You all know
about Japanese haiku...those
poems with the 5-7-5 format. 5 syllables followed by 7, followed by
5. But now, due to the pain of hearing horns honk all day long, a
young man in New York named Aaron has created HONKU.. great 3 line poems
fighting back against NY honkers. BEEP

Spam, we all
get it, we all hate it (at least I think we do)! This site was
created by some folks who have too much time on their hands. It's
SPAM RADIO! Now you can listen to a computer voice speaking

listen to what you're comfortable with. spamradio.com
Also did you know that the meat Spam (as opposed to email) has a new

Our federal
government is at it again. They have the power to decide how much in Royalties
should be paid when a station plays a song over their internet broadcast
feed. They've set up a Copyright Arbitration Royalty
Panel...CARP for short, and so far they think that a station should pay
for every listener who listens to even a clip of EVERY song. And pay
a lot. It'll be the death of Internet simulcasting of radio
stations. But it's NOT to late, we can respond. Visit here,
get a hold of your politico's, tell 'em your feelings! Save
Internet Radio!
