The Seattle Times reports that these $30,000 tires that go on the big dump trucks are almost impossible to find. I should go scour some playgrounds where they’ve been turned into sandboxes I guess.]]>

Air Force One landed with three engines in Georgia, the first 747 ever to land in Tiblisi apparently. Guess they weren’t sure if it there would be too much power or something. ]]>

Radio Programs rather than just radio stations, as is the case with PenguinRadio. I’m scraping the schedules of major radio stations to determine what is on when and then making it available to those who come over to my site. It’s working pretty well, but I’ve got to find a way to do it in a more automated fashion. We’ll see how it goes. ]]>

PenguinRadio. This is what I’ve wanted to do, and said I would do as long as far back as 1999, but just never could find the right tools to make it happen. But now it is, and you can look at what programs radio stations are playing at any given time (still needs more work and other stations, but it is coming along. ]]>

Ocean research ship is doing a survey of some sort just outside of the backyard. I think they have divers on board. Maybe they are Nazi frogmen coming to get me…. just a bit paranoid I guess]]>

Podcast directory, and have gone to another level with some neat audio capturing software to grab President Bush’s radio address and turn it into a White House Podcast. Basically it scrapes a streaming media file and creates an mp3 file of the content (don’t worry–there is no copyright problems on something like this). I’ve also done it with Prime Ministers Question time in England, creating a podcast for #10 (I think the BBC will eventually get around to do this). I hope as the bandwidth will really kill me in the end.]]>

I was on the Radio this weekend. ]]>

story in the NYTimes today about Shakespeare behind bars, a program designed to teach some inmates something about the world. When they asked if anyone had some acting experience, one wrote a pretty good reply: “As for acting experience, one man had played Simon Legree in a Milwaukee prison production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” while another was in “Three Billy Goats Gruff” back in kindergarten. William White, who is halfway through a 32-year stretch for burglary, wrote on his application that for 15 years he had “acted like I didn’t have a drug problem.””]]>
