I will be on the NPR program The Works this evening as John Moe’s Blog Correspondent. (Actually, I just made that title up for myself. Feel free to put “NPR Senior Blog Correspondent” on my business cards, John.) The show airs at 8:00 pm on 94.9, KUOW. Update: RealAudio feed now available on this page.
If you heard the show and have come here looking for links to the topics we discussed, here you go:

Purple? How odd…I always picture you in a red sweatshirt, so I thought that must be your favorite color. Oh well, live and learn.
The net just gets smaller and smaller…I didn’t hear the broadcast, but I read DY (referred I think from TomatoNation) — Tron Guy’s design consultant (re: fabric paint & whatnot) is a good friend of mine. Odd to find a reasoned reference from a completely different source.
Okay, maybe that’s just odd to me. :)
Seinfeld’s song “Oh Yes, Wyoming!” (see the Seinfeld and Superman link) is a hit. The University of Wyoming athletic department is interested in playing the singalong on the scoreboard at football games this fall.
From a fellow Works guest (I’m a three-fer), you sounded great. Fun stuff. Oh, Yes, Wyoming is horribly addictive.
heh.
“Chicken-porn Gag.”
