Link Round-Up: Stuff What I Dun Found

Just various things I wanted to point to:

• Tod Maffin has written a
  promising-looking essay on the future of public radio. I don’t listen
  to the radio, but he’s got some cool diagrams, so I’ll give it a read. Plus,
  he’s registered a domain for the essay, so he must be serious. I think Tod
  should run CBC radio some day–he’s more passionate about it than anybody
  I know.
• Norlinda tells a
  charming story about her grandmother’s regular disdain for her medicine:
  "She’s lived through a World War, enemy occupation of her country, near
  starvation, an abusive husband, and she still managed to raise 8 kids. We
  don’t know how her body will react without all those pills, but who’s to say
  she won’t be fine?"
• Kris proposes event
  blogging as a business model. Essentially, he’d be a special kind of documentary-maker,
  capturing the zeitgeist of a conference or convention with photos and words.
  Not a bad idea, but nonessential for conference planners, so he should do
  a good job of articulating the added value. Also, he should go register eventblogging.com.
• Apparently these are colour
  photos from World War I. I have no proof whether they’re legit or colourized,
  nor do I have time to seek proof. Nonetheless, they’re pretty remarkable,
  and remind me of the aesthetic of Un
  Long Dimanche de Fiançailles.
• The unpredictable Dave Pollard writes a post on, of all things, what
  to do if you find an injured animal. Apparently "shoot it" is
  not an option. I joke, but he fails to cover the scenario where-in an animal
  is beyond help, and you need to end its suffering.
• Via Iridescent
  Spoke, this attractive-but-gutted-by-fire heritage building in downtown
  Charlottetown sold
  for a mere $70,000. In Vancouver, that buys you a ride in the elevator of most condo buildings.
