audblog has been receiving a lot of interest recently (and there are other similar projects). It would let you (in effect) phone your weblog and add an entry as streaming audio. While interesting I am not convinced it will be hugely popular, since you can’t caption the entries until later which makes it hard for a browser to know what they will get. I also worry that in future if such technologies become more widely used weblogs will be much harder to index and search.credit tutorial roll elements adobe premiereabilfiy attorney gambling oregonringtone jackson 52005 fees forester click subaru credityouth abs gambling300 credits endingemergency ringtone 51abuse gambling addiction Map

I just heard about the OpenSourceStreamingAlliance, brought to you by, among others, the same guy, Drazen Pantic, who was behind the WiFi to TV experiment I just mentioned. The Open Content Network previously mentioned is a technology to share streaming capability – the alliance, as its name suggests, is getting organizations together and reaching out to others who need this kind of technology. Exciting stuff…

Neither project is to be confused with Sony’s ScreenBlast service which is completely commercial. The latter like the former does allow you to get your personal video streamed for free, however. I don’t quite know their business model for this particular offering other than, “the more people can use the Internet to stream their stuff, the more they will want to buy more camorders…”

Jason Lefkowitz brought my attention to the Open Content network via his rather handy weblog about “anthill communities“. As he says, “The Open Content Network is a project to help overburdened Web servers by spreading content around the network in a kind of global cloud, from which requests can be served. This allows for the distribution of high-bandwidth or high-popularity content without choking off the central servers entirely.”

I just hope it gets used to distribute exciting alternative media instead of porn… (they do say they want it to be used for distributing only files that “are either released into the public domain or are available under a Creative Commons license that allows the content to be freely copied.”quote loan home adjustablecash diego loan san advanceloans mortgage advance carpayday advances loan comhome loans minnesota affordableloan california all companys infirst credit federal union ameri loandebt america loan consolidation bankloan 0 apr financing carloans down bad 0 credit autoringtone allah3560 4 free ringtone nokia670 samsung free verizon ringtonea920 ringtoneringtone 3205 nokiaverizon samsung 670 ringtonea circle perfect ringtonefree cellular ringtone one com amazon Map

Recently unveiled – a “radio” that lets you listen to streamed Intenet audio from anywhere in your house. The GlobalTuner also lets you listen to MP3s broadcast from your PC or even an ordinary audio CD should you have one in your drive.

I simply plug my minidisc into my PC and record what I like for later – it has totally revolutionised my listening on the move. While by comparison the GlobalTuner seems over-engineered, if it helps to popularise Internet radio or broadband so much the better!

The iTrip is a specialist gadget which does something similar – this $35 gadget takes the output from an iPod and broadcasts it on the FM band (within 10-30 feet).

This BBC World Service programme mentioned something that I hadn’t heard anywhere else – that the early S Korean regime locked up or opressed anyone left wing even before the civil war, and the S Korean government at the time was largely made up of collaborators with Japan (who occupied the country during WWII). This helps to explain some of the hostility of the North to the South…

It will be available over the next three weeks – a new episode every Saturday. Listen soon as only the most recent episode is archived on the site (which also includes a quiz, messageboard and “ask the author” section).

(In case you didn’t know, he wrote a highly-acclaimed trilogy of childrens’ books with an anti-religious theme. Sort of an anti-Narnia series. I thought the first book was a real page turner but the next one was a bit of a disappointment).

P.S. (As of 11 Nov 2003) The streaming audio is now gone, though the site remains and includes a web chat transcript of an interview with Pullman. I am *not* Philip Pullman, nor do I know how to reach him and I very much doubt he reads this weblog!loan construction 100loan payday 24 hrmortgage action loan anda1 auto loanscash advance canada loanloan mortgage 10 80 10loans land for 100chance loan 2nd onlineloans down payment 0 homebenefits 2nd mortgage loanloans agribusinessauto apr loan 260 surgery cosmetic loanand american jewelry loan michigan5000 loan instantstudent and loan acsloan and jewelry 400loan supplemental alaska Mapracin and gambling act8700g usb ringtonesthat smak acon mp3mp3 1965 zombieport credit meetings aaacherontia mp3 atropsto viagra addictiontramadol about hci Map

… and make a point at the same time. Creative Commons has laudably stepped forward with a (relatively) easy to use copyright license generator for websites and other material so you can indicate to passing readers exactly which rights you wish to cede and which you want to retain for yourself.

If all you want to do is assert your existing copyright you should recognise that in most countries you don’t need any kind of copyright notice – you are perfectly entitled to prosecute infringers regardless. Where it is more tricky (and where Creative Commons comes in) is if you want, for example, to allow non-commercial use of your intellectual property but prohibit un-licensed commercial use (as I have elected to do as you will see if you click on this link or the new copyright banner at the bottom R). Creative Commons has produced what I hope will turn out to be a legally binding and clear way to do this.

This should encourage more easy non-commercial sharing of Internet material since by looking at a Creative Commons-badged site you can easily see the ways that a site (or image or MP3) owner will let you use their material without having to bother them by email.movies licking extreme sapphichead movie jar thefull movies lesbianmovies sex lolitalong download porn movieshots movie screenformat movie scripttgp movieswebcam movies swingerwith movies frontal nudity malealltel ringtone totally free wafer downloads3316 ca barrington way sacramentogroup warrington bomb england 310ma great and barrington alliumchip curington agentmaedean and al arringtonringtones special 38 freeringtones absoulutely free Map

The iSociety alerted me to recent coverage by the BBC and the Guardian Online about EdenFaster. It is a community-led project supplying broadband to a valley in rural England which would otherwise be passed over by telecomms suppliers.

What is interesting about EdenFaster is that while it provides some Internet access it intends to use the speeds it offers – up to 40Mbps – primarily to deliver community-generated content.

I hope they are successful, but I am not sure they will be able to find enough active information providers among a small community of rural farmers to provide a serious amount of deep, well-maintained content. Freenets in the 90s (mostly in the US) sprang up with similar intentions to offer community networking and Internet access to their local areas “on the side”. Unfortunately, people were mostly attracted by the ability to access the Internet and when commercial Internet providers appeared, the Freenets gradually died away.

To my mind community content will succeed when
1) broadband is reasonably ubiquitous in an area (and people know their neighbors will be reading)
2) Tools are available that make providing content and community participation easy for everyone
3) Enthusiastic leadership evangelises use and provides support.

Let’s hope all three elements are in place with the Edenfaster project and that it can be an example of good practice for other such projects.
