WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:15.860
On Pakistani, it's Adam Curry.

00:15.860 --> 00:43.750
[ Music ]

00:51.280 --> 01:00.480
Yeah, Christmas officially over
27th of December 2004 welcome to
your daily source code

01:00.480 --> 01:05.560
where users and developers
attempt to party together and
sometimes we actually do some
kind of awkward dance

01:05.560 --> 01:10.920
that looks a little bit like it
I guess. How you doing?

01:10.920 --> 01:20.000
I got to say I am doing
fantastic today. Everything
would be absolutely perfect. I
mean we've got

01:20.480 --> 01:26.400
Beautiful sunshine outside here
outside the cottage. It's snow
just a little bit last night

01:26.400 --> 01:31.680
So everything is blanketed and
nice little sheet of white. If
only we hadn't lost

01:32.320 --> 01:41.120
20,000 people in Asia with the
tsunamis then my day would be
absolutely perfect man does that
shit suck all what

01:42.880 --> 01:48.160
Mother earth you can't beat her
the beots will get you down
every single time

01:50.160 --> 01:58.560
And what's perhaps? Of course
it's always like that you know
if you've ever been to

01:59.680 --> 02:04.240
Junior York and you went to the
world trade towers before
September 11th

02:05.120 --> 02:08.560
Then you have the same feeling
that many many people have all
been to

02:09.760 --> 02:17.200
Sri Lanka the Maldees I've been
to Thailand did all documentary
in fact and was along the entire
coastline

02:17.760 --> 02:24.240
Where people just swept away and
what what's really quite
frightening about and I wasn't
even going to talk about this
really

02:24.240 --> 02:26.240
But what's what's a frightening
about it is

02:27.200 --> 02:35.280
It went from like a couple
hundred to a thousand to two
thousand to four thousand to six
thousand and it seems like this

02:35.280 --> 02:40.480
Just like it's so enormous that
we have and it could be 30,000
people for all I know this
morning

02:40.480 --> 02:42.480
CNN was reporting 20,000 people
dead

02:43.600 --> 02:45.600
Unbelievable

02:47.840 --> 02:51.280
This will lift up your spirits a
little bit a little bit of the

02:52.240 --> 02:57.920
University of Southern
California marching back a
cadence on the source code. Oh
my gosh. Who would have thought
it?

02:58.480 --> 03:00.480
Actually, this was sent to me by

03:00.880 --> 03:05.920
Aaron Tadas who has lots of
questions about podcasting and
of course all of the

03:06.880 --> 03:08.320
emails the links

03:08.320 --> 03:11.280
Everything but the actual MP3s
themselves to the

03:11.280 --> 03:14.240
The promos into the songs that
we play on the daily source code

03:15.040 --> 03:20.880
are all listed in the production
show notes which are posted
along with the daily source code
on

03:20.880 --> 03:22.880
www.curry.com

03:22.880 --> 03:24.400
Working on this stuff though.
I've been

03:25.120 --> 03:26.640
emailing back and forth with
Dave

03:27.360 --> 03:29.360
We've been talking on the phone

03:29.760 --> 03:33.520
Getting pretty close to actually
starting some work on on getting
a

03:34.080 --> 03:39.360
podcast production system put
together and the way we're doing
this. I'm so incredibly excited
about because

03:40.320 --> 03:44.000
Basically Dave is is programming
just for me and only for me

03:44.000 --> 03:50.400
And then from there we'll go
figure out if other people are
going to be able to use this or
not so I'm really really excited

03:51.280 --> 03:53.280
About the work that we're doing
and

03:53.840 --> 03:58.160
Yeah, just to you know getting
some stuff moving forward and
this is all pre-art January
meeting

03:58.160 --> 04:03.120
I mean we still have a whole
week before I actually we're
before we're scheduled to meet
up in Miami. So very cool

04:04.960 --> 04:07.760
So the in-laws are leaving today

04:08.320 --> 04:14.480
They were here for the past 10
days of course a major portion
of that. I was in I was in
Holland

04:15.040 --> 04:18.640
By the way the opening today I
just want to play the

04:19.600 --> 04:24.560
I'll play the the opening bit of
that because it was such a
beautiful such a beautiful

04:26.080 --> 04:29.920
Song with the power of pure
intellect sung and acoustic with
the guitar

04:29.920 --> 04:33.920
Just want to let you hear a few
words from the from the maker of
that wonderful promo

04:34.560 --> 04:38.720
Hi Adam. This is Stefan. I'm
sorry to have missed you at the
Sarasani coffee shop

04:39.280 --> 04:41.280
All right, so that's

04:41.280 --> 04:44.000
This is a source code listener
from Utrecht

04:44.880 --> 04:49.600
Who we tried to hook up at a
different coffee shop in in
Utrecht, but it just didn't work
out with

04:49.760 --> 04:52.640
Traveling to the hospital in my
mom and doing other stuff, but

04:53.360 --> 04:56.240
Oh next time I'm sure I left you
know it's just in case you were

04:56.800 --> 04:58.800
We're going to be there and

04:59.120 --> 05:03.520
And well then you would at least
know that I've been there as
well. I left you in my party boy

05:04.880 --> 05:10.880
The owner taught actually thank
me a lot for making my
compliments to you about this
place because it's the oldest
oldest coffee shop in the world

05:11.360 --> 05:14.480
Huh, maybe this is the oldest
coffee shop in the world

05:15.120 --> 05:19.680
Perhaps the oldest coffee shop
that's spelled that sells
marijuana in the world

05:19.680 --> 05:22.640
I think I've been to older
coffee shops in Iraq

05:23.200 --> 05:26.560
What did you consider part where
the and as a thank you

05:26.560 --> 05:30.480
I'd like to give you a
demonstration of what this great
quality weed here can do for
your inspiration

05:30.480 --> 05:36.320
Okay, so this is what the great
quality weed at the the oldest
coffee shop in the world can do
for your inspiration

05:38.750 --> 06:00.960
[ Music ]

06:00.960 --> 06:07.920
Actually, thank you very very
very very much. Hey Adam. This
is Garic Van Geron from the
first crack podcast

06:08.080 --> 06:10.880
Garic Van Geron dot com slash
first crack

06:11.440 --> 06:15.440
As you can hear in the
background we are roasting up
some beans for tomorrow's coffee

