Transmit MP3 audio to an AM Radio using just your Computer Monitor

Here's one geeky piece of software that can fit into any Science Fiction movie but works today.

"Tempest for Eliza is a Program that uses your computer monitor
to send out AM radio signals. You can then hear computer
generated music in your radio."

So, you can listen to music without a sound card or even a transmitter.  

Give it a try (needs Linux).  Details on how it works is here.

stitching patterns for tux - the linux penguin soft toy

Want to show your support for Linux? Forget flags and stickers; that's not what real hackers do. Real hackers stitch and sew their own  "Tux", the mascot of Linux with  "open source" sewing patterns.
