Scorn or embrace?

Can ya really coin a word, make it a major ingredient and then judge someone on it? Apparently so.

This reminds me of grant writing. Unless you know someone at the foundation who was at the meeting where they talked about what they want to see in a proposal, you are fresh outta luck unless your name is Clair Voyant.

It's also like writing a book proposal. First you tell them all the books just like yours. Then you tell them why yours is really one of those types. Then finally you plead a huge case for why your's will stand out in a crowd.

Life is mumbo-jumbo, guessing games and everybody is making it up as they go. REALLY!

Nobody knows what's gonna be hot next...so, hold onto your vision and your comments (and support from each other)and make it happen.

And though I am loathe to quote Larry the Cable Guy...

It's hard to give fair grades to so many kids. I'm glad the class got a lot smaller. It will be easier to focus on particular things.
I am glad to see some of my personal picks on the lists. And I don't see any weren't pretty good. I'll be interested to see how they all can stretch when they get to take another shot at it. Have we already seen the best that they've got, or is it just the tip of the iceberg. I'm voting for the icebergs.
Icebergs are hosty.

I'm not sure what I want to do with this experience right now.

I'll definitely keep following the Quest.

I need to really think about what I want to do now in order to use what learned.

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

You know, I've found it difficult to keep up with all of the posts and pieces over the last few weeks. I finally just had to log out and focus on regular life stuff. There's a bit of relief now in knowing that I can just sit back and enjoy the work of ten instead of trying to keep up with a thousand. I'm really interested to hear what these folks come up with! There were some great ideas, sounds, pieces, thoughts, in the first round, so it'll be fun to see what develops. As for my future radio-ness, I'm interested in exploring the whole idea of podcasting. It's a world I really didn't know existed and it seems like it might be a great vehicle for experimenting and working with audio.
Congratulations to the folks who get to move onto the next round. I'll definitely be rooting for you!

Listen to "Welcome to Kidville" http://www.publicradioquest.com/audio/user/2111 and check out "The Day My Mother's Head Exploded" on http://www.prx.org/ and listen to RadioLab out of WNYC

to those of you who made the lists, this must make you feel good, and I'm looking forward to learning who are the 10 winners and following them into round II.

My best to all -- Jan

Especially because they might have the contest again. The judge's picks would probably be more illuminating than the pubic vote.

If you were to plan to enter the contest again you (and the rest of us) would know more what they were thinking when they selected people.

Now, back to the thesis.
