Ira Glass Discusses ‘This American Life’ (Updated)
Washington Post
Little movies and cartoons between the stories. _______________________Podcasts: Have you found that podcasting has changed TAL? I’m incredibly grateful to the podcasts which give me access to TAL for my subway commute or running errands. I would imagine that there are lots of people like me and that TAL’s exposure has grown as a result of podcasts. But are there other ways in which the podcasting has changed the show?Ira Glass: Interestingly it’s pulled in a much younger audience. The radio audience has stayed the same size – 1. 8 million people a week – but now there’s this extra half million people and they’re much much younger than the public radio audience. Which is fantastic of course.

San Luis bispo Tribune
BARASCH HME Stephen Barasch’s San Luis bispo home illustrates the appeal of a skillfully- designed remodel. “It was a post-World War II California bungalow that we were using as a rental” he explained. “It would have been too small for us when our grown children came home to visit. ” To preserve the home’s character Barasch kept the roof forms and footprint of the original house. He completely gutted the interior and designed a 1750-square-foot addition. The remodeled structure employs what he calls a modern “villa-like” architectural theme using exposed recycled heavy timber trusses and composite roof beams that support extended roof overhangs.

and I set to work making a “chimes simulator. “So that was the original intent of SonicMood. But it has grown into something much more. SonicMood still retains the ability to sound like chimes but many of the “Moods” I’ve made use other instruments than chimes and sound quite different. It’s become very customizable to the point that the user can define their own musical scales keys and note timings and create sounds I’d never envisioned at the start. And I added “nature sounds” (just recordings of rain birds crickets etc. that I include – but any digital audio file can be played up to 32 at once) to provide a background to it all.
Bud Werner Memorial Library is Steamboat’s living room
Steamboat Pilot
?They can?t put in enough work stations. People are standing in line to use them? Fiels said about public computers at libraries nationwide. ?The number of people with computers has grown but also to some extent it?s leveled out. ?Technology also has been used to improve libraries from an operational standpoint. The new Bud Werner Memorial Library has self check-out counters allowing patrons to bypass lines at the circulation desk to check out items or even pay fines with a credit card. And librarians can be seen trolling the aisles with electronic wands that tell them what books are missing from the shelves they pass. ?It was truly a labor of love and one truly from passion? Painter said about all the effort that went into Steamboat?s new library.

Little writing pads with our name on them and seed packets maybe hollyhocks. Kelly: They were having fun. Balloons cool music. But we had fun too. Every time somebody said “What are you doing at a Home and Garden Show?” I’d say “Because we’re everywhere you want to be: at home or in your garden or on your patio. ”Doni: You’re so quick.
