Winner of Time Magazine "Person of the Year" 2006 and will never get tired of that joke.
I talk about #retrocomputing a lot. I also do a lot of #gardening and occasionally make #bread and #beer. I have been a Unix #sysadmin for about 30 years but I think I'll be OK.
I live in #Melbourne, #Australia and sometimes tell jokes on stages around here. I co-host a #StarTrek podcast with @ThePingMachine

Details later when I get a chance to play with it, but yes - you can listen to the FM radio and hit record when a good song comes on, confirmed.
Update: OK, this does everything I hoped it would and more. I would not call it "high quality" but look, if you're recording to tape in this day and age you've probably either got a wall full of antique gear already or you're actually going for low-fi results.
