Last night, I popped by the Acadia Cafe to update their podcast settings – it’s been moved to AcadiaCast.com. While testing everything out, Ted surprised me with a pint of Surly Brewing’s new Coffee Bender.
It’s a fantastic beer, one that Omar hinted at during our podcast. The most complex of all Surly’s beers – in addition to their signature hoppiness, and Bender’s oatmeal, the coffee adds a chocolate finish and a contemplative nature to the pint.
If you’ve seen the ‘share’ link at the bottom of the posts on the website (not so much in the RSS feed), and like the discrete ease to email, post to Digg.com, del.icio.us, etc, well, now you can have it too.
I’m making the WP-PostShare plugin available for public download.
Share and enjoy.
Not that I’ve listened to any of the standard fare from the The Hollywood Podcast, but the Unkempt series is superb. Superb.
This series is what podcasting is made for. These stories couldn’t be told in any other form. These stories are more intimate and more entertaining than any of the ‘Your Name Here Show’ podcasts.
Be warned, these stories are not for the easily offended (why they haven’t been added to the Podcast Picks list.)
Thanks Tim – and good luck on the next 2 months.
AmigoFish is getting real smart.
Despite my insistence that I’m not interested in fiction, science or otherwise, The Friendly Fish sent over a mind-blowing conversation between Rick Kleffel and Cory Doctorow on our post-scarcity society. Listen here
It’s the latest addition to Garrick’s Podcast Picks List.
PopSci Podcast #14: Jonathan Coulton asks Bruce Schneier about the risks of snakes on a plane.
When I drew this up earlier this today, all I had was a sentiment. Nothing in the way of an explanation – though, I suspect you know which side of the cartoon I fall on.
Since then, this tasty bit rolled through the attention stream:
I had a very strange conversation earlier this week. On the other side of the table was someone trying to figure out how to use local weblogs and podcasts to build pre-release buzz for a movie no one’s seen yet.
If we assume this site and other bloggy publications are extensions of our everyday word-o-mouth, then it’s tough to recommend something you’ve had no experience with. That said, I wasn’t clear on what the movie was about. The existing materials didn’t help, nor was the backstory inherently compelling – best I could glean was something like Lost in La Mancha on a much, much smaller scale (That’s my everyday life).
Which brings me to a point about a movie Jen still doesn’t believe is real:
While I’m completely behind Karl’s sentiment – the movie doesn’t really matter.
We all know, instinctively, intuitively, what kind of movie Snakes on a Plane is. It’s all in the title. The movie didn’t even have to be made. That’s the power of it. That’s why it’s compelling – 105 minutes, millions of dollars, plot line, all compressed into 4 words.
See the movie? Why? I’ve already changed my MySpace page to Sharks on a Tractor (thanks Conan O’Brien).
. Terry’s got other tasty bits in there as well.
I’d like to thank Seth Godin for succinctly wrapping this post up for me.

Rich Huelskamp built a 100% off-grid, renewable-energy home down in Red Wing, MN. He and I talk about how he got his home down from the average 25kWh/day to 6. Along the way, he goes through the steps to making a urban/suburban home more efficient.
If you’re looking to replace your home’s appliances, Rich recommends picking from ACEEE.org’s list of most energy efficient appliances
