Podcast review: Diggnation: I just don’t Digg it
by Tom Anthony on Mar.19, 2008, under Internet
I posted this review in iTunes
Sounds like a group of goofy high school girls talking mostly about themselves. Oops – the hosts are named Alex and Kevin. I guess I just don’t Digg it. Diggnation is billed as a weekly tech/web culture show based on the top news stories from digg.com – a (web 2.0) social bookmarking site. That would be great if it were true! I like the digg.com website, however, and in my best Simon Cowellvoice, hate, hate, hate the Diggnation podcast presentation. Alex and Kevin; How about actually talking about digg.com? Reader – my best advice: Skip it. Please!
Podcast review: The SEO Programmer's Podcast, as posted in iTunes

Forgotten Good Intentions
This podcast falls under the category of forgotten good intentions, which I must admit also describes my first Podcasts in iTunes. (I have three of them – search on Tom Anthony.) Here is the link to one of them. Like the host of this show Raj Choudhury I posted a few files a while back and never updated the show. Originally I just wanted to make sure I knew how to do it. Raj sounds like a bright guy, but there are only nine of these posted and no updates Since November 2007. The program length of around two minutes makes it not worth downloading.
Podcast review: NPR Science Friday, as posted in iTunes
by Tom Anthony on Mar.17, 2008, under Internet, Media
I have been a fan of the radio program Talk of the Nation: Science Friday for quite a while. The host is National Public Radio science correspondent Ira Flatow, and he brings a genuine enthusiasm for the sciences to the program. This is worth listening to. To find it in iTunes do a search for NPR Science Friday, or visit their website at http://www.sciencefriday.com/ or click here to directly Subscribe to the podcast feed
Podcast review: PCMag Radio Podcast, as posted in iTunes
by Tom Anthony on Mar.17, 2008, under Internet, Media
This is a great podcast for geeks – and yes – I am somewhat of a geek. One of the regular commentators is Sasha Segan, who reminds me very much of the comedian Ant. I think it would be really easy for Sasha to get on your nerves. It’s hard to dislike the guy though, I usually agree with his opinion. The guys who do the show obviously like what they do, and its fun to listen to. If you are not really, really into technology this podcast will probably make your eyes glaze over.
iTunes U and the opposite Podcast
by Tom Anthony on Mar.13, 2008, under Internet
I have been listening to lots and lots of podcasts on iTunes. Most of them pure crap – but some very worthwhile material is available.
Head and shoulders above the pack for my taste are three files I found on iTunes U featuring Author Thomas L. Friedman. First if you have not purchased the book “The World Is Flat” you are really missing the picture of how and why the world is transforming into a global economy. Do a power search for Friedman and you’ll find those files and a great talk about his new book, Green is the new Red White and Blue. This is Very worthwhile material.
Second, what the heck is iTunes U? › link‹ One of the most remarkable resources on the internet. Apple accurately describes it this way: iTunes U puts the power of the iTunes Store to work for colleges and universities, so users can easily search, download, and play course content just like they do music, movies, and TV shows.
Now the crap.
Here is the verbatim review I posted in iTunes. I think it speaks for itself.
Big Seminar Live Podcast is DOA
O.K. –I know this is a brutal review – but I believe it is accurate. This is not even thinly veiled as an infomercial for what promoter Armand Morin calls the “Big Seminar”. Oh wait there’s more… from the promoter’s web site, “The Big Seminar promises New 2008 Strategies and An Incredible 3 Days Filled With Jaw-Dropping Income Boosting Information Which Can and Will Skyrocket Your Business to the Next Level.” It sure sounds like a get rich scheme to me. You can skip this one.

Posts from Open Source Music Project- One Two, One Two, One OneWhat is it like to drive 1400 MPH? I used an HD Flip Video Camera and recorded a video of a full length drive from Chesapeake to Hampton Virginia, including a traffic jam, going through the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel, stopping for an iced tea at Sonic drive thru – and getting lost in residential Hampton.

- Amy’s SongMy Daughter is away on a mission trip in Canada and I have been missing her a lot. Usually I include the individual mix tracks on the Open Source Music Project – but this time the mixdown is pretty much exactly the content of the individual tracks – I’s a slow soulful song I hope […]
- Music Studio AppI have been on an extended visit to my Brother Steve’s place near Atlanta as he recuperates from some surgery. He is getting along fine, and I am heading back to Virginia in a couple of days. Meanwhile I just had to do some kind of music while I was here. I mean two weeks […]
- Steve’s BuddyI believe the Holidays are about faith and family and not necessarily about the dollar value of the gift. So I wanted to give some very personalized gifts for the holidays this year for many reasons – mostly because I did not want to fall into the trap of buying some generic piece of crap at Wal*Mart and calling it a Christmas present. I decided to […]
