  • TiVo for your radio

    I always want to listen to This American Life on NPR, but I never do. Maybe something like this is the answer? $150.00 for the basic model, via pre-ordering. Have to see if there is a service fee, too. [via E-Media Tidbits, Steve Outing]

    Oooh! Oooh! I’ve been waiting for this: A portable device that does for radio what TiVo does for television. PoGo! Products has introduced the Radio YourWay (http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/337/C1666/) portable digital AM/FM radio recorder. With it, you can record radio programming (manually, or by setting a timer) for later playback — and the ability to fast-forward past commercials or obnoxious disc-jockey chatter.

  • Transitions… crib to bed

    Yesterday afternoon, Ben took his nap in his bed instead of his crib. First time for everything. Later that evening, he started the night in his bed… but for the second night, after about an hour, he asked to be put in his crib. We’re not going to push too hard, but interesting to watch this transition. This morning, after breakfast, he climbed into the crib on his own, just to play, while I was in the other room. I didn’t know he could do that.
