Which blogs do you listen to?

So, physics done, got to bed 2am, had a stunning four hours' sleep, thank you very much. The annoying thing is that I'm not that tired at the moment, which means I'm really going to pay for it tomorrow. I'm actually in an unnaturally good mood today, what with the weather and all the snow making my ickle toes cold, and getting up at 6.30, and sunrise/sunset being 8.03am and 4.11pm respectively, meaning that I really am going to school and coming home in the dark.

Part of my good mood could be due to the fact that I received a late Christmas pressie this morning, which contained Ursula le Guin's Earthsea Quartet, which I've been meaning to read for about five years. So thanks to Missiedith for that :)

Blog-related now - several people, including Aquarion have been exploring audio blogging, which seems to be the latest thing. I've heard of quite a number of difficulties with using audioblogs - obviously the biggest being the lack of links, download time of the audio file, listening time (which is longer than reading time), quality of sound file (being able to understand the voice of the blogger, which is probably significantly more difficult than reading text if English is not your first language), lack of being able to quote the blog entry, lack of searchability, lack of editing facility - but not many reasons to implement it. Other than 'it's cool'.

And it is.

I think that audioing things could work, if not for blogs (too much web storage space needed for doing daily updates and keeping archives), then at least for 'writings' sections of sites - storytime! Or, to try to combine audio blogs with links, work it like the 'Scratch 'n' sniff' things they did for Children In Need five or so years ago - a read-along experience :)
