00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
Daily source code for Monday,
April 25th, 2005.

00:07.000 --> 00:10.000
You're DJ!

00:10.000 --> 00:12.000
I you don't!

00:12.000 --> 00:16.000
Your DJ has only just begun.

00:16.000 --> 00:20.000
60 million dollars worth of
airplane strapped in my ass.

00:20.000 --> 00:21.000
Do you need me?

00:21.000 --> 00:24.000
In the next generation radio
content in my ears.

00:26.000 --> 00:29.000
I like to think I'm flying into
this jerk.

00:32.000 --> 00:36.000
Everybody welcome to your daily
source code to start of a new
week at the 25th of April.

00:38.000 --> 00:41.000
And we are in the big lady green
thing at the cottage.

00:41.000 --> 00:44.000
Welcome to your daily source
code.

00:44.000 --> 00:48.000
When I try and highlight
everything that's going on about
podcasting, play some promos,

00:48.000 --> 00:52.000
bringing the latest pod save
music, got some mashups, not one
but two today.

00:52.000 --> 00:56.000
And our pod save tune is
something special.

00:58.000 --> 01:02.000
It's a horrible day outside, at
least it's gray.

01:02.000 --> 01:08.000
And I guess this is the typical
British weather you would
imagine if you think of what
Britain is like.

01:08.000 --> 01:10.000
And of course the reputation
that it has.

01:10.000 --> 01:14.000
It's not like that every single
day, but today definitely right
on par.

01:14.000 --> 01:19.000
I'm all alone in the cottage
because what Christine has at
school took her off for early
this morning.

01:19.000 --> 01:24.000
And Patricia is off to London
with her sister Ivonne.

01:24.000 --> 01:29.000
And Ivonne's daughter, Roxy, who
is 22, I think.

01:29.000 --> 01:32.000
So despite the rain, the girls
are going to make the best of
it.

01:32.000 --> 01:38.000
It's not our honor, it's not our
honor, it's our honor, it's our
honor.

01:38.000 --> 01:40.000
Plenty of talk about today.

01:40.000 --> 01:44.000
The cast blaster beta has been
put out there.

01:44.000 --> 01:50.000
Although if you've submitted,
it'll take at least a week and a
half before you actually receive
the cast blaster.

01:50.000 --> 01:56.000
If you're chosen, I know it
sounds all political and shit,
but it really isn't.

01:56.000 --> 02:02.000
Well, let me put this way, I've
learned a tremendous amount
about windows.

02:02.000 --> 02:06.000
It was about time for me to join
the other 95% of the world and
see what's going on.

02:06.000 --> 02:10.000
And men, you guys are so damn
critical.

02:10.000 --> 02:18.000
At least in the audio
department, it really has really
not that fun the way this stuff
works.

02:18.000 --> 02:20.000
Everything works different.

02:20.000 --> 02:25.000
Every hardware manufacturer,
every sound card has a different
way of explaining what their
mixer looks like.

02:25.000 --> 02:31.000
And to get it all to work in the
cast blaster is reasonably
challenging.

02:31.000 --> 02:35.000
So if you haven't seen the
posting on www.curry.com, here's
the deal.

02:35.000 --> 02:41.000
You download this little program
called CBMT, which stands for
cast blaster mixer test.

02:41.000 --> 02:44.000
This only works on Windows XP,
by the way.

02:44.000 --> 02:49.000
So I'm sorry, people running
Windows 2000 or Macintosh's.

02:49.000 --> 02:52.000
This beta is not going to be for
you.

02:53.000 --> 02:56.000
You download it, you run it. It
basically does a scan of your
mixer.

02:56.000 --> 03:00.000
It tells us what your mixer is
doing, what it calls certain
things.

03:00.000 --> 03:06.000
Because that apparently is not
standard across all Windows
machines and sound cards.

03:06.000 --> 03:14.000
If you're looking for a, for
instance, the stereo mix portion
of a mixer in a sound card.

03:14.000 --> 03:17.000
Some may call it the stereo
mixer.

03:17.000 --> 03:20.000
Some may call it the red fader.

03:20.000 --> 03:24.000
So basically we have to build up
a database of all different
types of sound cards.

03:24.000 --> 03:27.000
It's just fucking horrendous. It
makes absolutely no sense.

03:27.000 --> 03:28.000
I did it that way.

03:28.000 --> 03:32.000
But here we are. And that's what
we have to deal with.

03:32.000 --> 03:36.000
So to answer the questions right
off the bat,

03:36.000 --> 03:40.000
there probably won't be a
version for Windows 2000.

03:40.000 --> 03:46.000
And they're, I can almost
positively say they will not be
a version for the Macintosh.

03:47.000 --> 03:51.000
And by the way, believe me, I'm
totally bummed out because I am
a Mac guy.

