My beloved has an article in this week’s Independent about podcasting. I love the title: “DIY radio – Or how I learned to stop worrying about the media and start podcasting.”
Check it out and come on out to PodcasterCon on Saturday January 7.

Holy crap, del.icio.us is down! And this after the shocking news that they got bought by Yahoo a few weeks ago. I think something similar happened after Yahoo bought Flickr, didn’t it?
What’s up with Yahoo getting all web 2.0 anyway…?
This car was parked about 70% on the sidewalk of Henderson Street in Chapel Hill.
By the way, I am deeply in love with this DC Metro map that uses Google to show actual streets (not theoretical station locations) and can zoom in and out, etc. And I don’t want to leave out the very helpful Station Masters Online, which I have been using for years.
And in case you’re wondering, DC is fine. Since my new employer doesn’t put me up in hotels like a rock star, I am staying with my wonderful friend Rickie and commuting on the Metro like everyone else. I really enjoy my little part-time life as a metropolitan city dweller, but also I love that I get to go back to my cozy home after a few days of it each month.
Yogurt on lentil soup spells out the name of one of my favorite DC spots.
This neat little iTunes Signature Maker analyzes your iTunes collection and make a short audio file that expresses your musical taste.
Here’s mine (6.4 MB .wav file). There are a few key things it missed, but that’s randomness for you. As you can hear, I do like me some Arto Lindsay.

I just made a contribution to Planned Parenthood’s photo petition against Target’s refusal to guarantee that their pharmasicts will fill all prescriptions for birth control (inluding emergency contraception.
There are already hundreds of other great pictures in this campaign that was inspired by the fabulous (and still growing) SorryEverybody.com. You can browse them at http://www.saveroe.com/target/photos
What I really love about campigns like this is how expressive individuals can be in a visual medium, and how diverse and creative their presentations are. In the target photos, there are some with pictures of kids, pets, christmas trees, married people, body parts, cartoons, friends, and so on. Each person is really able to send a very personal, and therefore very meaningful message.
How long can progressives continue to support this Democratic Party that still fears taking a stand against what is – at best – our generation’s Vietnam?
Several Democrats joined President Bush yesterday in rebuking [Howard] Dean’s declaration to a San Antonio radio station Monday that “the idea that we’re going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong.”

And here I was getting all excited about Bush Backlash in the 2006 congressional elections! Nevermind. 🙁
For a work-related project I recently started compiling a reading list for someone looking to learn about network-centric advocacy. I thought I’d post it here and see if you readers have any additions to suggest. (Also, if you’re still trying to figure out what I do for living, read the first one, it’s a quick intro by my boss to what we do consulting on.)
Also if you’re interested in such things, I have started aggregating blogs on this topic at NetCentric Campaigns.
