This weekend, Kerry and I became proud owners of iPhones. We’re a little late to the game, but I don’t really mind. It’s been worth the wait. And half of that reason is how geeky I can make the device. If I open up the calculator, for example, and turn the phone sideways, it becomes a scientific calculator.
Even better is something I found thanks to Andy Carvin‘s Twitter feed: the Public Radio Tuner application developed by American Public Media: Over either WiFi or a 3G network, I can now stream public radio stations from around the nation.
 
What this means, most likely, is that if I get off work by nine in the evening, and it’s my post night, I still have about an hour to listen to “All Things Considered” in the car, if I pull up KCRW from Santa Monica, Calif. The time difference makes doing this blog much much easier.
(Or listen to “Morning Becomes Eclectic” on my lunch break. Whatever. It makes up for my burgeoning Tap Tap Revenge habit.)
