Well, I normally start off my posting with the weather update, so I thought I might as well put it in the title and get it over with. It has been miserable after such a brilliant week-end, but so be it!
Been listening to my favourite but tiring podcast, TWiT. Some interesting stuff this week on their show number 100, well worth listening to, if you have the hour to spare. What has been interesting is the number of items we have discussed before making it back for discussion on the show as it obviously becomes more mainstream. Leo Laporte, the show's host, seems to be the eternal geek, absolutely unable to resist anything tech. He has a Tumblelog account (not to be confused with Stumblr, who had just been purchased by EBay, by the way).
What was more interesting was the discussion on last.fm which I recently commented on. It seems as if last.fm is trying to be a lot more than what my cursory overview found. It seems as if they are doing a bit of what Google and Amazon do - look at your usage patterns and make suitable recommendations for you based on your preferences. Now that could be interesting!
The other thing they were reviewing and commenting upon, is Audiblebooks.com.. It seems as if books in whatever shape or form, still remains a firm favourite!
My wife and I are looking at holiday in the south west region of France, and I came across this great site where people post their travel logs and pictures which gives a great overview of the destination - www.travelblog.org.
Also found a great website with some interesting, and curious...., bits and pieces on it. Got the link from Digg following a link on Steve Jobs - the New York Magazine (had to be I guess...).
Enjoy!
