(OT) Sorry, NPR…

Cidu Bill on Jan 12th 2012

…but you’re off my contributions list: you’ve basically spent the entirety of my annual dues sending me mailings asking me for additional money, and that’s not what I had in mind when I sent you my check. I signed up to be a member, not a one-man Ponzi scheme.

The Future of the Internet

Cidu Bill on Dec 28th 2010

An NPR panel discussion from 1993: generally interesting and, at least at one point, laugh-out-loud funny (with the benefit of almost two decades of hindsight)

Reliable Ways to Donate to Haiti Disaster Relief

Cidu Bill on Jan 15th 2010

A very useful NPR segment that aired Thursday.

By the way, a couple of weeks ago after I mentioned not making any money from the CIDU site, some of you sent donations. And thank you for that, though of course that isn’t why I’d brought it up. Just for the record, I transferred the money to a local group collecting money for Haiti, so those donations did double duty: showed you appreciate the CIDU site, and (hopefully) will help some of the earthquake victims.

PHCIDU

Cidu Bill on Jun 9th 2009

I’m a big fan of National Public Radio, and I enjoy almost everything they have to offer — and then Prairie Home Companion comes on the air, and it’s like a black hole.
