This is not mine. It is something I just ran across on the 'net.

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a web radio boombox. I’ve hollowed out a perfectly good radio and made room for a tiny motherboard and power supply that are set up to run Damn Small Linux off of a USB flash drive. There is a wireless card inside, and the box is configured to sniff out wireless networks and automatically start streaming web radio on any friendly Wi-fi network.

Hmmm...I wonder how that would work...

Does he mean it would use the wifi connections to pull streaming audio...or push audio into thier networks??

I think he means pull streaming audio from the network, like opening xmms on an mp3 stream.
