Looks like Emacs is going to be getting a much needed update at some point in the future. Who knows when the newest version will be released though? And more importantly for me, how long it will be until it’s ported to Windows? I was glad to find this link because just yesterday I was wondering what those Emacs guys were up to.
I’ve really been enjoying the stories on NPR’s Morning Edition about the NPR 100, a list of the 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century. Not only are the songs great, but the stories behind them are generally fascinating as well. It’s especially interesting to learn why the songs were so important or influential, since almost all of them just seem like classics to me, and I can’t place them in the context of their contemporaries.
