On question #4, I misread the correct answer (twice) and say that fish have been around for 50 million years. Well, the correct answer is really 500 million years.

Band: Darcy Fray
Indie Rock

I’ve spent that last couple of days learning how to play with WordPress. Also teaching myself the not-so-subtleties of recording and syndication. The test message is out there. The first episode should be available soon. Please standby.

Wow. What a day. I got up at 6:45 and took a shower. A few days before I had downloaded iTunes Alarm. As the names suggests, this program turns iTunes into an alarm clock and allows one to specify the time, playlist, volume, and other settings and includes features like a user controllable fade up or down and a sleep alarm. The only twist is that it won’t wake my Powerbook up out of Sleep Mode. To get around that, I set the Schedule under the Energy Saver Preferences to come on a minute before the alarm. It’s an extra step, but it allows me to role my own morning show. So under iTunes, I created a playlist called “Wake Up!,” and have copied a bunch of bouncy, morning songs into it from the Podsafe Music Network.

I also soon realized that I don’t need to listen to NPR broadcasts in real time anymore. Instead, I can download their news summaries and mix it in with my own program selections. Pretty neat trick.
