time to renew our npr membership

back in november michael did a post on the XO computer we ordered for owen as part of the one laptop per child foundation. on my way to pick up owen from preschool patt morrison on local npr station kpcc was interviewing nicholas negroponte, the computer's designer, at the TED conference in long beach--it caught my attention especially since we'd become interested in where in the world our donated computer went. so much so that i sat in the montessori parking lot for a few minutes-- if you scroll down to the "A Small Machine with a Big Mission" and listen to the segment, about 27 minutes in you'll hear "Cara from Riverside" call in (unfortunately you'll need a realplayer plugin) but of course i'm just wondering--do i really sound like that (and do that much umming)? surreal.
