With the new Paris Hilton podcast, Warner Brother’s is creating their own "Paris Hilton podcast" catching client, setup to get you that podcast ‘quickly and easily’ with the user only having to push install.
Also … Wired notes that Newsgator is working with various news organizations to do something similar for RSS feeds.

ORIGINAL POST (04-07-19): Getting money directly to those who most need it to create "business" and "personal opportunity" is turning out to be success vice historical "aid" programs: Sam Daley-Harris & Marshall Saunders.
UPDATE: Forbes published for April 19, 2005 has an article entitled "Up From The Rubble: Can $2000 loans help revive a war-torn economy? Entrepreneurs in Bosnia and Herzegovina are putting microfinance to the test" by Kerry A. Dolan.

This is your Tech Tidbits Daily for Wednesday, April 6th, 2005. Today’s podcast contains one item of potential interest and one listener feedback.
The first is a pointer to a great resource if you are still doing paper planning which in some case is more efficient than trying to accomplish completely digital. Douglas Johnson has created a very complete "do-it-yourself" (DIY) planner kit with over 50+ templates that leverages some of the personal productivity concepts and ideas from Stephen Covey’s Seven-Habits of Highly Effective People and David Allen’s Getting Things Done. They have been released under Creative Commons license. I have downloaded these and I am evaluating how I might be able to use them.
Next up is an audio comment from Paul at ThePoint Podcast. I do really appreciate all the help Paul has been giving me in getting my audio sounding as well as it does. If you have questions about audio setups or other audio consulting needs, then I highly recommend contacting Paul. He is a pro.

This is your Tech Tidbits Daily for Tuesday, April 5th, 2005. Today’s podcast contains two items of potential interest from Military & Aerospace Electronics published for March 2005 and one listener feedback:
- The first is an article that highlights a recent demonstration of mobile communications at Fort Gordon, Georgia for a Department of Defense initiative called Command and Control On-The-Move. Using some new equipment and techniques from ViaSat the demo was able to show equivalent DSL connections (3-mbps downstream; 256-kbps upstream) to a moving Humvee using secure encryption devices. The key networking protocols utilized to accomplish this include: Paired Carrier Multiple Access (PCMA) and Code Reuse Multiple Access (CRMA).
- The second is a very detailed article on a new initiative by German-based Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration to take a cubic "eGrain sensor" from 2.6-cm per side down to 1-cm per side by late 2005 through a series of iterative steps. The eventual goal of this project is to get a sensor which needs to be able to offer not only sensing (like heat or frequency) but also communications and power down to a 5-mm cube form factor that is also low-cost to produce. The article did not have an estimated time-line for the 5-mm device, but the article did note that there are significant technology challenges laying ahead in processing and controlling large numbers of deployed sensor devices.

More podcasting news … I hope this isn’t a bore …
Craig Patchett does a great job at doing some analysis of the recent Pew Internet Research Report on Podcasting.
After a quick scan of what is available in the report online, and reading of Craig’s post, I have to agree with Craig’s initial analysis.
The podcasting email lists and forums are all a buzz with opinions right and left.
TechPodcasts.com members have been discussing "stats" for the last week even before the report. The data depending on one’s distribution architecture is elusive at best but for others there is an abundance that makes analysis difficult.

This is your Tech Tidbits Daily for Monday, April 4th, 2005. Today’s podcast contains three items of potential interest and one listener feedback:
- The first is from United Kingdom’s Guardian published back on 17-Mar-05. There is a research project from Japan’s NTT called "RedTraction" that is experimenting with making it possible to send data over a person’s skin at rates up to 2Mbps. One potential option highlighted in the article is having your MP3 player attached at your hip sending sound data to your headphones using your skin. Pretty interesting …
- The second is from Ipswitch. They have announced an update to their COAST WebMaster 7 tool that lets you monitor the status of websites and web applications beyond just a standard ping or port availability. This new release can also be integrated into their very useful network monitoring tool WhatsUp Professional.
- The third item is from the Creative Common’s weblog where they note that Yahoo! search index is now providing customized search interfaces of Creative Commons licensed media, and they have extended this customized search to their freely available integrated Web Search API so that other developers can leverage this information.
