In Many Ways, the World is Becoming a Better Place NPR Content Via RSS Enclosures and Audible. NPR and Audible Team Up To Provide Customized Audio To You Through Their New Weblog-enabled Affliate Service [The Shifted Librarian] My Thoughts: The two items above ring true with hopes of mine in recent times.  But I must say, in the past two weeks, I started listening by chance, and I haven't been able to change the station. Yes, NPR has earned a preset on my radio, albeit the last FM preset I had open.  I find the news content, music coverage, and cultural insight incredibly stimulating.  I can definitely see the value in having that content available at will.  Cool! The above two items also fit nicely into a growing trend in my own life and in the culture of aggregating a myriad of heterogenous content into one place for synthesis and presentation in the format.  It follows my definition of nerdvana: "If nirvana is the state of achieving ultimate knowledge (or something like that), then nerdvana is the state of organizing all of that knowledge in a seemless, integrated way on all of your electronic devices."
