Relief

I received an Air­port Express Base Sta­tion today and just got it con­fig­ured. It was near­ly a life-chang­ing expe­ri­ence. My speak­er-out jack has been bust­ed for 9 months or so, so lis­ten­ing to music on my com­put­er while doing oth­er work was near­ly impos­si­ble. But thanks to Air­Tunes and the handy 3.5mm stereo-mini jack on the base sta­tion, I’m blast­ing some Alice & Chains while cook­ing gener­ic tuna helper. I can final­ly get caught up on all the music that’s been stag­nat­ing on my hard dri­ve late­ly. What’s even bet­ter is that I’m typ­ing this in the kitchen and the music is com­ing out of my speak­ers in the liv­ing room. Wire­less music, holy shit. I can con­trol the vol­ume, play­back, etc. any­where with­in range of the base sta­tion, and be con­nect­ed to the inter­net while I do it. Tech­nol­o­gy rules. The base sta­tion even has a USB jack, so once I get a split­ter, I’ll be able to access my exter­nal hard dri­ve and print­er wire­less­ly as well. It might seem a pet­ty thing to be so excit­ed about, but it real­ly does free me to do a lot of work.

Or watch stuff on Vide­oLe­mon, what­ev­er.