03:51.000 --> 03:55.000
I'm just for obvious business
reasons.

03:55.000 --> 03:59.000
Mainly because most of the world
is on Windows.

03:59.000 --> 04:01.000
We're creating this as a Windows
application.

04:01.000 --> 04:04.000
But there is some solace in all
of this.

04:04.000 --> 04:06.000
After the first round of
testing,

04:06.000 --> 04:09.000
they will open up to a public,
public beta.

04:09.000 --> 04:12.000
What is going to happen
essentially with the cast
blaster?

04:12.000 --> 04:17.000
After we get through the first
phase, which will include being
able to record an MP3 file

04:17.000 --> 04:19.000
and save that on your desktop,

04:19.000 --> 04:24.000
the next round will be tied into
the podshow.com service.

04:24.000 --> 04:27.000
So that when it'll save the file
to your desktop,

04:27.000 --> 04:30.000
but it'll also upload it, create
your RSS feed.

04:30.000 --> 04:32.000
You know, all the stuff that
everyone is doing.

04:32.000 --> 04:35.000
This is not our number, the
number one part of our mission.

04:35.000 --> 04:38.000
In fact, I'd say it's,

04:39.000 --> 04:41.000
well, it's high on the list.

04:41.000 --> 04:45.000
Again, we want it to make easy
for people to listen to podcast.

04:45.000 --> 04:49.000
And one way of doing that is
getting lots of people to
podcast

04:49.000 --> 04:51.000
who have a couple of listeners.

04:51.000 --> 04:54.000
And then that culture and that
community starts to breed upon
itself

04:54.000 --> 04:55.000
and people help each other out.

04:55.000 --> 04:58.000
But we still have to make it a
hell of a lot easier.

04:58.000 --> 05:01.000
Personally, this is the type of
interface that I've always
wanted

05:01.000 --> 05:04.000
to use for podcasting straight
from the computer,

05:04.000 --> 05:05.000
which is kind of, you know,

05:05.000 --> 05:08.000
our new version of the radio
studio, right?

05:08.000 --> 05:10.000
But it has to be simple because
otherwise,

05:10.000 --> 05:14.000
you can just get so bogged down
in features and options.

05:14.000 --> 05:16.000
And I just want something that
just works.

05:16.000 --> 05:20.000
So people can play a couple of
promos or jingles or music

05:20.000 --> 05:21.000
or whatever it is.

05:21.000 --> 05:23.000
Have some auto leveling in
there,

05:23.000 --> 05:25.000
which the cast blaster does
have.

05:25.000 --> 05:29.000
So we can start to protect
people's ear drums

05:29.000 --> 05:33.000
from blowing them out by playing
really loud audio clips.

05:35.000 --> 05:37.000
What we're planning on doing
though,

05:37.000 --> 05:39.000
and I think this is the exciting
part,

05:39.000 --> 05:42.000
is once we've got the cast
blaster up and running and
working,

05:42.000 --> 05:45.000
we're going to open up the API
to the podshow.com system,

05:45.000 --> 05:49.000
which means that any developer
can basically create an
application

05:49.000 --> 05:52.000
that will work with podshow.com.

05:52.000 --> 05:55.000
Which I think is extremely
exciting,

05:55.000 --> 05:57.000
if I look at the universe out
there,

05:57.000 --> 06:00.000
of applications for all
platforms,

06:00.000 --> 06:06.000
for windows, for Mac, for Linux,
mobile devices.

06:06.000 --> 06:09.000
There are so many programs,

06:09.000 --> 06:11.000
and many of you are using them
like audacity,

06:11.000 --> 06:14.000
or maybe you're using sound
recorder or something like that.

06:14.000 --> 06:16.000
So essentially, all that will
happen,

06:16.000 --> 06:18.000
and I'm trivializing the all
that will happen,

06:18.000 --> 06:24.000
is that developers will just add
a little gateway to our API,

06:24.000 --> 06:28.000
and they'll be able to add a
podcast button to any software

06:28.000 --> 06:30.000
that already exists.

06:30.000 --> 06:32.000
So I think this is really
exciting,

06:32.000 --> 06:34.000
because we'll see a whole,

06:34.000 --> 06:40.000
hopefully we'll foster a whole
development community of
recording devices,

06:40.000 --> 06:44.000
basically, because once you have
the podcast and taken care of,

06:44.000 --> 06:47.000
all you have to do literally is
just, you know,

06:47.000 --> 06:50.000
drop in that functionality,
connect up,

06:50.000 --> 06:55.000
and then provide a way for your
users to log in,

06:55.000 --> 06:57.000
so it's just a username and a
password,

06:57.000 --> 06:59.000
and you're off to the races.

