Call this one a lazyblog, I don’t care. But I love gadgets, and holy crap, there’s finally an applicable gadget for me to talk about (other than iPhone apps, and, y’know, radios).
R/S reader Patrick Baker dropped us a line today to tell us about the Radio Bookmark.
It’s a USB keyring. It works like this: hear a song or story you like, click the button and it records the time of day. When you plug it into your computer, it pulls up the time (like a Web browser bookmark, rather than a book bookmark (neé simple “bookmark”).
It then scours the Internet for data about what was playing then, and it’ll help you find the song, story, or program you were listening to.
It doesn’t seem as simple or as magic as Shazam, but at least you aren’t left in the lurch when it can’t find the song you like because the radio stations you listen to are just too cool for school. Or too drunk for this lame-ass club.
Even with it on my keyring all the time, I’d still probably forget to use it. Let us know if you’ve tried it, and what you think.

I love mine! I have a busy schedule so I can’t always hear the end of stories on WBEZ, and this lets me listen to the rest when things aren’t so hectic.
