Salon.com: Investing in abstinence?
This administration is like a well-run brothel, offering something for everybody. Some may listen to the secretary of state about condom use, but a call girl offers her practical advice instead.

My Colin Powell column is the Sex feature today.

My take on the Colin Powell flap
will appear on Salon.com tonight or Wednesday morning. Direct link will be posted later...

Location, Location, Location
I just heard from Jason Gouveia! The latest issue of DOJO magazine has a fun Q&A: Jason got me talking about childhood, ambition, desperation -- and dessert. Plus, a fascinating piece by Eddie Gonsalves -- unrelated to Nancy Chan but I want to recommend highly! It's about the Caribbean origins of sampling. Really worth looking into.

DOJO is available (free) around town in Toronto, Detroit, New York and... ? In Manhattan, you can pick up DOJO (Issue#2) at Vice on Lafayette, the DJ Honda store up the street, Nylon Squid and something called "the soho triple five soul location" -- I have no idea what that is, I'm quoting from memory. Somebody else's memory. Let me know if I've missed or misspelled a location.

In Manhattan: Autographed copies of "Diary" can be found at Come Again, 353 East 53rd Street between First and Second Avenues, closer to First. For store hours and other facts: (212) 308-9394

Gentle listener...
Today, I heard from Lewis W. who says he has yet to figure out how to listen online. It's easy but you need to prepare ahead of time. If you go to www.kera.org and scroll down to the Listen Live Help feature, you can download Windows Media Player for free.

I personally prefer RealOne Player because it's prettier. You can listen with either. It took me 40 minutes to download RealOne Player at www.real.com. The free version works fine for this purpose. If you want the free version, bypass the trial offer and choose the free download to your right. Happy listening! :-)
