I remember the old days... using my browser to find radio stations on the Internet.
But now, there are Wi-Fi Internet Radio devices that use your wireless router to bring you crystal clear radio... and it works well!
I tried a device over the weekend. It was a simple set-up to type in the passphrase for my router, and soon it was searching for stations.
The amazing part is that it has radio stations in its database from all around the world... and from every state in the US. So if you want to listen to stations in Oklahoma,Montana or Florida - you can! It's got AM and FM radio stations, as well as INTERNET RADIO STATIONS.
The only drawback to the one I have is that you must hook it up to speakers, or the AUX input on a radio or home theater system. But NO COMPUTER is needed... at all!
If you remember being able to tune in a Chicago AM radio station at night from Philadelphia, you're gonna love this!

Conficker Worm Confusing?
I'm sure many of you are still worried and wondering if you have the Conficker worm.
Since there is still much not known about this, it's difficult to know what it will do and when it will do it.
But Warren Doering discovered this interesting website which may help you determine whether you have it.
Just go to the site and see if you get all the images... if not scroll down and read the legend.

It's not the end all, but it may help some.

Have You Twittered?
I have decided to give Twitter a try, after hearing how many people are doing it.
At first, I wasn't sure what to do. So I took the time to read through some of the help guides.
I found out that Twitter is just a place to type out your thoughts. And others can "follow" your thoughts if they want. And I can follow others. So far I've been following Wierd Al Yankovic. I'm not too sure what he's talking about.
You only get about 160 characters, so choose your words carefully.
