Accessible Evolution!

Not only are the entire works of Charles Darwin being scanned, converted to text, displayed side-by-side, and translated, they're also being made available in mp3 format for people with visual disabilities, or if you just want to listen to them on your iPod while jogging. Awesome!

Now if only they'd do the mp3's as a podcast so it'd be easier for me to download them all at once. :-P

Unfortunately, the mp3's seem to be done by a text-to-voice program, rather than a human recording, making it a bit harder for the untrained ear to understand and follow.

You kids these days! In my day, Archie and Veronica and I had to gopher our files by hand!
