Update (15 Mar 2007): So, long rant, but I may have found my problem - I had set podcasts in iTunes to sync only “unplayed episodes” to the iPod, which also seems to imply that they never sync / record data about having been played. Or ratings from the iPod, for that matter. [...]
Reading Lists, OPML, XOXO, Semantic Web, and Tools
February 13, 2006 – 12:09 pm
Listening to this podcast about OPML and Reading Lists and enjoying the various perspectives on RSS, OPML, and Semantic Web tech.

(Note: This is a long one.) Reading “The slow decline of the blockbuster” on Ars Technica reminds me that this Long Tail stuff is something on which I’ve been wanting to write something intelligent for a long time now. This might all just be techno-hippy michegas in the end, but I’m really excited about the [...]

Spaceship Radio is nifty
October 20, 2005 – 5:09 pm
Remember when I wrote that I wanted to do a podcast of old time radio scifi? Well, I’ve been beaten to the punch by Andy Doan of Spaceship Radio. Hooray—he’s doing a briliant job, so I don’t have to! Now, if I can just find the spare time, I might work on [...]
