"The Thrill Is Gone" August 29, 2008

(Week 136)

This RADIOLA! has had it up to here with digital technology. Let's call it "The Carpal Tunnel Kid's Manifesto." Computers are designed and sold by hucksters, chew up way too much of our time (and data), and actually make people stupid. Phooey.

Tune in tonight at 8 PM Eastern to WHCL (or, ironically enough, stream here). This program will be on my Live365 site this weekend, Gates willing.
