new sites

Ok the first one here looks like an interesting/ funny look at the weird news that happens every week.
http://www.newsoftheweird.com/index.html
Theres a list of murders with the middle name of wayne. Its a surprisingly long list.

The second one is for a radio show that an old college buddy told me about. called coast to coast am. He had told me a while back about some government plan to switch all radio over to digital, not to big a deal other than that unless you own a new car you need to buy a converter if you want to listen to the radio. maybe this was ment to help boost sales of satelite radio, who knows. That part is a little annoying but really not that big a deal and ive heard other sources say is probably going to happen. Its theis next part that concerns me. Supposedly they then were going to broadcast white noise on all analog frequencies, to make it impossible to use any analog radio devices. so throw out your walkis talkies. Ok theres far more important things than the walkie talkies, even though they are fun. Frist off theres the Ham Radio guys, now this could make all of there rather expensive equipment worthless. But there is another issue with that. The Ham raidos are one of the last failsafes in the case of a major national emergency. For many years now the Ham radios have been ready in the case of a total communications failure (like phones going down, not the washinton type where no one listens). Now I havent been able to find anything else to be able to substanciate this and so I am far from calling it fact, but I am curious.
oh so heres the site already.
