Audio and the public domain

did you know that the Internet Archive has a bookmobile?

"In a celebration of the Public Domain, the Internet Archive's Bookmobile will be coming to a town near you, bringing with it the ability to access, download, and print one of the almost 20,000 public domain books currently available online."

(oooh, i was just able to ad that link and have it open in a new window, hopefully. i'll keep my fingers crossed.)

i'm listening to pandora right now and loving it. someone turned me onto it a few months ago. it makes me so happy to be pleasantly surprised by bands that i like coming on. i get kind of behind on voting and don't use the social networking part of it...i really enjoy what i do use. i think that is what really counts. do i think cd's are dead? no! i really enjoy giving and receiving mixed cd's from friends - i just mailed one to my sister. of course i then burn them to my computer and never use the actual cd again. so maybe their muscles are starting to atrophy. i really enjoy corresponding by snail mail too and can be a little romantic about that kind of stuff.
