A few weeks ago, in celebration of my five year anniversary of having a show on KAOS, I did another installment in the utopia/future/space/computers program, which I first did last year during the KAOS Membership Drive. This year, my friend Gavin, formerly of Digital Crossroads, prepared a large potion of this 5 year anniversary show for mp3 format, and now you can listen to it online. This is quite a treat, because I haven't had any of my radio programs available online before. Thanks so much to Gavin!

Bah, I ran out of music near the end of the show and was feeling very frantic. Hopefully I won't get distracted by online word-play games next week and make sure I have enough music. Also, thank you to Brizbomb for performing on the show last week. He was fantastic and it was so much fun to play your favorite records.
