Just viewed a National Geographic video podcast about rehabbing orphaned and injured elephants. Surprisingly, I found it somewhat amateurish; perhaps the podcast style is more informal than their usual polished productions. Also, the “blurb” for the podcast didn’t quite match the content of the video. (young in content, and somewhat sloppily done) Here’s the link: http://c1.libsyn.com/media/733/Elephant_Rehab.mp4?nvb=20081209180332&nva=20081210180332&t=0176223d261a42c54ab59
Also listened to Stephen Colbert speaking about his new book. If you like Colbert (an aquired taste) you’ll enjoy this. Here’s the link: iTunes http://odeo.com/episodes/22058579-Stephen-Colbert-Meet-the-Author
I found this exercise difficult to accompolish during my morning shift at the YS Reference desk. It was a distracting, noisy, rainy-day storytime morning, with a fair amount of shrieking. Unfortunately, I had nowhere else to get this done, and being slightly behind in meeting my Great8 challenges, I had to trudge on. I can understand the appeal of everyone having his own personalized source of music and information flowing directly into his brain via an earphone, but it makes for a strange zombie-like populace.
