    Someone just told me they saw him moving his phone back and forth by the  antenna trying to get the radio to bug-out again

                    Today's radio hacking:

                    co-worker is now pretty sure its somehow his phone interfering with the radio and said "I really thought maybe you guys were fuckin' with me.... that would be a really good prank"

                    Winter Storm Warning incoming............

                        Joe, thanks so much for that audio clip hahah!

                        Winter Storm Warning is in effect

                        I stealthily switched on the transmitter then walked away from my desk without him noticing. I sacrificed the potential humor of his commentary in order to stay undercover. I walked over about 30 feet to talk to some other co-workers. I told them what was broadcasting and right as i did, the co-worker piped up "They're saying a winter storm warning"  and the 2 guys I was talking to almost couldnt contain their laughter. I made my way back to my desk and he was searching for a different station as he said "It's like theres a devil in my radio.....they said we're gonna get 6 inches of snow near the illinois border"

                        he is now walking around telling people and trying to make sense of it. hopefully there is some more commentary to update with later

                        update:  I haven't done any more broadcasting since the winter storm warning but he keeps mentioning how cryptic and weird this whole radio thing is and how there must be some logical explanation. At the moment I believe nobody in the office is on his radar. 

                        update: "now that i want to show people it wont happen.. ... im not entirely positive that someone here isnt fuckin' with me.... im almost feeling a bit like im having psychotic episodes"

                        update: I played the theme song to the old tv show Three's Company. Something I have never watched and is obscure enough that he wouldn't expect me to know about.

                            Operation Surfin' Bird is Over. I anticipated my coworker turning the radio on pretty accurately within a few minutes time frame and already had a repeating loop of a phone operator recording  "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again, if you need help dial the operator..."   so as soon as he turned the radio on thats what he heard. Conveniently I was out at my car grabbing something so i came back to a bit of a buzz in the office with everyone but him laughing.

                            I followed up a bit later with a phone busy signal recording  to try and get him to think it was his phone again.  he was genuinely flustered and confused. then a few minutes later followed that up with modem sounds.  During the modem sounds he walked sneakily over to my desk and caught me unplugging the device and hiding it. He knew i was the culprit but still not exactly how I was doing it.  a bit later he insisted that i tell him how i did it so i broadcast a hank hill "BWAAAAH!!!" and went over to his desk to explain. He said the time i played his own band over the radio really really freaked him out and gave him the chills, so at least theres that.

                            It was fun while it lasted!

                                    My old point-and-shoot crapped out again, so I decided to get a new camera. Didn't care to spend 6 weeks shopping around, and didn't want to spend a lot of money, but knew I wanted to step up to something a little better, so I decided to pick up a vintage entry-level DSLR off ebay (Nikon D3100 circa 2010). Had it 4 hours so far, and it's been fun. Nothing cool to take pictures of here though, so here's my roommates dog.

                                    b03P1sb.jpg

                                    It's not pro-grade by a long shot, but I think it will suit my needs just fine.
