Microsoft Standard: Zune’s Own Currency
Posted on September 29, 2006 by Richard
Funniest thing I’ve seen today.
“If you want to buy a song individually it’ll cost you 79 Microsoft Points (or 99 cents).”
From Zune Insider.
Looks like Microsoft are creating their own currency.
If ever there was a time to stick to a standard, the US dollar was it .

One Laptop per Child
Posted on September 29, 2006 by Richard
I just dropped my daughter at my mum’s house. They’ll hang out for the day, and probably watch a lot of dumbo.
On the way back I listened to a TED presentation by Nicholas Negroponte.
I owe a lot to Negroponte. He inspired my recent career moves with his Being Digital book, and articles in Wired. So [...]

A Swarm of Angels: Cinema 2.0
Posted on September 27, 2006 by Richard
I love movies. Escaping to a cinema with a tub of popcorn or packet of Maltesers is a favourite pass-time. And, by now, readers will know I love community built projects. So when I found A Swarm of Angels I fell in love.
A Swarm of Angels is about making a £1 million movie and giving [...]

A Single Flower Meme
Posted on September 27, 2006 by Richard
A friend of mine, and ex-Sun employee, sent me a link a few weeks back and asked me to have a look at a personal project he’d been working on. It’s one of those things that you realise you have to throw your support behind, because it’s such a great cause.
A couple of months ago [...]

My Next-Big-Thing Predictions Are Almost Old News
Posted on September 27, 2006 by Richard
At a recent presentation I was asked what the next big thing was. I covered a few areas, like virtual reality, the death of linear television, citizen media, locality, and mobility.
Today, after a few of Nokia’s announcements, I’m reminded that these aren’t nearly as far away as I thought. As pointed out on GigaOm, the [...]

ScobleShow: Competing with Tight T-Shirts
Posted on September 26, 2006 by Richard
Robert Scoble (the Scobelizer), ex-Microsoft, has literally just launched his new video podcast: ScobleShow. He showed a teaser the other day, which looked like it had some great material.
What will be interesting to see–I’m still downloading as I’m sure the demand is already high–is how Scoble uses the medium. In many cases video podcasts fall [...]

Introduction to Podcasts (Sidebars)
Posted on September 24, 2006 by Richard
A What-Cast?
The actual term podcast wasn’t used to describe the audio shows that many of the early adopters recorded. There were many discussions on Internet forums and weblogs about what the technology should be called, including “asynchronous bundles of passion” by Dave Slusher. It wasn’t until September 2004; a month after Adam Curry had released [...]

Introduction to Podcasts (Part 3)
Posted on September 24, 2006 by Richard
Filling the Podosphere
A couple of months later Adam Curry was creating a show on the road, literally. On an October morning he was recording a Daily Source Code as he was driving his car. The hum of the tires on the road was broken by a shrill honk of a horn in the background, interrupting [...]

Introduction to Podcasts (Part 2)
Posted on September 24, 2006 by Richard
The History of Podcasting
In some respects suggesting that podcasting has a history is amusing; the term has only been around since late 2004. The concept however has been brewing for several years and a number of people contributed to its creation.
The Internet has allowed many movements to occur in the last decade, and there is [...]
