Podcast Update

You must be thinking "man, did this guy quit listening to anything except Adam Curry's Daily Source Code and Phedippidations?" Well, you wouldn't be far from the truth. I have listened to the following podcasts over that last weeks, but only a little at a time. For some, I simply can't say much about them as too much time has passed an my brain has grown fuzzy.

• Josh Bancroft talks about Podcasting from Mobile Devices. This was a good presentation especially if you are new to podcasting. Josh clearly knows his stuff.
• Omid Kordestani, Google, participated in a conversation where many topics were covered. While I don't remember all of the details, I know this was a good podcast. I do remember the Google 80/20 work week. Each employee gets 1 day a week to do what ever they want! Man, could I did that.
  
• The Prospects for AI panel discussion with
  • Neil Jacobstein
  • Patrick Lincoln
  • Peter Norvig
  • Bruno Olshausen
  
  I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this panel. They discussed how AI can help humans behave intelligently and how we need to keep studying the brain to gain insight into how it works. And much more. Highly recommended.
• SDForum's SearchSIG was another worthwhile panel presentation. The panelists were:
  
  
  • Doug Kaye, IT Conversations
  • Evan Williams, ODEO
  • David Marks, Loomia
  • Eric Rice, Audioblog
  
  
  My favorite line from one of these guys was something like, "it's not the search, but the find that matters."
  


• I have started subscribing to eWeek's podcasts. I have totally made up my mind about their utility yet. I like that they are brief. I do remember hearing about Microsoft's Sparkle (something like Flash) which I haven't dug into yet.
• Trent Henry talks about Enterprise Security Architecture. Man, it has been awhile. I am confident this is a good presentation, but my memory is just too faded to say much. I may have to listen again.
