Eliminate the Crap!
When I mentioned it in our <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/he2007/">Home Entertainment Show Report</a>, I told readers that <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/he2007/051407imod/">Red Wine Audio's iMod</a> was only available to 4th Generation iPods. That was true, at the time. Now, Red Wine Audio also offers their audiophile hardware modification for the newer 5/5.5 Generation iPods. Vinnie Rossi must've been working OT. I hear he has trouble staying away from the office.

The Real Story of the Superheroes
I'd seen Dulce Pinzôn's superhero photographs before, but until I saw them at the Brooklyn Public Library's main branch today, I hadn't realized how moving they were. The exhibit includes Pinzôn's detailed costumes as well, which are surprisingly beautiful.
Clara Rockmore Plays "The Swan"
One day in 1978, I discovered an LP by a woman I'd never heard in the returns bin of the record store I worked in. In theory, my job was to pack those unsold records in boxes and send them to our one-stop for credit, but frequently I ended up buying those unloved discs.
Autism Unveiled
Anthropologist Roy Richard Grinker argues that the autism "epidemic"of autism is actually the result of doctors broadening the diagnosis to include more people—and society becoming more willing to see autism and other mental disorders.
And Then They Want It
If I had perfect memory [God, I would love to have perfect memory!] and could type faster, I'd just transcribe the whole damn thing for you. But, alas, I don't. So, here, I've simply included a couple of the sassy bits, and I'll hope that you take the time to listen to the rest. What it is? It's a Real HT Info podcast — <a href="http://realht.info/EpisodePages/EP006.html">Episode 006</a> — featuring Michael Fremer.
The Civil War in Four Minutes
"Perhaps blogworthy," writes John Marks. Indeed.
A Dream Lay Dying
Bill Maxwell always wanted to teach journalism at a historically black college, but after only two years, he quit, disillusioned. Judging from the comments of many of my professor friends, his story wouldn't have been all that different at any land grant university, either.
Thank God!
I'm not alone. As <A HERF="http://www.bookslut.com/blog/archives/2007_05.php#011150"><I>Blog of a Bookslut</I></A>'s Jessa Crispen says, "Another book they'll have to put me in a Clockwork Orange chair to get me to read: <I>Falling Man</I> by Don DeLillo. Thank you, <I>Guardian</I>, for justifying my judgmental reaction."
