It’s Official. I’m Engaged!

Alright folks, I am now officially engaged to my girlfriend of 4 1/2 years. We’ve been talking about it for awhile now so it’s not such “new” news for us but actually getting the ring and placing it on her finger has been very exciting and fun. But in the end, what has me happiest is the fact that each day together is better than the last. So, we have a lot of room to slip and slide over the years and I can not think of anyone else that I would like to do that with. I love you, Susie.

Happy Friday

Save Net Radio

Net Radio gives the average, non-corporate aligned radio people the chance to do business and work in a field almost entirely controlled by a few companies with multi-multi-million dollar budgets. Those big business folks always say that everyone has equal chance in such an arena but that’s an utter lie. Most of us will NEVER have the kinds of funds that are being required to produce and distribute radio. Yet radio has always been considered a public service and the budgets that are being set are only that high because the controlling interests don’t want competition. It is entirely possible to put out very high quality radio without the artificially high costs. Therefore, it is up to you and I to keep pressure on this situation and help make it possible for small groups to compete in a world where private, highly funded interests are declaring who and what can be heard on public “airwaves”.

And thus:

You can help. At least one of your Senators is a Member of the Judiciary Committee and we need their support. Call them today and ask them to support independent artists, small businesses, and the future of Internet radio. You can find their phone number and talking points here: http://www.capwiz.com/saveinternetradio/alert_9738601.html. Ask your Senator to support the Brownback Amendment to S. 2913.
