I was goofing around in Audacity using some commentary from Dan Klass @ The Bitterest Pill and this was the output: 2005-Is-The-Year-Of-The-Podcast.mp3 (215.5K).
I posted it to OpenPodcast.org, and I played it in my own Tech Rag Tear Out #20.
Much to my surprise, it morning it showed up in Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code 2005-02-28.
If it shows up anywhere else, please let me know.

The link fests (aka "human pre-processor aggregrator of the aggregations") appear to be pretty well received if I am to believe my Feedster data reports. So, here is another one …

This is your Tech Tidbits Daily for Monday, Feb. 28th, 2005. Do you or does your development staff write Java programs? If so, then you probably need to make sure you are either utilizing or evaluating the host of tools and capabilities being distributed via the Eclipse Foundation at Eclipse.org. The core tool being offered here is an open-source integrated development environment (IDE), and they have recently gotten new support from Sybase & BEA; and continue to have a great deal of support from Red Hat and IBM, to name a few. There are also tools and plug-ins for other software development languages being worked on. For

Forbes published for 28Feb05 has a great op-ed piece by William Bladwin on the "public funding dangers" of convention centers, stadiums, etc. The argument against such endeavors utilized one of my favorite economist (even if he is French) – Frederic Bastiat. If you have never heard of Bastiat, then you should read "The Law."
Anyway … this is a great paragraph …
"Bastiat has been dead for 155 years, but he knew all about multipliers. His acerbic take on the matter is called the Broken Window Fallacy. In this parable a mischievous boy breaks a shopkeeper’s window. That provides work for the glazier, who puts the money back in to circulation, and the money keeps going around and around, to the point where the townspeople are all but rejoicing at the vandalism. Bastiat points out the fallacy: You’ve forgotten that money spent on the window is money the shopkeeper might otherwise have spent at the cobbler. Breaking windows does not enrich the town."

I got the latest Crutchfield.com catalog in the mail yesterday. If you don’t know, this company sells audio equipment for your vehicle, and more recently for the home. I have bought stuff from them in the past and I’d consider myself a satisfied customer.
Anyway … I was hoping to see something about podcasting in the catalog. But I didn’t see anything. The reason I am interested, is that "if/when" they do, podcasting has taken another major step forward as a medium for the mainstream. It will happen, I guess I should be patient.
I did see one unit that was kinda interesting — OmniFi DMP1 (car) and DMS1 (home) … this is a plug-in unit that offers 20-GBs of storage that has a USB interface, and an optional Wi-Fi receiver (DWL-121) so you could actually sync your music collection with your vehicle in the garage.
