ESP. . . . N

The weirdest thing happened to me tonight. I was minding my own business doing some work on my computer when I decided to check my email. That's all I did, I opened a new window and clicked on the email link in my favorites. All of a sudden, I hear this click sound--as if I was navigating a page--and ESPN radio starts coming through the computer's speakers.

I thought to myself "what is this?" I looked at my AIM buddy list because sometimes if you rollover their advertisements accidently, you end up listening to who knows what. Nope, target ad. I closed all my windows, radio still coming through loud and clear. Is this a prank? I check my task manager, the only thing running was a webpage that was open to Cisco's website. Pretty sure cisco doesn't have an ESPN news feed.

The mind boggles. . . I had to turn of the speakers so that I could focus on my work. Are you kidding? I can't focus!! Why is ESPN radio hijacking my speakers?? I must know the answer to this question. The only thing I can figure is that somehow the wireless network is picking it up and feeding it through the computer somehow. . . Nah, that doesn' t make any sense.

And so my fellow techies and information scientists, if you have any idea why sports updates are interrupting my study time, please let me know. Until then, I will distract myself with, lets see, how about some Christmas hits.
