Keep an Ear on Crime With Scanner 911 for iPhone

785IndyScan.com used to be a site that cataloged radio scanner frequencies for the state of Indiana.  While I still like to listen to local Police & Fire radio traffic, I’m not as into it as I once was.

Steve over at Kremer.com sent me a link to an iPhone app that he thought I would like.  You can now take your scanner with you & listen to radio traffic from all over the world!

If you are interested in a free alternative the folks at RadioReference.com have a very extensive list of on-line scanners all over the U.S.

These tools are great to have around when things are happening in your neighborhood or in the case of severe weather!

Signal to Noise

hlg_twitter_firedI realized the other day that I really was not using Twitter as mush as i used to…  I realized that following 250+ people just created to much noise & no matter how hard I tried I just could not keep up with the noise.

So, in a last ditch effort to keep my Twitter activity alive I decided it was time to thin the herd.  Reviewing all of the people I was following made me realize i just was not interested in a lot of these people.  I started un-following with abandon & managed to trim things down to a more reasonable 100.

I’m going to make it a point to keep the number I’m following on Twitter to 100.  if I want to add someone, someone has to go…

Anyone else find twitter to be unusable over a certain number of “friends”?