06:59.000 --> 07:01.000
So if you don't like the
interface,

07:01.000 --> 07:03.000
for instance, that the cast
blaster provides,

07:03.000 --> 07:05.000
if you think it should work a
different way,

07:05.000 --> 07:07.000
if we're just going to work
better for you,

07:07.000 --> 07:10.000
and believe me, there is no
right and wrong when it comes to
this stuff.

07:10.000 --> 07:13.000
I mean, having been around radio
studios for years,

07:13.000 --> 07:15.000
and having built several,

07:15.000 --> 07:17.000
it's, you know, it's an art.

07:17.000 --> 07:19.000
It's not, well, it's science as
well,

07:19.000 --> 07:21.000
but it's just, you know,
whatever you find easy.

07:21.000 --> 07:24.000
In fact, many broadcast studios
today,

07:24.000 --> 07:27.000
come highly configurable, so
that the, you know,

07:27.000 --> 07:29.000
the station engineer,
presumably,

07:29.000 --> 07:32.000
in dialogue with the people who
are going to use the system,

07:32.000 --> 07:35.000
and the setup can actually, you
know, customize it.

07:35.000 --> 07:37.000
So I like to have my microphone
over here,

07:37.000 --> 07:39.000
and I like to have my, my music
controls here,

07:39.000 --> 07:42.000
and, you know, maybe I want one
on the right,

07:42.000 --> 07:43.000
and you know, whatever it is,

07:43.000 --> 07:45.000
you'll be able to set all of
that up.

07:45.000 --> 07:49.000
So that's coming with the cast
blaster in data now, officially,

07:49.000 --> 07:53.000
and we're choosing people based
upon their sound cards right
now.

07:53.000 --> 07:55.000
Don't feel bad if we haven't
gotten to you.

07:55.000 --> 07:57.000
It shouldn't be more than three
weeks

07:57.000 --> 07:59.000
until we get to the public beta,
maybe four.

07:59.000 --> 08:01.000
Of course, the part of the
development team

08:01.000 --> 08:03.000
has to go on vacation, too,
right?

08:03.000 --> 08:05.000
He can hit you with a mashup.

08:05.000 --> 08:07.000
This is, is when I found on,

08:07.000 --> 08:09.000
through ipodder.org.

08:09.000 --> 08:10.000
This is from the hitmaker,

08:10.000 --> 08:12.000
who does a podcast of all his
mashups.

08:12.000 --> 08:16.000
A brand new way to listen to 70s
rock and roll.

08:16.000 --> 08:19.000
He was like the first time
versus foreigner

08:19.000 --> 08:21.000
on your daily source code.

08:21.000 --> 08:23.000
This is from the hitmaker.

08:23.000 --> 08:25.000
This is from the hitmaker.

08:25.000 --> 08:27.000
This is from the hitmaker.

08:27.000 --> 08:29.000
This is from the hitmaker.

08:29.000 --> 13:43.660
[ Music ]

13:43.660 --> 14:13.620
Woo, stick it in your ear, man,
blue-bram, thick-jones,

14:13.620 --> 14:16.620
probably tripping out of there
here in this one.

14:16.620 --> 14:20.620
The hit maker feels like the
first time versus foreigner,

14:20.620 --> 14:24.620
fantastic mashup to get the
wheat cranked.

14:24.620 --> 14:27.620
Of course, I loaded this into
one of the jingle cartridges,

14:27.620 --> 14:29.620
so I don't know exactly when
it's gonna end, right?

14:29.620 --> 14:32.620
Don't have a progress bar on
that one.

14:32.620 --> 14:35.620
Too much stuff to play.

14:36.620 --> 14:38.620
Yo, oh, man.

14:38.620 --> 14:40.620
A little music heavy on today's
show,

14:40.620 --> 14:41.620
but that's okay.

14:41.620 --> 14:43.620
As I said, I have another mashup
coming,

14:43.620 --> 14:46.620
and let's see, a piece I wanted
to play

14:46.620 --> 14:48.620
from the vinyl podcast, and of
course,

14:48.620 --> 14:50.620
got a couple of promos for you.

14:50.620 --> 14:53.620
Yeah, I know, I'm a word nerd.

14:53.620 --> 14:54.620
Hey, you might be one, too.

14:54.620 --> 14:56.620
Are you curious about words and
language?

14:56.620 --> 14:58.620
Then check out the word nerds.

14:58.620 --> 15:00.620
Go to the word nerds.org.

15:00.620 --> 15:02.620
Go ahead, be a nerd.

15:02.620 --> 15:03.620
Be proud of it.

15:03.620 --> 15:05.620
Right on.

15:05.620 --> 15:08.620
We love the nerds.

15:08.620 --> 15:10.620
Hey, I got new glasses,
everybody.

15:10.620 --> 15:13.620
I'm gonna be a nerd.

15:13.620 --> 15:15.620
We were in town on Saturday,

15:15.620 --> 15:18.620
and basically I used to wear
contact lens.

