I Just Can’t Get Into Podcasting…
For the longest time (roughly three months and two days) I didn’t understand podcasting. I just figured it was some really technical new medium that only the well-connected internet users were experimenting with.
Then I heard a podcast. To be fair, it may have been one of the worst podcasts ever made, but it was my first, so I use it here as the example.
Turns out that podcasting is nothing more than someone talking into a microphone about crap no one else cares about.
Let me get this straight: computer technology has evolved to such a point that we can now carry with us the ability to listen to boring people pontificate on subjects about which they have only cursory knowledge while we ride the bus?
I’m confused. I thought that was why they invented the transistor radio in the SIXTIES! But it’s even worse. At least with ad-supported radio, you have to possess at least a sliver of talent. But today’s podcasting makes any idiot with a microphone a “star” of their own show.
The internet is turning into ham radio. Have you seen the people who operate ham radios?
I have little hope for the future of this planet.

Where is the Outrage?
I woke up this morning knowing it was a special day. A day of remembrance. A day of mourning. I knew many of my friends would be sad, as they remembered how we all felt five years ago when the towers fell.
Then I remembered that the attacks happened on September 11th, not December 11th.
That explains why Good Morning America spent a whole segment on exotic pets this morning.
