I just figured out I can customize my Windows Live sidebar thinger on my work laptop. At first I thought, woo great, now I have a clock and the current temperature on my desktop (boring!) But then I browsed through the widgets you can download and discovered this
ugly but handy little guy (thanks to
Michael for making it):
Windowsvistaplayer Oh hai, internet radio at my fingertips! You can customize your buttons, which I've done for about half of them so far. This means that I can click around to BAGeL, KEXP, KCRW at will by the click of a button!*
Other than
BAGEeL, KCRW and KEXP - oh, and I'm about to add SOMA - what are the other wonderful internet radio stations I need to add?
And does the KEXP stream cut out intermittently for the rest of you like it's doing for me?
*I'm sure there are five more elegant options that I don't know about and that Macs handle this much better than a PC, blah blah blah, but I found this option and it made me happy so don't burst my bubble! That said, I'm open to suggestions.
