ordered list

With apologies in advance to the inimitable Merlin Mann, five things I've yet to tire of, after all these years...

1. Discussions of the pros and cons of various ways to combat unwanted messaging.
2. The guitar sound in The Breeders' Cannonball.
3. To do lists.
4. The lip-smackingly-close way that Carl Kasell is miked on NPR in the mornings.  You can hear.  Every.  Syllable.  Dis.  Tinct.  Ly.
5. New devices.  You'd think I'd be over that by now.  You'd be wrong.

More soon, patient reader. This site's place in your favorites list, your My Yahoo prefs, or your fully synchronized OPML-driven info-cloud aware self-organizing attention management system is appreciated.

Do you have "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" out there? I'm not sure if it's syndicated nationally or Chicago only, but it's a quiz show where you can win Carl's voice on your answering machine. No fan should be without it.

You can hear the show webcast Saturdays and Sundays via www.wbez.org if your local station doesn't carry him.

And if you appreciate the human voice and haven't listened before, be sure to check out Word Jazz on Sunday nights at midnight, CST. Ken Nordine's voice is something else entirely.
