Glimpses of Life in China

One of my favorite sources of information is National Public Radio. In May, the reporters from All Things Considered went to China to do a series and happened to be in Chengdu when the earthquake hit. The team wrote in their blog about the earthquake's aftermath which gives insight into the lives of...

I swear the BPP hasn't taken over my blog.

But if you are a fan, please call in! Update: Comments I sent into NPR and their ombudsman: I am dismayed to hear that The Bryant Park Project is being cancelled by NPR. The BPP has been a less sedate way than Morning Edition to kick off my mornings at work. I've enjoyed most of the stories that the...

Thanks NPR

Thanks to NPR, I found a new musician to love. Ben Sollee and his album Learning to Bend were featured on All Things Considered. I heard it on the way to the Outer Banks on Saturday afternoon and bought the album as soon as I got back home today. I love this song. On the air, he said that he wrote...

That cancer thing

I began reading Leroy's Sievers's "My Cancer" blog on the NPR site in the summer of 2006, during the time that my dad was going through his last round of radiation for bladder cancer (he died in late August).. I guess reading Sievers's daily musings gave me a little perspective, particularly in...

I am going to be on NPR this weekend!

Here are some black and white photos I took recently. 1. Crazy Fence, this modest 1920 white house has this incredible crazy fence, the front arches about 30 feet in the air! I guess the guy is a metal artist. It just seems out of place.But in a Fun Way! 2. Footprints in the sidewalk, they are just...

Update: Mea culpas, too many ideas, a little "Sex"

Bad, bad blogger. Bad, bad updater. What can I say, except that in addition to this blog there's the one for work, the one for the band, the one for the faded but still present obsession, and there's one they're trying to get me to contribute to but I need more hours in the day if I'm going to think...

Jack Handey's Speech to the Martians

I am a long time Jack Handey fan and first encountered his work on Michael Nesmith's Television Parts in the '80s before he became a writer on Saturday Nite Live. He's popped up a few times on NPR's Studio 360 in recent weeks reading from his new book. They have a nice tool for generating embedded...
