Some podcasts of potential interest …
Dave Winer’s Morning Coffee Notes from 29Mar05 has an interview with his father, Dr. Leon Winer. This is an amazingly cool podcast. I highly recommend it. There is ton of good information in this interview about outlining, thinking, and organizing at an abstracted but still very practical level. Excellent!
- Phil Windley interviews Kent
Seamons under the topic of "Negotiating Trust" [Phil does an amazing job of getting Kent to scope out the problem, outline a high-level architecture to solve it, and then describe a ‘working’ system that is testing out these ideas] - "Sound Policy" with Denise Howell examines Google’s controversial AutoLink feature with Cory Doctorow, Robert Scoble and Martin Schwimmer.
- Dave Slusher does a great job interviewing John Buckman from Magnitune Records in his series Voices In Your Head
Robert Scoble notes that "John
Durant was interviewed on the second Office Zealot’s Podcast."Xeni Jardin @ BoingBoing was
interviewed on Richard Giles’ Australia-based podcast radio program "The Gadget
Show."Boing Boing also points out that Ewan Spence recorded a ton of interviews at eTech. This link should get the audio.
Eric Mack has David Allen in his digital sandbox, and then records a podcast.

Slashdot via "an
anonymous reader" posted:"The Globe and Mail reports that ‘A new report conducted
by market research firm Info-Tech Research Group says 95 per cent of information
technology groups are not delivering some number of projects on time or to the
full satisfaction of the business executive.’The article goes on to discuss the
reasons for this pervasive (perceived?) problem.The article mentions
Info-Tech’s reasons: unrealistic time frames, staff shortages, and poorly
defined project scope.However, the article’s author lays the blame with
vendors." -

An interesting press release (especially if you are a Cold War historical buff like myself) has been released from the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office.
A snippet:
He is Robert C. Snoddy of Roseburg, Ore.
Snoddy and his pilot, Norman A. Schwartz, took off from an airfield near Seoul, South Korea, on Nov. 29, 1952, with two other crewmembers to extract a CIA operative from China. The mission in the Jilin province of northeast China was planned to pick up the agent on the ground with an airborne extraction system.
Unfortunately, the Chinese had compromised the agent on the ground, and when the C-47 aircraft flew over the pickup point it was shot down by hostile ground fire. Snoddy and Schwartz were reportedly killed, and two other crewmembers, Richard G. Fecteau and John T. Downey, were captured by the Chinese and held until 1971 and 1973, respectively.
For years the U.S. government asked the Chinese for information related to the fates of Snoddy and Schwartz. The Chinese had in 1972 acknowledged to President Ford that the two had died in the crash and were buried near the site but that it was impossible to locate their remains.
