Cool. I have family in Philadelphia; hopefully one of them receives WBYE and can record some episodes for me.
Ask and you shall receive.
Scott delivers his podcast on the new products from Apple. Scott, my birthday isn’t until June, but you can send the iPod Shuffle anytime
When are people going to learn that it is not ‘finders-keepers’ when it comes to Hawaiian remains and relics?
An Orange County man agreed to plead guilty to trying to sell a Hawaiian skull over the Internet.
Blogosphere buzzing over Apple new product announcements.
I was tuned into a couple of people who were blogging Steve Job’s keynote at Macworld. There is a lot to be excited about – the iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, and the improvements in iLife ’05. I’m most interested in iWork, the AppleWorks replacement. AppleWorks was getting long in the tooth, and was not even a Coca app – shameful for an Apple product in this day and age.

iTunes Music Store Gets Its Irish Up.
