Bravo! May I also suggest eMusic.com, where you can find thousands of classic older pieces as well as new recordings by artists smart enough to control their own creations.
Links to Tens of Thousands of Legal Music Downloads. You don't need to worry about getting sued by the Recording Industry Assocation of America or arrested by the FBI if you download legal music. Many independent and unsigned musicians offer downloads of their music in hopes of attracting more fans. Here's some music from my friends The Divine Maggees, Oliver Brown and Rick Walker's Loop.pooL. If everyone started downloading legal music instead of violating copyright with the file sharing programs, we would make short work of the RIAA, because people would start buying CDs directly from the artists and seeing their shows instead of enriching the major labels by buying CDs from the bands the labels have chosen for us to listen to. The RIAA would also have no cause to complain - these music downloads do not infringe copyright because the artists give you permission to download them. [kuro5hin.org]

If You Know A Teacher, Pass This Along to Him or Her. Global Virtual Classroom -- A while ago, I mentioned a project I was getting involved in. It's the Global Virtual Classroom project of Give Something Back International. It's a program that is aimed at providing opportunities for cross-border, cross-cultural collaboration and communication between primary and secondary school students. The cornerstone of the initial launch is a website design contest in which teams of three schools from three different countries will work on web projects from October through February. In another month or so, we'll be launching the second piece of the project, a Clubhouse that will allow for similar projects, but without the restrictions or structure of a contest.
We are particularly interested in drumming up participation from outside the US (we expect plenty from these shores, and need at least twice as many non-US schools to form the contest teams without duplication of country in a team). So I am calling upon my international readers to please consider passing information about the Global Virtual Classroom to teachers and schools in your part of the world.
And fellow bloggers...since we're trying to get the word out widely, a link would be appreciated. It would be very cool to see the Global Virtual Classroom make it into Technorati's top stories. [Frank Patrick's Focused Performance Blog]

BTW: if you want to search your RSS archives in Radio use Mark's "Radio Kit." He also has a tool for trackback (which UserLand has already added), search weblog (for the desktop), a browser-based outline editor, and a way to change the dates of Radio posts. Maybe Mark can give us an update on the status of Kit.
