Roadcasting is an idea bandied about for ages: create ad-hoc low power FM networks that let you share the mp3 music you're hearing in your car with those driving around you. It's basically a blueprint for shared pirate radio as you drive, surfing the dial for a variety of music from nearby motorists. They've got
screenshots and
source code and it looks
just like the system imagined in Cory Doctorow's books. I can't wait to see where this project is headed. [via

Tonight, I found a bevy of Bill Hicks mp3s. God, he was hilarious. He was more a truth-teller than a comedian. Luckily, there's still people out there that dig him too, including the great site at
BillHicks.com. Among the many cool things at that site is a
huge archive of audio clips of his standup and interviews.

Wow, a killer new site:
mp3lit.com. Listen to books in mp3 format. Wouldn't it be great if this was
Shoutcasted and a global wireless broadband network was in place so you could hear it in your car or walking around? Another cool thing would be if they hooked up with
The Gutenburg Project and had audio versions of all those free texts.
