WCOM 103.5
WCOM is a community radio station with a studio in downtown Carrboro and an antenna at Scroggs Elementary School in Southern Village. WCOM is the first low-power FM community radio station in the area to be set up under a program established by the Federal Communications Commission in 2000. Low-power FM is grassroots radio—an effort to counterbalance the increasing concentration of radio ownership by a few large corporations.

Hey Kids!
Great show, I had many thoughts while listening, but nothing that could be addressed on the fly within the time you had available...This gotomypc.com seems hackalicious, I must say. In theory potentially very useful, but scary from a security standpoint?? Discuss amongst yourselves.
one suggestion: put a link to your email address(es) on the technotes site, so visitors can email you w/comments or questions? I know this posting option is always there, but I personally like the feel of sending an email directly to you (do you look at your comments? what if I'm shy and don't want the whole world to see my silly question??)
And one comment: while listening, I kept thinking about the enormous impact on the environment/landfills from all the innovation and constant change in the mobile computing industry. Putting aside my question about the true need for many of these new toys (is technology developed in response to an actual need or for the purpose of creating new needs?) - the issue of batteries alone is a huge one. We did read an article recently about research that is happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, on the use of nano-scae devices that convert motion into electricity: “You could envision having these nanogenerators in your shoes to produce electricity as you walk,” Wang said. (go here to check it out: http://gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/newsrelease/nanogenerator.htm). At any rate, I think this topic is really interesting and relevant- the technology isn't going away, but how can we as consumers of it encourage the industry to standardize the accessories more (what happens to all that crap when you move on to the next camera/phone/laptop) and reduce the need for so much plastic garbage? Also, who really wants to carry all that junk around with them - no room for the awesome souvenirs you want to bring home from your travels (coffee, chocolate, wine, ceramic monkeys, etc)??
Ok - that's it for now, from your favorite luddites in the NW corner. We're really enjoying the show (I must confess some surprise on that front, b/c you know how much I love computers. Not.) and the music. I hope you are hearing from local listeners - I know it can feel like you are talking to a wall sometimes if folks don't call or write.
One last confession - we missed the opening 8 minutes of the show (b/c we were running to get americanos at the neighborhood espresso stand- it's true we can't do anything here w/out coffee) and so we didn't even hear Thomas Dolby (I'm sorry!!) but thanks for playing it. I agree that you should get yerself a custom themesong, though. Can't wait to hear that.
Rock on-
Carol and Bob
Great show - always!
Am pleased to have "acquired" Flickr & now post pix with ease -- thanx to Scott (his patience)& technology. Probably won't get to phone in, today - I'm "out" - but did want to report on my progress - in technology. Flickr is so easy to use.
And, oh-yes -- I now have DSL (again, a gift from Scott) - what a son -- yes??
