» Morning Show

He may be a robot who has been given the responsibility of producing a local morning radio show, but Chippy is no fool.  He knows that today is the day to put the chains on his treads.  The snow is coming. No one has had the courage to tell Chippy that he won’t actually be …

Chippy knew it was time for an oil change.  He looked at the window cling on his windshield and realized that he was several months late for such a critical step in his maintenance.  His mighty robot treads carried him to Dave the Engineer’s office.  Chippy followed protocol and sounded a deafening 195db alert tone.  …

Chippy knew that his batteries were running low.  He looked high and low, his outlet sensor in high search mode.  Must find a place to plug in.  A robot he might be, but he knows enough to not lose his charge. “Chippy, get away from that!” said airman Barnes. “Chippy!  Don’t unplug that!” said airman …

That morning, Chippy’s hard drive spun and spun, bringing his servo motors to life again.  His tracks, rolling lazily down the hall, transported him to the coffee pot.  He blinked and blinked while trying to get visual focus on what his computer bank called “ITEM 001″, commonly referred to as coffee.  It was time to …

It was on this date in 1920 that radio station KDKA, Pittsburgh began broadcasting.  It was the first radio station to be commercially licensed by what would eventually become the FCC.  Westinghouse provided the broadcasting equipment, made of wood and glass (I imagine).  They began their broadcast by saying “This is KDKA, of the Westinghouse …

This Thursday was remarkably different than any other Thursday mornings, in that it was the 27th of October, and the year is 2011.  Besides the calendar feature, there aren’t too many differences from last Thursday, except: Adam was wearing a sweater vest on Thursday instead of Wednesday, which kept making him think that today was …

Ben doesn’t know it, but Adam is about to order some transition lenses.  He’s been wanting contacts for a long time, and it seems like this is the smartest way to go. Follow this developing saga as the week rolls on.

What did Adam and Ben learn this week? Nintendo is awesome.  It was on this week in the year 1985 that the NES made its North American debut.  Since then, Luigi has been largely ignored and swept under the rug of his big brother. The BBC has like 9 channels, but after seven, it’s BBC …

Adam and Ben were in rare form, just like they are every day, as they celebrated the launch of the Nintendo (R) Entertainment ™ System (c).  What an 8-bit celebration it was!  Listeners and facebook pals were kind enough to let them know their favorite games, which included Tetris, Duck Hunt, and, of course, Super …

Adam and Ben ignited a hot debate this morning regarding multivitamins, brought out by a Home.FM InstaPoll.  The question was simple: Do you take multivitamins? The answers were great.  We got some short ones (yes) and some longer ones (term papers).  Either way, taking multivitamins wins.  Congrats, everybody!
