It’s Like a Podcast, Only Delivered Wirelessly.

Earlier this evening, I wanted to listen to my local NPR station to hear the results of today’s gubernatorial primary in Massachusetts.

So I grabbed my laptop, went to wbur.org, clicked through to the “Listen Live’ page, copied the link to their online stream to my clipboard, went to my Squeezebox control web page, selected “Radio Tune In”, pasted in the WBUR streaming URL, and hit Listen. Simple!

And as the LED display in the room lit up with “WBUR 90.9 FM, BOSTON”, it occurred to me belatedly that the RhymesWithNose sound system in my living room has an FM radio built-in.

This FM thing could really take off, you know.

Game Informer Online: Will Wii Be Disappointed Again?

Are us Nintendo fanboys just setting ourselves up for disappointment again? Frankly, I’ve never been disappointed with Nintendo consoles: They were the only places to play Donkey Kong Country or Pikmin, and well worth the price of admittance.
