Podcasting and Old Time Radio

As I prepare for podcasting, I am reviewing old time radio shows with new ears. What makes a good radio show? How are the transitions done? How short are the items? What sound effects do they use?

Now I've found a wealth of material at Old Time Radio. 12,000 shows! From Fibbie McGee and Molly to Our Miss Brooks and Red Skelton. These require Real Player and will play in the background, while you do other things! That's 18,000 hours of listening at 30 minutes a show!!

Study questions for Pharmacy

Here is a widget that gives a new practice question every day for those studying to get into a pharmacy college. Might also be good practice for nursing students, as well.

Widgets or Digital Bling?

I have just discovered that I can add widgets to my blogs.

Here is a fun, mindless game guaranteed to support procrastination! It's called Flood It Game.

The object of the game is to flood the whole board with one color in less than 25 steps. You start from the top left corner and progress by selecting one of the colorred balls on the left. When you change y our current area color, every adjacent square with the same color also changes, that way you can flood other aras on the board.

While you are playing, I will look for more educational widgets.

I've added the "Study Bunny" to represent http://www.howtostudy.org

Click on more and feed him his carrot. Don't we all need to eat our carrots?
