I’ve been geeking out lately. I bought some new toys that make the cockpit even more high tech.

First of all, I bought a RadioShark! My buddy Phil introduced me to this neat little gadget, and I immediately began to salivate. I haven’t used it to record any shows just yet. I have been using it daily however. It’s damn nice to be able to cycle through all my favorite radio stations with a single keystroke, and have it play through my computer’s booming, wall-shaking, glass-breaking speakers. The price was right too, I found one for only $50 shipped. Yay RadioShark!

I also bought a new digital camera to replace the old one I left on the bumper of Dave’s truck. I decided I wanted a couple more Megapixels, a smaller footprint, and able to take black and white photos. The camera I finally decided on was the Canon Powershot SD 200. It’s so small I could almost fit two of them in the palm of my hand–very, very dinky. I can see myself putting the camera in my pocket, having a few pirate shots, and losing the sucker.

So now I’ve got no less than four devices charging on my desktop: cellphone, digital camera, mp3 player, and GameBoy. As I write this blog entry I’m listening to Art Bell on AM 560 KSFO.

I love technology, don’t you?

You’ve got to listen to this.

Stuff you can meditate to. I try to listen to this for about an hour each night before falling asleep. It’s simply amazing.

Try the Cryosleep stream. Close your eyes and imagine that you’re floating through space. Maybe you’re orbiting one the moons of Jupiter, or Mars. You’re watching the outline of the planet/moon, when you see the Sun rise on the horizon…

I wish I had known about this when I was writing papers in college.
