Dear all; I have a ... project

I have a wee project, and I could do with (as they say) a little help from my friends.

I am attempting to collate, curate and create a fascinating collection of the things that people (and by people I mean you lovely, lovely helpful future contributors) find interesting.

Whether you are intrigued by the internal politics of your office, enthralled by the relative merits of futons vs. tatami mats or just plain curious about the fact that hammerhead sharks get sunburn, I would like, nay, love to have your input.

I need quotations in any kind of digital audio format, clearly spoken, although mistakes are perfectly admissible, and an image to attach said quotation to. The image doesn't have to be you, but that would be nice, and I'm not going to attach any names to the images or quotes, promise.
The quote should be you talking about the thing that currently interests you most, scripted is fine, non-scripted is fine, kiswahili, icelandic and french are all fine (although please provide some form of translation) in fact anything at all is fine just so long as I can understand it.

Please, pretty please, may I suggest that should you be nice enough to comply with my weird request, quotes/images are emailed to winesandspirits@tesco.net or xander@qi.com, regular updates to this rather bizarre project will be forthcoming, but first I need some help with the raw materials.

Questions will be answered by me in the traditional manner, with a haka... and a follow up apologeticexplanatory email.


Disclaimer: I am not, repeat, not going to make a penny out of this... thank you... It's a project. Like show and tell as a kid, only with people, and interesting quotes... and the interweb.

Show and tell 2.0 perhaps?

I'm on for it. I'm ok with images - just not sure about how to record the audio-thingy...

Just found your blog. Love your style. Please do write more (and not just because I can now write off blog-reading as "work" :-).)
