Rocket man

A while ago, my good friend Steve, who lives in Newport, Kentucky, (and on his blog describes himself as " an Englishman living amongst the American lumpen proletariat") very kindly gave me a Rocket FM transmitter. 

At the time I may not have been as grateful as I should have been, as my then laptop was, to be honest, useless on most things requiring some intuitiveness from the software. Suffice to say after a small amount of playing with it, it sat on a shelf, looking good, but not much real use.

I rediscovered it, however, about 4 weeks ago and with both my new laptop and the iTunes remote application via my iPod Touch, it is without doubt a completely genius piece of kit and Steve thank you very very much for that gift. 

What I am now able to do is effectively stream music from my iTunes library, via "the Rocket" to any radio in the house (88.1fm) and using the iPod and the remote application change what I'm listening to, without leaving which ever room I'm in! 

I'm as happy as Mr Happy from Happyland on the day his lottery ticket came up with the top prize and his football team won the Premier League!
