Don’t think he is a big fan of the Netherlands

I’ve just imported the first five episodes of EarthCore, the first podcastnovel to my minidisc (does anyone know an alternative for sonicstage???), so i’m ready to go! I just listened for a minute and the production quality is realy high. There will be one episode every week and there will be 24 episodes, so we’re covered till august/september.

Now i’m listening to an interview with the author, Scott Sigler on the Mr. X’s podcast from april the 15th. He is looking for some exposure and some advertisers, he has allready 5000 subscribers. This is the long tail!

Mr. X promises me its a good story, even when you’re not into scifi, which am not (yet). Last week i saw a documentary about the author Philip K. Dick and thought it might be interesting reading material. So today i gave the second-hand bookstore a visit and got me 5 copies of dutch translations of Philip K. Dick novels for only 15 euro’s! So i’m ready to dive into the scifi world!

I have to finish the book i’m reading now first, which is ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’ by Jonathan Safran Foer. I can really recommend it. If you want to find out more, read the reviews at amazon.

Ok, so added another subscription to iPodder (mr X). The list is becoming rather long, i’m afraid i have to make a selection and have to unsubscribe some

I understand from the mr. X podcast that Adam Curry is going to charge for the CastBlaster software! That is so very UNCOOL! It’l be only $15 but still… after all the free and open software that was provided by the community to make this podcast thing happening this is a strange thing todo. I also am curious if no open-source software / GPL licensed software is used to build this blastcaster software on??
BTW, is this software named after a gun?

EarthCore is a podcast (only) novel!

Podiobooks is really an interesting use of podcasting, uhhh binary syndication

Something started flowering again in my garden. Don’t know what it is but it looks realy nice and fresh.

Came across the ‘techsitepodcasts.com’ website which has all the nerdy feeds for you.
If you want them all they got a handy opml-file for you to import them all at once.

Just a thought for a new podshow (podcast): Podgun, i feel the need, the need for feed!

I allready bought a cigar, all i need is a Moose and a Maverick to tell them: “You two characters are going to Podgun!”
