A few years ago, the famous Nicholas Negroponte was in our area for an event, and being a fan of the book The Media Lab, I hunted him down and introduced myself. Once he found out I was in radio he started poking me in the chest and demanded that I get with developing a radio that would record in the parking lot in the car while I was at work in the office, so I could hear what I wanted when I came out to drive home that evening. That's why a press release from 3D radio caught my eye this morning. This is a new patent and software that can be adapted to multiple devices....We called company president, Caron Ellis to get her to do a short explanation...you can hear that sound clip below the press release...Check this out...
