I am listening to Dave Winers podcast. It’s a very cool concept. I would love to try posting one of my own. The thought of having to listen to myself to check the file isn’t too attractive to me. It’s also a bit of a tough sell to get folks to download such a large file, although the podcasting software makes it a little easier. Part of the success of blogs has been in the way that they have a large presence in search engines. Audioblogs won’t get the same mindshare from the search engines, as far as i can tell. Of course RSS enclosures and aggregators will make that job much easier.

The most interesting thing to me is that today commercial radio is so bad, that this clunky medium could really catch on.

Have I mentioned I want an iPod?

One more thing, if NPR or MPR would have podcasts available for their members I would sign up immediately.

It’s amazing to me what short shrift the constitution gets in the Presidential race. This amazing document defined the President’s role and responsibilities, the role of the federal government, and the limits the role of government can play in an individual’s life, yet the candidates don’t even spend five minutes discussing their views about this document. Sometimes I think politicians are embarrassed about that document, wishing those guys hadn’t written it down.

Good fences make good neighbors.

The year at the Lake, the neighbor has really cleaned up his property. It is a real improvement.
