WYSO to Boost Power

WYSO, 91.3, Antioch College's radio station since 1958, will be boosting their power from 37,000 watts to 50,000 giving Cincinnatians a better chance of hearing their volunteer programming.
Porktowners are well acquainted with the volunteer community radio concept nowadays due to WAIF, started decades ago by WYSO veterans.

The HUM

WHUM, over there in sunny Columbus, Hoosierland promises alternative, reggae, new age, inca, classic country, medieval, Irish, bluegrass, folk, oldies, celtic, adult standards, classic rock & adult contemporary.
"But, Quimbob, how do we pick up stations in far off Indiana on our crappy little crystal sets?" you ask.
Dust off your computer & open this address in your trusty copy of VLC.
mms://WHUM-Live.dyndns.org:8000
Use File>Open Network
MMS is a proprietary protocol from the fine folks at M$oft, so, if you are on a Mac, you will need one of those fancy plug-ins called Flip4Mac. It's FREE!
No clue about on listening on Linux.
Listening in iTunes is kinda nuts.
Here are instructions. It requires Quicktime Pro which is not free.

Would You Work on This Guy's iBook ?

Thinking different

The Consumerist has reported that Apple techs have refused to work on computers that have been exposed to excessive cigarette smoke. They claim it is a bio-hazard. It might be gross & the goop might actually damage the computer, but I doubt it is a bio-hazard. When I was a lad & started fooling around in radio at WYSO, WUSO & Bruce's Jolly Roger, I was instructed not to smoke around the electronics. At Jolly Roger it was more an issue that Bruce's parents would have killed us for smoking in his bedroom. Anyway, growing up in a house full of chain smokers I saw the yellowy brown residue everywhere, most notably on windows.
So, if you spend a lot of time tokin' up and zoning out on your iTunes Visualizer, I guess you can expect your Apple warranty to be voided. The kids at the genius bar putting on haz-mat suits might be worth it, tho.
