So I've been on a public radio binge tonight.

First, the live This American Life. Strange to realize I've been listening to it for five years. And stories by Ira Glass for NPR on the election and his year long coverage of two Chicago schools before that. An hour and a half version of the live show will be up in real audio next week.

Then, the late repeat of All Things Considered. They played the last piece on the NPR 100 - on the most important musical works of what will soon be the last century. It was on Stevie Wonder's Talking Book. Almost all of the stories I've heard have been excellent. When I'm less tired, I'll go through and link to some of the best. Until, then there is hours of stories to explore.

Right now I'm listening to Weekly Edition featuring some of the most requested stories of the year. Next week will be a show of new voices from NPR's diversity initiative. NPR certainly has problems, but there are still excellent things to listen to. The batteries on my walkman are dying, so I better post this and grab some recharged ones so I don't miss anything.

I had thought the original electric minds content was lost. But Abbe Don archived it including the bio I wrote in the format Justin provided. Not exactly how I would have written it, but it gives a pretty good overview of parts of my life up to 1996.
