gmail invites

Saturday, October 30th, 2004

I tried this once before, but I’ll try again and see if I get better responses.
I have gmail invites to give out if anyone still needs one. Email me if you’d like one. Include first and last name, or I’ll have to make them up.

monster of all podcast feeds

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

If any of you all are crazy enough to be thinking about syndicating Dave Winer’s RSS feed of the last 100 podcasts (like me), be forewarned. Last night it pulled down 736 Mb of data to my hard drive by itself (not to mention the additional 200Mb + from my other feeds).
Wow.

Tuesday, October 26th, 2004

The podcast reviews have been moved. Their new home is The New, New Podcast Review. Please update your bookmarks/favorites. Also, if you’ve subscribed to my Atom feed, please remember to change the pointer to that feed to the new one.

Thinking about moving….

Sunday, October 24th, 2004

I don’t know how many folks are syndicating this stuff, so I really have no idea if this will effect anyone at all, but I’m thinking of moving the podcast reviews to a new blog location.

Podcast suggestion

Saturday, October 23rd, 2004

I want to find a podcast of kid’s music - preferably not freighted with copyright concerns.
I know, some of you will say I should start my own. Yeah, but … from personal experience I know I’m a sucky broadcaster.

Fred Sampson’s Radio Weblog

Saturday, October 23rd, 2004

This fellow, Fred Sampson, mentions my blog in a post. He also comments that I’m moving too slow:
“But at the rate he’s going he’ll never keep up.”
He’s right - I don’t have time to listen to the ones I like and the new ones at the same time. I also don’t want to [...]

Guerilla gadget terminates TVs

Friday, October 22nd, 2004

Future Tense has some info about TV-B-Gone.
The gizmmo is pretty interesting (I’ve seen stuff aout it in other places as well), but the interview in the audio is even more interesting - they interview the inventor, who compares TVs in restaurants to second-hand smoke.
More about TV-B-Gone at Gizmodo, Alice and Bill, Engadget, and, [...]

Dave Slusher critiques the critic

Friday, October 22nd, 2004

Wow.Dave Slusher actually spent part of his ‘cast yesterday talking about my blog. I was floored; thanks, Dave!
One of the things Dave talked about was the name “podcasting.” I was really hoping he would, and I’m really glad he did. I had a few more thoughts in response to Dave’s comments:

Dave made a point [...]
