Friday, July 11th, 2008
So much of my media consumption these days is made up of podcasts that I’ve decided to keep a kind of a scrapbook here on Mediaczar. Obviously the problem is that you can’t deeplink into a video or a audio file, so I’m crudely chopping the bits out that I like, and using the Anarchy Media Player plugin to host them here.
This is probably contravening all sorts of copyright laws. Fingers crossed, eh? I’m hoping it counts as fair use.
Here’s a short extract from TWiT (The Week in Tech, a popular podcast that I follow) where Leo Laporte (TWiT), Jason Calacanis (Mahalo), Tom Merritt (C|Net), and Dwight Silverman (Houston Chronicle) discuss briefly how it feels to be chased by PRs.

OK – I’m not sure about the “thousands”, but Marshall Kirkpatrick’s article shows how you can use a combination of tools and tricks to get the most out of your RSS feeds – without getting swamped. Useful stuff!
My spore creature

This is very clever. EA has released the Spore Creature Creator ahead of the launch of the game (due in September, I think). In the meantime, the Creator has tools for exporting animated gifs to your machine, and screencaptures straight to YouTube — which means that there’ll be plenty of buzz-worthy blog fodder out there…
Like this; the mediaczauros.
