MP3 Server Software


My new favourite piece of software. :)
I have had this dilemma with itunes not being able to stream music via any other means other then their own propietary clients to each other. Vibe Streamer is a wicked alternative. It gives you a means of accessing and playing your collection via a simple web browser. Supported browsers: IE, Firefox and Opera.

I am only streaming within my home, however it is possible to stream to the outside world with some simple configuration. FYI: Your IT department might not like you though. Cool if you are on the road.

Skinnable too!

Gorilla Pod Clone - How To.





The first picture is the OG Gorilla pod and the second is the one that can be created quickly with some parts from the hardware store.

Anyways, here's the HOW-TO.

Although, gotta watch out...

Global HD Vancouver Broadcasting OTA.

Awesome! They started to do testing last week, but now they are supposed to be fully fledged supporting broadcast in HDTV.

So for all of you guys that have antennas already, you can just perform a rescan on your ATSC enabled antenna and you should get good reception straight away.

Solar Powered Amplifier.


Perfect for jammin' with the Hippies.
Go Green or go home.

Neat application, guaranteed every has an old bookshelf speaker or something like that at home. You could plug in acoustic instruments, or go to the beach and play your ipod mp3's and not have to worry about a power source for your speaker.

If you need a speaker, I can probably help you out. Kinda neat.
