A few weeks ago, in those non-earthquaking days of early August, smart.fm welcomed three pretty amazing interns to its ranks. You’ll remember Sophian from last week’s Potluck List Wednesday, and if you’re active in the user forums, you probably already know Liam and Kent.
Though it pains us to see them go, Liam and Kent left earlier this week, off to their respective academic institutions. (Lucky for us, Sophian will be staying here for a while—stay tuned for more great things from him!) Anyway, we wish them both the best in their upcoming fall semesters.

Just as he was on his way out, Kent turned to me and handed me an e-mail. Yes—you read that correctly. He handed me an e-mail. No, not a printout—an actual message spelled out in electrons. I know, it sounds amazing, but he literally handed me a sequence of bits, much as a veteran quarterback masterfully laterals to the TE after faking the handoff on a 4th and Goal. Just like that…bam, it was there in front of me, on my desk. We get only the best and brightest here at smart.fm (hence the name), and certainly the supernatural ability to control the electrostatic force is qualification enough.

Today’s Special List
Woodstock!
Woodstock was three-day music festival in upstate New York that began on August 15th 1969, forty years ago today. For many, Woodstock remains one of the defining experiences of 60’s hippie counterculture with it’s emphasis on peace, love, and music.
Join smart.fm in celebrating the 40th anniversary of this momentous occasion by studying all of the great musicians who lent their voices not only to Woodstock, but to an entire generation.
