NPR did a short item on “Morning Edition” about a post that I wrote for Engadget last week. Or, as Evan Blass of Engadget put it: “hmm, one company cyrus works for is quoting another company cyrus works for. shocking! ;-)”

Best thing about Parallels Workstation? My Gameday Audio (which I paid good money for) finally works on my Mac — well, Engadget’s Mac, to be precise. For the life of me I can’t get it to play natively on my MacBook.

Here’s audio for the first version that I recorded for NPR earlier today. (If for some reason that doesn’t work, try this link.) This first aired, as far as I’m aware, at 22h00 Eastern today. There’s a second version airing sometime tonight/early tomorrow. Comments/suggestions welcome!

So I just finished recording two “spot news” one minute pieces for NPR which will air at the top of the news hour sometime tonight. No idea when, though. Lemme know if you hear it! Went well, and thanks again to Rick Karr. 🙂 Back to the Engadget trenches.

These guys just came up on SOMA FM. Sweet Estonian rock music — The Tartu Pop and Rock Institute. Here’s some of their tunes, here and here.

“I hate writing. I like having written.” – Anna Quindlen City Arts & Lectures San Francisco, Calif. Aired on KQED on July 11, 2006

Every so often you get in a funk with your own music collection and want to listen to something a bit different. After being exposed to Soma FM, courtesy of my co-worker, Curt Poff (who gave me a Soma FM sticker), I finally tuned in. I’ve been loving their Indie Pop Rocks! feed, which is exactly the kind of music I love, but it’s fresh and new every day. I’m sold.
