Learning Spanish (or want to)? Then this new podcast might be one for you. Chilepodcast is hosted by a fiftysomething language teacher who speaks slowly and clearly–and also reads poetry and talks about his native Chile. I’m also hoping he’ll lose the reverb he uses on the poetry readings.

Okay, I have neither the time nor the know-how right now to solve the problem with Internet Explorer, so I’ve reverted to the old-look WordPress theme. Which I prefer anyway: the new-look theme was cleaner, it’s true, but to me it did not reflect the chaotic nature of life in this region–and in particular the zoo called Trinidad–where I happen make my home.

Does this sound like a cop-out? Should I make the effort and learn how to code a site properly so it works in all browsers? Anybody care to help?

But still get Firefox.

Had a note this morning from my intrepid troubleshooter in Washington DC (aka my cousin Christiana) who informs me that Internet Explorer is not playing nice with CFR. It would appear that when viewed in Internet Explorer, the contents of this site’s sidebar slide to the bottom of the page, depriving users of all the goodies which reside therein.

My apologies for forgetting that there are people out there who still use IE–will try and sort this problem out soon. In the meantime, why not take some time out from listening to music on your quadrophonic 8-track player and watching movies on your Betamax and check out Firefox?

In this episode I turn the tables on the BBC Caribbean Service’s Franka Philip, who came to interview me on Friday. Hear the inside story on one of the few World Service stations with an increasing listenership, plus a couple of tunes on the side.

Just listened to the April 16 episode of the Front Porch Podcast by “comedian, author and vigilante pundit” Baratunde, which includes an interview with the co-owner of the LT Organic Farm Restaurant and Market in Waukee, Iowa who, it turns out, is from Guyana. Of course. Where else?

Having fun with IceRocket, a search engine which allows you to search blogs. Especially like the fact that it can list results in chronological order and create RSS feeds of searches.

In which I tour the section of Port of Spain destroyed by fire on April 9, 2005 in the company of architect Mark Franco, and ponder the past, present and future of Trinidad and Tobago’s capital city.

Click here to see photos of the area both during and after the incident. Thanks to Horace Ové for the “during” photos.

The May/June 2005 edition of Caribbean Beat magazine features, among other greater things, an interview with CFR’s host, who, incidentally, is back from St. Barts with oodles of podcast-worthy material. Now only to find the time to put it all together. . . .
