From Chinese Studies to Podcasting
Dick's friend Dennis Wunderlin was wondering aloud to Dick the other day, how one gets from studying Chinese to podcasting.  "Ce suo zai na'r?" is apparently Leo's answer, or question.  Right now, that question has little place for Leo, as he is in the Temple of Heaven.  Follow Leo's journey on The Life of Leo.  Leo has also started using AudioBoo, sending audio clips about his trip from his iPhone.  Here's Leo's page on AudioBoo, or you can subscribe to his updates directly using iTunes.

The Serious Case of a Mum's Give-Away
In Episode 850, Dick recounted how his Mum gave away his beloved Altec Lansing 604 speakers and model train sets.  Matt from Akron, Ohio knows of a more serious case of a cast-off by a mum.  Leonardo da Vinci used to make sketches and notes of his discoveries and inventions on pieces of paper, and store them in a chest.  He was once commissioned to go to Florence to create a piece of artwork.  18 months later, he returned to his parents' home, only to find that all his sketches and notes had gone, used as cheap fuel by his mother for the fireplace.
