Loudlit.org - Free audio books

While on a trip to Ohio this week (by myself) I listened to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which occupied about ten of my 16 hours of drive time. The novel was very entertaining, the quality of the recording was top-notch - and best of all, it was FREE (and legal too). Like most classic literature, the text of Huck Finn is in the public domain. Loudlit.org is a non-profit effort that is working to record such texts and make them available. I ran across Loudlit via ITunes, where you can also find other educational content (such as foreign-language courses) for your commute.

Way back in ‘01

My brother recently reminded me that the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive may contain some old MHCC web pages. This link will take you to the list of pages at our old domain, morrisonhill.faithweb.com, which we abandoned in late 2001 or early 2002.

MHCC had other sites before 2001, including a Roane County Christian School site. I administered those sites, but can’t remember the addresses. Since search capability on the Wayback Machine seems to be weak, I wonder if any of you old-timers could help me remember and look. They were probably hosted by AOL and Compuserve.

P. S. Shortly after I posted the above, I stumbled across the old RCCS site. You can follow a link in it to the first MHCC site. Unfortunately, Bill Gunter’s cool woodgrain design is diluted in the archive.

Gay marriage and second-graders

Here’s a five-minute audio program from National Public Radio that shows how legalizing gay marriage empowers (and eventually forces) schools to teach second-graders to accept homosexuality - before they understand much about sexuality itself. At issue is the well-known gay fairy tale called “King and King”.
