it's really hard to find new, good podcasts. Just went through 2 pages of search results here at FriendFeed and didn't find anything I wanted to listen to more than Stack Overflow and twit. Those i already knew about. :( What's your iTunes podcast window look like? hint hint, suggestions?

My one must-have podcast is Danny Sullivan's SearchCast: http://dailysearchcast.com/
- Matt Cutts
I listen to the Gillmor Gang (I'll be on tomorrow at 1 p.m. from China, by the way) and TWiT. Otherwise I "snack" on other audio shows here and there.
- Robert Scoble
NY Times Front Page, Wall Street Journal Tech News Briefing (both are good first thing in the morning), NewsGang Live / Gillmor Gang. Leo Laporte has a few good ones like TWiT, MacBreak Weekly, Windows Weekly, Security Now.
- Rolf Schewe
I feel bad for not listening to TWiT very much while everyone else does. It is in my podcatcher but I almost always listen to it part way and then move on. The podcast is a lot of fun, but it just feels like BOL got the same things already and talked about them days earlier. I have a lot of podcasts (I do love NPR and I've found a number of great book world and fiction podcasts) and I'd rather listen to something new.
- Aram Zucker-Scharff

Aram: I understand that. I don't get to all of them either. usually I just listen to the ones that get talked about on Twitter or FriendFeed. Speaking of which, http://www.fastcompany.tv is my video podcast.

These are all great suggestions -- I just scarfed up a mess of them and added them to iTunes. Thanks!

"WFMU's Best Show On WFMU" is HILARIOUS! I also like Studio 360 and many of the ones mentioned above.

In the same vein as WFMU are the podcasts from RESONANCE FM, "the art of listening"

Oh my - where's NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me", and NPR's Car Talk, and Leo's "Security Now!" podcast? And if you're not only twisted, but actually sprained, check out Merlin Mann's podcast "You Look Nice Today".

If you are into Social media, PR and communication, then check out For Immediate Release (FIR). Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson host this bi-weekly podcast and it is without a doubt the best communications podcast out there.

"The music industry has taken some extreme measures to counter piracy, but it hasn’t found the silver bullet yet. The key is to come up with a service that will fulfill the needs of music lovers, and one that would even be embraced by the most hardcore pirate. With Spotify, this might just become possible."

Spotify is fantastic. This has seriously prevented me from downloading music that I would have other wise pirated. The enormous selection of music is hard to beat and the software is smooth and pleasing. They just need to work out the regional issues.

Wally Punsapy, Michael R. Bernstein, Toni @ NavinoT and 3 other people liked this
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa... : In really rough numbers, IE 6 has been losing about 20 points per year. That's freefall! Just take a look at that line and what it represents and then ask yourself, "what can I do to kill off IE 6?"
- arjo
Hear hear.
- Adam Collins
I'd love nothing more than to drop IE6 support, but as a library/tool developer, I have little choice but to support it, at least through another year or so. Graphs like this are usually either from a single site, or from a wide variety of sites, and fail to capture the fact that high percentages of corporate users are still on IE6, which makes it strictly required for a lot of products.
- Joel Webber
I'd love to drop IE6 support. But I need to keep my job.

oh, but i think apple already started doing this though too.

Uh oh... my 120GB fired up fine this morning. Hope my 30 survived. EDIT: Yup, my 30 is bricked. /sigh
- John Denver
Hey! This happened to my 30 last night! "Hard reset" isn't really possible on these as they have no reset button, but you're supposed to be able to hold down "back" and "up" until they reset. Mine didn't, so I left it for the battery to drain overnight. We'll see if it starts up. You'll hear it here on FriendFeed first if/when it does. :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
So as expected, mine was fully drained this morning. Plugged it in and got the full screen power plug icon indicating it's charging/plugged in. Went away for 20-30 minutes, came back, and it's once again stuck on the Zune logo screen and won't respond to keypresses. Maybe this is MS's way of generating buzz for a Zune phone the week before CES.
- Ken Sheppardson
Confused. The conventional wisdom is that Microsoft can't give Zunes away -- so this isn't really affecting anybody, right? Either it's no big deal, or maybe the conventional wisdom is... wrong?
- Sprague D
HA! Mark.
- Eric
@Mark Someone told me that if you play "Undercover Angel" on a Zune with the volume turned all the way down you can hear Cheney saying, "I am your father, Luke."

It's sure not great PR for them. It can be overcome if they are transparent about the problem and supply an easy fix for users. Apple has had their share of PR fails with the iPod too.

had a great time tonight shooting industrial stuff near Long Beach with David Sommars. Unfortunately we ended up being hassled while shooting three times. Including having the Long Beach Harbor police run background checks on us and telling us that we were not allowed to shoot from a perfectly legal public sidewalk.

I got photos of the cops though which will be usefull for the blog post on the issue forthcoming.
- Thomas Hawk
Where you near Long Beach Harbor? Long Beach harbor is pretty well guarded since it is one of the largest ports in America. It's a security concern...too bad!

Oh, and also finally shot the mona (museum of neon art) today as well. Highly recommended. Jeremy, you especially would have loved that place.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, where is the MONA? I live in LA and have never heard of it. :(

I've got to get down to LA again soon. It's been way too long. I'm looking forward to seeing your shots from this trip.

Downtown L.A. On 4th. If you like neon signs it's awesome.
- Thomas Hawk
Just curious, is the Mona sane with their photo policy? When a Dan Flavin show came to the MCA here in Chicago a few years ago, all photography was banned. Took a few dozen photos anyway, seemingly out of spite. I don't think neon sculptures would be too damaged by photography.
- Seth Anderson
Thanks...will check it out. Looking forward to seeing your work too.
- Derrick
The mona's photography policy is great. I probably shot 600 photos in the small museum over the course of an hour and a half. They were totally cool with it. A great place.

How long has the mona museum been around? 'never heard of it...hmmm

It's disturbing how many times in the last two months alone that someone has hassled/called the police simply because I wanted to take pictures from public property. Really, is disheartening.

Trebor, shooting industrial sites from a public sidewalk is neither illegal or renegade. You have your facts wrong in this one.

Sebastian, I'm working on a blog post on this that I think I'll run with some photos later today. I've tried to contact the Long Beach Harbor Patrol but haven't had much success. I'm going to try and call them later today to get a more definitive statement on what authority they state to eject photographers from the port and once I hear back post more details on the incident.

"C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C. "
