The Naropa Poetics Audio Archives is a project that contains over 5000 hours of recorded audio material including readings, workshops and performances.
The project comes from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, and as the name suggests there is a strong Beat Generation influence with Allen Ginsberg and Anne Walden heavily featured. See the full list of poets/speakers.
These super cool audio archives are available to listen to online or to download and keep.
Discovery Live Earth is a neat interactive website from the Discovery Channel. The main feature of the site is a virtual Earth. You can add a variety of ‘layers’ to the globe such as sea temperature or ozone layer and they are represented on the virtual Earth. The graphics are clear and well presented, you can even use your mouse to rotate the Earth to see all aspects. Along with the great visuals you can also read specific stories and find related links. It’s a fun site, check it out.
