Wow! It’s Wednesday! DVR For Your Radio
- Concept Photo by Craig Allen
Yesterday, my friend, Brian V who’s visiting us from out of town said that he’d love to have DVR for his radio — especially where NPR was concerned. That sounded good to me, too, and just the existence of podcasts alone means that programmable radio will probably happen one of these days. And that got me to thinking about all of the little advances that I’m looking forward to in the near future.
Right now, I’m on the edge of my seat, waiting for iPhone to release their 3.0 operating system, so that I can finally have cut and paste. But BlackBerry already has cute and paste, and Apple really should have let us have cut and paste from the get-go, so that doesn’t really count.
As far as the next little advance goes, I’m obsessed with the idea of having an LED. video wall, so I can’t wait until LED gets cheap enough to actually throw one up in our living room.
How about you? Forget about hover cars, what little technological advances are you looking forward to over the next few years?
I often want this. Such as when…
…I am listening to the news and I want to make sure I heard that right? (Fiat? Really?)
…I hear a good song and I want to hear it again. (Hit me baby one more time)
…I hear a phone number but I am driving and not good at multi-tasking (1-800-TXT-DRIV)
But I will say this – I won't pay for another DVR service. I'm already mad at TiVo for showing me ads in my Pause menu now (didn't I already pay for this service?)

well, technically npr does the same thing. for an entity that's "listener supported" they manage to work in a lot of ads into their program. This comment brought to you by Volkswagon. Once you get into a Volkswagon, it gets into you.

The DAR (digital audio recorder) is a must have on my next car-the meth powered Aston (see post titled "wonderfully aweful")

Ernessa, Dataviz is set to release their "Documents to Go" for the iPhone like next week and you will be able to cut and paste then. Of course it will cost you a $40+ premium. Then again, if you keep waiting for Apple we may never around to it…haven't they been promising copy and paste since version 2.0? For me, I'd like a voice operated GPS that I could interact with so well that I never had to use the touch screen. And in the version 3.0 of iPhone update, I would like a directed voice command feature (e.g., open my phone book and dial Brian or show me the video of Sekou from Christmas).
