Off to Tahoe this weekend.
Unlike most of my friends, I don't have an iPod to bring, mostly because
I don't like the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on an MP3 player and
then losing it.
But I am increasingly fascinated by Podcasting these days, almost enough
to waste a bunch of perfectly good money on an iPod, heh.
Podcasting is basically a system for subscribing your iPod to special
radio shows. The shows can be created and distributed by amateurs, which is
what makes the technology exciting. Everything is delivered over the
Internet. The whole thing is handled seamlessly by a program like ipodder.
Dan Bricklin, the inventor of VisiCalc, has a good column on
all this.
