Stand back! Here it comes. You’re gonna love this one.
I can type about 50 wpm and then have to go back and correct about 25 mistakes. Not bad for an old fart who suffered from aphasia! Cindy, my beloved, can type 3 times as fast and rarely has to revise. I don’t know how she loves me as, obviously, I’m not her type. (Get it?)
Well, I ran across a friend (had to retype ‘friend’ three times) and he told me about this radio station that is just unbelievable.
Yes, it is.
SO, here’s the deal.
You log on to this station and then click on the section that says “Listen Live” where you’ll land on the page that tells you how to get set up. You should scroll down the page and install WinAmp.
The next step is to launch WinAmp and in the ‘header’ you’ll see a box titled “ShoutCast”. (This is where the real fun begins!)
I’m not going to spoil your fun by telling you anymore - other than this - I choose the selection that included older rock, and when Ted Nugent played ‘Strangehold’ my typing speed went up to about 300 wpm - but I still had to correct 50%, but who cares. Then I selected….
Now you don’t have to listen to some crappy station with commercials when you’re posting. You can even set up your own play list and listen to your favorite artists while you’re at the coffee shop, or riding on public transport wearing your earbuds, or have to find some ‘quiet’ place while your roommate(s) is raising hell while they’re becoming brain dead from playing with their Xbox for 14 hours straight, or having to hear your mom telling you to take out the trash, get your haircut, stop slouching, clean your room….
Enjoy!
By the way, all the above is free and has more cool goodies than you can shake the proverbial stick at.

Yeah, shoutcast is really awsome. I have it on my computer, and you can even make your own radio station with it and cast your song to other people to listen and they can even request a song from your list!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Have you tried using Jott to blog? You just speak and it converts. They even have the ability to blog from your phone when you set up your account.
Writing Advice - No I haven’t used Jott to blog but it sounds way cool. Thanks for the tip and also for stopping by to comment.
Looks interesting, i might use this on my site as well, thanks.
