Internet radio
Now that I’m alone at work, I’m listening to a lot more music. I’ve got a bunch of my CDs ripped to my hard drive, but that’s not always what I want at work, so I often turn to Internet radio. Unfortunately, we don’t have a huge pipe at work. A 56 kbps stream works […]

Random update
It’s been forever since I posted about me. It’s always harder to write an interesting post when you’ve put off posting for a while, so I’m only going to half-heartedly try to be interesting here and concentrate on getting past the Post Barrier. I’m sure most of you have figured out by now that Candice […]
