Speaking of Podcasts

My library school friend C interned with the librarians at NPR. I was so jealous. Turns out, she mostly did tedious work in support of the NPR audio library. (I know you're surprised: an intern doing tedious work!)

Well, C's so-so internship doesn't override my notion that NPR's librarians are probably some of the coolest in the profession. I just learned that the NPR librarians have their own blog -- and it includes podcasts from their audio archive!

RFID

Often, techy blogs are not big on RFID technology -- mostly for privacy reasons. Here, though, WIRED offers 10 cool uses of RFID, like making sure surgical sponges aren't left inside a patient. Sure, surgeons get to use the wands for their RFID systems, but not us. :-(
