Dear Andrew,

Your recent podcasting article for USA Today was good. Unlike Charlene Li, however, you failed to mention the potential for podcasting in education. (Charlene referrred to my own http://www.ChinesePod.com as an example of how podcasting could be used for very practical educational purposes.)

Speaking of large organizations and heavy hands, it looks like the folks over at Rocketboom have gotten crosswise with the Scientologists. The site that hosts Rocketboom’s comments, metadaddy.org, seems to be down this morning, following the airing of Friday’s satire on the wacky “religion”. There could be another explanation for this, but it looks like L Ron’s boys got to them.

Oops, never mind. Must have just been the Saturday morning dusting.
