"White water kayaking on the Spokane River at Corbin Park was chilly on Saturday, even though the sun broke through in the afternoon," posts Kerri Thoreson/OnLocation North Idaho. "Below the Post Falls dam is a favorite spot for spring kayaking."

I am, as many of you know, the happy recent recipient of an iPod Nano from Phil over at A Family Runs Through It. ... Listening to some of my collected musics on this device has been ear opening. For some, it's like rediscovering the music all over again. For example, I can now hear every click, buz, whir and whispered vocal of every Radiohead album after The Bends. ... I can hear every finger slip, scratch of bow against guitar string, and quiet distant drumbeat on Sìgur Rós' album ( ). I can hear every scratchy and endearing imperfection of the mellotron when it's used by either Porcupine Tree or Steve Hackett. In short, I think I'm hearing exactly what the artists wanted me to hear, for the first time/Toadman, Synaptic Disunion. More here
