Please excuse the multiple postings but I want to spread the word about some exciting news from the Minds Eye Information Service. For those you may not know, Minds Eye is the radio reading service that serves the St Louis Area and has been available on the Internet for quite some time. All Minds Eye programs are now being archived on the web site and can be downloaded as podcasts to your computer or to a player like the Victor Stream. I have not tried this out yet but I am told that it is easy to do and very accessible. You will need to set up a user name and pass word if you have not already done so. Goto to www.mindseyeradio.org and follow the links to the listener page. There is an application to fill out similar to the application for receiving a radio. Some questions on the form have to be filled out but most are optional. Minds Eye is also making big changes to the schedule beginning on Monday. Many new magazines and newspapers will be added to the schedule. Talkback has been dropped but is being replaced by an interview show called Ear to Ear, which will air at 7:00 PM on Thursday. The focus of the program will be on services to the blind and disabled. Daily programs like the newspapers will remain on the web site for downloading until the next day, when they will be replaced. Weekly programs will stay on the web for a week. I am not sure how long the books will remain on the web site. If you need help getting your account started, you can call Minds Eye at 314 241-3400, Ext 6444. Enjoy. John Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
