WEBVTT

00:01.500 --> 00:05.980
Thanks for watching!

00:07.500 --> 00:08.000
Bye.

00:08.000 --> 00:08.500
Bye.

00:09.500 --> 00:10.500
Mmm.

00:10.500 --> 00:14.900
♪♪♪♪

00:25.500 --> 00:33.500
Adam Curry. Got a short source
code for you today. Of course
it's hectic here as always.

00:33.500 --> 00:37.300
A church has a meeting she went
to, so I got to take care of
dinner. The animals haven't

00:37.300 --> 00:41.700
been fed yet. And when I say
animals, I mean animals, right?
We've got goats and chickens

00:41.700 --> 00:51.420
and swans and ducks and horses.
Yeah, menagerie. And my mic is
still really crappy. My
question,

00:51.420 --> 00:54.860
it's somehow the software is not
able to handle something with
this microphone because

00:54.860 --> 00:58.740
it's only really the mic that
craps out. The rest works fine.
And the mic works fine on

00:58.740 --> 01:04.060
other applications. So what can
I say? Still looking for a great
interface on something

01:04.060 --> 01:09.180
to record my mp3s to if anyone
has any ideas. Really could use
it. Someone's got to make

01:09.180 --> 01:15.580
it. Let's see what's going on.
Today I met with the head
honchos at the radio station.

01:15.580 --> 01:20.220
As you know, I'm stopping for
the first of September with the
morning show. They really

01:20.220 --> 01:26.940
want me to keep me involved with
the station. And we came up with
a plan with like a talk show.

01:27.000 --> 01:30.960
format that also involves me and
my guests flying into helicopter
and continuing our

01:30.960 --> 01:35.200
conversation, which I'm excited
about because that's something
you could do for radio, you

01:35.200 --> 01:39.720
could do with television. And of
course, I'll be able to blog a
lot of that as I go along.

01:39.720 --> 01:44.840
So I'll keep you updated as that
moves. We're going to sleep on
the idea for a couple of

01:44.840 --> 01:53.320
days. Kind of freaky news about
Blair Witch Project, about the
cinematographer. Of course,

01:53.320 --> 01:59.720
now I forgot to jot down his
name. Hold on a second. He was
the cinematographer of Blair

01:59.720 --> 02:05.040
Witch Project, was filming for a
new movie, doing aerial shots
from an, I think it was

02:05.040 --> 02:12.240
a single-engine airplane. And
the plane went down. Four people
on board, three, including

02:12.240 --> 02:17.920
the pilot got out, but the guy
didn't. And he went down 70
feet, divers, they recovered

02:17.920 --> 02:22.600
him. He just never got out of
the plane. I'll get you his name
in a second. I linked to

02:22.600 --> 02:28.480
it on my web log, which forces
slow to load as I'm using this
Studio 365 live.

02:28.500 --> 02:33.380
application to record and
simultaneously pushing out all
these bits onto the internet
that

02:33.380 --> 02:40.820
no one's going to listen to. Got
a great new show from IT
conversations on my iPod through
the

02:40.820 --> 02:53.940
iPod or script. Two people I
know, one I know better, Halley
Comet. Halley Su. Known from
Halley's

02:53.940 --> 03:01.940
comment.com. I've met her at
BloggerCon, the first BloggerCon
and Joey Ito. And Halley
apparently

03:01.940 --> 03:07.940
is doing a series of shows where
she's interviewing people and
Joey is the first interview
subject.

03:07.940 --> 03:13.780
Joey I met very briefly at
BloggerCon. And the format of
the show is nice. It's kind of
like

03:13.780 --> 03:19.700
a trip down memory lane, which
is cool because I recognize a
lot of things that the Joey

03:19.700 --> 03:24.180
witnessed and went through, etc.
in the early days, really
pre-internet, well pre-web
certainly.

03:24.180 --> 03:29.140
And I'd love to hear more. I'd
love to hear more people talk
about

03:30.000 --> 03:35.160
the history. There's a couple
people I think that have some
great stories. I think it's

03:35.160 --> 03:41.320
interesting and it's fun to
listen to. Damn, this microphone
is really crapping out. This

03:41.320 --> 03:50.320
is not very good. Neil
Fredricks, that's his name. 35
years old. Single engine Cessna.

03:50.320 --> 03:57.720
So as I was listening to this
show, and I'll talk more about
the iPod or in a second,

03:57.720 --> 03:58.720
Of course.

03:58.720 --> 03:59.720
Chrissy!

03:59.720 --> 04:00.560
Shut up!

04:03.000 --> 04:05.000
Ah, hold on.

04:05.000 --> 04:07.800
Dog.

04:07.800 --> 04:15.800
Lumber dearly, but she's a
Maltese. I'm supposed to live
until about 12. She's 15 and
she's deaf and she's blind

04:15.800 --> 04:20.040
So actually me yelling at her
hat makes no sense. Come here.
Come on babe.

04:20.040 --> 04:27.480
She can, yeah, she can recognize
shape. Hello, baby. Hello, come
here. Come here. Come here. It's
okay. Yeah

04:27.480 --> 04:31.480
Shit

04:32.680 --> 04:38.280
Oh, go baby. Oh, oh you miss
your mommy. See Patricia's off
to work. It's kind of hectic
today

04:38.280 --> 04:45.000
She went to a meeting in
Rotterdam about 45 minutes drive
each way and so I'm

04:45.000 --> 04:47.800
Taking care of the

04:47.800 --> 04:55.560
Right and we all have to feed be
fed. We all need to see we got
the ducks the ponies the swans
the chickens the goats all of
them need food

04:55.560 --> 05:00.520
Okay, let's see now. Hopefully
that recorded as I walked away

05:01.320 --> 05:04.520
I'll only know after I listen
back to the recording.

