Adam Curry will lead a BloggerCon discussion on Podcasting. 

I was interviewed today by a reporter on Yahoo's efforts in RSS. I gave them a pretty negative review. I didn't want to be misunderstood, so I did an audio recording of what I said to the reporter, so you can get an idea of the thinking behind the soundbites that may be in the news article.  

Seattle P-I: Microsoft 'Search Champs.' 

Ethan Zuckerman on systematic biases in Wikipedia. 

Scott Rosenberg: "The Bush team has cemented its message: Kerry is a wimp." 

BBC: "King Abdullah of Jordan says it will be impossible to hold elections in Iraq in the current state of chaos there." 

I was looking for the Frontier stress testing suite amid some very old stuff on my hard disk and came across this wonderful WAV file of Pinky and the Brain talking about Gilligan's Island.  

AP: "A 108-year-old man has taken up smoking again, encouraged by gifts of cigars from as far away as London." 

Steve Gillmor: "And before you get too irate, I want more data, not less." 

Snappy the Clam: "See how many gladhanding, namedropping shoutouts you can find in this latest conflict-ridden (now with no disclosure!) advertorial puffball from RSS cheerleader and 'tech journalist' Steve Gillmor."
