Public Service Announcement
Tonight I ran across to of the greatest free resources on the Internet. I think that they will make a real contribution to the life of any person who takes the time to mine them.
1.) Book TV
C-Span's weekend show. On line they have archived a large amount of wonderful interviews. The best part or the "In Depth" interviews. Three hours with the who's-who in modern American intellectual life. They include Tom Wolfe, Bill Buckley, Howard Zinn, Victor Davis Hanson, and Fr. Neuhaus, etc. The only I have watched so far is Fr. Neuhaus , of course. Even though its three hours long it was never boring, much like every thing Neuhaus does. In it there is all sort of fun stuff. He considers Newton and Werner Heisenberg two of the most important men ever. Also you get too see him talk to a anti-Semite, and a Jewish caller who was mad that he didn't tell him off. You also get to see his office, where I never got a job. And he says that his home library is about 600-700 books.
2. Cocoa compilation
Took me a while to figure out how it works, and its pretty slow. It is a archive of classical music. Wonderful selection and good recordings. Every thing you ever wanted for free. Like I say, slow, but for the value it can't be beat.
