WUSF

On my lunch hour today, my friend Brad Stager gave me a tour of the WUSF facilities. Brad works for the Radio Reading Service:

The WUSF Radio Reading Service improves the lives of its blind and otherwise print-impaired listeners by broadcasting readings of newspapers, magazines and special material such as shopping ads. The programming is available 24 hours a day via special receivers that are provided to qualified listeners, free of charge. The USF Radio Reading Service can also be heard on WUSF-TV’s Secondary Audio Program SAP) channel.

The WUSF Radio Reading Service broadcasts from studios located on the Tampa campus of the University of South Florida and are heard by about 5,000 listeners in West Central Florida.

The WUSF Radio Reading Service is a public service of the University of South Florida and WUSF Public Broadcasting.

Reading

I just finished Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union. This is the first book that I've read by Chabon and I was blown away by the rich description - I stopped several times to read a beautifully crafted sentence out loud to Liana.

Small Temp Sensors

One of cohorts in geography is studying urban heat islands. She distributed over a hundred of these small temp loggers throughout the city. Very cool stuff. Talking with her about this made me think of Rainbows End and Vernor Vinge's ideas about grid sensors.

Prime Rib at Publix

This was the best meal that I have ever had in a Publix deli. Prime rib with onions an au jus, collard greens, yellow rice topped with okra in tomato sauce and unsweeted ice tea.
