Let Me Google That For You…
Mar 16th
A coworker showed Let Me Google That For You today and I was really amused… It serves the exact purpose that they say!!
This is for all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves.
So check it out, I think you can have some fun with it. I couldn’t find any post worthy YouTube videos and didn’t really feel like taking the time to create one myself – sorry!
The Death of a StarPlayr
Mar 13th
I can’t even really express how disappointed I am at the ending of the StarPlayr project! The nails in the coffin were really hammered in by Sirius XM’s updated Terms & Conditions of use, per the post at StarPlayr.
What I can say is that Sirius XM is already on thin ice in my book. The channel merger was absolutely horrific! I didn’t see any emails or receive notice regarding changes of my subscription. When I got in the car the morning after, the receiver updated the channel list and one of my most listened to stations (Sirius 36, The Beat) was turned into something totally unrecognizable which turned out to be BPM. Sirius XM must have received tons of complaints about this channel and others. I listened to BPM for a whole day and at the end, switched over to Hits 1 and The Pulse. A few weeks later, I switched back on BPM and except for some of the personalities being gone, the music was back to the way it was. Even the morning show, renamed The Beat Morning Show on BPM.
I was ready to cancel my subscription right then based on that and other changes. Luckily, Derek and Romaine survived the merger.
Now that it is becoming more apparent that Sirius XM is going to be releasing an app for the iPhone, if they require me to pay more for the convenience, I’m ready to say goodbye Sirius XM.
I was so looking forward to the quality App that NiceMac was beta testing and was willing to pay for the app, but not anything additional for the service. I recently even donated a small amount of cash for the project as well.
I’ll be on the lookout for updated information and SIrius XM has one strike left before they’re out of my life for good and I’ll settle for services like Pandora or Last.fm.

iPhone music… live.
Mar 7th
One of the first apps ever demoed for the iTunes App Store was music synth. The Mentalists have taken the apps to a new level by performing a live cover of Kids by MGMT. Pretty neat stuff.
