SON ofabitch! Ignore that previous post about the HDTV tuner…if you want to see what actually makes me drool, versus just something nerdy, check out Radio Babylon. For less than $200, that’s a bad-ass embedded development system, and with Andy’s Radio Babylon code, you can turn it on near a friendly wireless network that contains iTunes shares and plug your headphones in. It picks a random iTunes share, picks a random tune and starts playing. Repeat until bored or the batteries are dead.

Amazing. I’ve been looking at gumstix for awhile, but this pushed me way over the edge. This shoots straight to the top of my birthday list of toys.