06:15.600 --> 06:20.000
I wanted to wish you a happy
holidays and hope you that
you've received the gift of
bandwidth

06:20.320 --> 06:22.320
This holiday season

06:22.320 --> 06:25.840
Here's a quick snippet of what
some people are saying about the
first crack podcast

06:30.560 --> 06:32.480
That's completely not about
coffee

06:32.720 --> 06:37.120
That was band-tash from first
crack episode number 14 where we
talked about his site all right

06:37.120 --> 06:39.120
Wraydard.com

06:39.120 --> 06:46.320
One last thing over at
garyconvian.com slash first
crack you can pick up your iPod
cast buttons and show the world
that you've turned your domain

06:46.880 --> 06:50.240
into a radio station in your ear
into a voice that's all and

06:51.120 --> 06:54.800
Have a great show and have a
great 2005 and we'll talk to you
guys later. Bye

06:55.360 --> 07:00.320
Excellent. Thank you, Garic.
Garic Van Geron turn your was it
turn your domain into a

07:00.400 --> 07:03.680
Radio station and your ear into
a voice. Not bad like that

07:04.400 --> 07:06.400
It seems that

07:06.400 --> 07:08.880
The living room in New York City
which is a venue

07:09.520 --> 07:14.400
That we first were introduced to
on the source code when the
lascivious bitties did their
show there and I think

07:14.960 --> 07:20.160
For daily source code listener
showed up which is I don't have
big the living room is I have a
feeling it's pretty small

07:20.160 --> 07:25.920
But I'm quite proud of anyone
showing about the lascivious
bitties show based upon my
recommendation

07:26.880 --> 07:34.320
An email from Craig Patchett
says hey Adam living room in New
York City seems to be the venue
for daily source code artists

07:34.320 --> 07:38.400
Barry Correll who we've played
on the show before will be
performing there on Thursday,
January

07:38.640 --> 07:44.800
6 and Craig of course is from
the godcast and I don't have a
lot of music queueed up for for
you today

07:44.800 --> 07:51.680
But I'm sure we've playing some
Barry in in the future right
here on the daily source code
something else that's coming
that a couple of people have
mentioned

07:52.640 --> 07:59.920
About the sample rate of the
shows that I release now. I was
pretty sure that I'm doing these
recordings on

08:00.480 --> 08:02.480
44 kilohertz sample rates

08:03.040 --> 08:09.920
Apparently the daily source code
is coming through in 24
kilohertz sample rates and a
number of

08:11.440 --> 08:16.160
Predominantly portable devices
like the palm t3 and I've heard

08:17.440 --> 08:21.200
I've heard there was some other
device maybe the trio as well
not too sure about that

08:21.840 --> 08:26.320
Only supports 22 or 44 and not
24 kilohertz

08:26.320 --> 08:28.400
So I'm gonna have to go through
my entire chain in fact

08:28.400 --> 08:32.320
I'm looking at this right now
and I hope that you saw the the
beautiful work that was done on

08:32.640 --> 08:35.600
Creating the image of of my
podcast setup

08:36.880 --> 08:38.880
And I'm looking at this right
now if I

08:39.440 --> 08:44.480
I guess I can't look at that
yet. I'm recording at 16 bit
stereo 44.1 kilohertz

08:45.120 --> 08:49.040
I don't understand how can I be
coming through it 24.1 if I'm
recording it

08:49.680 --> 08:54.720
At 44.1. Well if anyone out
there has any ideas, please let
me know because we don't want to
leave our

08:55.040 --> 08:56.800
Certainly don't want to leave
our our mobile

08:57.440 --> 08:59.440
Daily source code listeners out
in the cold

09:00.080 --> 09:04.480
By not being able to receive it
because it comes through as 24
kilohertz it could all maybe

09:05.280 --> 09:11.440
Maybe lane brain for some reason
that's what I used to post
compressed every show because I
basically recorded to AIFF

09:11.680 --> 09:17.680
And then I post compressed with
a program called lane brain hold
on let's take a look and see
what the settings of lane brain
are right now

09:17.840 --> 09:20.560
Can I do this while I'm while
I'm running

09:22.240 --> 09:24.240
Boy, it's getting real slow

09:24.640 --> 09:30.560
You know one of these days I am
going to treat myself to a brand
new computer maybe a honk in G5
or something

09:30.560 --> 09:33.840
It would just it'll only be a
podcast machine wouldn't that be
awesome

09:34.720 --> 09:38.720
Okay, I'm just going to open up
this this lane brain application
hope everything will work

09:39.440 --> 09:43.120
Work okay, and it won't start to
skip on the audio. Let me just
see what the settings are

09:44.000 --> 09:47.520
Meanwhile is anything I can play
for you

09:48.400 --> 09:54.080
oops, I'm on why don't I yeah,
well, that's loading up. We'll
play this for you

09:55.360 --> 09:57.440
Yeah, I'm it's Patrick Carney
from over at

09:57.440 --> 10:02.400
www.pjk.net. I do my own podcast
called the pjk podcast

10:02.960 --> 10:09.200
Anyway, I wanted to let you know
I just did a show on emergency
technology and it was based on
my own

10:09.680 --> 10:16.960
Emergency over Christmas Eve
where my apartment caught on
fire and had to get my daughter
out and what kind of tech did I
grab and that kind of thing

10:17.520 --> 10:21.360
And it also you know got me
thinking especially after seeing
this huge earthquake

10:22.000 --> 10:24.160
In the news and all the
devastation in

10:24.800 --> 10:27.760
Thousands and thousands of
people killed because of that

10:28.400 --> 10:33.200
Started making me think about
back up plans and things in the
event of a real emergency

10:33.200 --> 10:39.040
Whether it's natural or or man
made anyway, so I go through
some of those thoughts on my
podcast

10:39.200 --> 10:43.760
And just thought I'd point you
to it. Anyway, I hope you have a
Merry Christmas happy new year
and

10:44.880 --> 10:47.520
You know keep on podcast, man.
It sounds great. I love your
show

10:47.520 --> 10:51.360
Hey Patrick. Thank you very much
and I definitely will check that
out because man

