DaveCast #16: Mac of the web
I wrote a blog post today about UI on the web.
An important piece that could use some elaboration.
So I did a podcast.
The premise: The web is where the PC industry was before the Mac. No standard UIs. Big opportunity.

I love to follow Hacker News, and I have an RSS feed for it that you're welcome to use. I love it because it's a mix of eclectic, esoteric and important links. Where TechMeme is centered on the wars between the tech giants, and the personalities of the mega-rich, Hacker News wanders into the nooks and crannies of tech, and sometimes far off-topic into areas of human interest. As a human being who loves tech, Hacker News hits a very sweet spot.

DaveCast #11 -- The Wolf Blitzer Problem
Krugman totally nails it in this blog post.
The problem isn't that the Republicans are so nasty.
The problem is that the press won't report what's actually happening. They only know how to report on a certain kind of conflict.
The only thing we can do now to save ourselves is to reform the way we get our information, and it has to be done fast. No time to waste.
That's what this 16-minute podcast is about.
Hope you enjoy.

DaveCast #8
The next in a series of podcasts about stuff going on in my nerdly world. Or is that worldly nerd? I have no idea.
In this one I decide to take the bull by the horns, and start to explain why the new approach to outlining is working out so well for me, this time.
The last ten years have been the era of Edit This Page. Now we're escaping the limits of the page, and bouncing around between whole sites in a single document.
When our machines grew to 1/2 gig of memo ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
DaveCast #7
The seventh in a series.
This one is about why I opted-out of Dropbox now, and why they might be cleaning up their TOS, and what that might mean for users.
Also lots of activity today on the world outline project.
The features should roll out a lot more quickly now, most of the foundation work is done. Lots of cleanups and tie-offs. And docs.

DaveCast #6
Second podcast in 9 hours.
Who thought I would have so much to say!
Number 6 is about Joe Hewitt, Guy Kawasaki, win-wins, and real evangelism.
It's possible for a developer to love the platform vendor and vice versa. But you need a front-man like Guy Kawasaki and a behind-scenes guy like Mike Boich. Apple had both in 1984, and together they invented technology evangelism.
Since then evangelism has come to mean bullying or pontificating or being a goon squad ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Last night's DaveCast (Number 5)
Quick note with a pointer to last night's DaveCast, the fifth.
In this podcast, I explain why I'm doing these podcasts, now. Quick answer, to support the innovative work my buddy Adam Curry is doing with his community. We're having fun creating an amateur talk radio network based on two cool technologies: Dropbox, and my own Blork (which is both a podcaster and catcher, in addition to being an RSS-based blogging tool).

DaveCast #4 -- Should you go to college?
I wasn't sure if I'd do this on a Saturday, but it turns out I had something to say that fit the podcast format better than the blogpost format.

Daily podcast, Day 2
I said I'd do a daily podcast and by dang, I mean to do it.
I also do a daily bike ride, and yesterday was no exception.
Except I didn't blog about it. Ooops. In case I forget one, if you want, you can follow my workouts on DailyMile. Afraid they're getting pretty predictable, not much to say every time. Plus there's the podcast.

DaveCast? What??
In a conference call yesterday I said I'd do a podcast more regularly.
So here's the first installment of what I'm calling DaveCast for lack of a more imaginative name.
BTW, my revelation for the day is Negative Time To Live, which is part of the DNS protocol. Until yesterday I didn't know it existed. I assumed that every time I do a DNS lookup I get a fresh bit of data from the authority on the name. I didn't know that servers could cache the negative result.

Lessons from the demise of NewsweekEarlier: "What's killing the news business: A belief in corporations."
In yesterday's RBTN, we talked about the demise of Newsweek. Couldn't something more creative be done with the momentum behind the name? But the people at Newsweek could never contemplate what will rise in its place.
We tend to believe corporations solve problems but the evidence says otherwise. Corporations rise from entrepreneurship, get established, defend their turf, and give way to new corporations that rise from en ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |

A podcast about loopsEvery once in a while a podcast comes together in a way you couldn't have scripted.
That happened on Monday in the 49th episode of Rebooting the News.
If you have 45 minutes, it's worth a listen, from beginning to end (it's important to hear how it ends).

Greetings from Park CityI've already done 260 miles today.
Going to try to get to Cheyenne, which is another 419 miles, but it doesn't seem likely I'll get there, esp because I lost an hour due to time zone change. I also mailed my tax returns in Wendover, UT and otherwise dawdled (and got a late start).
Park City is cool because it has a Starbucks where I can get a reasonably high-speed connection so I can add the metadata to our Rebooting The News podcast and re-upload. It's a good one. I want to get it out ther ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |

I got a DROIDI had to do it. Went down to the Verizon store in El Cerrito and put down $350 and bought the $99 per month unlimited texting plan. Took it home, fell in love. It really is beautiful. I'm an iPhone user who loves the esthetics of the iPhone. The DROID is different, but also very nice.
I'm sure there will be annoyances, always are, but the first-time experience is great.
The web browser display is large enough to be usable. The gestures that work on the iPhone don't work on the DROID.

Random travel notesI chose to travel with my newish 13 inch MacBook Pro instead of my newish Asus Eee PC. It's just a one-day trip to LA and I figured I wouldn't be needing the 8-hour battery, but there is a fundamental difference between the two computers. With the MacBook I'm always looking for a power outlet. With the Asus, you know you're going to make it all the way without a charge, so you can relax about power. Apple may think they have the battery issue licked, but they don't. And the fact that you ca ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Bruce Sterling at RebootBruce Sterling gave a wonderful talk at the Reboot Conference this summer in Copenhagen. At the beginning of the talk I wanted to strangle him, but as it progressed, it made more and more sense. By the end I thought it was one of the best speeches I'd ever heard, a story that I think everyone should hear. I've made an MP3 of his talk because I want to make it available to people in my family as a podcast. I hope Bruce and the people at Reboot don't mind.

Craigslist is progressI don't think I've ever written about Craigslist here.
Probably because I don't spend much time thinking about it, or worrying about it. But I know that some people do, for example Terry Gross, the host of NPR's Fresh Air. It comes up when people talk about the Internet destroying things that matter, like the classified ads in newspapers. At one point in an interview with Wired editor Chris Anderson she asks, in a bewildered way, what happened. She was saying it was a shame that Craigslist ...

A little glimpse inside the news industry's mind: the recent recommendations of the American Press Institute. Charge for news, go after the aggregators, police fair use, look to consumers because the advertiser doesn't pay the bills anymore. A suicide pact, Dan Conover says.

Gadget talk with ScobleI was browsing FriendFeed yesterday and saw Scoble had started a thread on the new Kindle, which was being dismissed by the tech press as a "Hail Mary pass" to save the news industry.
