I came across this device yesterday. Although I won’t be screaming for my life like the woman on the left, it would seem to get me excited too.
The Instant FM Music device claims to record live FM broadcasts, search songs on the radio, and do it all for under $50.
It uses a USB device that has a retractable antennea that can scan RDS information (that’s what radio stations use to send out song data) so you can listen and record any program or song you want. Best of all, it seems to be DMCA compliant. We’ll have to wait and see.

A survey conducted in August and presented yesterday shows that only one in four Americans check the sources of websites that give out health advice. The survey was released by the Pew Internet Project.
About 10 million Americans searched the web for advice on health advice and medical problems in a day. That 7% of internet users (US) made that rank in popularity with paying bills, searching for phone numbers, and reading blogs.
Among those top searches medical treatment, info on a certain disease, exercise, and nutrition.

How often have you been in a war zone in a luxury can wished that you could be safe? Well now you can with the Mercedes-Benz S600 Safegaurd. The video (below) shows the car still move quick with shot out tires, getting fired on with a high-powered rifle and can take on fire. (the flamethrower kind).
And with a V12 and a $131,000 price tag you’ll be rolling through that war zone in style.

A few folks have told me to check out wine from Chile. I never thought of that before, so I decided to give it a stab. I tried the MontGras Merlot. Back in 2002 they won the best Chilean Wine producer award.
Although they claim that the wine has a plum aroma my not-so-well developed sense of smells could not sense it but my taste buds picked up a hint of cedar with a hint of drieness I’ve been looking for.
It’s not the best wine I’ve tasted, but a good venture into a “New World” wine. I’ll post updates as I continue to try this merlot.

It seems that a bunch of nerdcore hip-hop artists have put out a Halloween album that is free for download. Check it out nerdsters.