10:52.000 --> 10:56.480
Think about what kind of an
emergency Jesus Christ if you
have your apartment caught on
fire

10:56.800 --> 11:01.760
Over the over Christmas and you
had to get your daughter out and
what kind of tech to you
actually want to say

11:02.640 --> 11:03.840
Oh shit

11:03.840 --> 11:07.440
That's the stuff nightmares are
made of my friend. I'm looking
at a

11:07.520 --> 11:10.480
Lame brain and it doesn't seem
to have any

11:12.000 --> 11:14.000
Any other preferences for

11:15.920 --> 11:18.160
For the actual recording

11:19.280 --> 11:24.160
Frequency or bit rate. I you
know, I can't find it if you
have any ideas. Let me know
please

11:25.760 --> 11:28.720
Okay, oh, yeah, by the way,
looking at today

11:29.680 --> 11:34.400
I really really need to fly. I
am just itching to fly. Here's
the deal

11:34.880 --> 11:37.760
I haven't flown for what is it
six weeks now

11:38.720 --> 11:41.680
Now, it's not true because I
flew over here with the Navajo

11:43.200 --> 11:50.000
So it's been five weeks we've
been here for five weeks. I need
to fly and I'm not even talking
about helicopters

11:50.000 --> 11:55.520
I'd love to get in a helicopter
and you know fly around for a
little bit and I'll probably
just schedule something with
someone nearby

11:55.520 --> 11:59.280
But what I'm looking for really
and if anyone out there is a
pilot and I'm sure some of you
are

11:59.920 --> 12:02.960
I'm looking for some advice for
a great instructor

12:03.120 --> 12:06.640
Someone who can help me with
fixed wing because I have my
helicopter ppl rating

12:07.760 --> 12:09.120
You know, so

12:09.120 --> 12:15.520
Basically with an FAA private
pilot's license. It's an add-on.
You have to do a minimum of I
don't know what is it?

12:16.080 --> 12:21.680
Well really in all fairness. I
should I should do at least 40
or 50 hours on fixed wing before
I can

12:22.560 --> 12:26.880
Really do the test although I'm
sure that with 10 or 20 hours
I'll be able to pass the test of
course

12:26.880 --> 12:29.440
I won't know what you know shit
about flying airplanes really

12:30.400 --> 12:33.440
So I'm looking for someone who
can help me get the FAA

12:34.160 --> 12:36.160
PPL add-on to my license

12:36.160 --> 12:41.520
I'm right near black bush. I'm
not too far from farm borough.
If anyone has any ideas

12:42.320 --> 12:44.320
Just you know someone who can do

12:45.360 --> 12:49.120
Instruction on either regular
basis or maybe will do four days
in a row

12:50.000 --> 12:54.320
And I'm looking for at least the
Cessna 172 152 is a little bit
too small for me

12:54.320 --> 12:59.040
So 172 I just need to get this
done and just I need to fly
because it's such a you could

12:59.040 --> 13:03.040
The airplanes go over or close
by our house all the time and
every single time

13:03.040 --> 13:07.440
I'm like oh yeah, I need to fly.
I need to fly. I really really
need to fly somewhere around

13:07.680 --> 13:11.840
Second week of January. I want
to get started on this so if
you're if you have any ideas

13:13.040 --> 13:17.120
Any thoughts of great
instructors because that's what
it comes down to it's not really
the flight school

13:17.520 --> 13:21.360
Although I know there's a flight
school of black bush airport
which does FAA ratings

13:21.360 --> 13:25.280
I just need to fly. I need to
learn to fly. I can get my
license and in Florida

13:25.440 --> 13:31.280
I need someone to teach me how
to fly. Please teach me how to
fly and as I was

13:33.040 --> 13:38.720
Sitting on that humongous fat
pipe in in Utrecht while I was
with my mom who was doing
excellent by the way

13:38.720 --> 13:46.320
She's she's walking she walked
down to the Christmas tree the
other day and I think either
tomorrow or the day after

13:46.320 --> 13:54.240
We hear about you know when she
potentially can actually leave
the hospital and we're very
excited about that because
things are going so incredibly
well

13:55.440 --> 13:58.640
So I was sitting on that big fat
pipe and there were a couple of
audible

14:00.320 --> 14:03.840
Audio books that I had
downloaded previously and then I
or that I hadn't

14:04.320 --> 14:08.000
Downloaded that I needed to
download because I really wanted
to listen to it and I had to had

14:08.400 --> 14:13.760
Downloaded George Carlin's brain
droppings previously, but I
guess I'd wipe that off my drive
and then the great thing about

14:13.760 --> 14:20.000
Autable.com is that you had this
entire library so you can just
read download anything you've
already purchased previously

14:20.480 --> 14:25.200
And I wanted to play this lovely
bit. It's it's probably a couple
minutes long about three or four
minutes

14:25.920 --> 14:32.320
The George car and in this man
needs to podcast and he would be
the perfect

14:33.120 --> 14:39.440
Person for a weekly or God
forbid a daily podcast and it
could be short it could be sweet
and if I ever run into him

14:39.440 --> 14:41.440
I'm gonna strap him down and
make him do one

14:42.400 --> 14:46.960
Here George Carlin talks about
the United States not having a
present

14:51.600 --> 14:53.600
You know what America lacks a

14:54.080 --> 14:57.280
Present America has no now

14:58.000 --> 15:02.240
We're reluctant to acknowledge
the present. I guess it's too
embarrassing

15:02.800 --> 15:07.760
Instead we reach into the past
our culture is composed of
sequels reruns

15:07.840 --> 15:12.000
Remix revivals reissues
re-releases recreations

15:12.880 --> 15:17.920

15:22.240 --> 15:25.280
The Germans and Japanese are now
drawing residuals

15:26.160 --> 15:32.960
Of course being essentially full
of shit we sometimes feel the
need to dress up this past
preoccupation as with

15:33.200 --> 15:37.520
Pathetic references to reruns as
on core presentations

15:38.480 --> 15:45.440
Even instant replay is a form of
token nostalgia a brief visit to
the immediate past for
re-examination

15:45.680 --> 15:52.000
Before slapping an onto a
highlight video for further
review and re-review on into the
indefinite future

