The Wires (Feb 8, 2010)

The Wrap: Howard Stern told his satellite radio listeners on Monday that he is considering leaving Sirius - and radio altogether -- to become a judge on "American Idol"

Sunday's Super Bowl was the most watched event in US TV history, attracting 106.5 million viewers, beating the finale of "MASH." If you remember, THAT contest ended in a tie.

NY Times: The head of News Corp. - Rupert Murdoch - and the editor of The Guardian - Alan Rusbridger - are facing off over whether newspapers should charge for content on the Web

San Jose Mercury News: With the exploding popularity of smartphones, wireless laptops, and if Steve Jobs has his way, tablet computers, it's fast becoming a wireless world. But the breakneck growth of all things wireless is threatening to cause a traffic jam of the airwaves that deliver calls, Web searches and video to those data-hungry devices. Left unchecked, that could eventually mean more dropped calls, slower service and a lot of frustrated customers

All Access: Howard Stern talks about Idol Job.

David Tanny Podcast For Morning Commnute (Feb 5, 2010)

You can listen to some of the funny songs that I found on the Internet, followed by a feature called the Demented Datebook, which is a feature full of celebrity birthdays and today in history events.

I also play some features such as Berger and Prescott from the old days of KGB and 91X, plus Police on the Scene with a Crime Prevention Lean, A Minute More, and other stuff.

I produce this show twice a week, but sometimes like this week, I have four produced for the week.

Download, burn to a CD-R, copy to an iPod or mp3 player, and listen while you commute.

For traffic, weather, and news, use other gadgets.

I have a Business Linux account on 1and1, where I can host three domains on the same space and I have up to 50 subdomains. My account was upped from 1,000 to 2,000 mailboxes like I need that many. My monthly traffic has been increased from 500GB (gigabyte) to 1TB (terabyte) a month! And my webspace has been increased from 10GB to 20GB. I pay $9.99 a month to host my website and domains there.

But it's the e-mail that I like. Though I don't need even 500 mailboxes, you can have Spamguard and Virus protection on each account so e-mail like yourname@yourdomain.com doesn't receive spam and viruses are wiped off of the e-mail before I ever see them.

"I Still Get Demented" Show Returns!

The long dormat dementia and comedy showcase of songs, sketches, and parodies is making a comeback in time for the Halloween weekend with a marathon airing exclusivelt on ifunnyradio.com.

The original run of ISGD began as a regular series in January of 2003 and ended in July of 2007, though a web-only download version was produced in August of 2007.

Now that live 365 has caved in and decided to give all of their streaming package subscribers more space, the time felt right to make the move to put the premier dementia radio show back into production.

iFunnyRadio can be heard by clicking on the link http://www.live365.com/stations/davidtanny?play
