Audioblog for Sept 30, 2004
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the audioblog for September 30, 2004. I talk about using LineIn from Rogue Amoeba and what I hope is the last audioblogging setup change; I play some listener feedback and talk about “thinking outside the audioblog box”; discuss some more about Doc Searls and [...]
The Kleptones Rock
I downloaded two albums from The Kleptones today.
I saw a reference to the remix album A Night at the HipHopera which I, being a big Queen fan, could not resist. While I was at the page, I saw the link to an album I had never heard of, Yoshimi Battles the HipHop Robots. Both albums [...]
Bittorrent Feed
I need to permanently place this link somewhere prominent on the site here, but don’t forget that if you are using iPodderX or other Bittorrent aware podcast clients, you can aggregate the audioblogs from here via the Bittorrent RSS feed. If you can possibly use this feed rather than the standard, please do as it [...]
Open Source Podcast Promos
Eric Rice has a cool idea - recording open source promos for each other’s audioblogs. This was inspired by the promo Doug Kaye did for Gnomedex that Adam and I played in our audioblogs. Says Eric:
With all of us chatterboxes audioblogging, podcasting, and posting mp3s of ourselves, I thought, why not do some open-source [...]
Dan Gillmor on Podcasting
Dan Gillmor has a post about podcasting. Check out the comments below it to get a sneak preview what the next few months will be like. This is all the same stuff I’ve grown so fond of in my 5 years of ebook advocacy. The amazing part of the detraction is that a lot of [...]
RSS Feed for The Linux Show
Never let it be said that I’m not a good samaritan. Doc tells me that The Linux Show doesn’t have an RSS feed which I noted means it really isn’t podcast (TM). Well, bring the noise! They do now. I subscribed to that link and am getting all the files down via iPodderX right [...]
Definition of Podcasting
Let’s get in front of this before it gets out of hand. As I’ve said 100 times, I love Doc Searls but he’s not only trying to ascribe new acronyms to the term “podcasting”, he is using it to describe things that aren’t quite it, thereby confusing new people as they learn about it. Here’s [...]
Audioblog for Sept 28, 2004
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the audioblog for September 28, 2004. I talk about the schedule change and how I’m not doing 7 shows a week anymore; I discuss WebTalkRadio, Mitch Ratcliffe and BoardGameGeek; I play some listener feedback and we talk about how one can follow conversations that [...]
Constructive Criticism
Just a word of advice to you new podcasters getting in the game - watch the music levels. I’ve heard a number of otherwise excellent podcasts that were marred by having an intro, outro or music bed so loud that it obscured what you were saying. If you are mixing live, keep an eye on [...]
The Parade of Errors Keeps Marching Through
Phew. In my Saturday episode, talking about the Gillmor Gang, I misidentified quoted person number three. I said it was Jon Udell although I did say that I wasn’t sure and have a hard time telling several of those dudes apart. In fact, it was Mike Vizard. Several people set me straight, including Mike Dunn [...]
Message from Kelley Eskridge
Kelley Eskridge, one of my favorite writers and one of my favorite people, posted this earlier today to the Nicola Griffith mailing list:
I am doing a reading in Redmond this
Saturday evening, Oct 2.
The event is the Redmond Association of Spokenword (RASP) monthly
get-together, which is a combination of open-mic and featured reader (in

Audioblog for Sept 27, 2004
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the audioblog for September 27, 2004. First episode with the new setup, so leave me feedback on how it sounds. I play feedback from Josh, Gordon and Ken; I discuss Adam’s advice to me and the comedy of errors in the weekend blogs; I [...]
New Podcasting Setup
Today I switched my podcasting setup to more like what Adam describes here. I used the information from Hugo Schotman to get a setup where I could record my voice, all the MP3 feedbacks folk have sent me and a song in real time! Thank you Hugo for the detailed instructions. If you are on [...]
Rand Home Computer is a Hoax!
This thing folks have been blogging and forwarding around about the 1954 era Rand home computer that takes up a full wall? According to Snopes, it is a hoax!
Soundflower
From Adam Curry’s Weblog comes this post about podcast audio routing:
The quest, was to create a setup, without external boxes, whereby you can record voice, mp3 players (or any audio application for that matter) and another person via iChatAV (works with AIM on windows). The other party also has to be able to hear [...]
One More RSS Tweak
Randy left me a writeback suggesting that I use the comments field of RSS 2.0. Silly me, I didn’t know there was one! I’m going to continue to leave the HTML link to the comments (and the comment count) in the text of each item but I’m also adding this to the RSS template.
Apologies to [...]
Audioblog for Sept 26, 2004
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the audioblog for September 26, 2004. I talk about Feedster and Scott Rafer and how writing someone’s name now summons them; A-list vs Z-list bloggers; I present my first ever audio feedback which is a question on tools to use for Window based audioblogging; [...]
RSS Tweak
I adjusted my RSS format just slightly a few minutes ago. At the bottom of every story is a link to the url to go to the comment page for that item. By adding a few off-the-shelf components from Blosxom plugins, I have a comment count as well (this already existed in the HTML, [...]
Last.FM
Here’s something that never occurred to me that it would happen, but I should have thought of. Both myself and Adam Curry are in this guy’s Last.FM list as “artists” he has most frequently played. For those listeners with the Audioscrobbler plugin that listen via Winamp, you will get added to their account. There’s another [...]
One Step Beyond
I’ve taken one step towards moving totally to NetNewsWire as my aggregator. I took Shrook out of my selection bar on the bottom. I got tired of hitting it by accident and invoking it, causing the iBook to noticeably lug as it does its huge initial load resource draw. Since my main complaint with Shrook [...]