15:52.800 --> 16:02.880
This yes-termania of ours
includes fantasy baseball camps
where aging sad-sax paid money
to catch baseballs thrown by men
who are once their heroes

16:03.200 --> 16:09.120
It's part of the fascination
with sports memorabilia a memory
industry and it's so lucrative

16:09.120 --> 16:11.120
It is attracted counterfeiters

16:12.080 --> 16:14.080
In this case the age of hyphens

16:14.080 --> 16:21.600
We are truly retro Americans and
our television newscasts not
only reflect this condition they
feed it

16:22.240 --> 16:25.840
Everything they report is
twisted into some reference to
the past

16:26.240 --> 16:30.160
If there's going to be a summit
meeting you'll be told all about
the last six summit meetings

16:30.480 --> 16:34.320
If there's a big earthquake
they'll do a story about big
earthquakes of the past

16:34.960 --> 16:39.840
If there's a mind disaster
you'll hear about every mind
disaster since the inception of
mining

16:40.000 --> 16:47.120
They're obsessed with looking
back. I swear. I actually heard
this next thing during a
newscast

16:47.520 --> 16:52.880
As the anchor man went to a
commercial break. He said still
ahead a look back

16:54.080 --> 16:55.840
Honest he said it

16:56.880 --> 16:59.120
Hurricane Hugo one year later.
Why?

17:00.000 --> 17:03.520
The anniversary of the
exonvaldees oil spill for what
reason?

17:04.240 --> 17:09.680
The anniversary of the Bay of
Pigs pan Amphlite 103 the
hostages in Iran the fall of the
Berlin wall

17:09.680 --> 17:12.960
V. J. Dave E. Dave yet none who
gives a fuck

17:13.360 --> 17:19.760
Bugs bunny's 50th birthday
lasties 55th the gold in Jubilee
of gone with the wind the start
of the Korean war

17:19.760 --> 17:23.920
Barbies celebrates her 35th the
25th anniversary of the New York
blackout

17:23.920 --> 17:29.760
Bambi turns 50 should I didn't
even like Bambi when I was
supposed to how much do I care
now

17:30.640 --> 17:35.920
There's really no harm I guess
in reviewing the past from time
to time knowing where you've
been

17:35.920 --> 17:39.120
This part of knowing where you
are and all that happy horse
shit

17:39.360 --> 17:46.880
But the American media have an
absolute fixation on this they
rob us of the present by
insisting on the past

17:47.440 --> 17:53.360
If they were able I'm sure they
would pay equal attention to the
future trouble is they don't
have any fell on it

17:54.000 --> 18:01.040
And so on television news there
is oddly very little emphasis on
the present on today's actual
news

18:01.360 --> 18:06.880
The present exists only in 30
second stories built around
eight second sound bites

18:06.880 --> 18:14.560
Remember sound bite is their
phrase that's if they give you
just a bite no chewing no
digestion no nourishment

18:15.120 --> 18:16.880
Malnutrition

18:16.880 --> 18:21.280
Another way they avoid the
present moment is to look ahead
on their own schedules

18:21.440 --> 18:25.520
The television news industry
seems to revolve around what's
coming next

18:26.240 --> 18:33.520
Still to come just ahead up next
coming up this half hour more to
come stay with us still ahead
also later

18:34.560 --> 18:38.080
They even preview what's going
to happen as little as one hour
later

18:38.960 --> 18:44.000
During the five o'clock news the
empty headed prick who does the
five o'clock news will suddenly
say

18:44.000 --> 18:46.640
Here's a look at what's coming
up on the six o'clock news

18:46.720 --> 18:53.280
Then the empty headed prick who
does the six o'clock news will
appear in shirts leaves in the
newsroom to create the illusion
of actual work

18:53.600 --> 19:00.880
And tell you about several
stories that the empty headed
prick who does the five o'clock
news should already have told
you about if you were really a
newsman

19:01.440 --> 19:03.440
And so it goes around the clock

19:03.760 --> 19:08.880
On the five o'clock news to tell
you about the six o'clock news
at six o'clock they tell you
about eleven at eleven

19:08.880 --> 19:14.080
They plug the morning news the
morning man promos the noon time
lady and sure enough a little
later after noon

19:14.160 --> 19:20.560
Here comes that empty headed
prick from the five o'clock news
to tell you what he's gonna do
on the five o'clock news

19:21.520 --> 19:24.000
You know if a guy were paranoid

19:24.160 --> 19:29.840
He might not be blamed for
thinking that the people who run
things don't want you dwelling
too much on the present

19:30.640 --> 19:34.080
Because keep in mind the news
media are not independent

19:34.720 --> 19:40.000
They're a sort of bulletin board
and public relations firm for
the ruling class the people who
run things

19:40.480 --> 19:47.840
Those who decide what news you
will or will not hear are paid
by and tolerated purely at the
whim of those who hold

19:48.000 --> 19:53.760
Economic power if the parent
corporation doesn't want you to
know something it won't be on
the news

19:54.400 --> 19:55.440
period

19:55.440 --> 20:00.320
Or at the very least it will be
slanted to suit them and then
barely followed up

20:01.280 --> 20:03.280
Enjoy your snooze folks

20:03.520 --> 20:05.280
Ha ha ha

20:06.000 --> 20:09.280
George Carlin the man rocks he
rocks you rock so

20:09.920 --> 20:14.480
The reason I played that is
first of all there must be a lot
of recognition in there

20:15.040 --> 20:19.920
Even the stuff that he said
about a major earthquake. Oh,
we're seeing that right now and
take a look at what's happening
now

20:19.920 --> 20:21.920
that we've gotten past the
initial

20:22.320 --> 20:25.120
Footage we're gonna start doing
statistics, but

20:25.760 --> 20:27.760
It's true the media

20:27.760 --> 20:33.200
Is yeah is not giving you the
story. It's only giving you the
story that they want you to have
that the big corporations

20:33.280 --> 20:37.840
Want you to have this is what
we're trying to get away from in
podcasting. That's why I yeah

20:37.840 --> 20:39.040
I play that for you

20:39.040 --> 20:42.640
What we're trying to get closer
to is people helping each other
out with a god damn microphones

