My Mongolian chocolate

Today could probably be considered a monumental day at WILL although you wouldn’t know it by hanging around the newsroom.

The printer is still puttin’ ink to paper like a New York Times printing press at deadline. I in particular am affected by this because my cubicle is conveniently positioned such that my head is about six inches away from the buzzing bugger of a machine.

I can’t get mad at it, though, because without it there would be no news! That, and it’s just a printer.

Somehow, through all this humming and buzzing and murmuring normalcy is something quite out of the ordinary. And it’s just in the other room in the form of a large, black box! In the words of the late Hunter S., Hoho!

Either way, don’t confuse this large, cold mass of metal and lights to be just another computer. No, this happens to be a large, cold mass of metal and lights that also happens to stream radio waves over the internet. Streaming, as they call it, happens to be proliferating like the baby name “Aiden.”

Basically, radio streaming WILL online means a couple things for you and me, as avid listeners:

1) WILL will soon be easily be accessed online.
2) WILL will soon be easily be accessed online to those vacationing in Mongolia.

What a grand day it is! Knowing that I can listen to WILL even if I happen to be in Outer Mongolia (which I frequently am) is a very calming sentiment. This is just another strong step for the station as it heads into the bright future of the digital age.

So as Jack and I continue to set up this wiz-bang of a contraption, there will be only one last pressing and important question to consider:

How to stream mounds of chocolate to Outer Mongolia.

Chocolate and WILL – a winning combination right there! Peace!
