    We’re moving!

    David’s sent his resume’ off to a major Internet company and thinks he’s got a realistic chance. We’re shooting for the moon here, but “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;” Sorry what I said earlier about it being an outrage. Hope this doesn’t screw up his chances. Edited to add: Here’s the email David sent off with his resume’… And here’s mine… And so now all we do is wait for the call.

Among the instruments they played were hurdy-gurdy, a variety of recorders, and they made quite a rackett, too. The Phoenix Consort was a great group to work with and if you live in northern Illinois, they’re available to book by contacting Kim Katulka.

    On Your Radio Dial

    Woops, here’s a cool thing or three: MAJORITY REPORT RADIO, the night show on Air America with Janeane Garofalo and Sam Seder, has its own blog. They mentioned Atrios by name, but there was some confusion over whether Atrios or someone else was interviewed. More radio news – hey, WXRT has a live feed now!! I’ve been looking for this for a while – the last time I checked was a few months back. Maybe I missed it, buried as it was in the lower left corner under all the screen chaff. But they’re an AOL broadband partner, and I…
