podcast = good

Okay, I'm only a little behind the curve on this one: podcasting is a big deal. As Dave W said today:

If you want to understand podcasting, get an iPod, get the software, subscribe to some feeds. Then go for a drive, ride a subway or an airplane, take a walk, do something away from the computer and take the iPod with you. Listen to one of the new programs. Then let me know if it works.

I do, I have, I did, I did. I did, I did, I did. I did. It does. I listended to a few minutes of Adam driving around Amsterdam listening to the radio. Then I listened to all of Dave's 10/7 morning coffee notes. I got it, loud and clear.

Okay, it's cool. So already with the wish list. I wish that...

1. ...I could deep link from here into the audio. Dave said some stuff around 25:00 minutes in, about how Steve Jobs is humble but Bill Gates is not, and I want to point to that little segment so you can hear it right now. What's the metadata structure and linking model for media blobs? How do we do trackbacks on podcasts?

Okay, it's a short list. I really have to do work now.
