I started writing something I thought might be funny, but when I read it back, it really just read snarky, which wasn't what I was going for at all. In fact, I was so disappointed in it, I actually erased it, which is something I rarely do. By the way, snarky is part of a family of words that are derived from "snout," which is why some of them (like snooty) can be loosely translated to "looking down your nose at someone." I learned that on A Way With Words, this annoying NPR podcast I listen to. Other podcasts include:
Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me
Car Talk
Princeton University Lecture Series
Talk of the Nation Science Friday
This American Life
There are others, but those are the ones I look forward to, and save for when I know I'll have time to listen to them. There's this pretty good lecture series on the Byzantine Empire, which I could point you towards.
Oh, and the reason I actually logged in was to suggest that you add a link to this blog (and Picassa) on the schreiber.tv home page. Then I realized that you had already done so, but I wanted to participate anyway.

Wow. A post. If we keep doing things like this, than the blog will become an incredibly slow chat device. Neat.
I remember growing up, my dad used to listen to Car Talk while washing the car on Saturday mornings. I have a special place in my heart for Click and Clack.
