David Selby will return to Washington, DC, where he played Abraham Lincoln in The Heavens are Hung in Black at Ford's Theatre last year, to participate in a panel discussion on Lincoln at the Smithsonian's American History Museum on Saturday, April 24. The discussion will focus on public perceptions of Abraham Lincoln, and David will present the actor's point of view.

I'll second MB on using DVDs for backup. I use an external drive with Acronis software, but you have to remember that the drive stays hooked up to the computer and, because of this, can fall victim to a power surge or virus that affects your PC, so you can still lose everything in a flash.

Also, some of the backup software will not save your files in a format that is easily accessible in a pinch. For example, if my desktop PC won't boot, I can do absolutely nothing with the Acronis backup files on the external drive on a computer at work because I don't have user rights to install the Acronis software to access the files.

DVDs, on the other hand, you can pretty much use on any machine anywhere.

Having said all of that, if you're looking for a freebie program that will automatically back up files on a schedule that you set, visit Karen's Power Tools and check out her Replicator:

There are some other useful gadgets there as well.

Here's a link to about an hour's worth of video from Visual Radio from one of David Selby's appearances last fall to promote Lincoln's Better Angel. It opens with an interview with Selby followed by a clip from his presentation on the book.

Come to find out David Selby is scheduled to be on her show 12/08/09 at 10pm, although I have yet to figure out what time zone and I didn't see any details on DS's personal site.

It was just added to his site. It's at 10:00 pm ET / 7:00 pm PT, and they plan to take calls from listeners.

I might check these out via Netflix some day just out of curiosity.

Had the same idea -- to see the interviews, but Netflix isn't carrying them at the moment.

Name of the program is Hotel Ground Zero. In case you want to catch one of the repeats, here's the link to the show page on the History Channel site with the schedule:
