About May 3rd, 2008

Audio stream of the All Things Considered story I was in today 08:57 pm

I didn't get as much airtime as I expected; my half hour of interview was edited down to, oh, 45 seconds? I dunno. Part of that was my fault; when they asked me for suggestions of who else they should talk to, I recommended a few other people, and they DID interview those people, and hey-presto, I was just one of several voices. And they edited out the part that actually linked my quasi-amusing anecdote to how I came to actually *apply* the term 'spam' to mass posting via discussion group and email, but hey, I doubt anyone at home really cared that much. It was fun anyway.

If You Could Change One Thing About Your Metabolism, What Would It Be? 10:47 pm
Me, I think I'd like to have back the tolerance to caffeine I had when I was in college. I could drink a gallon of sweet iced tea and sleep like a baby that night. These days I have to be careful about even having a diet coke with dinner if I want to avoid insomnia.