15:18.620 --> 15:19.620
I think I've told you this
before.

15:19.620 --> 15:21.620
I used to wear contact lenses
all the time.

15:21.620 --> 15:24.620
The disposable type, which you
could basically keep in your
eyes,

15:24.620 --> 15:25.620
I don't know.

15:25.620 --> 15:27.620
It says a day, but I think I
usually kept them a week,

15:27.620 --> 15:29.620
and I had the week lenses that I
kept in for a month.

15:29.620 --> 15:33.620
And it wasn't until I've also
mentioned this until I started
doing

15:33.620 --> 15:36.620
some night flying, when I put my
glasses on,

15:36.620 --> 15:38.620
and was able to do an AB
comparison.

15:38.620 --> 15:41.620
I was like, whoa, I'm missing a
hell of a lot,

15:41.620 --> 15:45.620
by looking at the world through
contact lenses.

15:45.620 --> 15:50.620
And so it was, was this about a
year ago,

15:50.620 --> 15:54.620
I did a promotional spot when I
was still doing the radio gig

15:54.620 --> 15:59.620
in the Netherlands for a big
chain of eyewear stores.

15:59.620 --> 16:03.620
And I guess something was fucked
up in the sales department.

16:03.620 --> 16:05.620
They didn't really have any
budget left or whatever.

16:05.620 --> 16:08.620
I said, you know, fuck, I just
give me a year supply of
contacts,

16:08.620 --> 16:11.620
and give me, you know, give me a
pair of glasses.

16:11.620 --> 16:13.620
And that's when I got the rose
colored glasses,

16:13.620 --> 16:16.620
which I've received plenty of
comments about.

16:16.620 --> 16:18.620
Although I really enjoy looking
through the world,

16:18.620 --> 16:20.620
looking at the world through
rose colored glasses.

16:20.620 --> 16:22.620
It is true, it does just make
you kind of happy.

16:22.620 --> 16:26.620
And they also gave me a pair of
great prescriptions,

16:26.620 --> 16:28.620
sung glasses, which I used for
all my flying,

16:28.620 --> 16:31.620
because they're intended for
driving,

16:31.620 --> 16:34.620
so you can see the more clarity
in colors,

16:34.620 --> 16:37.620
more hue, or more whatever the
hell it is.

16:37.620 --> 16:40.620
But they're great, because you
can really see definition

16:40.620 --> 16:42.620
between clouds and other
aircraft.

16:42.620 --> 16:43.620
So I like them a lot.

16:43.620 --> 16:45.620
But it was definitely time for
something new,

16:45.620 --> 16:47.620
not only because, well, you
know,

16:47.620 --> 16:50.620
you just want to like, got to
change your glasses, right?

16:50.620 --> 16:53.620
So I got, and we were actually
looking at some,

16:53.620 --> 16:56.620
what my daughter, Christina, was
calling emo glasses.

16:56.620 --> 16:58.620
So that would be like the black
horn rim glasses,

16:58.620 --> 17:01.620
and you put a band A to the
middle, almost bought a pair.

17:01.620 --> 17:03.620
Instead, I got this wonderful
pair of,

17:03.620 --> 17:04.620
what are these?

17:04.620 --> 17:05.620
Oh, they are brand, actually.

17:05.620 --> 17:07.620
They weren't that expensive.

17:07.620 --> 17:09.620
They're Bugari.

17:09.620 --> 17:13.620
And this time I went for a very
light blue tint.

17:13.620 --> 17:17.620
It's just something about the
tint that just makes it all
work.

17:17.620 --> 17:19.620
And so they're very comfortable,

17:19.620 --> 17:21.620
and they work extremely well.

17:21.620 --> 17:24.620
And I'm going back today after I
do the podcast.

17:24.620 --> 17:27.620
Right now it's noon, it's three
minutes past 12

17:27.620 --> 17:29.620
in the afternoon, UK time, local
time.

17:29.620 --> 17:31.620
I'm going back to have an eye
test done,

17:31.620 --> 17:34.620
because I am going to go back
and get some more contacts,

17:34.620 --> 17:36.620
because there are just certain
times when contacts

17:36.620 --> 17:38.620
or are convenient, I guess.

17:38.620 --> 17:39.620
And as I was thinking about all
this,

17:39.620 --> 17:42.620
I saw a new podcast come through
an iPod.

17:42.620 --> 17:44.620
Or by the way, I apologize for
the big porn picture

17:44.620 --> 17:47.620
that was on the homepage the
other day.

17:47.620 --> 17:49.620
In the way it works is,

17:49.620 --> 17:52.620
there's a whole bunch of scripts
and little programs

17:52.620 --> 17:55.620
that run to parse through this
entire directory,

17:55.620 --> 17:58.620
a whole lot of stuff that come
from basically anywhere,

17:58.620 --> 18:01.620
anywhere within the directory of
a new podcast is listed.

