Saba agrees to buy Centra.This was announced Thursday while my Weblog was off-line. The combined company evidently will go by the name of Saba, but don't be surprised if the name changes.

It's done, but now I need to filter several hundred items from my RSS subscriptions. Should be back online before Monday. I love Radio's features, but these once-a-quarter crashes are starting to annoy me. 12:23:57 PM
