Sqeezebox radio is new in my home


For years I have enjoyed streaming Internet music from my squeezebox audio player which is in my living room hooked up to a Bose CD/Radio system. It can stream music from Pandora, Slacker or from my home media computer over my home wireless network. Not to easy to move out to the deck, garage or front porch however.

Recently Best Buy had an ad for the Logitech Sqeezebox Radio on sale for $159 so I picked one up. Great sound from the speaker, can run on a rechargeable battery pack (not included, remote is not included either). I keep it on my nightstand, easy to read clock, cool control knobs and wireless of course. I set it to turn off after 30 minutes of play time every night. The display shows the album cover of the song playing on Pandora as a bonus. Highly recommended as a replacement for the cheap sounding clock radios that don't stream from the Internet.

Here is a chart from igoogle showing how much juice my AC was sucking from the grid yesterday.
Last night I finally opened the windows and enjoyed the fresh air. The dark green shows todays
usage, the light green to the left is yesterdays usage.
