Convergence of technology

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

iPodder looks like a bit of technology that might prove to be very, very useful. I installed it on my work PC and I envision using it to download audio content, like Adam Curry’s daily source code, for example. I can set the program to download the RSS enclosures overnight, and add them to my WMP playlist, and then listen to them as I work during the day. You can do the same, with WMP or iTunes, or you can have it downloaded directly to an iPod or other MP3 player and take the content with you. The site even has a list of shows that are currently available using the RSS enclosures.

Here’s hoping that soon we’ll all have a bunch of RSS-fed, “podcasts” to choose from!

Update: Just listening to Dave Slusher’s Evil Genius Chronicles, who described the format of guys talking about technology as “more interesting than it sounds”. That’s about true of his show. Using RSS, possibly BitTorrent and MP3 players, etc. may just start to spread into other types of radio shows, giving us all many new voices to listen to. There’s some real potential here…

    Doesn’t appear as though anything major has been awaiting my arrival, with the exception of the failed hard drive that I already knew about last week. Replacement part should be in tomorrow so that will take care of that. I still have quite a bit of work that needs to get done over the next…

    Scoble pointed to this story about the possibility of a Pocket PC pricewar just in time for Christmas. Given all the discussion we’ve had around here concerning PocketPC and Palm, it’s probably worth noting to someone planning to buy me a Christmas gift. 🙂 By the way, I think the deciding factor between PocketPc and…

    Finally felt well enough today to make the trip out to the Apple Store with Angela to look into getting her eMac. We get there and take a look at the one model of eMac that they have, which was basically what she wanted with some customizations, like upgrading the RAM and installing the Airport…

    Thanks go out to Brad and Eddie for letting me know that Mozilla 1.3 was just released. Also thanks to Chris for letting me know that’s he’s running 1.2.1 and not having the same problem with the crashes. (Don’t we have such a helpful bunch around here?) Must be something on this PC. I’m going…
