Roland Tanglao's podcast mike.

Roland recommends the APEX 162 . Says it's "$CAN 15 at Long and McQuade for it in Vancouver, not $US 19!" and gives the description from  Amazon.com: Musical Instruments: APEX 162.:

QUOTE

Probably the most unique microphone in the line, the APEX162 is a true stereo mini condenser microphone designed specifically for use with minidisc recorders or portable dat machines. The 1/8th inch mini TRS connector is fixed directly to the microphone and mounted on a swivel base allowing the mic to be angled up to 90 degrees foreward when attached directly to a recording device. A 4.3 metre (14 foot) mini TRS extension cable is included for maximum versatility. The APEX162 requires 1.5-volt DC phantom power to operate. Ideal for event recording, Electronic News Gathering, ambience recording or for use in broadcast, the small and inconspicuous APEX162 is shipped with pop filters and a five-metre cable with TRS 1/8th inch minijack. Small and inconspicuous design makes the APEX162 ideal for use in any application where quality stereo recording is required, yet the microphone itelf needs to be virtually invisible.

Another round in the Great CSS Debate: pro, and con. [Scripting News]

Can't find the RSS feed for the "con" view -- it's LiveJournal, maybe that's not supposed to do a feed. The "pro" side is syndicated and he's offering a tutorial on CSS over the next few weeks, so I will post that separately.
