Interview Starts at 16:01
Mark: We hear that grandfather clock chime from time to time when you are in Denver. Can you tell me a little bit more about that clock?
Len: It’s actually my great-grandfather’s clock. It’s my father’s mother’s father, Col. William B. Skelton, who lived in Lewiston, Maine. It’s a seven-day chiming clock I have to wind up each Sunday. So it bongs the hour, and sometimes it makes its way onto the podcast. It keeps pretty good time. It only loses five or 10 minutes a week.

Seeing the old clock makes me want to click to hear the chimes! How about noting the minute mark in the podcast where it stars?
Posted 15 Mar 2013 at 7:59 am ¶It’s at the very end…
Posted 15 Mar 2013 at 1:06 pm ¶I love the text-to-speech in my KF HD 7-inch. Just lovely.
Posted 16 Mar 2013 at 9:23 am ¶I would probably hardly use it if not for this feature, since I have other tablets, and I find this KF, surprisingly, just a bit too heavy for reading in bed.
Interesting. I hope the next model of the Kindle Fire approaches the thin profile and weight of the iPad mini!
Posted 16 Mar 2013 at 11:26 am ¶That would be nice. And the matter can hardly stand unchallenged.
Posted 17 Mar 2013 at 6:44 am ¶Some years ago, a café in Copenhagen had a very nice idea: they took subscriptions to a big variety of magazines, and lend them to customers while they had their coffee.
Maybe there’d be legal barriers for that, dunno. If so, it would be the usual shooting-themselves in the foot by the publishers, because it’s nice free publicity.
Posted 18 Mar 2013 at 9:45 am ¶Len, thanks for agreeing to be interviewed by Mark Roberts — and thanks to Mark for both the idea and his persistence.
Mark’s questions and your willingness to share made for a very interesting podcast, adding to your persona as a friendly, humble, and engaging host.
