Howard Stern has the much-anticipated jump to satellite radio. I don’t agree with a lot of what Howard says or does, but I do believe he has a right to do it. On the radio, no less.
This might be what it takes for me to get a satellite radio subscription. Give ’em hell, Howard!
On a related note, he and his staff earn $80 million dollars? Good god.
I’ve been reading and rereading the latest Cringley column, describing a Canadian Linux user who has hooked up his whole neighborhood using 802.11 and Linux. He has become his neighborhood’s cable TV company, phone company, and Internet company, all legally and using Linux. Fascinating stuff!
I would love to replicate it here, if possible. I’ve got the know-how in Linux, wireless, and voice-over-IP. I’ve got a neighborhood of 500+ homes. I suppose all I’m really lacking now is time. If I built things one piece at a time, I could get it up and running.
I think I’ll start with my immediate neighbors, many of whom are computer geeks such as myself. I’ll let y’all know how the project progresses.