18:01.620 --> 18:03.620
It's supposed to bring that to
the top.

18:03.620 --> 18:05.620
And then it automatically posts
those on the homepage,

18:05.620 --> 18:08.620
and then I usually do a scan to
see if there's no spam in there.

18:08.620 --> 18:11.620
Believe me, there's plenty of
people spamming that all the
time.

18:11.620 --> 18:14.620
And I think this was the porn
cast,

18:14.620 --> 18:16.620
which I got nothing against the
porn cast.

18:16.620 --> 18:18.620
I know who's doing this is Ed,

18:18.620 --> 18:21.620
who created the porn cast in
Holland.

18:21.620 --> 18:24.620
But I guess it was a JavaScript
or something

18:24.620 --> 18:27.620
if you didn't actually, until
you actually clicked on
something on the page,

18:27.620 --> 18:30.620
this image wouldn't appear, so I
didn't catch it.

18:30.620 --> 18:33.620
And of course, I was asleep
while in the States,

18:33.620 --> 18:36.620
everyone was freaking out about
this picture on the homepage.

18:36.620 --> 18:38.620
So I just removed the picture.

18:38.620 --> 18:40.620
I'm not going to remove the
listing for the porn cast,

18:40.620 --> 18:43.620
of course, because that's up to
you if you want to subscribe or
listen to that.

18:43.620 --> 18:46.620
But that was going a bit far, I
think.

18:46.620 --> 18:51.620
Anyway, my point is, I came
across a great podcast

18:51.620 --> 18:54.620
that I just wanted to share a
couple of bits with you.

18:54.620 --> 18:55.620
I downloaded the whole thing.

18:55.620 --> 18:56.620
Let's just listen to this for a
second.

18:56.620 --> 19:00.620
Hi, I'm Marlene and I live in
Seattle.

19:00.620 --> 19:04.620
And I have only just recently
discovered

19:04.620 --> 19:11.620
the phenomenon of podcasting and
being someone who loves audio

19:11.620 --> 19:17.620
and has played with audio for
all of my life.

19:17.620 --> 19:22.620
I immediately wanted to jump
into it and give it a shot.

19:22.620 --> 19:26.620
So I've been playing with it my
whole adult life too, Marlene.

19:26.620 --> 19:27.620
A shot.

19:27.620 --> 19:35.620
So I've started a podcast called
Marlene by ear.

19:35.620 --> 19:44.620
And it's my blog is going to be
called the blind spot blog.

19:44.620 --> 19:51.620
And the website is
www.blindcast.com.

19:51.620 --> 19:53.620
You're starting to catch on,
right?

19:53.620 --> 19:57.620
And in case you hadn't figured
out, I happened to be blind.

19:57.620 --> 20:02.620
So Marlene does a podcast.

20:02.620 --> 20:06.620
And with her husband, who is,
she calls him the board guy.

20:06.620 --> 20:08.620
They also do a radio show, I
think, in Seattle.

20:08.620 --> 20:12.620
But when she's doing the
podcast, her husband is called
the I guy.

20:12.620 --> 20:15.620
But he has his own disability,
he's in a wheelchair.

20:15.620 --> 20:17.620
So this is a wonderful pair.

20:17.620 --> 20:18.620
But it's great.

20:18.620 --> 20:21.620
They went to the Museum of
Flight in Seattle,

20:21.620 --> 20:24.620
which by the way is where the
Hercules is based,

20:24.620 --> 20:27.620
known to some incorrectly as the
Spruce Goose,

20:27.620 --> 20:31.620
that's how it hues enormous
wooden aircraft.

20:31.620 --> 20:34.620
If you've seen the movie The
Aviator, then you know what I'm
talking about.

20:34.620 --> 20:35.620
So they go to the Museum.

20:35.620 --> 20:39.620
They do some flying in the
simulator.

20:39.620 --> 20:42.620
They hook up with seeing eye
dogs as puppies,

20:42.620 --> 20:44.620
who are going to be trained to
be seeing eye dogs.

20:44.620 --> 20:46.620
But really, it just hit me.

20:46.620 --> 20:49.620
It's like, wow, you know, where
is the entire community

20:49.620 --> 20:52.620
to do podcasts for blind people?

20:52.620 --> 20:54.620
It must be out there.

20:54.620 --> 20:58.620
You know, can't we, and believe
me, if someone will help me
produce,

20:58.620 --> 20:59.620
I'd be happy to do it.

20:59.620 --> 21:01.620
You know, we should have
readings of newspapers.

21:01.620 --> 21:03.620
We should have readings of
magazines of, you know,

21:03.620 --> 21:04.620
all kinds of stuff.

21:04.620 --> 21:06.620
There are lots of people out
there who really

21:06.620 --> 21:08.620
would like to do something with
podcasts.

