especially if it’s me talking about it.

LISTEN!! (you’ll need real player, which is sort of stupid.)

i love robin young’s perfect soothing radio voice, especially compared to my hyperfast rampage. also, if you know how to make this non-real player, then let me know.

i’m going to be on NPR tuesday (today) on here and now (unfortunately not the luther vandross song) talking about nuclear engineering (thanks zach!)

chances are, i won’t be broadcast in your area, but i’ll try to post the recording on my blog. right now i’m doing some serious studying on nuclear, but i’ll be happy as long as i don’t say nucular.

the only thing relating these two topics is that i have two stories about both from public radio.

1. a “management guru” from london talks about the U.S. presidency.

But, dare I say it, you have a small problem. The founding fathers have required you to elect a President who has to be both head of state and prime minister, the chairman and the chief executive. They are very different roles.

i think it’s clear that obama and clinton’s strengths are very different, and each seem to fill one of these roles better than the other. i guess the question is, what do you think the role of the president is? a chairman? or a CEO?

2. NPR says to listen to hard-to-find classical music on youtube. I’VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR MONTHS. for once, i’m ahead of the curve.

what i did sunday:

1. bought a bike (how eco-friendly) at a local bike shop owned by two awesome gay guys.
2. went grocery shopping at whole foods
3. brought my own bags to whole foods
4. listened to npr podcasts and this american life while shopping at whole foods

i didn’t recycle our microbrew beer bottles that day, but definitely did the week before.

i would say, read this one: Stuff White People Like
