So I'm searching for the Nebraska audio on the different radio apps (channels) on the roku.. We have satellite radio and the game is there, but can I find it on the roku?? I look on the two bigger (?) radio channels in Tune in and i-Heart which proved a waste of time.. Tune in had several that showed the game was on but never played them, buffering issues I guess.. Then I tried i-Heart and this is really more for music than anything else.. Then I tried a few more channels, Accuradio and Shoutcast of which Accuradio is more music and a lot of foreign news talk/sports.. And shoutcast is pretty much the same... I also loaded up a "new" channel called 1.FM or one dot FM and I checked the music and they really aren't too bad.. I moved it up to the music/radio section of my lineup and checked Earbits and found it is nearly not working at all now, left a post on the Roku forum site to let them know if anyone cared, I told them I hadn't checked the channel out in quite some time so I didn't know how long it was this way.. Yesterday during the yawnfest Cowboys/niners game I checked a couple more radio channels on the old roku and one was Rdio... Just for the shits and giggles I checked to see if I could get it to work without going through the hassle of getting it authorized to the computer and shit and to my surprise I didn't.. Why hadn't I tried that before then?? Beats me, anyway I gave it a try.. First group I tried, of course it just had to be Lacuna Coil, my favorite group from Italy... They had them but as I tried to get my favorite song by them to play, it played a song fom earlier on that album.. Dark Adrenaline is the album and so now that channel is called Dark Adrenaline.. Works for me.. Set up a few more and when it came to groups like Schiller they did alright, I like Schiller more in the era or realm they are in I want the channel to be that, so when I clicked to have the true Schiller channel, I picked the song Schiller.. That should stay closer to what I want.. Velvet Airplane was too vague I guess.. I liked the direction it was going until it went too dub step for me... YUCK... then I tried something that I just had to, to find out how that would sound I tried Pink Floyd.. Big mistake.. Well, the thing of it is when I want to hear a group like Pink Floyd, it generally is that I want to hear Pink Floyd, not a group remotely thought to be like Pink Floyd.. So after letting them try to get that channel to be like Pink Floyd and not hearing a Floyd song, I tried another favorite in Tangerine Dream.. Again when I want to hear Tangerine Dream, I generally want to hear them.. not a group remotely related to them.. Sorry that channel won't work.. tried Rubicon as a song to work from.. That didn't work.. Maybe it would be good to hear some distant relative of their music.. Then I went more mainstream and tried Dave Edmunds... That actually was quite good, that was more true Rock and roll in that vein of what I wanted.. Then went with Dwight Twilley and that as well worked quite well.. Then it was kickoff time for the game and switched it off.. Interesting channel though, kinda like Pandora.. But not...
The video above was from the local celebration last Monday called Old Settlers Day(s) with Monday being the final day and the one everyone gets together for.. Through the video works from the week before and this one I came to my own realization.. I have a crush on my nieces daughter Emmerson.. What a cutie she really is and just is so.. Has such an incredible personality.. She just has that "it" factor.. When I say I have a crush I mean I can see a lot of broken hearts in her wake as she gets older..
This summer was a lot less hot that in previous years.. We had a day in July where if the temperature got above seventy I would have been surprised if it did.. Then last week on Wednesday it got to a hundred degrees.. Here this week nearly a week to the day it might snow.. Thursday the high is supposed to be mid forties ... Hard to believe.. It reminds me of the year.. actually ten years ago.. I decided to tear part of the wall in the back down and try to build it up again because it was starting to fall down and look nasty.. sadly I remember that time the most as being the last heavy project I did before my dad passed away.. And every fall I remember that as the weather, begins to turn, and we have a rainy day that announces the turn from summer to fall.. This past summer being the most tolerable summer in quite some time.. Hot days and cooler nights, I had a (single) twin fan window fan except for one week in early August when it wasn't cutting it.. I had a big triple blade fan in for that week only, then the fever broke and it cooled off.. I think I tolerated the heat better than mom did.. Now it's getting cold.. I won't wear a coat before the seasonal change on the 23rd , the first day of fall.. just won't do it..
