Usually, the podcasts are done before (or during) friday happy-hour. This week, it came after happy hour… so, some drifting divergence. But I brought last Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal to reference in my Theory of the New Product. This was an
article about the down and dirty between Sony and JVC, but more importantly the goal that Sony originally had in mind for the ‘Beta’ product… beta, indeed. they turned their misread of the consumer’s order of important details for a home television recording device into a win in the professional market, but the same opportunity is there for apple and I think jobs is learning from history and baking this cake like a pro. but how does this relate to hamas?

Center For Cognitive Liberty and Ethics

Dear skeptical Church of Tom Jones friend,
Why is it you have absolutely no problem buying into a story of an old guy building an ark, yet it’s a colossal “leap of faith” to accept the fact that my podcast is sent by God to you? Perhaps today’s sermon will make you a believer!

More New 2006 Music

This week, I got way too into the music again. I ended up creating my own track based on Hepepe’s Byrd of Cool.

It’s really interesting to me how this show has evolved over the last few months. So I talk about that a bit.

I’m in the process of organizing different tidbits for the show, but they haven’t come together yet.

The music’s coming along though. Better than ever really.

Larry Harvey returns and we talk about the need for the sacred, counterculture, how rich people are OK, and his personal life.

Burning Man

Once again, we’re fighting against a miserable SKYPE connection which probably means that this is the last show for awhile that will feature a guest who we can’t get into the studio. But hopefully you’ll still find value in this conversation with Ronald Bailey, author of Liberation Biology. The sound is clearest at the beginning and at the end. Thanks for your patience.

Literary hotshot and all-around good guy Dave Eggers joins us. J.T. Leroy is mentioned, but mostly we talk about “Surviving Justice: America’s Wrongfully Convicted and Exonerated,” which Eggers co-edited. And Bucky Sinister tells us how Bruce Wayne is doing in the universe next door.

Well, I’m overwhelmed with the New Year and all — and yet we have much to celebrate! Before we have fun with the ongoing exposition of political corruption that we are about to undertake for the rest of Bush’s term, I thought I would complain some more about his latest undefensible act: domestic spying.

Sorry I missed a week last week — I’m just catching up from 2005! I’ll try to keep my momentum going and should be implementing some new regular features in the next show.

Things are moving so rapidly in the Creative Commons software space, I want to start highlighting new sites and software coming out every week to help get the word out about all the great work people are doing. Email me at lisa@creativecommons.org to let me know about your CC project.
