Radio

Have I mentioned that I love Rant Radio? No?

Well, I should have.

Rant Radio and WTOP are the only stations I listen to. That is it. (Well, that and the big band/ swing/ hipster station in LA that my grandfather turned me on to.

(I’m such a nerd)

SO ANYWAY - I wanted a way to listen to some of these things on the go (I love my iPod) and I was thinking I might have to record the streams out to analog and then record them back in, just to circumvent the dreaded copyright restrictions!!! But, I googled [some combination of words] and found this site. Lo and behold, all my troubles seem to be solved. I was pointed toward two programs for my Mac and I shall evaluate them further. I believe that one of them will fulfill my needs. Nifty.

I guess I am a Johnny come lately to this phenomenon of "pod casts". Oh well.

So, because I have stacks of cds, DVDs, Books, and video games I have been looking for a good way to track them. I have tried spreadsheets and other inventory programs, to no avail. Found one that makes me happy though. Delicious Library (sorry kids - Mac OS X only) It is bloody cool. I can key in the ISBN, UPC, EAN, Title, Artist, or Author and it finds the book, cd, video game, movie or whatever and it builds my database of crap.

It also has a cool check out feature so I can track where the items are (if and when I lend them out). Very cool.

In other news,

I tried Starbucks Eggnog Latte today. Not bad, but sort of odd. I think I'll stick with the regular Latte though.