05:04.500 --> 05:11.500
one. So back to Halley in doing
Joe Ito. In this particular
interview, there was a piece

05:11.500 --> 05:15.500
where he tells a story that he
told me when I met him at
Blodecon and for the 10 minutes

05:15.500 --> 05:19.500
we spoke, he told me this story.
And there's a little more to it
than he mentions in the

05:19.500 --> 05:23.860
interview, but I just want you
to listen to it. So once again
from IT Conversations, I've

05:23.860 --> 05:30.060
linked to it on my blog. It's at
itconversations.com. It's Joe
Ito being interviewed by Halley

05:30.060 --> 05:37.060
Su. The internet was eventually
going to completely change the
way that the media business
worked.

05:37.060 --> 05:44.060
Right. And that's when I shifted
years away. So in the early 90s
I moved a little bit from

05:44.060 --> 05:48.180
just traditional media and music
to computer graphics and virtual
reality. And I was working

05:48.180 --> 05:53.700
with my brother-in-law Scott
Fisher then. But when I saw this
Mac PPP and I saw packets

05:53.700 --> 05:58.820
which networks are actually
really working on a Macintosh, I
decided that this is a client

05:58.820 --> 06:04.620
to really shift and that I would
have a lot more freedom in the
internet because I had

06:04.620 --> 06:06.020
felt so much better.

06:06.000 --> 06:08.720
What do you call it?

06:08.720 --> 06:10.760
Lack of freedom in physical
media.

06:10.760 --> 06:11.760
They're constrained.

06:11.760 --> 06:15.120
And I started preaching this
conversion thing sort of in the
early 90s.

06:15.120 --> 06:20.160
I was showing the Chairman of
NHK, the Adam Curry's page where
he had these videos and

06:20.160 --> 06:21.160
stuff like that.

06:21.160 --> 06:26.560
And this is sort of back when
we, I think it was when we were
using Go for an FTP and.

06:26.560 --> 06:27.560
Okay.

06:27.560 --> 06:35.400
So the video Joey is referring
to is actually me in the circus
of the stars on ABC television,

06:35.400 --> 06:40.980
during the death defying rocket
car of death, where I was up
like 60 feet in the air in

06:40.980 --> 06:42.520
a roller coaster car.

06:42.520 --> 06:48.880
I roll down the track ends at
the bottom, which launches me
through an angry wall of fire.

06:48.880 --> 06:52.440
And then I finally land on a
bunch of mattresses and there's
Hulk Hogan to welcome.

06:52.440 --> 06:54.120
It was very bizarre.

06:54.120 --> 07:02.440
And it was a clip that we cut to
Rocket Man by Elton John for I
think that was something

07:02.440 --> 07:03.720
we broadcast on MTV.

07:03.720 --> 07:05.820
I made a quick time out of it.

07:05.820 --> 07:07.540
And I've got to tell you, I've
lost the tape.

07:07.500 --> 07:12.700
the original tape of that stunt
and I really really really loved
that video. I told Chris

07:12.700 --> 07:20.940
and I told you it's impossible.
Hold on. I told Joe you do this
and he promised that he would
send me

07:20.940 --> 07:26.380
that he would send me a link or
somewhere that I could get a
hold of that video of that quick
time

07:26.380 --> 07:28.380
that original quick time because
he says he still has it.

07:30.000 --> 07:36.600
So, Joey, if you are listening,
if you heard this, still waiting
for the video, but quick

07:36.600 --> 07:38.760
iPod or update.

07:38.760 --> 07:45.260
So I've released beta 03, which
now you don't have to do
anything, no configuration.

07:45.260 --> 07:51.040
It has four feeds currently in
there, including IT
conversations as default.

07:51.040 --> 07:52.720
You can edit that script if you
want.

07:52.720 --> 07:57.700
Just by opening it up in the
script editor, which you find in
your Apple skip folder,

07:57.700 --> 08:06.080
in your applications folder on
Mac OS X, you can add URLs to
that.

08:06.080 --> 08:09.520
But you don't have to do
anything else just to fire it up
and it'll run and create an

08:09.520 --> 08:11.680
iPod or folder on your desktop.

08:11.680 --> 08:13.080
That's why all your content is
put in.

08:13.080 --> 08:21.280
It creates a playlist for each
new channel in iTunes and puts
all the new shows or content

08:21.280 --> 08:23.080
or whatever it is in there.

08:23.080 --> 08:27.280
And then if you stick your iPod
in your dock, press though, it's
automatically updated

08:27.280 --> 08:29.280
with everything new for you in
the morning.

08:29.280 --> 08:31.280
Beautiful thing.

08:31.500 --> 08:33.500
In fact, it makes me wanna sing.

08:33.500 --> 08:34.500
To sing a lot.

08:34.500 --> 08:36.500
It's good hokey.

08:36.500 --> 08:39.500
Play something, uh...

08:39.500 --> 08:40.500
You know, kind of a habit.

08:40.500 --> 08:45.500
I don't know, uh, this is from,
uh, I think it's 1963.

08:45.500 --> 08:46.500
Foundation.

08:46.500 --> 08:50.500
What do you think of me? Bye!

08:50.500 --> 11:21.250
[ Music ]

11:22.000 --> 11:29.000
All right, foundations build me
up buttercup and well, I'm gonna
wrap it up for now.

11:29.000 --> 11:36.000
Once again, I apologize about
the quality of the microphone.
I'm gonna work on that because
this is beyond

11:36.000 --> 11:44.000
unacceptable. So gotta fix that.
So anyway, have yourself a great
day or evening depending on
where you

11:44.000 --> 11:50.000
Are. Roll credits and great show
everybody. I'll talk to you
tomorrow. Bye.
