I&#8217;m busy catching up on my podcast<br \/>\nlistening, Dave Winer chatting to me from his car&#8230;it&#8217;s a remarkable<br \/>\nmedium that has so many possibilities, both good and bad. The nice<br \/>\nthing is we get to choose content providers unlike the claw-like grasp<br \/>\ncable and radio companies have. Don&#8217;t get me started on Comcast and how<br \/>\nthey get away with raising your bill $3 or $4 a month with no reason<br \/>\nother than they can.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m hoping that when I begin my podcast that I&#8217;m<br \/>\nproviding content that isn&#8217;t closed in interest to a couple of my<br \/>\nroadie friends who really need a hobby. I think that your ego makes you<br \/>\nhope that your interests, feelings and thoughts would be valid to<br \/>\nothers. I&#8217;m pretty sure it is fear that is convinced that no one other<br \/>\nthan the truly twisted would sit through me talking about anything. I&#8217;m<br \/>\ntruely surprised that some of the podcasts I&#8217;ve started listening to<br \/>\nactually leave me wanting more. They also have the effect of quelling<br \/>\nthe fear that my words would go unlistened.<br \/>\nI mainly stick to the pioneers at this point but am<br \/>\nbranching out to others. The people I listen to are not people I would<br \/>\nbe interacting with otherwise&#8230; kinda like some other communities I&#8217;ve<br \/>\ngotten involved with in the past 15 years. This discussion of<br \/>\nmonoculture is very positive, an evolution of interaction and sharing<br \/>\nthat has been trounced by coporate playlists and these monopolies that<br \/>\nforce feed the kiddies product camouflaged as art, music, games,<br \/>\n&#8220;needed&#8221; gadgets&#8230;perhaps a few of these gadgets will help us<br \/>\n1) break free of the imposed &#8220;Norm&#8221;;<br \/>\n2) think outside the whatever;<br \/>\n3) share what we have;<br \/>\n4) take it or leave it.<\/p>\n<p>At least we will have a choice!!!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">leg 2; made connections&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The delay in take off made the connection<br \/>\ntight but we beat our boarding group on.  Row 19, crying rug rats<br \/>\nand seat kickers behind us. It&#8217;s an unfair description really; one is<br \/>\nyounger and cries, the older one LOVES the sound of her voice in all<br \/>\ntimbres and volumes. I offered Angela the Bose earphones but she<br \/>\ndeclined. It&#8217;s holiday travel, not bad, not good, a step below typical.<br \/>\nAngela offers her first contribution to the blog; &#8220;It&#8217;s like a day care<br \/>\nin the sky.&#8221; Bravo Angela!<br \/>\nGoing over a saved Source Code from 12-20 which is<br \/>\nconnected to the Morning Coffee Notes I was listening to. These are<br \/>\nsimple ideas that could be quite powerful if they are elaborated on and<br \/>\nnot co-opted by the big boys too early in the process. The more I write<br \/>\nabout it, the more I want to really dive in, get some egg on my face<br \/>\nand go for it. There&#8217;s no time like the present&#8230; now, before someone<br \/>\ncalls me up and puts me to work, draining all my spare energy and<br \/>\ncreativity.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s baby walking time on flight 450&#8230;God, stop me from kicking back!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between Sacramento and Denver, leg one of today&#8217;s travels, Angela and I in the 20th row with a good view of the holiday humanity in front of us.
