First Crack Podcast with Garrick Van Buren

Back from SXSW 2006, J Wynia and I grabbed a morning tea and talked about:

• Using email clients for reading and managing RSS feeds
• J’s Windows Attention Recorder and Edison Thomaz’ OnLife and the AttentionTrust Recorder
• Comparing technology adoption to the ebb and flow of tides
• The ethics and benefits of attention recording
• Some thoughts on adaptive pinging and caching

Listen to Paying Attention with J Wynia [33 min]

Just me today to kicking off the new year with a new mic - Sennheiser e816S, a simplified production process, and a glass of Armagnac.

Things on my mind:

• Cooper’s crying is like interruption-based advertising is like a Vonnegat story.
• Distribution is Advertising.
• Removing distraction for the New Year; moving status indicators to my dashboard and unsubscribing from yahoo podcasts, ruby on rails, and a pile of rss feeds.
• Errol Morris’ First Person
• Special thanks to Dave Slusher for remembering the story was Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron, Lewis for the bottle, Sam for the delivery, and Jeremy Piller for the theme music.
