Go there 
| | Dean Landsman has completed Apple's, Honey, Caution, which is unusually long for a blog post: more than 5,600 words. It's also unusually deep and thoughtful. He began writing it for Rosh Hashanah (dated 9/14), and just finished it a few days ago. Out of respect for his efforts, and to encourage you to go there, I won't post for the next two weeks. |
| | Just kidding. But today's a busy day with Web 2.0 getting started, so I'm gonna be pretty busy anyway. |
Welcome abroad
| | But it's cooler than that (literally): |
| | Our webcast originates from a cramped 12x12 cabin in Talkeetna, Alaska. It's as close to Northern Exposure's funky radio station as you can get. (Yup, there's a moose that hangs around the cabin. And an adorable monkey too.) We broadcast 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year with the help of our tireless DJs - human and otherwise. We've been on-the-air since August of 2002 and have served up well over a million individual 'listens' to independent musicians' tunes. |
| | Here's their stream, which I'm listening to right now. It's an outstanding station. If you miss KPIG's live Webcast, Whole Wheat Radio will ease your surcease. You might think of WWR as folksy or charming (it's both). I think of them as heroic. What they do is the very, very best of what radio is all about. |
| | About podcasting (now at 7,150 on Google) WWR's proprietor, Jim Kloss (who's on the air right now) writes, I haven't been this excited about the merging of audio and digital distribution since I discovered Shoutcast! |
Pulpit poisoning
| | Ever hear Kevin Spacey's impression of William Hurt? Spacey explains that Hurt speaks as if every phrase involves a great deal of strain. |
| | Similar thoughts come when I hear John Kerry give speeches. In debates and interviews, he talks like a normal human being. Or somewhere in the standard deviation, anyway. But when he's giving a speech, he ... speaks ... as if... every... word... weighs... forty-five... pounds. |