21:08.620 --> 21:10.620
But maybe, you know, maybe
you're just not,

21:10.620 --> 21:11.620
you don't know what to say.

21:11.620 --> 21:12.620
Maybe you have no content.

21:12.620 --> 21:16.620
Hey, there's plenty to be done
for the blind community.

21:16.620 --> 21:19.620
And the community is obviously
huge.

21:19.620 --> 21:21.620
And what an opportunity.

21:21.620 --> 21:24.620
What an opportunity to do some
great, great stuff

21:24.620 --> 21:27.620
for an entire segment of the
population

21:27.620 --> 21:30.620
that has really been crippled by
today's media.

21:30.620 --> 21:31.620
Yes, sure.

21:31.620 --> 21:33.620
We've got close captions on
television and, you know,

21:33.620 --> 21:36.620
we have radio, but, you know, to
really be able to expand

21:36.620 --> 21:42.620
into any, any area that
currently is not sufficiently
served

21:42.620 --> 21:46.620
by, by the media by, I hate
saying,

21:46.620 --> 21:48.620
well, I guess I can say
traditional media or mainstream
media,

21:48.620 --> 21:50.620
you know, radio and television
and newspapers,

21:50.620 --> 21:51.620
all in print as well.

21:51.620 --> 21:53.620
It's just a great opportunity.

21:53.620 --> 21:54.620
So think about that.

21:54.620 --> 21:56.620
And of course, you should check
out,

21:56.620 --> 21:58.620
Marlene, by ear, her podcast,

21:58.620 --> 22:00.620
which you can find in today's
show notes

22:00.620 --> 22:03.620
for the daily source code at
dailysourcecode.com.

22:03.620 --> 22:07.620
Hey, Adam.

22:07.620 --> 22:11.620
It's Chris from the
Technoblog.com audio feed.

22:11.620 --> 22:12.620
Just sending the promo over.

22:12.620 --> 22:14.620
So you know who we are and what
we do.

22:14.620 --> 22:17.620
What do we talk about on the
Technoblog.com audio feed?

22:17.620 --> 22:19.620
Well, we talk about video games.

22:19.620 --> 22:22.620
It's their main topic because
it's a huge industry

22:22.620 --> 22:23.620
and you gotta know what you're
doing.

22:23.620 --> 22:25.620
You know, so you don't buy some
grabs.

22:25.620 --> 22:27.620
So we're going to make sure that
you know what you're buying

22:27.620 --> 22:28.620
and know you'll enjoy it.

22:28.620 --> 22:29.620
What else do we talk about?

22:29.620 --> 22:31.620
We talk about the new systems
that aren't even out yet.

22:31.620 --> 22:32.620
We got the new Xbox.

22:32.620 --> 22:34.620
Everyone's coming out with these
new systems.

22:34.620 --> 22:36.620
And you can't know whether it's
worth buying or not.

22:36.620 --> 22:37.620
And we're going to tell you.

22:37.620 --> 22:39.620
We're going to talk about the
new as it comes out.

22:39.620 --> 22:42.620
So that you can be an informed
buyer when those come out on the
shelf.

22:42.620 --> 22:44.620
So what are you waiting for?

22:44.620 --> 22:47.620
Go to Technoblog.com right now.

22:47.620 --> 22:48.620
And sign up for the Technoblog
audio feed.

22:48.620 --> 22:51.620
Just throw it in your RSS reader
and you're set to go.

22:51.620 --> 22:54.620
Because the Technoblog.com we
take live.

22:54.620 --> 22:56.620
One CPU cycle at a time.

22:57.620 --> 22:59.620
Now back to you Adam and the
daily source code.

22:59.620 --> 23:02.620
See, it always happens just when
I'm recording the show.

23:02.620 --> 23:04.620
I start to get phone calls.

23:04.620 --> 23:07.620
So that was Crystal the PA from
Holland.

23:07.620 --> 23:09.620
So I'll have to call her back in
a second.

23:09.620 --> 23:10.620
She just have to wait.

23:10.620 --> 23:11.620
I'm so sorry.

23:11.620 --> 23:12.620
Doing the podcast.

23:12.620 --> 23:15.620
I was listening to Morning
Coffee Notes.

23:15.620 --> 23:17.620
That's Dave Winner's podcast.

23:17.620 --> 23:19.620
And he was in Seattle.

23:19.620 --> 23:21.620
And he was there with.

23:21.620 --> 23:24.620
Oh, man, I should really open up
my browser.

23:24.620 --> 23:26.620
My browser should not.

23:26.620 --> 23:32.620
I was either with Mr. Terone
from the formerly of the
Engadget podcast.

23:32.620 --> 23:36.620
And he was there with one other
person who I think was from
Microsoft.

23:36.620 --> 23:37.620
Oh, that's my.