20:48.160 --> 20:50.960
Tip for anyone looking for a
microphone still

20:51.760 --> 20:58.640
There's a deal over at target
for a member x m k a three zero
one. Oh wait a minute. Wait a
minute. Wait a minute. Surely
you mean

20:58.960 --> 21:00.960
Tarji

21:00.960 --> 21:03.600
It's old over next to the
karaoke equipment

21:04.480 --> 21:09.040
There's also a wireless model
available for anyone who needs a
little more mobility

21:09.680 --> 21:13.920
Although this one seems to have
a very long cord. It's about 10
feet long

21:14.640 --> 21:18.480
Has an XLR jack on the one end
and the quarter inch jack on the
other end

21:18.640 --> 21:22.640
So you'll probably need the
adapter for most PCs which they
also conveniently sell

21:23.600 --> 21:27.280
Anyways, I want to also say
thanks for the show and

21:28.080 --> 21:31.520
Appreciate all that you're doing
and thanks very much

21:31.840 --> 21:34.480
Oh, man, I'm not doing anything.
I'm just having a good all-time

21:34.640 --> 21:38.560
Happened some fun. What are we?
We're about 21 minutes into the
show good because I have a
couple more things

21:38.560 --> 21:43.360
I want to play for you. I've
received a whole bunch of cool
audio comments and and emails
over the

21:44.000 --> 21:48.880
Over the Christmas weekend and
something that I just reached
back to once in a while is the
agricast

21:49.280 --> 21:52.480
It's listed on the iPutter.org
directory under agriculture

21:53.280 --> 21:56.240
And the agricast is an actual
business model. There's a real
case here

21:57.040 --> 21:59.040
This is really working. This is
a podcast

21:59.760 --> 22:06.320
For the agricultural industry
and from time to time I just
want to just want to play this
because you know that someone is
out there thinking

22:07.040 --> 22:11.200
How can you start a business
what what what kind of really do
with podcasting?

22:11.440 --> 22:16.560
Well, it's just like web logs,
man. It's just like it in this
case. Now let's listen to the
agricast

22:16.720 --> 22:22.080
Welcome to another subject
county extension agricast with
extension agagent Gary Cramer
today

22:22.080 --> 22:27.280
We're going by telephone the
Gary's home where he's
recuperating from leg surgery.
We join Gary now

22:28.160 --> 22:33.600
By the way, that's odd. Hi, this
is Gary Cramer an agricast. Here
it is. It's December the 23rd

22:33.920 --> 22:38.880
And it is extremely frigid
outside and you know it it
happens every year

22:39.520 --> 22:45.200
That we've got some acres of
wheat ground that don't get
planted don't get worked for one
raisin or another

22:45.520 --> 22:49.840
And we'll occasionally get
questions about how late is too
late to plant wheat

22:50.160 --> 22:52.400
So this whole this whole cast

22:52.960 --> 22:56.160
Podcast goes on about planting
wheat. Now of course personally
I'd like to know

22:56.560 --> 23:01.280
Instead of planting wheat, you
know, how should we plant
marijuana how could we harvest
it? You know what I do

23:01.280 --> 23:03.840
We've already been through that
experiment didn't work too well

23:04.240 --> 23:09.120
But I just love hearing the this
professional use of of
podcasting and

23:09.840 --> 23:14.000
And look so the guys
recuperating from leg surgery no
problem dilemma get them on the
phone

23:14.800 --> 23:21.200
This is what podcasting is is
partially at least about this is
great. This is disseminating
information

23:21.440 --> 23:24.960
We've got the tools that before
only the professionals had

23:26.000 --> 23:28.000
Speaking of tools

23:28.560 --> 23:30.800
I've been talking about this
OPML

23:31.440 --> 23:35.440
Application which of course is
actually the open source

23:36.480 --> 23:38.480
Release of frontier

23:39.200 --> 23:41.200
That's at

23:41.200 --> 23:43.200
What's the link to that

23:43.440 --> 23:48.000
Well, there's a there's a group
there's a Yahoo group and that's
of course it's all listed in the
production show notes for today

23:48.000 --> 23:49.360
What am I thinking

23:49.360 --> 23:56.480
Steve ran into a little bit of
trouble Steve Holden as for some
reason whenever he tried to open
up an OPML file that I'm now

23:57.040 --> 23:59.840
Posting along with the source
code it wouldn't open up
properly

23:59.840 --> 24:06.400
Actually I saw later that he in
the comments that he did fix
this just let you know that
there's there's something coming
with this OPML stuff and if you

24:07.680 --> 24:09.680
if you feel like

24:10.080 --> 24:11.840
downloading the

24:11.920 --> 24:16.320
It may be a little bit early
actually to do that, but pretty
soon. I think that it's going to
be

24:17.120 --> 24:24.400
Really simple to create your
podcast using using an outline
and also to flow stuff in from
other shows

24:24.400 --> 24:27.840
You know you could get stuff
from my outline and I don't know

24:28.160 --> 24:33.840
We're still all over the map on
this but getting pretty close to
some very interesting stuff and

24:37.120 --> 24:39.120
I don't know what I was gonna
say

24:39.120 --> 24:41.120
I'm so full of shit sometimes

24:41.360 --> 24:43.360
Tell you what so is this guy?

24:43.360 --> 24:48.880
Hi Adam. This is Quentin's
Stafford Fraser and this is
coming to you from Cambridge in
England. Oh, okay

24:48.880 --> 24:54.720
Clearly just a little bit north
and I'm recording this on a
little I talk plugged into my
iPod here

24:54.720 --> 24:56.000
And these I talk so

24:56.000 --> 25:01.280
Wonderful things but because of
a limitation and the iPod the
audio quality is is not very
high

25:01.280 --> 25:06.640
I have to say this is the first
time I've heard an eye talk or
one of those is that maybe
that's the belkin is that the
eye talk

25:07.280 --> 25:12.240
Actually, it doesn't sound too
bad. I said, but there's also
some funny acoustic here

25:12.480 --> 25:15.280
Yeah, because this is coming to
you from my boss

25:15.920 --> 25:18.560
Yes, I'm quite serious because
he's splashing oh

25:18.960 --> 25:20.960
Actually, I'm doing can any hear
me

25:21.760 --> 25:26.480
Seeing me in my bottle of
alcohol is a lot of pretty sight
the great thing about audio
broadcasts

