I just saw a poll linked to McCain’s campaign site that I decided I had to vote in. Once I clicked through the “give us money” page to get to the main site, I found the following. Nice worldview, huh?

LibriVox attempts to do for audiobooks what Project Gutenberg has for printed ones. They take public domain works and have volunteers read them. Once the files are assembled (for example, chapters of a book, or multiple readers on a single short poem), they are placed in the public domain in turn.

A while ago, I did my first LibriVox upload, reading Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s (yes, that Bulwer-Lytton) “When Stars Are In The Quiet Skies” as part of their weekly short poem series, where they ask as many readers as possible to do each poem. I was one of 17 readers that week: you can hear the results on Archive.org.
