Look for NPR, American Public Radio, and PRI programming in the iTunes Store. Lots of goodies! I like Jazz Profiles, Speaking of Faith and Selected Shorts. There is also a monthly New Yorker short story. Makes the long commutes bearable!

I commented on MLA Connections this afternoon. And once again I urge you to do so as well. But be aware that it really is not that easy to comment the first time. First you must register to comment. (Yes, yet another login/password to set up.) You get an e-mail confirmation of your registration right away. But then you have to wait to be authenticated (by a person, I guess) and notified that your account is activated. Phew! For me this took a little while since I registered over the weekend.

I didn't think to "sign" my comment with my actual name. It just displays my username for which I used my email address name for simplicity. I'll remember that next time!

From CNN: "About 7.7 million people watched the inauguration on Tuesday online at the same time, according to Akamai Technologies Inc."
http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/01/21/inauguration.online.video/
CNN's streaming video had 27 MILLION viewers over the course of Inauguration Day. So amazing!
And on another musical note, following the lead of our webmeister Allan, I became a fan on Facebook of Aretha Franklin's Inauguration Hat described as "a glimmering vision of hope."
