Bye Bye Shoutcast

I "restarted" listening to Shoutcast, the free streaming/online radio directory, since about a year ago. To be honest, the UI seems really dated but I still get to listen to a ton of free smooth jazz almost everyday so I can't complain. Today I found that many of the links have stopped working. Most feed started with something like a commercial and no music. Then I really paid attention and that dude actually told people to go to "Radionomy" instead (I had a hard time figure out the spelling though) And I also found out Shoutcast was acquired by AOL/Radionomy a few years back. I guess the "cutover" (oh yeah, I hear this word too many times these days) is finally happening. Long live Radionomy!

New TV shows

I used to watch a lot of sitcom back in the days especially Wings and Friends. I think I watched every episode multiple times. Will and Grace was from around the same time too. And the show was revived this season! I watched the first episode last night (for nostalgia) and I found it entertaining (making fun of the white house)

And this is not the only new show from this season that I watch! My (Star)Trekkie friends strongly recommended me to watch Orville, created by Seth MacFarlane (of the "Family Guy" fame) who also acted (as the captain) in the show. Before it was air-ed, most speculated it would be a parody or at least a Sci-fi comedy, which I disagree after watching the first 3 episodes. The topics are rather serious IMO. Again, I found the show entertaining, with good stories and interesting characters.

Yeah, I've got some alternatives to watching auto-racing or baseball all the time :P
