Podcasting Mania!
Wow…seems like a busy podcasting week for me.
Sunday night I was on the Typical Mac User Podcast with Victor Cajiao talking about doing things with your Mac. It was a lot of fun and got some good questions from the chat room. Victor always has a lively bunch hanging out during the show, and he knows how to work the crowd.
Monday night I got the privilege of hanging out and talking with Dean Jensen of the Soho Technology Podcast. Bruce Barr and I were on talking about Open Source in the Soho environment. Dean brought something up that I hadn’t thought about in a while. Smaller networks, or more specifically, small businesses needs are different from that of larger corporations. It isn’t a one size fits all world and I know that, and not having been involved with small businesses/small networks in the capacity that Dean has as a consultant in a long while kinda got lost somewhere in my mind.
*update* I almost forgot to mention that Chuck and I interviewed Dr. Pamela Gay Sunday about Her podcasting and of course, Astronomy…loads of fun. That should be coming out this week on Technorama.

Mythbusters Electric Cars vs. Gas Vehicles – Jamie Hyneman on Fuel Economy – Popular Mechanics

It’s sometimes worthwhile to read the fine print on a blog. I found Ironic Sans copyright notice a bit more interesting than most others:
This blog is typeset in Georgia, Times New Roman, or Times, in that order of priority based on what fonts are installed on your computer, or whatever standard serif font is installed if none of the above. The exceptions are the main title, which is based roughly on Baskerville Old Face, and the handwritten parts which are, well, my handwriting.

Computer History Museum Video – Out Takes
This is a follow up video from our trip to the Computer History Museum. There was some video that I just didn’t want to throw away…so, I put it together for you…here.
It isn’t much, but there is some interesting stuff including some wide shots of the computer display in the Visual Storage.

Super Mario Beat Ringtone
I found this free Super Mario Bros. ringtone while browsing around Myxer:
And because we’re all fans of Hutch, here is my favorite 7th Son ringtone. Ya know, after Hutch wrapped up Book 3, he got into LOLcats and I thought he was losing it. As it turns out, he was living under a rock Web2.0-wise while he was podcasting his work. Now he has caught up, and his Internet geekiness shines through with the Kilroy 2.0 Banana Phone ringtone:

Modder creates Dreamcast portable from mom’s plastic jewelry box – Engadget
Dreamcast fans are doing what they can to keep the final Sega console alive in handheld fashion. This latest one certainly isn’t the most elegant mod in the world — in fact, it’s a boxy Frankenstein that looks pretty uncomfortable and crampy after a long game session.
