In praise of stupidity
I have been listening to IT Conversations for a while now (before iTunes "invented" podcasting in the public eye). Doug Kaye corrals a great group of producers and volunteers to capture and present some of the best tech thinkers at conferences and in interviews.
A recent program really stirred me up. Adam Bosworth - Database Requirements in the Age of Scalable Services, presented at the recent MySQL Users Conference, discusses the problems of scale and complexity, particular in the context of finding and presenting data. He compares the complicated WS-* standards to RSS/ATOM. His ultimate conclusion is that RSS/ATOM may be a fundamental building block in helping applications scale on the internet, since it operates at an item level, letting applications decide how to relate those. Excellent stuff and very inspiring.
If you like IT Conversations, please consider donating to their effort. You can use Amazon or PayPal to give your gift. The effort is 100% listener supported.

Talking Heads on Vinyl
I am currently listening to "Talking Heads 77" on my new turntable. I am just getting back into playing records (mainly because we have a couple crates of good records, but also because I want juliana to be able to impress the kids at school with her knowledge of "old tech"). Since i didn't want to spend a ton, i picked up a Denon DP-29F
When Tracey and I brought out the records we found that we had a bunch of Talking Heads ("Talking Heads 77", "Remain In Light", "Fear of Music", "Naked" and "True Stories"), some Leadbelly, a bunch of Opera and Classical stuff, some old Disney and kid storybook stuff and even Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush", which is one of my favorites.
The turntable, receiver and speakers are currently on the futon in the basement, which is less than ideal, but it is a start until we find a good place for this gear.
As if I needed more music to listen to!
