Morning Reading: 8/22/06

By on August 22, 2006 in Tech

I’ve been waiting for podcast tours of museums, historical places and cities to become more mainstream.  It just seems like a great use for podcasts.  Now all we need is a central place to put them.  Hey Jimmy, doesn’t this sound like a natural addition to Wikipedia?

Believe it or not, I was wondering last week whether anyone ever survived a parachute jump when their parachute didn’t open.  This guy got up like Wylie Coyote, shook himself off and walked away.

Something about this just seems wrong to me.  Let’s play ad-infested music for people we think can’t afford better….

Stupid shit like this makes me glad I’m a Methodist, but it still makes us all look like idiots.  Tim LeBouf (here’s his blog) should count his blessings that I am not a member of his congregation.  I would stand up during a so-called sermon about women learning in quietness and submission and expose it for the horse manure it is.  This really pisses me off, in case you can’t tell.

Does anyone really care about Paris Hilton, other than for the ridicule value?

    Wow! I love the idea of podcast tours for museums. I wish I had thought of that. I’m just thinking out loud here, but maybe doing a summer tour of air museums and podcasting those could be fun for my blog. I wonder if museums would see a boost in donations, if the things they have to exhibit were available to more people. I bet educators would like it too. That could be a cool homework assignment to give out, no? There are a lot of possibilities. I’ll bet others have some great ideas too.
