On friday when I was running, at first I was listening to my radio, before I got the phone call. Anyway, just as I was starting to run, and choosing a radio station, I heard an announcement on the radio – ‘You are listening to a test transmission from the Sydney Radio Company on 95.3 MHz. If these transmissions are causing any interference pleas contact us on…’. They then played some music. I would guess that they are using a DJ at the moment, but it must be the easiest job ever. For the short time I was listening they were alternating between songs on two CD’s. Different songs of course, but they would play the first song from CD 1 then the first song from cd 2, then the 2nd song from CD 3 etc.

I think that this is the test transmission for the new sister station to NOVA FM. Seems to fit what I have read, and they are due to start in the next couple of months.

I do not fly a plane. I would love to get a license to fly, but I just do not trust myself. I think it is safer that way. But I have always loved the idea of flying… And I would love to learn how to fly Microsoft Flight Simulator one day. There are add-ins for this program to do almost anything you can think of. And you can add your own aircraft. But of all the things that fly the one thing I never expected was a ‘Jet Pack’ which would allow a human to fly like those people on the International Space Station. You can read more here

The BBC has a rather strange story about how a car ran into a house in the UK. The strange thing was that the car hit the 2nd story of the house. Police are still trying to work out exactly what happened, but there is a freeway nearby, and it is possible that the car was driving significantly faster than the posted speed limit.
