The aerye is more wired than ever

You know what's better than listening to WWOZ from New Orleans streaming over the Internet?

Listening to it on a set of really amazing speakers where I actually hear *all* the notes!

Alexx gave me a set of awesome speakers, and even set them up for me, and there is a nifty remote so I can sit in Ektor and turn up the volume when the folks at the Salvation Army house begin to sing Christian songs loudly (and off-key).

(Another thing I love about WWOZ: it never plays "The Christmas Shoes"--this is my test for what radio stations I listen to in late December.)

Best tactile present: M. gave me a gorgeous silk robe with a Chinese print on it. Other people gave me books (they know me so well!).

Oh, wow--WWOZ is playing Steeley Spam and I can even hear the harmony.

Happy hollydaze to everyone!

Awesome speakers sounds good (groan). Care to name drop?

I only know that they are Logitech computer speakers, and they were a model which came with a hand control with the volume, bass level, and power buttons on it. It's a wired hand control, but since the aerye is small, the wire for the control is long enough to drape over the arm of my reading chair next to my computer desk. I'll ask Alexx to post the model info here when he has sufficiently recovered from the Christmas revelries.
