Pod 'casts from the past

Just found this.

He's the man

Kim Cameron's IdentityBlog is up. It rocks.

Bonus link: A pile of also terrific stuff from Craig Burton, who is back in the house (he's been missed, big time). I love this little aside:

I was doing some catching up on blogs and I read Scoble's Defending Ballmer piece. I don't care all that much about what Ballmer said, Steve is a bully. A much more subdued one than he used to be but a bully none the less. But I digress. I want to make a point about patents. Scoble you sound whiney defending Ballmer.

I love Scoble too. So, a note to Robert: getting called out by Craig is a True Grace. Take the time (OSCon 2001) Craig sat next to me while I was blogging Mundie vs. Tiemann, live. Craig watched quietly, observed the large delta between my reportage and its subject, and wrote Dropping Bloggin' Packets. I was nailed. And I haven't reported that way since. No point anyway, especially when folks like Heath Row and Denise Howell are around.

Hear see

Peter Hirshberg's weblog on disruptive culture and technology is now officially operating from its killer domain name: atomicbomb.com. His latest post includes links to three killer videos:

NYBlogs - The Movie Shoe Shine Man: NYBlogs the sequel Digital Convergence - 1994

They are all funnier'n shit. Humbling, too, since the first two pretty much prove that even A-List blogging is somewhere south of Z on the list of What Most People Know a Damn Thing About. The third video, which Peter and Bob Kalsey produced for Bill Gates in 1993, is (in addition to being hilarious and extremely well-produced) is also (gulp) mostly prophetic. Say Mom, Windows for Radio means more enjoyment and greater ease of use for the whole family!

Radio is Conversation, cont'd

Just learned from Paul Jones that The State of Things, at noon today, Eastern time, on WUNC radio (my fave NPR station), will visit the subject of cross-campus sister station WXYC's ten years of webcasting. Three of the panelists (including Paul) were also on the November 7 anniversary webcast (podcast here).

Thomas at Smart Mobs has much more on the whole subject. Also this from Ruby's Rants.

There's a lot to learn from that much long-term success.

Bonus link: Check out the lookup we now get of WXYC on Technorati. Much improving, there. Check out "Favelets" too. Great idea.

Even better practices

From Hugh MacLeod, who is writing and drawing the most valuable words and pictures in the practices soon to be formerly known as "branding", "marketing" and "advertising":

I changed the term from "Metaphorical Capital" to "Expressive Capital". Simpler to understand. Also, "Metaphorical Capital" has a double meaning which I think would lose a few folk along the way. Work in progress etc.

Bonus link: Preservation Agents.

Loic is a “Change Agent”, probably one of the better-known ones in France. But somehow the “Preservation Agents” seem a lot more numerous. A lot more. And you get the feeling the place is run for the benfit of the latter, rather than for the benefit of folk like Loic.
