Last year, I was far from Pittsburgh on vacation and wanted to hear the local broadcast of a live Steelers game. I had no internet access and was just chilling in my hotel room when I found the perfect solution that allows me to listen to radio stations from far away – the Iheartradio app! The free app was a simple download into my Android smart phone. Within seconds I clicked on Pittsburgh and had the local broadcast, which was, thankfully, broadcasting the game. Unlike satellite radio or television sports packages, you are getting the actual live broadcast, commercials and all. The best part – it’s FREE! The Iheartradio app was created by Clear Channel Radio to allow more interactivity between their radio stations. The app is most used on Android, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Windows 7 phones. You can also listen for free and check out all the features on iheart.com. The app delivers instant access to over 800 local radio stations from across the US, exclusive digital-only channels, and rebroadcasts of popular national morning radio shows. The app also allows for sharing of photos, video, and interacting with DJ’s. Downloading and using the app is quite easy, but it does count against your phone’s data usage plan. Those on an unlimited plan will have no problem. But, as phone carriers get cheap and begin to charge for excess bandwidth, you should monitor your data usage rate. You will be able to listen for a good while without consuming too much data, but be forewarned – those overage fees can be painful! Iheartradio began as Iheartmusic.com and the website first launched in April 2008 giving listeners access to 750 Clear Channel Stations. In October of that year, the app was first released...

1:00 pm on a Friday. Quittin’ Time, right? Not quite yet, unfortunately. But here are some fun things to tide you over when the boss isn’t looking. First of all, if you’re looking for a new job, or even thinking about getting a new job, why don’t you start updating your resume now? One week at a time, so that you’ll be ready when you’re finally ready to make your big move? Here’s a resume tip from Monique King-Viehland to get you started: Size really does matter! Especially when it comes to resumes. I know the first thought most people have when crafting their resume is that you want to include every cool thing about yourself. I mean, hey your trying to impress these folks, so you can get a job dang it! But trust me, when it comes to resumes, less is more. So here is a quick rule of thumb: your resume should be no more than one page if you have less than 10 years of experience, or you’re making a career change and your experience isn’t relevant to your new goal or you’ve held one or two positions with the same employer. In this case – and no other – smaller is definitely better. And after your resume’s all whittled down, you can reward yourself: 1. Listen to the latest Bond Theme song by Alicia Keys and Jack White. I like what they’re trying to do here, but in the end, I don’t think it quite works. But let me know what you think: 2. After that, you can watch these four Oscar-bait trailers. Two of them star my favorite blond nerd actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman. One is written by one of my favorite screenwriter, Charlie Kauffman. One is written...
