Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:28:55 +0000 http://siliconflorist.com/?p=4307#comment-10313 I'm a big fan of most of the programming on pdx.fm. My small office usually has it on every morning of every day for a couple of hours and again for a couple of sports shows and a hiking show, no brainer there because we're in the outdoor biz here. It works great until someone has to make a run for gear or something and we wind up pulling out the rock, scissors, paper to see who has to miss out. So I am selfish because I already love pdx.fm but this thing really works great. My wife works in the tech and software industry in open source and we were talking about this just last weekend, isn't it cool that somebody had the common sense to realize that just because you can make an app doesn't mean you should? Here's a great example right here. Being forced to buy an app for everything isn't what Apple probably intended and right now I need to use three different apps to get all of my favorite old school radio stations. That's just stupid and tedious. Why can't everyone else figure this out?? Maybe I'd like to be listening while playing a game? Good job pdx.fm. Now if we all get together and convince a few of the people there to stay on the air longer! Hint. I’m a big fan of most of the programming on pdx.fm.
