The Appliance of Joey.

Seriously, these two guys have way too much free time on their hands.

Perhaps Engadget should send these guys to do the next iPhone commercial.

If you want to see how academic research is done, you should watch this video:

Now, go read his paper and discuss this in the comments!

I just sent an e-mail to Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber who does a very cool radio show called Crap from the Past on KFAI in Minneapolis and he mentioned that I was listening on the air! I also told him about my radio days at KUMM in Morris (which he seemed to think was near Winona -- can you even pick up KUMM in Winona?) which was very cool.

He has an extensive archive of every CFTP show he's done since 1992 on his Web site. The show I'm listening to now should be available as a podcast on his site in the next day or so.

Update: I just got an e-mail reply from Ron himself:

Joey - Very cool!  I told my KUMM story on the air...

I don't have any of those three songs, but it gives me stuff to look for!

Thanks for writing!

The three songs I requested were "Little Girls" by Oingo Boingo, "Garden Party" by Marillion, and "The Animal Song" by The Europeans. I know the first two should be fairly easy to find either on CD or online, so maybe I'll reply to Ron later about those.
