Call this one a lazyblog, I don’t care. But I love gadgets, and holy crap, there’s finally an applicable gadget for me to talk about (other than iPhone apps, and, y’know, radios). R/S reader Patrick Baker dropped us a line today to tell us about the Radio Bookmark. It’s a USB keyring. It works like [...]
I need to apologize to Brooke Gladstone for just one moment. It’s a little more than a week late, but if you’ll excuse me: Brooke, I’m sorry about that gushy voicemail I sent. Sort of. The sentiment behind it was sincere, if strong enough to be a little embarassing. Anyway, Kerry and I are both [...]
The other day, I mentioned that I’d lost my job – or one of them anyway. I’ve hit the ground running. I can’t honestly say how many places I’ve already sent my resumé. After doing some serious hunting for local jobs today, I decided while I’m at it, I’d throw my resume at some other, [...]
More bad news from NPR today. Not all of it had to do with a certain Michigan-based industry I currently have little sympathy for – NPR itself is laying off employees and canceling more programs. “News and Notes” and “Day to Day,” as well as a large percentage of NPR West staff, are the main [...]
You’ve heard the news by now. If you’ve got any sense in you, you’ve jumped up and down a couple times with some sense of excitement or frustration. No one, it seems had it in them to stand still last night. And yes, I’m as relieved as anyone else to just know that Bob Garfield [...]
What you see above may not seem like it, but it is among the longest drives you can make. Psychologically, anyway. Were it longer, it could take more than one day – which would be preferable, as you would be able to sleep. Instead, it takes eight hours to get from Memphis to my parents’ [...]
We’ve been playing the Presidential debate drinking game. So we’re drifting, topically, and my typing ability is waning. Meanwhile, Kerry just started knitting with five needles. He passes to the man, and boom goes the dynamite. (It should be noted that this video is exactly why we are both proud to be graduates of Ball [...]
Well, not single-handedly. On his blog, Rob Paterson has at least proposed a solution. In the new world, we work with our “audience” and with our staff. In this new world, the path to economic success is not clear. If it was we would all go there. But intuitively we all know that BPP has [...]
I was cleaning out our spam comments, and noticed something kind of awesome. There only one comment flagged incorrectly. Also it shared an update on a story we posted earlier: St. Louis’ KWMU has (finally) decided to fire their general manager, Patty Wente. This is fairly old news; it looks like the decision came down [...]
Scott McDowell from WFMU sent us a link to this posting on WNYC’s jobs listings. I am not qualified. I am applying anyway. Even though I lack the 10+ years of full-time experience the job requires, and my degree is in creative writing with a poetry focus (not in music composition like they require), what [...]
