Chicago Tribune | Air America restored in Chicago
Well, as of 832am local time April 16th, it’s still in Chinese. I’ve got a little AM radio at work today, set very low, so that I can hear if/when they make the cutover.
Why? I don’t know. The situation is bizarrely fascinating.
I’ve been chatting most nights on IRC. There’s a simpler way to get to IRC, for those people who have no idea what Internet Relay Chat is. It happens during the Majority Report live show weeknights.
Go to http://www.undernet.org and click “webchat” from the array of buttons. Specify channel #MajorityReport. Then select a nickname, give some basic information, and connect. It takes a few seconds to load as a little javascript runs.
and wa-la!! you’re there. It’s a small group of chatters, but we have fun. Last night, dubya and his handler Cheney showed up and gave a puppet show. Sadly, they didn’t perform the “water drinking” trick.
That’s it for now… still listening to someone speaking Chinese and playing even more annoying ads than AAR’s.
