LoneOtaku
Welcome to my site... My original versions of this site were about the coverage of Anime and Anime related goods. I still enjoy anime but decided to expand on the other things I enjoy as well. All keeping in with the definition of Otaku..
otaku - /əʊˈtɑːkuː/ - (in Japan) a young person who is obsessed with computers or particular aspects of popular culture to the detriment of their social skills.
Check back as I will post as time permits..
One of the things I like to do when working is to listen to streaming music. I have been streaming since the early days of shoutcast which is the streaming source for the venerable WinAmp music player.
Some of the streaming sites I frequent...
- Shoutcast.com
- Soma.fm
- vTuner (sourced from shoutcast.com)
- Radio.garden
Radio.garden is a recent discovery for me... more like recently shared with me. I like this site as is combines google earth with the locations of streams. By spinning the globe, you can tune in a station from many places across the earth. What makes it more enjoyable to me is that it is easier to tell approximately where the station is located. Along with the hundreds+ of streaming stations, you can hear some of the historical broadcasts of some of the stations as well as some station jingles. As a shortwave listener, the history feature brought back memories of when I was younger.
