I’ve been following along at Hal McGee’s “Dictaphonia” blog, as he chronicles the work involved with putting together a microcassette compilation. According to an e-mail I received today, he’s pleased as punch to report that the first volume has been filled in under a month’s time! I don’t know what order the final release might take, but these are the submissions he’s mentioned at Dictaphonia thus far:
