Cruft

At what point do you unsubscribe from a feed or podcast instead of just bulk deleting the stuff it throws at you because you’re not interested in reading or listening? For me that threshold is remarkably high. I think I delete at least half of the stuff in my feed reader without even skimming these…

Listening between the lines

I’m guessing there are at least two other members on Metafilter that listen to Do or D-I-Y on WFMU. How else to explain this and this popping up as threads so soon after they were featured on the latest show/podcast? Or maybe it’s just a bit of synchronicity and the world really does appear to…

Doing it with People Like Us

Do or D-I-Y is a mashup/remix podcast radio show by People Like Us. It is only one of the many entertaining shows in WFMU‘s arsenal of not-in-the-mainstream talent. It is, in a word, phenomenal. It is also going on hiatus for a bit. You can listen to archived shows though, and I highly recommend them.…

RSS as Memex

I know it’s a topic I come back to now and again, but only because it is one of the most useful “technologies” to come out of my WorldWideWeb experience. The ability to essentially bookmark something of interest and then have that thing tell you when something happens to it is a remarkable way to…

Our Cornucopia Overfloweth

Another entry in the Millionaire’s Holiday rebroadcast series. This one come from November 20, 2005. The good? There’s music. The bad? There’s no voice over. Or did I get the good/bad mixed up? At any rate, here’s what I had to say about this broadcast back then: Gal Friday joins me in studio for the…

Wendy Comes To Visit

It’s and oldie, but at least it is something, right? Here’s a rebroadcast of the holiday from November 6, 2005. The show marks my one and only encounter with the National Emergency Broadcast System. Some freak storm came barreling up from Kentucky way and blew the heck out of an otherwise normally freaky Saturday night…

Hacker Crackdown in Audio

Cory Doctorow, god bless his little heart, read all of Bruce Sterling’s The Hacker Crackdown. He even did so aloud. In to a microphone. You can hear the results too. Even as a podcast. And even though it pains me to no end (like he’d ever link to my podcast), here’s Cory’s podcast link.

Holiday Sucktacular

Certainly ranking in the top five shows ever, the Holiday Sucktacular was a really fun one for me. I’m not the biggest fan of Christmas and especially Christmas with the families. Everyone expects you to be at their celebration and if you travel home for the holidays you end up running yourself ragged just to…

Play With Your Daughter Present

A bit later than the usual weekend update of Millionaire goodness. Thought I’d take a stab at mixing up something newish from the catalog of weird I’ve been collecting the past year and a half. A bit rusty and there’s no voice over. Then again, I haven’t done this since July of 2006 and I…

Devastating Shortcake

Another in what promises to be a long line of repurposed entries from the old Millionaire’s Holiday page. This one originally aired on October 23, 2005. Here’s what I had to say about this show: A really fun show this week where we hear all sorts of novelty oddities with just enough beats to tie…
