Portable Media and Podcast Expo 2005

Dawn and Drew and Me
Well, the PME has come and gone. I had a lot of scotch and at the same time got a chance to meet the who’s who of the podcasting world. Everyone from Libsyn, to the guys at AMP, most of my favorite podcasters, The Podcast Pickle, and as the photo shows…Dawn and Drew.

I must have been having entirely too much fun because I forgot to take a lot of photos, but I did take some. You can see them here.

CHEAP DVD Rentals

CHEAP DVD Rentals
I couldn’t believe it…when Amy was here last we were wondering through the Safeway here in SF (on Townsend and 4th I think) and they had a DVD machine. The best part was, you swipe your card and for only $1.49 it would spit movies out! If I remember correctly it only had about 30 movies to select from for $1.49 each. You get the movie for 24 hours, and its $1.00 for each additional day.

Needless to say, we rented a handfull of movies and did not have to pay the $10+ per person to go to the movies. With the swipe of a credit card, no memberships required, we had an evenings worth of entertainment that only required me to walk by the grocery store the next day (by midnight) and push the dvd cases back into the machine.

When you need to Scream, but can’t

Kelly Dobson created ScreamBody. It is the first of the series of Wearable Body Organs. ScreamBody is a portable space for screaming. When a user needs to scream but is in any number of situations where it is just not permitted, ScreamBody silences the user’s screams so they may feel free to vocalize without fear of environmental retaliation, and at the same time records the scream for later release where, when, and how the user chooses.
