Scott, thanks for the radio station. It rocks!

Travelin’ Man… My commute is pretty short, so I’m not ready to spring for XM yet. I’m still counting on Slingbox to get baseball. They are releasing a client for my cell phone, so I’ll connect that to my car and listen to the audio of it.

Spring for XM – you won’t regret it. I know that you are a big baseball guy from previous posts. Between the baseball and all the music channels – specifically oriented to splinter formats, you would go nuts. It was easily the best thing that I purchased all of last year. As my name would indicate, I travel a lot, and I would hate getting into my rental car and not being able to find a decent music channel anywhere on the dial. Now, I don’t need to find the local all-sports channel, I know that #140 is ESPN. I do prefer the local channels when I can find them – and they are good – WFAN in NY, for example – but, what do you do when you are in Buffalo? Listen to four days of incessant Bills and Sabres talk? Negative.

But, it is getting every baseball game, all season, with the local announcers that makes the whole deal worth it for me. This is one of the things that is worth the monthly splurge in costs.

Did you know that Donald Trump gets paid something crazy like $1 million per Learning Annex class!?!

So you know, 104.9 FM is back on the air as an alternative rock station here in the Bay Area. I don’t know what happened with that “Radio Romantica” stuff they were playing for a while, but it’s gone now. Reception is pretty good here in San Jose, not sure about SF though.
