Matt has an excellent post about the cluelessness of print media. I have written about this before.
John Holbo has an article on Nietzsche and Kant.
You know those guys in uniforms who shot that other guy because they thought he was a terrorist when in fact he was just an electrician trying to get the Tube? Well, they’ve just promoted them.
Podshow launched their partnership with BT, which is going to be about BT’s forthcoming IPTV service. All very exciting, but I can’t actually see the point. Either they do it in some locked down, craptastic ‘partnership’ which will get them nothing but bad karma from the users - or it’s open, in which case, why do you need to have Podshow as a middleman when podcasting is so simple - it’s just RSS and some hosting.
I’ve just posted some video of me showing off the key feature which distinguishes the iPod from all the half-baked competiton. The iPod is the only MP3 player that I’ve found which has this vital function, and it’s the only way you can listen to podcasts without getting completely bogged down in remembering what you’ve listened to and what you haven’t.
I have been working on a project which I’m hoping to launch soon - and I thought of a great new name of it today (having read some Nietzsche yesterday) - The Abyss Explorer. Because when you stare in to the abyss, the abyss tends to stare back. And the abyss has XML.
I find it amazing that Ken Livingstone is increasing Zone 1 Tube fares to £4 a journey (for non-Oyster users). The government talks a good game about reducing pollution in order to combat climate change. How exactly is a fare hike on public transport going to help get people out of their cars and on to the Tube?
I love Elmo’s recovery.
