Radio on the Internet

Yes, indeed!
There's a lot of music (and talk show) radio available for free using a technology called "streaming."

There are several ways to "stream" music (bring it into your ears via internet). Here's one that doesn't require downloading anything. It just requires speakers or headphones.

AOL (America Online) also has one that's free and easy to use: http://music.aol.com/radioguide/bb

Recycleable Personal Organizer

Some of us like to use our computer to keep track of our "to do" lists. Some of us carry around a purse load or pocket full of random scraps of paper.

And, some of us have fallen in love with POCKET MOD!
http://repocketmod.com/

The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. .... Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, .....

The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It's best that you just dive in and create one. http://repocketmod.com/
