A couple sites that might help.

http://goafrica.about.com/od/peopleandculture/a/swahili.htm : Has some introductory phrases and links to some other resources.

http://swahilipod.com/ : The site looks like it just launched (Feb 2008). I found one podcast about greetings, but maybe there will be more in the future.

http://www.podcastpickle.com/cast/25618 : At least one podcast with swahili

http://www.glcom.com/hassan/index.html : Has a decent PDF file for download.

I heard a story on NPR this morning about Tasmin Little. She has released a few pieces of music for free download. Her goal is to make classical music more accessible. The quality is great.

With my kids getting older I’ve felt some increasing concern about what they can find on the internet. I’ve loved having access to the internet, but I’ve also been dismayed sometimes at the abundant availability of questionable content. I received a handout about this site at my church. I’m pleased to relay that it was simple to set up and seems effective on the surface.

There may be ways to circumvent this system. I learn what I need so I can do what I want with computers, but I’m no hacker/cracker. I tried some questionable search terms after I set it up. I was pleased to receive some blocked messages from some of the links I tried with an option to enter a password to temporarily or permanently allow access to the blocked sites. I tried searching for a K9 crack and I was happy to have the crack site I found blocked under the hacker category.

I feel a little more at ease that I at least have something on my computer at home which blocks things which could be questionable and I can log into the admin to see what’s been accessed. There does seem to be a little extra time  before a site comes up. I assume K9 is checking the rating first. I figure some time delay is worth the protection. The price is right…free.
