Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gris is evidently a skimmer.

Er, of Natter.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

How does one go about making a podcast? Or, more importantly, since I still own a Nokia made in the year of our Lord 2000, making it available to listen to on a phone?

Excellent, thanks, Jon. So, I'll assume that once it's up, people with iPhones and such can download it wherever? I've been tasked with setting in motion a podcast garden tour, so people can take self-guided tours and be able to play small segments for a given area.

No! I tried to go to google, but it kept taking me to my igoogle page, so I didn't see the logo.

The spacebar on my macbook is not being nice, and being somewhat unresponsive. I am fearful of messing up my laptop, can someone remind me of the appropriate/available method for cleaning it, and whether that would help? (Yes, I do tend to be eating food while using the computer, I am a bad bad person)

It showed up on my iGoogle page.

Instead of Google, it spelled out Topeka in Google colors.

Reading the comments makes me sad I didn't pay attention to search results. Results in "jiffies" and "microfortnights" would have been amusing.
