There’s a new entry up, at last, under the September archive for the England travel journal. I forgot to set the temporal displacement/flux capacitor thingy but the entry is now in it’s rightful place and time on September 20th. It covers just one day and night spent in Carlisle. The next entry after that will be the one with all the pictures of walking in Yorkshire, and that means (shudder) lots of Photoshop Elements. Fortunately, not too much fixing, futzing, and cropping, just adding frames. I’m regretting (now) using the rather tacky “photocorners” provided with Elements, and will stick to…

MAJORITY REPORT RADIO, the last live show of the day over at Air America Radio. I’m kind of glad I missed the fart machine, but I did get a kick out of “backwards day at the White House.” That’s “http://www.majorityreportradio.com/”, everyone, they don’t announce the URL of the weblog often enough. The comments for each day are the place to be just now, but someone named Dave at ISU started an IRC channel for easier chatting: For the IE users: irc://us.undernet.org/MajorityReport otherwise, in your IRC client /server us.undernet.org /j #MajorityReport Interesting note from the website provider, from today’s thread (601…

Man, this doesn’t look good. Guess I’ll quit packing for now.

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.

Google climbs on the outsourcing bandwagon – it’s sheer lunacy, I tell you.

Chicago Tribune | :NPR’s replacement of host Edwards met with wide criticism Yep, and there’re at least two online petition drives. One of them is SaveBobEdwards.com I’m still hoping it’s an extremely elaborate April Fools’ joke, but it doesn’t look that way. I wonder if my cousin Bill will make good on his threat to rescind his :NPR pledge over the issue?

Some links to watch while waiting for CBS to announce when The Amazing Race 5 will begin (rumored to be sometime after Survivor: All Stars finishes). TARflies Times Josh’s site Amander ‘n Chris’ site Television Without Pity | Amazing Race Forum Google “The Amazing Race” sorted by date Arghhh. And no, I didn’t fill out the application, which for some reason is already for TAR 6. There is much speculage on the TWOP boards about why they posted the new application before the 5th installment even airs.

I wish I’d seen this siteMedieval and Renaissance Instruments back in November when I was promoting the Renaissance Christmas concert we hosted at church with Phoenix Camerata. That was a fun concert – we’ll have them back again, but they’d like to do a springtime/courtly love type of program. 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.

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…
