The Rock Show podcast has been ticking over for more than eight years now, going through various formats and schedules, but always focusing on bringing unknown music to the listeners. During June I’m not going to be doing any long-form thirty to forty minute shows, instead I’m going to pick one song from one performer every morning, and do a short snack-sized show you can all listen to. By all means share
Daniel Nazer on the EFF: We’d like to enlist your help to fight this troll. One way to defeat a troll is to prove—either in court or at the patent office—that the claimed invention was not new (or was obvious). In other words, show that the patent applicant didn’t really invent anything. To do this, we need to find publications from before October 2, 1996 that disclose similar or identical ideas (this also known as prior art).

I’ll credit Winer and the iPodder-Dev list for adopting the name podcasting for their project, sure. I’ll credit Winer for adding enclosure support to RSS (and that’s the big one, tech wise). But there’s no way that Winer can take credit for creating a
It’s probably escaped the notice of many of you , but the Eurovision Song Contest is getting closer. Before you ask, the Grand Final is on Saturday May 18th, so you have six weeks to plan your party. Of course in four weeks I fly to Malmo to cover the Contest from backstage as the rehearsals start. Even though the UK media like to make fun of the Contest, with a peak viewership of over nine million last year, the public (that means you) still love it. So why not sneakily subscribe to the Eurovision Podcast that I host on ESC
