By ALEXANDRA GILL
VANCOUVER -- There's something different happening on CBC Radio One this week. It might sound ''foreign,'' but it's actually ''indigenous.''If you tune into Richardson's Roundup this afternoon, you will hear a young hip-hop collective from Vancouver, rapping about native reserves. Or perhaps you heard the world's largest steer mooing across the airwaves during Sounds Like Canada yesterday. We hope you weren't too alarmed. That was merely Big Bob, an unfortunate barnyard casualty Gracie Heavy Hand, Jasper Friendly Bear and Tom King picked up on the way to the Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival, where the hosts of Canada's favourite aboriginal comedy hour recorded this week's special episode of The Dead Dog Cafe in front of a live theatre audience.

In fact, I've been waiting for this feature to the already wonderful set available in Radio and Manila since June. [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog] I'm keen to. I think Adam missed 7.0 of Radio which had an outline based blogging tool which I played with for a while but had to abandon when UserLand took off down the web browser interface route.

[Tomalak's Realm] .< 1:41:51 AM >That microwave oven's more of a problem than UWB: FCC affirms that ultrawideband (UWB) doesn't appear to be even as much of a concern for interference as the noise from existing microwave ovens and laptops. This affirmation may pave the way for higher-powered versions of the technology, approved for limited short-range purposes earlier this year. UWB carries information in sequences of extremely short duration, wideband pulses instead of most data transmission technologies, which use continuous modulation of relatively narrow bands. [80211b News] .< 12:56:14 AM >Rob McNair-Huff confirms that he can edit Radio outlines in OmniOutliner on the Mac, through OPML; and vice versa. This is a big deal.
