Streaming

In my quest to avoid working, I've decided to keep my promise and update the blog. Today I've decided to share a few thoughts on streaming vs. downloading. First, streaming is better. Come on, it is. Have you tried it? Not only am I considering canceling my Sirius radio b/c the signal is terrible, I am actually thinking about trying Rhapsody.

At first I had a bad feeling about streaming. It just didn't sit well. I tried Last.fm and it sucked, I haven't tried Pandora because I have lost all faith in other people, and when you live in rural TN a solid signal broadband signal is no guarantee. But now, I've got a signal.

My new favorite website is archive.org for its streaming feature, now I can listen to entire shows from the entire archive with no cost to my hard drive. Open the playlist in iTunes and I don't have to go back to get the stream again, it's always there. I know I'm behind the times b/c I don't have an external to store everything on but, hey, I call it efficiency. Ha.

Well that's all for now, maybe more thoughts will come. Until then...