25:26.480 --> 25:32.080
You could pretend that you know
there was something kind of
handsome standing lying here,
but no, I would not know dude

25:32.960 --> 25:36.240
I don't want to pretend that
either

25:36.880 --> 25:40.800
If I pretended that seeing me in
my bath was something anyone
should afford to

25:41.760 --> 25:49.080
But there was a reason for this
and for a casting to you from my
boss not the group besides just
a gross as all out. Yeah, go
ahead

25:49.080 --> 25:51.080
Good one. Oh, bro. You but

25:52.080 --> 25:58.240
I was in hospital briefly just a
couple of days ago and I have
this dressing which I'm not
meant to get wet for a couple of
days

25:58.240 --> 26:00.240
So instead of my usual showers

26:00.480 --> 26:02.480
I've been having bath and

26:03.120 --> 26:07.840
It is all sorts of things you
can do in a bath, which are
different from things you can do
in a shower

26:09.280 --> 26:12.240
This I I know we carry my iPod
around

26:12.720 --> 26:14.000
The house with me. I have

26:14.560 --> 26:19.920
One of these little Sony travel
speaker things and it's battery
pad

26:20.720 --> 26:27.280
And I plug in into my iPod and
quite often listen to things
like BBC feeds or the daily sort
code

26:27.760 --> 26:33.680
While I'm shading and so this is
something that is this grossing
you out. It sure is grossing me

26:33.680 --> 26:40.000
Yeah, I'm talking to you in the
bath and then it's okay to me
that I could actually record a
response to you in the bath as
well

26:40.000 --> 26:46.240
And so you are listening to
another innovation from
Cambridge, which is I think of
the first ever bath

26:46.640 --> 26:48.640
bath cast

26:48.640 --> 26:51.600
If you're from almost anywhere
in the world other than the
Southern England

26:52.480 --> 26:57.520
Now, you know, there are various
I think merchandising
opportunities here because

26:58.080 --> 27:02.800
This is my iPod in the bath and
iPods are not really designed to
go with baths very well and

27:04.240 --> 27:10.080
If I drop this it would not be a
very happy iPod. So I think all
those manufacturers out there
who are making

27:11.120 --> 27:14.720
Interesting sort of cases and
add-ons on the southern friday
pots should

27:15.440 --> 27:21.520
A lot of speakers kind of rubber
duck or one of those little
yellow ducks you could even bid
your iPod in so that it would be

27:21.600 --> 27:23.600
safe in the bath or something
like that

27:24.320 --> 27:31.600
Anyway, I feel you're not going
to get very many more bath cast
from Cambridge because where's
the first female bath cast then
from Cambridge?

27:31.600 --> 27:35.440
I was uh, I normally are kind of
sharing guy and you know

27:36.000 --> 27:42.480
I got to say I'm also normally a
showing kind of guy myself. You
know, I run a weblog her status

27:43.040 --> 27:46.080
You know, you don't run a weblog
my friend. You want to wet log
dog

27:46.640 --> 27:49.680
But I think shellocasting well
that would just be silly,
wouldn't it?

27:50.080 --> 27:51.360
Hmm

27:51.360 --> 27:56.720
Okay, actually this this is a
part of a larger question that
Dave actually posted on

27:57.600 --> 27:58.960
iPod.org

27:58.960 --> 28:03.520
The question that he posted is
what's wrong with the iPod? By
the way a lot of you probably
got an iPod for Christmas

28:03.520 --> 28:10.160
I gave Christina an iPod MIDI
for Christmas, which she didn't
even know she was getting she
didn't even think she would get
it because she knows how
expensive

28:10.160 --> 28:11.120
They are

28:11.120 --> 28:13.760
Which made the surprise all that
much nicer, obviously

28:14.480 --> 28:17.200
But there's a lot wrong with it.
If you look at the postings
again a link

28:18.160 --> 28:20.960
To the iPod.org posting from the
production show notes for today

28:21.520 --> 28:27.440
There's a lot. There's a lot of
things that can be improved
obviously and add on for a
rubber duckie so that

28:28.240 --> 28:30.240
Good old quentin can

28:31.360 --> 28:37.680
Can play with his iPod in the
bath is one thing, but the fact
you know the idea of listening
to a podcast

28:38.320 --> 28:43.440
And then hitting a button to
automatically record a response
and have that handled somehow

28:43.440 --> 28:46.480
I think it's pretty cool. That
would be nice. You know from
listen to a to a

28:47.200 --> 28:53.840
To a podcast and I say hi. I
want to respond and then just
hit it and it could you know it
could mark what I was responding
to?

28:53.840 --> 29:01.280
What point in the in the podcast
record that and then send it off
appropriately if all the data
was all there and we knew where
to send it

29:01.280 --> 29:04.800
etc. They could happen. They
could happen. So if you have any
thoughts about

29:06.080 --> 29:11.680
What's wrong with the iPod or
maybe a little or positive is
what can we do to make the iPod
better or to make a better iPod?

29:11.680 --> 29:14.080
Which doesn't even have to be
called an iPad iPod?

29:14.320 --> 29:16.960
Nor does it have to be made by
Apple necessarily

29:17.920 --> 29:22.480
You know post the post a comment
there. What do you say a little
bit of music? I'm ready for some
music not too much though

29:22.480 --> 29:25.600
Just about a minute or so
because I don't know if you can
handle this. It's a mashup

29:25.920 --> 29:28.240
Which I received from Ian
Robbins

29:28.240 --> 29:33.760
I came across this mashup today
thought I might find
entertaining. It's called just
lose the accordion

29:35.120 --> 29:36.640
And if you're

29:36.640 --> 29:41.120
an M fan you'll think oh my god
here comes and indeed

29:43.750 --> 30:33.750
[ Music ]

30:41.120 --> 30:44.080
Well, I guess you could skip
through it. Okay. I'll be honest
with you

30:44.640 --> 30:48.800
The download broke after 55
seconds and I'm still on a modem
dial-up so I don't have more
than that

30:48.800 --> 30:51.360
But of course, I have the
original link to that

30:51.760 --> 30:55.200
MP3 in the production show notes
M and M in the accordion mix

