If there were an album cover for Scripting News, this might well be it. It's a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway in Saskatchewan, and it's where I was when the podcasting orgasm started building. It might be the album cover like the picture of Big Pink was the album cover for the Band album with that name. But for now it's just a new header graphic.

Doc Searls went shopping for a new car radio and found the sales guy knew all about podcasting. That's just amazing.  

Here's a quick snow-digger's guide to ordering ice tea in the south. Do you like it with sugar? Then simply order tea. They know it's not hot because you didn't say "hot tea." If you don't like it with sugar, then order "unsweet tea" not "unsweetened tea." Anyway, the ubiquity of ice tea is one of my favorite things about the south. That and there's no snow. Whew.

An update on the iPod that was lost and then found. It won't take a charge. Plug it in, no light. I've tried every socket in sight. No joy. 

This morning I'm trying to figure out why the ads on audio.weblogs.com are public service ads. I don't think there's anything wrong with the code I'm using, and I've looked over the prefs on the Google Adsense site, and it's probably the obvious thing -- no one has bought any of the keywords associated with the site. It gets pretty good flow, about 10K hits per day. Seems there should be some ads showing up there? Hmmm.
