The Geekery

I’ve not really got into the big “podcast” craze, I’ve not really had a huge amount of time to pay any attention. I do listen to “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell me” podcast, after seeing it once, and reading a brief comment on it by David, but I don’t listen too often. I usually end up downloading them as a batch, and listening to a handful. Certainly an interesting way to catch up with at least some news.

While I was catching up with some of my other feeds, Robert Scoble mentioned something about AmigoFish. It’s basically a directory of sorts for podcasts and videocasts. The reason it tweaked my interest was due to what Robert searched for… “Digital Photography”. So I may get addicted, we’ll have to see.

I was reading Robert Scoble’s blog earlier today, and he mentioned Moxi in a recent post. From the images on the Moxi website, it’s a beautifully designed digital cable interface. Much better than comcast which lacks some very basic features. Hell, I’d be happy if Time Warner would show Comcast how to do things. Time Warners interface is at least usable, comcast is just annoying (for example, you cannot skim through the guide while watching something as the guide fills the entire screen), and Moxi is beautiful. Thanks Robert, now I want it too, unfortunately they don’t even list Texas as an option in the “I want Moxi” list.
