Internet Radio Station?
...yes, I'm thinking about it. I have to figure out a few things, but once I get the particulars figured out, I think I'm going to go for it!
I spoke with a veteran in the industry yesterday because as luck would have it, "I have a friend who has a friend..." you know how it goes. Well this certain veteran happens to run DopeLabs Radio which I thought was great because I got to ask him a bunch of questions about how he got started. He also runs another station which I cannot remember the name to right now... I'm hoping he will see this post and maybe put a comment up for us.
It seems like Shoutcast really is the way to go, so I'm downloading it now and going to install soon on a server at our data center (when I say our, I mean the one that my buddy and I run here). He actually does more of the physically "running" of the center, I'm more in the dev and sales area of our company.
I also thought that this MySpace profile, which I came across via a friend request from the person/bot, was very funny and entertaining. It's ok for work, but you probably can't view it anyhow, so I took a screen shot and placed it here (please take note of the comment which I placed a blue box around in the enlarged view by clicking below):

I suppose the only other thing that I really have to comment on is the fact that I have been making some major changes and large strides in my life lately. I think I sound like a fucking broken record honestly, but I guess there is something to be said for the fact that I really do keep trying. Not once have I ever stopped trying...
I've really had to put my life under the microscope again... it seems like I make these motions often. I know where I'm at in life, I know where I want to be, and I know how to get there now. It should be a great ride.

Good luck with the Internet Radio station bro. The RIAA (Recording Industry Artist Assholes) has just set up a fee structure to legally charge Internet Radio broadcasters. At a minimum, a $500 fee for non-commercial broadcasters. Check out RIAA Copyright Royalties for more info before putting yourself in a situation to get sued.
Yeah, I didn't put all of the details on the blog... there are ways around that apparently, such as sponsorship. 8^)
Hey, I want a job and linkradio. My show will be called, “things I want to say about stuff.” Or “fuckall!” I haven’t decided for sure.
Dude, I'll bet we could put together a show where we just talk smack about stuff. You down?