23:37.620 --> 23:40.620
My voice mail telling me that
Crystal is left a message.

23:40.620 --> 23:41.620
Hold on a second.

23:41.620 --> 23:43.620
I've opened up Firefox here.

23:43.620 --> 23:45.620
Let me just see here to
Starbucks.

23:45.620 --> 23:47.620
Yeah, coffee notes podcast.

23:47.620 --> 23:49.620
Filterone who is left.

23:49.620 --> 23:50.620
Engadget.

23:50.620 --> 23:52.620
And is the Engadget podcast now
gone?

23:52.620 --> 23:57.620
Is that now a gaping hole in the
podcast industry that needs to
be filled?

23:57.620 --> 23:58.620
It might be.

23:58.620 --> 24:00.620
He's now at Make Mag.

24:00.620 --> 24:03.620
And oh, Beth goes a Microsoft.

24:03.620 --> 24:05.620
So they were in Kirkland
Washington.

24:05.620 --> 24:07.620
I guess that's near Seattle.

24:07.620 --> 24:09.620
And the audio wasn't too great.

24:09.620 --> 24:11.620
So I'm not going to play any of
that.

24:11.620 --> 24:16.620
But what was really interesting
was the thought that came up.

24:16.620 --> 24:19.620
I think it was Beth who
mentioned it.

24:19.620 --> 24:21.620
That wouldn't be awesome.

24:21.620 --> 24:23.620
If, you know, now we have these
satellite companies.

24:23.620 --> 24:26.620
These satellite radio companies.

24:26.620 --> 24:28.620
Examine serious.

24:28.620 --> 24:33.620
If there could be a channel,
which we could flow podcasts
through.

24:33.620 --> 24:36.620
You know, and she called it kind
of like a community.

24:36.620 --> 24:39.620
Was it like a community access
channel.

24:39.620 --> 24:43.620
Which sounded a lot like what
openpodcast.org is doing.

24:43.620 --> 24:44.620
Which I love.

24:44.620 --> 24:45.620
I'm a subscriber.

24:45.620 --> 24:48.620
That's one of the feeds that I
listened to all the time.

24:48.620 --> 24:49.620
I've been a pro.

24:49.620 --> 24:50.620
Most of the time.

24:50.620 --> 24:51.620
I've been a pro.

24:51.620 --> 24:52.620
Most of the time.

24:52.620 --> 24:56.620
Sometimes they actually
communicate through
openpodcast.org.

24:56.620 --> 24:59.620
And, you know, one person will
say something to the person will
come back.

24:59.620 --> 25:02.620
And you can access it through
different ways.

25:02.620 --> 25:05.620
You can dial in with a phone
number.

25:05.620 --> 25:07.620
They've got and just leave a
voice mail.

25:07.620 --> 25:09.620
And I get sent out of this
podcast.

25:09.620 --> 25:13.620
Or I think you can email a URL
where your MP3 file can be
found.

25:13.620 --> 25:15.620
I don't know if you can actually
mail an MP3 file itself.

25:15.620 --> 25:18.620
Of course, you'd have to have
some kind of.

25:18.620 --> 25:20.620
It's going to sound like
gatekeeper controls.

25:20.620 --> 25:23.620
But I guess that's kind of what
it is because, you know,

25:23.620 --> 25:25.620
I see with iPod.org, as I
mentioned earlier,

25:25.620 --> 25:28.620
people will just spam the shit
out of anything that's wide
open.

25:28.620 --> 25:30.620
So you have to have some kind of
controls on it to.

25:30.620 --> 25:32.620
You determine what goes through.

25:32.620 --> 25:35.620
Based upon not necessarily
content, but probably length.

25:35.620 --> 25:38.620
You know, imagine someone tying
up the community access channel
for.

25:38.620 --> 25:39.620
For hours.

25:39.620 --> 25:41.620
So you have to put some kind of
time limit on it.

25:41.620 --> 25:42.620
But I thought that's a great
idea.

25:42.620 --> 25:44.620
And I thought that's something
I've got to talk about.

25:44.620 --> 25:45.620
Talk to some people about.

25:45.620 --> 25:48.620
I really, really like that idea.

25:48.620 --> 25:51.620
And I was on my way to the US.

25:51.620 --> 25:53.620
I think the last trip.

25:53.620 --> 25:56.620
And by the way, I may be leaving
Wednesday again for a quick.

25:56.620 --> 26:00.620
Lightning tour of San Francisco
and New York.

26:00.620 --> 26:03.620
That's not entirely set in
stone, but it looks like that's
going to happen.

26:03.620 --> 26:06.620
So I might leave Wednesday and
come back during the weekend.

26:06.620 --> 26:08.620
Oh, yeah, it's busy.

26:08.620 --> 26:10.620
And I'm a big fan of the vinyl
podcast.

