Great shot 
Connections
| | Spent a bunch of time on the phone and Skype this morning here in Santa Barbara, being interviewed by Sundar Raman (his other blog is here) at KRUU in Fairfield, Iowa. I'll let you know when that's up. Meanwhile, Grace digs the coincidence: |
| | Of course I perked up my ears. Iowa? You don't hear too much about my state here in Brazil. But it gets weirder. Turns out the station wasn't just from Iowa, it was from the town of 10,000 (okay, technically I think the population hovers just below that) where I spent the first 18 1/2 years of my life. Yep, Ronaldo Lemos, the director of the CTS at the FGV in Rio de Janeiro just got off the phone with KRUU, "the voice of Fairfield." Of course I immediately went online and looked at their site, and now that I'm (sort of) over my small-world goosebumps I have to say: I'm impressed. Really impressed. And kind of shocked that I've gone as long as I have without knowing that something this cool existed (my own fault, I guess, for missing its mention on the CC blog, the description on this blog, on or Doc Searls' praise in the current issue of Linux Journal (can't find the link). Not forgetting, I'm sure, its moments of fame in the Ledger, the Source, or the Weekly Reader. |
| | Yep, believe it or not, KRUU in Fairfield, Iowa is on the cutting edge of free-culture radio. It's fantastic to know that the issues I came to Brazil to study -- things like free culture, access to knowledge, participatory media, and all that jazz -- are alive and well back home. Even if I was slow picking up on it. |
| | In any case, I'm feeling pretty darn proud of Fairfield at the moment. |
