Recommended Podcasts To Listen To Via Google Reader

I have created a "Recommended Podcasts from sholden.typepad.com" site and RSS feed based on my research from my last post on this topic.

podcast, comment, recommend, podcasting, rss, technewsradio, google, readerIt seems to work pretty well for my workflow and it helps to be able to get links back to the individual podcast so I can put them into TechNewsRadio recommendation podcasts.

Only thing missing is a good comment option for myself on why I liked the podcast. I’d really like to be able to add that as an option.

Investigating Options For Commenting On Specific Podcast Episodes

July 21, 2007

+

+

+

+

+

+

I have been wanting to come up with a quick way to comment on specific podcasts that I’ve been listening to. In a recent brainstorming session with a friend we considered that maybe Apple iTunes was keeping the RSS referral post link in the meta data of the iTunes music library XML.

Unfortunately after digging into the XML file and looking at what iTunes exposes to AppleScript, it doesn’t appear to work.

Maybe I should output the podcast OPML file I have from iTunes, and use something like Google Reader to manage my options for specific podcast episode commenting. Thoughts?!?

Book Reviews: Dead Sea Scrolls, Google, Freemasonry

June 30, 2007

+

+

+

+

+

+
I finished reading several potentially interesting books during our recent family vacation trip to Vashon Island, WA:
I really have to recommend the Fields book on the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is very well documented and historically interesting – plus it has some great pictures. Part of the Dead Sea Scrolls are on display in San Diego (through December 2007) which is the main reason I picked up the book.

The Google book is also recommended for those interested in technology, Internet history, and business & organizational ideas. I personally only had a minor understanding of the history, technologies, and personalities related to Google so I found this book very interesting.

The Freemasonry book was entertaining but nothing spectacular. I enjoyed it because my father and his father were Masons, and I learned a lot about what they probably went through. The background history was interesting and I enjoyed the humor of the author.
