This explains all the foolish drivers

I understand the difficulty that radio commentators face when speaking extemporaneously. Errors of word usage are common, and generally forgivable.

However, there are occasions when the word that's used is exactly the opposite of the intended word.

This morning, on KYW news radio, the traffic reporter said, "Due to slippery road conditions, motorists should excise common sense while driving."

Web 2.0 explained in video

from a friend:

This video is getting mention all over the place, so you've probably seen it already. It is an attempt to explain the Web 2.0 concept.

Since it is, itself, a user-contributed video to YouTube, it is probably a fine example of Web 2.0 anyway.

live blogging

Local college radio station WXPN was featuring top artists of the year, and there were two people blogging about it as the music was broadcast.

When the station played Norah Jones, one blogger wrote:

"Mr. Shankar, may I have your daughter's hand in marriage? But, you can't play at the wedding, OK?"
