Using Search Engines and Tags to Get A Specific Someone’s Attention
Scoble pointed out this Google search for Susan Dumais, look at the ad in the right-hand column. It’s less of an ad and more of a unique recruiting method.

WP-iPodCatter Now v1.0
I’ve cleaned up a few things based on the feedback from the 0.9a version, and tweaked a couple more things. Decided “0.9” wasn’t as round a version as I’d like and v1.0 felt better. The Biggest Changes: – Comment-cast is now a checkbox option (there were some problems with it being supported on earlier versions …
House is Better than Boston Legal

Good Thing The Spoonbridge is Downtown
David Bowies’ ChangesBowie came up this afternoon on the shuffle. Made me feel like visiting the Walker or some other contemporary art museum and browsing through their pop art collection. Specifically, some Odenburg and Lichtenstein. No Warhol though. Save that for the Lou Reed.
Why Use Copyrighted Music in a Podcast?
Since I started podcasting nearly a year ago, there’s always been the question of how best to include music in a podcast. Personally, I’ve found it adds too much production time and I frequently fast-forward over songs in other podcasts anyway. The CARP license that destroyed webcasting doesn’t quite fit.
