KMAG the stream is now 21, it can buy me a beer…legally

Right before I go to bed I remembered…ACK! My stream’s anniversary. Sure it’s operating from outdated technology but I preferred to point out how it’s vindication at the durability of the products involved. Mac OS X Server 10.6.8, a Mac Mini before they got flatter and runs on an Intel processor and QuickTime Streaming Server. It may not be as “efficient” as Spotify or the others who push it through 5G. KMAG in this incarnation, I think its second, still blows away FM radio and all the newcomers. It whips both because of today, KMAG works with over 17,000 songs. That’s 17 times more than a standard Pop or Rock station will play. And finally to celebrate this milestone, ever since my friend Jeremy installed an 80 GB hard drive on its original host, an indigo iMac G3, KMAG has gone on to play over 2.8 million songs. I think it could’ve been 2.9 million by now after totally up all the outages I’ve had in the 21 years. Now with Google Fiber, feel free to listen if you wish!