30:56.080 --> 31:00.560
Definitely different. That's for
sure. See something else I
posted the last night about

31:01.440 --> 31:09.680
Creating an iPodter for my GSM
cell phone lots of responses to
that although it seems that
apparently and I and I actually
tested this

31:10.000 --> 31:14.000
I have the what do I have? I
have my Sony Ericsson. I don't
get this because

31:14.800 --> 31:20.480
The Sony Ericsson I can I can
Bluetooth from one phone to the
next and resend and receive no
problem

31:20.720 --> 31:26.240
I can send to my Mac but however
when I want to transfer
something from my Mac back to
the Sony Ericsson

31:27.280 --> 31:30.080
I try Bluetooth file browser and
I try

31:31.360 --> 31:38.560
Yeah, basically the file browser
and I try to direct upload and
I'll try the browser device and
in both cases it cuts off the
connection

31:39.120 --> 31:44.000
And apparently it's not that
easy to send stuff to your
Bluetooth phone from

31:45.040 --> 31:50.640
From a Mac or there's lots of
hiccups and handy caps and work
around that you need to

31:51.440 --> 31:53.440
Need to put in place

31:53.440 --> 31:58.080
So if you have any more
information on that I'd love to
know about it because the idea
is

31:58.960 --> 32:05.280
I mean if you already have your
iPodter running right and your
iPodter basically writes all
your new podcast out to your

32:05.760 --> 32:07.120
iTunes your Windows

32:07.280 --> 32:13.280
Media player and that eventually
onto your MP3 player. Why
couldn't you just add a little
extra process?

32:13.280 --> 32:20.000
That said, okay my favorite
favorite favorite podcast the
one that I need to have every
single day and I want it with me

32:20.960 --> 32:22.960
Can be transferred

32:22.960 --> 32:30.480
From the iPodter itself through
Bluetooth onto my cell phone,
which is basically sitting next
to the computer anyway being
charged

32:31.360 --> 32:34.640
And since I can only fit I think
was it I have a 40-meg

32:35.200 --> 32:41.680
Storage space on it. It would
have to put one on and it
removed the one from the day
before essentially, but it could
be

32:42.880 --> 32:45.440
It could be something that's
very useful not maybe not for

32:46.160 --> 32:48.160
Source code or dawn and drew,
but maybe for some

32:48.640 --> 32:54.320
You know partner information
that you just need to have and
then the great thing about it is
you're the iPodter could be
running anywhere

32:54.320 --> 33:02.480
Right because you only just need
to basically authenticate that
this is the the cell phone that
the podcast has to go to and I
think it will kind of just work

33:02.800 --> 33:09.840
And as I was thinking about
that, I thought Jesus Christ you
know my Audi actually had some
iPodter technology or at least
philosophy built into it

33:10.320 --> 33:14.320
It has the traffic monitoring
system, which I think we've
played on the show before and

33:14.960 --> 33:18.320
What that does is it monitors
you know, there's there's all
kinds of

33:18.720 --> 33:23.440
Montering systems throughout
Europe and it knows where the
traffic jams are if it's if it's

33:24.080 --> 33:29.200
Still standing traffic or if
it's slow moving traffic the
length of the traffic jam, et
cetera

33:29.360 --> 33:32.960
It also often knows you know
what the cause is road works or
accident

33:33.600 --> 33:36.080
Something else though, you've
probably heard the BBC

33:37.120 --> 33:42.640
Road reports cut into my studio
a8 as I'm driving you know as
I'm not driving as I'm recording
in the Audi

33:44.000 --> 33:50.800
So those reports are actually
recorded in and and I geez I'm
not in the obviously I'm not in
the car

33:50.800 --> 33:55.840
But next time I'm in the car
I'll let you hear him it records
up to like 30 different or 30

33:56.320 --> 34:02.800
Previous reports so in the
morning when you get in the car
the past 30 reports that have
been broadcast

34:02.800 --> 34:07.360
Even though the car was off, you
know, it's been locked the
alarms on it's out

34:07.360 --> 34:11.440
It's sitting there recording
these road reports so you can
you know go back

34:12.160 --> 34:17.440
It depends on how often they do
them, but in the morning
sometimes every five or 10
minutes and you can hear those
reports

34:17.440 --> 34:20.480
That is basic iPodter technology
and

34:21.120 --> 34:23.120
And to think that you know, they
still can't

34:23.920 --> 34:29.600
Just send me an Excel sheet from
or some spreadsheet directly
from the car at the end of the
month, which says

34:30.000 --> 34:36.320
Okay, here's the trip she took
here's what the mileage was
here's who you went to see and
it should just email it to me
from its built in

34:36.880 --> 34:38.880
GSM phone

34:39.440 --> 34:44.960
Now of course, that'll be way
too smart. It would be exactly
what we wanted and that would be
I guess wrong

34:46.560 --> 34:48.560
Okay, let's see

34:48.720 --> 34:52.720
I got this thing about the the
Gilmore gang that I picked up

34:53.600 --> 34:58.080
I don't know if I want to play
that right now because it's
about four minutes it basically
was it's a great piece of

34:58.800 --> 35:03.440
The Gilmore gang where Mitch
Kurtzman who I guess is a
venture capital

35:04.160 --> 35:08.800
Venture capitalist talks about
you know, let's let's play let's
play a little piece of it

35:08.800 --> 35:13.520
What the hell let's play just a
bit of the Gilmore gang from the
24th yeah

35:14.320 --> 35:17.600
It'll be about four minutes, but
worth it to listen to a venture
capitalist who

35:19.120 --> 35:28.400
Well, who knows what he's about
and and knows about what's
happening right now and I think
there are some exciting times if
you happen to be looking for
money for a start-up company

35:28.400 --> 35:34.320
You know Larry Elson saying that
there's going to be a
consolidation and then going out
and buying

35:35.120 --> 35:37.120
bunch of companies

35:37.120 --> 35:39.120
Self-prefetic

35:40.000 --> 35:42.000
What's the fundamental

35:42.000 --> 35:47.840
It's leading the Alson to do
this if if customers are going
to have less choice

35:48.480 --> 35:53.280
Isn't that going to make their
job of being in control a little
bit more difficult rather than
the other way around?

