two peas in a podcast...

Ok, topic for the Day: Podcasts.

Here are my top five:
1) LSAT logic in everyday life.....seriously, it has very little to do with the LSAT
-explores current events, the arguments on either side and the fallacies abound
2) Kyle Butler's "BrainFood"
-explores questions of banal scientific interest and serious academic pursuit. Amazing. Period.
3) Grammar Girl
-discusses basic and complex linguistic usage and style preferences. All the grammar questions you have thought about but were too afraid to ask. (prolly for fear of being berated by the likes of....oh...I dunno...AJP)
4) BBC News and World Report
-'Nough Said
5) YogAmazing
-free yoga video podcast weekly. Pretty awesome.

You can download podcasts from the people's various websites or you can just look them up on ITunes and click subscribe and they will download automatically. So you can put away your tired Ace Of Base playlist and get informed. Betta axe sumbudy.

FFAA: Akshai once had his "man purse" stolen, containing his laptop. For the first month or so afterwards he would see that his screenname was signed in, since, like all good compnerds, he has it automatically set to do so whenever he boots up. So he would badger the theif with bribes and please to return the computer. Sadly, to no avail. Really, don't bring it up, it's a touchy subje...DOUGH!!! (Said in a homer simpson voice, in honor of the awesome, but also sad, release of the long-awaited Simpson's movie. Sad b/c Matt Groening, the show's creator, has said forever that he would never make a movie unless he intended on cutting it.)

Actually when it installs it automatically selected to startup when Windows started up. I would think a real compnerd would shut that shit off for a faster startup time.

A lazy person might not change it if they weren't too annoyed by always being online and IM-ready.
