XM Sirius Blackberry Application

I woke this morning and saw that XM Sirius has finally released a Blackberry application!! I haven't had this capability since my Windows Mobile devices via 3rd party apps. Unfortunately, it seems that they require a Premium subscription to use this application. So far so good after only 20 minutes of use!

** I used the app extensively today and it works very well!

The app can be downloaded here.

It’s about time! XM Streaming on the Blackberry

I saw on Blackberry Cool today that there will finally be an application for Sirius/XM on the Blackberry platform that aligns with their online streaming lineup. For a couple of years they have offered a streaming application that only offered certain channels and wasn't inclusive of an XM subscription.

This will be great for the days that I forget my radio in the car or want to listen to O&A on the go! Hopefully Sirius/XM follows soon with an Android application!!

Top Netflix rentals by region

You can see which movies were most popular by zip code!

This is a great use of data from Netflix integrated with mapping of where the rentals occurred. It's interesting to see the romantic comedies being concentrated mostly in the suburbs.

Eye of Judgement

I played EOJ with my friend Jay from Alabama tonight. It's been a long time since I have played this game. Jay and I played two games and we split. He wanted the rubber match but I decided I should get some sleep ;) Jay, we'll finish the series soon!

I recommend this game for anyone that enjoys strategic games. Don't let the look of the game deceive you. If you like chess, you'll likely get into EOJ.

The have seen the game and camera combo for under $50 on sale. I think that Jay bought it for around $40! It's well worth it even for the camera alone if you are interested in video conferencing on your PS3.

Happy New Year!!!!

A great time with friends on New Years. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera out to take pictures of others but managed to get a classic picture with Justin and his tongue. I'm glad that he and Brian made it over from Farmtown!!

After a disappointing loss I find humor…

"Farve" is currently a trending topic on Twitter. They spelled Brett's name the way it sounds, ha ha ha ;) I had to find something to make light of the disappointment.

XM no longer going to be on DirecTV

This is just another nail in the coffin for Sirius/XM in my mind. Mel seems to be driving the company more and more away from every outlet possible.

I've had XM since 2001 and the only reason that I still have their service is for Opie & Anthony. My contract is up in February and I doubt I will re-up because of the new music royalty fees.

It has been sad seeing such a promising platform slowly become irrelevant. Many of my friends have already cancelled.

SonicTap to replace XM on DIRECTV in February. Discussion here: http://tinyurl.com/ydloaod
