Weigh In on Important Stuff

Wow; I've been online three times in two days! This run of luck can't last, so instead of spending time looking these things up myself, I'll see if anyone else already knows.

1: I've heard that Memorex DVDs are made with the most inferior pigments that deteriorate after a year or so, disintegrating your data/media. Is this true, and if so, what is a good brand to get?

2: My RSS-and-podcast loving partner wishes he could listen to his favorite blogs instead of reading them. Is there a web-based reader-out-louder* that would do something like this? (If not, why hasn't Google jumped on this already?)

*I don't think he means an app on the computer itself. Limelet found that one for me yesterday while engaged in his favorite activity, mashing random keys.

Oh, darn ... it looks like the site has to do that, not the visitor. I've seen a couple of things like this recently but none from the receiver's end of things.

Well, that's pretty darn cool anyway! I'm signing up my blogs, boring as they are these days.

Or just this one.

They say they'll "contact me." Very mysterious...
