Is this the future of non-satellite radio?
So an old rock station flipped formats in the wee hours of the morning. "
Lone Star 92.5 will not air traditional spots. Instead, the station will have 'sponsors' whose content will be integrated in throughout the hour [a la NPR].
Lone Star 92.5 will feature such artists as ZZ Top, The Old 97's, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and of course, Willie Nelson. In fact, the Red Headed Stranger will also serve as the voice of the station."
This just might be the significant step it takes
HD Radio to rise to the challenge of
satellite radio.
Those who claim to know radio cynically predict the new format will go down in flames. Maybe they just say that because it is a
part of the universally reviled
Clear Channel Communications.

Glenn Mitchell passes away.
If you don't live in the Dallas area or listen to
KERA "on the sly," as Glenn used to say, you have no idea who Glenn Mitchell was. If he had lived a few months longer, you would have heard him on
XM Radio starting in early 2006. Possibly the best interviewer of our age. He left us far to early. Check out the
forum to see what he meant to his listeners. Rest in peace, Glenn.

If you were
going to invite 10 bloggers for dinner, whom would you invite?
John, of J-Walk Blog decided to start this new parlor game for bloggers. I tripped across it in the 1/31/05 post on
Reality Carnival. It's a pretty good way to find the bloggers that the most fascinating bloggers find most fascinating. (Did that make sense?) The best bloggers define their own personal Best of the Web.
[Warning- proceed only if you have several hours to kill!]

The
City [Parts I & II, each a
15:00+ minute realPlayer video].
An urban planning film from 1939 that takes a nostalgic look at country life, compares it to the hustle and bustle of 1930s big city life, and presents a utopian alternative.
Reviews of The City, Parts I & II, can be found at
the Prelinger Archives if you want to read about them before you commit to watching the 30 minute movie. I tripped across this while surfing around on the
forums at
Cyburbia: The urban planning portal. Also notable: Music by
Aaron Copland.

Life Goes On:
Just as curbing rampant capitalism in post-9/11 America is letting the terrorists win, I guess canceling vacations to Indonesia would be to let the tsunami win...

"
TengoInternet and the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department announced a pilot program to offer wireless Internet service at five Texas state parks... The wireless service will allow park guests while visiting the park to access the Internet to gain park information, send e-mail or pictures, or just surf the Web, without cords having to physically plug into a network."
Shouldn't be camping be more about nature than technology?
