Bye Bye Sirius?

I've had Sirius radio for about 3 years now and really love commercial free music. I also like the comedy channels and the kids channels.

But the radio's I have from Sirius were crappy at best. I couldn't even get stereo from them, only mono. Now, the two radio's I originally had went out and all Sirius is offering me is to BUY another radio. I pay a monthly fee for their services and they don't have any free hardware.

Well I get me an Iphone and I discover that Itunes has a radio feature. In my car, I use the Ipod feature in my Iphone and then at work I just tune into the Itunes radio. Commercial free and lots of variety. Oh, and it is free. (At least I hope it is.... I've been using it for 3 days now.)

Anyway, the only reason I was thinking of keeping the Sirius radio was for the football games I can listen to in the fall. But to save the monthly payment, I might as well can the 'ol Sirius and go with the Itunes. I've been more and more impressed with Apple and the products they have put out the last few years. I might even have to try one of their laptops soon. And they just came out with movie rentals.

You have any ideas?

My latest toy

Iphone. You got one yet? It is amazing. I can't say enough about how much I love it. Webpages at my fingertips. Googlereader, weather, sports updates, the ability to blog: all in my pocket everywhere I go. What's that? YOU have the internet on your phone too? Well not like the Iphone. I can open word docs, pdf's, excel, it goes on and on. Blowberry phones got nothin' on the Iphone. Oh yeah! And then there is my renewed love affair with Triumph, Rush, Shooting Star, and all my other favorite bands from when I was in high school. I can actually buy 1 song at a time. Amazing technology. . . Now if only I could download FTP onto my Iphone....

That's what I got to say today.... Sucked it up in poker last night, but I got it in good, so that's all that matters, right? We will be trying again tonight. Congrats to Skidoo for taking down the MATH last night.

Stay patient...
