I just saw this on Cabinet of Wonders and reminded me of the sewing spot on episode 58. Perhaps you'd find this sewing-related story interesting too: http://cabinet-of-wonders.blogspot.com/2009/07/so...

Nora – Excited that your team will be on for an hour come September. Not too excited that we'll be "almost" Sparkless until then.

Would love to give suggestions, but I'm not sure (and maybe others aren't as well) in what direction you want to go.

There is that book that just came out that is causing quite a buzz thee days. I think the author's name is Chris Anderson. The book is called "Free".

France also passed a law recently about outlawing digital piracy (something like this – not sure of the proper terminology) Paul McGuiness (of U2 fame) and others have commented positively on this.

Wonder if there's anything in the above 2 cases that might be a basis for an episode or two.

Cheers and enjoy your summer vacation!

We're really excited about the hour-long format, too. We've just started mulling over what we might like it to sound like, and we're always up for hearing what people want in a newly imagined Spark

I love your show, and I just caught up on the last several episodes as I weeded the garden. I was so excited to hear that it will be an hour show that I had to comment to let you know that I think that's a fantastic development.

Also, I know Elizabeth's mom. I work for APSEA, as she did, with students who are visually impaired, so any of the adaptive technology stories are of particular interest to me. I'm very excited about some of the technologies being developed that could potentially make thing much easier for some of my students!

Have a great summer!