26:10.620 --> 26:12.620
And the vinyl, but Cody does the
vinyl podcast.

26:12.620 --> 26:15.620
What does he call it to fair use
of music that's out of print.

26:15.620 --> 26:17.620
He plays vinyl records from his
own collection.

26:17.620 --> 26:21.620
And he played a song which we've
all heard a million times.

26:21.620 --> 26:23.620
I guarantee you've heard this.

26:23.620 --> 26:27.620
If you've been listening to
music since the 80s.

26:27.620 --> 26:32.620
The early 80s, even hip hop, you
have heard pieces of this song.

26:32.620 --> 26:36.620
Predominantly the sample of the
drum bongo beat.

26:36.620 --> 26:40.620
That is featured predominantly
throughout the track.

26:40.620 --> 26:43.620
And there's really this whole
break at a certain point.

26:43.620 --> 26:46.620
And you'll just say, oh, man,
I've heard this in so many hip
hop records.

26:46.620 --> 26:48.620
One of the most sampled songs.

26:48.620 --> 26:50.620
The incredible bongo band.

26:50.620 --> 26:55.620
I'm not going to play the whole
wind up because Cody does a
whole intro to every single time
he plays

26:55.620 --> 26:59.620
a tune about the background of
the song and the singers and
etc.

26:59.620 --> 27:00.620
And some of the history.

27:00.620 --> 27:01.620
So I'm going to skip that.

27:01.620 --> 27:03.620
You can find them at
vinylpodcast.org.

27:03.620 --> 27:05.620
And of course, it'll be listed
in the show notes.

27:05.620 --> 27:09.620
But check out a little bit of
his intro and then groove along
to the incredible bongo band.

27:09.620 --> 27:12.620
Welcome to the vinylpodcast.

27:12.620 --> 27:13.620
Fair use of forgotten music.

27:13.620 --> 27:16.620
It was supposed to, it wasn't
supposed to rewind.

27:16.620 --> 27:18.620
It was supposed to start when I
cut it up.

27:18.620 --> 27:19.620
Hold on.

27:19.620 --> 27:20.620
And it's worse.

27:20.620 --> 27:23.620
The group sounds like a cross
between a marching band and a
cheesy big band.

27:23.620 --> 27:28.620
But at its best, the percussion
breaks a rock solid and funky.

27:28.620 --> 27:33.620
My general feeling is that
Apache, the incredible bongo
band's cover of the shadow's
song,

27:33.620 --> 27:35.620
often veers toward the cheesy.

27:36.620 --> 27:39.620
But I long ago cease to be a
reliable critic of this song.

27:39.620 --> 27:44.620
It all sounds good to me because
I know what's coming a little
more than two minutes into the
song.

27:44.620 --> 27:47.620
One of the funkiest and most
iconic drum breaks I've ever
heard.

27:47.620 --> 27:52.620
These drums were a staple of
early hip hop played in the
parks by Africa Bandbada,

27:52.620 --> 27:55.620
covered by sugar hill gang and
sampled over and over again.

27:55.620 --> 27:56.620
I just love them.

27:56.620 --> 27:58.620
So do me a favor.

27:58.620 --> 28:02.620
Bear with this track for a
couple of minutes or if it's
just too much to bear, fast
forward a little.

28:03.620 --> 28:07.620
Here's a passive struck by the
incredible bongo band on the
vinyl podcast.

28:07.620 --> 28:09.620
Now crank this shit up.

28:09.620 --> 28:10.620

28:10.620 --> 28:11.620

Oh whoa.

29:29.620 --> 29:30.620
Oh.

29:30.620 --> 29:38.620
So you can just imagine me
sitting in the airplane, I got
up, had this song on the
headphones.

29:38.620 --> 29:43.620
You need to go for a bathroom
break and then all of a sudden
the Vongo break came and it just
tripped me out.

29:43.620 --> 29:45.620
I was freaking in the aisles.

29:49.620 --> 29:51.620
Why it almost made me want to
rap?

my best part.

30:44.620 --> 30:46.620

built.

30:46.620 --> 30:47.620

30:47.620 --> 30:48.620

We can work to adjust the music

at all the hits that were based
upon this and you know, if you

32:28.340 --> 32:31.980

are doing with mashups, there's
so much stuff that can be done

32:31.980 --> 32:33.980

exciting

today I want to tell you
something about an endangered
species.

The species is almost extinct,
and as far as I know, there's
only two of them left,

37:28.020 --> 37:31.220
two of those little funny
creatures.

thing you can do to help

us not get extinct is listen to
our shows, and mine can be
found, it's a three minute

be found at www.annigroobens.de,

sleepless in Munich, okay?

talk to Chris from Podcast Alan.

fireproof way to stop all the
voting scams and the cheating
that's going

41:42.440 --> 41:43.440

honest as possible obviously?

for tomorrow.

significantly.

top.
