Oh, when PlayThing's at home where this would be, I have it plugged in at all times.

I have use it extensively for radio listening (and alarming during weekdays).

And now I'm fidgetting with Lastfm.

Yup. PlayThing's indispensible now. I'm thinking the next purchase would be a backup battery and an extra charger that I'd keep at work. Since the wireless network is heavily monitored and passworded up the whazzu, I'd use PlayThing as a picture frame and just run stored podcasts or music behind it.

That's why I would like lotsa lotsa pretty background images and like this thread. Learned about the new statusbar clock and the half-n-half volume/dimmer applet. And seen some neato pictures, too.
