This is my fourth year going (I Think, maybe three) to ICON (I-CON), which I didn’t go last year. This year was pretty fun, and I did cosplay for the first time this year, since I had a few minutes and bucks to make a costume. I dressed up like Mario, from Super Mario Bros. I got a lot of compliments from other guests of the convention and friends. All I need is to get a mustache, which Mary and Jen helped me out; little Chris is willing to sell me the one that used for the Pants skit for $19.99 (I think not!).
Congrats to skit performed by Jen, Sam, Sarah, Amy, Robin, Melissa, and Jeff (known as ‘Ruffles’), which won second place. The recording and audio editing were all done here at the WRAJ Internet Radio studios!
It’s true, the RIAA (Record Industry Association of America) and CRB (Copyright Royalty Board) is trying to increase the rates for streaming royalties that can force thousands of internet radio broadcasts/stations, including WRAJ Internet Radio, to shut down. As of now, the new rates are not in effect and WRAJ Internet Radio will continue to broadcast until any future notices.
The new rates are crazy, I will be paying DOUBLE the amount of royalty fees than a regular AM/FM station.

It has happened before, and it has happened again. Another flood has happened in the basement, especially the WRAJ studio area. Luckily, no equipment was damaged, and no one got hurt. The on-air broadcast stream was not affected. The cause was a drain that failed As of now, there is going to be a meeting sometime next week to avoid floods, likely action will be takin.
It’s time for another game bowling. The score sheets are posted, by clicking here.
Another Friday is here at a last, and for tonight’s hangout we are going to the diner tonight; from the demands of Jimmy and I. If anybody has a problem with that, then don’t hang out this evening.
Anyways, I have finally recieved confirmation of some panels I will be in for the IBS convention. I will be in the panel for Podcasting, and Using computers at your station/website creation. I hope to have pictures of the trip posted in the photo gallery on this site.
I am planning to go to the Apple Developers Conference in June in San Francisco. I am unsure if I want to go, but I think I will be going.
