Celebrity Update

That sounds like a cable news segment, which isn’t good.  Anyway, three important people in the news today (it’s mostly old news, but it’s new to me).  

Maddox, the refreshing adept of invective who created “The Best Page in the Universe” got a book deal.  The man who is better than your kids got the recognition he deserves, and according to this article at CNN the preorders for his book, The Alphabet of Manliness, hit #1 on Amazon and stayed there for days, proving that Maddox really does rule.

Keeping with the letter “M,” I discovered yesterday that Dr. Michio Kaku has his own podcast.  Well, it’s his own radio show that’s made available as a podcast by WBAI, so props to them as well.  If you want to hear the man who I consider to be the heir to Carl Sagan’s mantle of making cutting edge physics accessible to those of us who can’t handle the math, here’s the link to the feed.

And speaking of podcasts, my own brother has one dating back to 1998 (Yeah, they weren’t called podcasts then, and yes he is too a celebrity ... and he can beat up your big brother) on the subject of swing dancing, brought to you by the fine folks at Yehoodi.  Get individual shows or subscribe because you know it don’t mean a thing.
