[LEMONS] 7.17.2001
I live by routines and rituals. I'm not sure why, but I compulsively do the same things over and over again. When I skip some of my little rituals, things just aren't right for me all day long. One of these is listening to KQED radio as I get ready in the mornings. Today, I heard a "perspectives" segment by a guy named James Nestor, an office worker in South Park. Nestor was talking about how he enjoys the rolling blackouts. How they can be fun, and relieve some of the tedium that bored "office drones" experience every day. This struck me because I've said the same thing several times. I look at the periodic blackouts (and we haven't had one in a while, no thanks to President Dick Cheney) as snow days. They offer a break from the normal routine, and walking through a city wihout power--or just a section of the city--can give you a fresh perspective in much the same way Critical Mass, or a snowdrift can.
Anyway, I enjoyed Nestor's commentary, but then started to wonder how people get their perspectives on KQED. Ever wondered the same thing? Here's how.
