Heightening awareness of design-driven objects.

Zeppelin. iPod. Art. HD radio.

Less about breaking news and more about affirmation: The Zeppelin iPod dock from Bowers and Wilkins not only looks good from across the room and CU, but the music is consistent with the manufacturer’s reputable sound.

First seen almost a year ago but did not mess with it until killing time in an Apple store last week. If you like modern, minimal, music, and have an iPod, this is worth a peek. It will set you back $600 USA but you get design, music, and art.
What’s HD radio?

HD Radio
Speaking of music, do you know what HD radio is? A confusing marketing ploy, it does not stand for “high definition” music or hybrid-digital — HD radio combines analog and digital signals to provide a higher quality broadcast. In Chicago alone there are 23 additional HD FM stations you could tune to. Some people pay $13/mo for satellite radio, yet HD is free if you buy a HD radio.

There is a lot of info on the internet. I wish I knew about HD several weeks ago. We recently bought a new car and did not take the HD radio option.

HD Radio is a scam by iBiquity/HD Alliance to hijack our public airways, and the system doesn’t even work as promised:
