Now I can take my fine-tuned station with me with the Slacker G2 Personal Radio Player - Yesss!

So I'm sitting in the home office, doing some work and I think to myself - “this place needs some music”. The problem I have is not only that I wanted music, I wanted my unique genres and artists, I wanted an online source – not a bunch of mp3s I've gotta make playlists for, I wanted to be able to use it on both my mac or my PC, I wanted it all.
Slacker.com is what I found. I've seen the light! Well, for the most part.

Best Buy. Being I needed a new Satellite setup anyways, I made the switch from Dish Network and was soon enjoying my new HDTV setup for under $1200.

The Mr. & I skipped the ridiculous in home setup at Best Buy and opted to buy the hanging hardware at Costco for about $80 and did the install ourselves. The DirecTv dude ran the cables and we hooked it up easily without looking at the instructions (who needs stinking instructions anyways?). I did however print out some setup instructions from the local TV nerd forum that were super easy and I lo-and-behold we were watching the Discovery channel in all of its HDTV glory. I swore those antelope [...] Continue Reading...
