My advice is to stay away from the low-end RF options. The sound quality is very bad and the reception is spotty. I like the WiFi idea and have been interested in doing this for some time but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Digital Networks: PC to Stereo. A new class of device that transmits music, photo and video files from the computer to home entertainment systems may play an important role as digital music and home networks really take off. [Wired News]

Open Source meets the Open Ocean. Even the lobster fishermen get it...
Seafaring the Smart Way. The mariner's life has always been fraught with danger, especially in the treacherous North Atlantic. This will never change, but 'smart buoys' -- which contain information about sea conditions -- can buy a sailor valuable time. Michelle Delio reports from Portland, Maine. [Wired News]
Now, if only we could drop a couple of those buoys in Lake Lewisville, we'd be all set.

My new laptop has an Intel Centrino processor so wireless is built-in. It was working fine at the office. And, I could connect to several of my neighbors' networks ; ) but I couldn't connect to my own. This evening I finally realized I was falling victim to the broadcast SSID "feature" in Microsoft's Wireless Zero Configuration functionality. It turns out if you aren't broadcasting your SSID but another network is, XP will always connect to the network broadcasting the SSID no matter what you try. Here's the FAQ item on D-Link's site. As soon as I turned SSID broadcasting on, I was a-okay. My WEP encryption key will keep my front yard from turning into a cybercafe.
