clock … watching time, the only true currency

I choose to spend less time posting my wit and wisdom (?) here at clock. But some themes of interest remain constant.

For instance…

I had a lot to say about TimesSelect when it was introduced in September 2005. Two years later, when the wall came down, my first inkling came from this blog post. The only place I’d really bumped into the pay wall regularly was on the mobile version of the Times, which is wonderful on the iPhone, even at EDGE speeds. The Wall Street Journal will drop its pay-wall, too, in the near future, according to Rupert Murdoch, its incoming owner. Long live advertising revenue… right?! (Note to CNET News.com — stop separating your search results for news items and blogs, especially since your blog items have surged in volume in recent months.)

RadioShift and the radio SHARK 2 combine to make me consider pulling my original radio SHARK out of the drawer. When the device finally arrived in September 2004, I was disappointed by the lack of a workable, integrated guide. Just a few months later, I noted that I had abandoned the Shark because of that gap. Since I started using the iPhone’s iPod capabilities, I actually have a renewed interest. Maybe RadioShift is the answer.

More inbox cleaning to come…
