No show this week

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

With my whole family down for the count with nasty illness, I’ll be spending this Wednesday evening in my primary role as Superdad/husband. We’ll plan on recording episode 68 on January 28th. Thanks for your understanding.

Guest host for tonight

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

My allergy issues have developed into a full-blown cold, so I’m going to hand off hosting duties tonight to the distinguished gentleman from Shippensburg University, Mr. Aaron Dobbs. A veteran of the show, Mr. Dobbs’ hosting prowess can be heard on episode 20. My sincerest thanks go out to him for stepping up to the [...]

Vacation, all I ever wanted

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

This week I’ll be heading to New Orleans with the Mrs. to celebrate our 5th anniversary. So no show this week. I expect to record shows over the following two weeks (the 12th and 19th), before we break again for the Thanksgiving holiday here in the states. My apologies for the erratic recording schedule of [...]

Nope, not this week either

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Internet Librarian 2008 is proving to be too jam-packed for me to be able to organize anything for this week. So unless something spur-of-the-moment takes place, no recording. Next week, we’ll plan on spending at least part of the show talking about the experience here in Monterey.

Windstorm 2008

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

So we had a visit from Windstorm 2008 in our little chunk of southern Indiana. As you can see, it took its toll. Our town is largely without power, we are on a boil water advisory and internet access where there is power is spotty at best. Thus, I’m going to cancel this week’s show and [...]

I repeat: Were you looking for a transcript?

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Remember when I told you I wasn’t going to provide you with transcripts and referred you to EveryZing? Well, thanks to the tireless efforts of David Rothman, we now have an EveryZing search tool in the right sidebar of this site. Looks like EveryZing is up to date with indexing our show, so this form [...]

Were you looking for a transcript?

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Well, sorry, I’m not about to give you one. WAY too time-consuming. But friend of the show and past participant David Rothman points you in the direction of EveryZing, a search engine for audio content. (Numerous bonus points for using Uncontrolled Vocabulary as the example!)
When the audio search engine known as Podzinger disappeared and relaunched [...]

Unvocab #53 (The abbreviated post)

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Hi everyone. I’m already out of town and will be mostly off the grid for the next few days, but I wanted to let you know that Uncontrolled Vocabulary #53, hosted by the wonderful Mary Carmen Chimato, is available for download. Here’s a direct link to the mp3.
I likely won’t get to listen to the [...]

No show this week

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Due to a death in the family, I will be out of town for the next few days. Next show is planned for the following Wednesday, the 13th, at the usual time.
