Coin­ci­dence?  I THINK NOT!

It turns out that there is a site that hosts tor­rents for recent Dr. Demento shows.  I am not sure how or why I ran across it, but I thought I would recap­ture some child­hood and lis­ten to some Dr. Demento on the iPod.  I fig­ure it will last about two to three shows before I tire of it and stop.  At any rate, since it was easy to turn the HTML into XHTML, apply the right XSL, and hook it to a crontab, I now have an RSS feed of that same page.  Unfor­tu­nately, it does not work so well with pod­cast clients because they expect the tor­rent to point to a sin­gle file.  In this case, the tor­rent points to a folder that con­tains a bunch of MP3 files, each one a between-commercial segment.

All of those peo­ple try­ing to cut carbs out of their diet should instead try some turn of the cen­tury “med­i­cine.” Did peo­ple actu­ally do this?  On purpose?