35:53.920 --> 35:57.920
Well, that's this probably falls
into for customers to be careful
what you wish for

35:58.560 --> 35:59.760
category

35:59.760 --> 36:06.000
Because it you know my guess is
that the customers will always
make sure that there are
alternatives

36:06.960 --> 36:14.800
And if they're on any you know
the alternatives will be created
just because everybody's going
to want at least two or three
competitors in the major market
spaces

36:15.760 --> 36:20.160
You know, I'm sorry. I had to
witness someone talking about
market spaces

36:20.800 --> 36:25.920
Predictions are mixed because
Larry Larry's effectively said
two things one as he said
they'll be consolidation

36:26.080 --> 36:33.600
But the other thing he said that
I I really disagree with is he's
also predicted that innovation
isn't going to matter any more

36:33.600 --> 36:38.000
And it's kind of the end of it
end of innovation and the you
know the

36:38.720 --> 36:44.560
Software industry the technology
business is going to look a lot
like a you know like the car
business or something where
there aren't

36:45.120 --> 36:48.320
You see those comments echoed
and

36:48.320 --> 36:53.360
You know and someone silly
manners and articles and
everything's in the New York
Times with a Wall Street Journal

36:53.760 --> 37:00.000
So what is you know if you look
up and down the valley. I was
talking to some of the folks who
you know

37:00.160 --> 37:05.920
Including John silly Brown who
was saying he's never seen more
innovation. They invalid today
than any time in the last 10
years

37:06.160 --> 37:10.480
So what things do you think are
going to be innovative coming
out in the next you know

37:11.200 --> 37:15.120
Two to five years of whatever
window you want to pick well. I
wish I knew I mean

37:16.960 --> 37:20.720
As venture capitalists you mean
you don't know we we tell well

37:20.720 --> 37:24.560
I I Dan Gilmour told me any
promise he's warning me to
secrecy

37:24.560 --> 37:26.560
Yeah, so

37:31.680 --> 37:33.680
A point blind blind for stay

37:38.240 --> 37:44.160
As venture investors I think we
we see only a little bit into
the future, but

37:44.720 --> 37:50.000
You know everything that we feel
rise if we were really that
smart we'd probably be back
wanting companies instead

37:50.400 --> 37:55.120
Don't you love it one venture
capitalists recognize that does
great major investing like we
are

37:56.000 --> 38:01.280
So instead what I I would agree
that we're seeing a phenomenal
amount of innovation

38:01.680 --> 38:05.760
I think part of it is there was
a tenth we've been through a
period if you look at the last

38:06.320 --> 38:13.920
You know decade or so we went
through I think some innovation
at the beginning of the internet
and then the internet bubble and
craze

38:15.040 --> 38:19.760
Was not really a lot about
innovation it was about business
models and distribution and

38:20.000 --> 38:27.680
Financing and going public and
we didn't see a lot of
innovation during that period. I
mean we can come up with
instances and exceptions

38:28.000 --> 38:35.440
But venture capitalists for
funding business models not
technologies. Then we went
through the recovery from the
bubble

38:36.320 --> 38:37.280
And this

38:37.280 --> 38:41.760
Dirth of innovation because
everybody had their heads down
people weren't investing in
anything

38:42.160 --> 38:45.520
If you had a job you were
keeping it you weren't risking

38:46.080 --> 38:52.320
All by leaving your your paying
job and going starting the new
company and so it's only been I
think in the last

38:52.960 --> 38:54.960
year or two that

38:55.360 --> 39:01.440
That really talented
entrepreneurs are starting to
pick up their heads and go to go
out and get funding for some
great ideas

39:01.520 --> 39:05.680
And now it's not about business
models. It's all about
innovation and technology

39:06.080 --> 39:11.760
So it's I completely agree with
the observation that it's the
most innovative time I've seen
in a long time

39:12.240 --> 39:15.440
And that is in I think in a
major part

39:16.160 --> 39:22.640
Thanks to stuff like podcasting.
I haven't finished the entire
show because they go on to talk
about okay

39:22.640 --> 39:26.160
So what is them of this great
innovation and like hmm got
really boring

39:26.880 --> 39:29.840
Because I didn't hear any
podcasting mentioned, but I'm
sure if I listen to the whole
things

39:29.840 --> 39:35.280
Steve Gilmore probably slipped
it is somewhere in a world gone
mad

39:36.400 --> 39:38.800
Where everything you know is
wrong

39:40.240 --> 39:41.600
One man

39:42.000 --> 39:46.800
He's quiet and a quest to find a
softer toilet paper

39:48.160 --> 39:51.440
It will shake the very
foundation of what is right

39:52.560 --> 40:01.440
If you only listen to one
podcast this holiday season you
owe it to the world to listen to
the daily download

40:03.200 --> 40:04.640
The poop report

40:04.640 --> 40:06.640
Paul's Chris Rockwell's
performance

40:07.120 --> 40:08.320
Solid

40:08.320 --> 40:17.200
Play Akin gives the daily
download two thumbs up the
butthole and Oprah Winfrey says
with an ass like mine

40:17.600 --> 40:23.120
I'm so glad I have the support I
need that's only available from
the daily down

40:24.480 --> 40:31.040
The daily download starring the
Reverend Chris Rockwell as Bill
and the Americans standard
toilet

40:31.120 --> 40:33.120
As his side kick plans

40:33.120 --> 40:36.320
Red and directed by Chris
Rockwell a jury brought high in
production

40:37.680 --> 40:39.680
This podcast is not yet been
raped

40:39.680 --> 40:41.360
Hotcast is not guaranteed to
improve

40:42.720 --> 40:47.280
Check out eight boy monkey girl
dot com. I gotta tell you
there's something about talking
about poop

40:48.560 --> 40:52.480
Doesn't for me the daily
download something you
definitely don't want to check
out

40:53.040 --> 40:57.440
Yes, it's the podcast you need
to listen to if you want to be
just plain old regular

41:01.120 --> 41:03.120
You

41:13.520 --> 41:17.360
All right, everybody that's it

tomorrow

41:40.240 --> 41:42.800
When I will return with more

So we'll talk about that
tomorrow about to fire Fox about
you

42:00.640 --> 42:07.600
I put a directory scanner and
