I admit to listening to Harry Potter podcasts right before the last book came out. The speculation on what was going to happen was very entertaining (wrong as it turned out but entertaining).
I don't think there is not enough time in my life for me to start listening to podcasts regularly. In moments using the podcast.com search engine, I found hours that looked interesting enough to listen to. Maybe I'd listen more if I had that gadget that Glynis showed me that lets her MP3 player connect to her car sound system. I could listen as I drive to a custom list of podcasts instead of radio or CDs or audiobooks.
Odeo confused me as I couldn't get the podcasts to play but with all the promising hours I found on podcast.com I don't have to worry about that for now.
Here's a link to a science fiction podcast (I only listened to about half of it): Slice of Sci Fi Show #160. It reminded me of conversations at different SF conventions and club meetings. It did have some interesting news about upcoming genre films. I added the show to my Bloglines so I can track future shows.
If we could get permission from speakers, podcasts could be useful to archive some talks on our website so customers could hear programs they couldn't attend.
Jot has two meanings. Noun: The smallest bit; iota. Verb: To write down briefly or hastily as in "jot down an address." So this blog is of little things often written hastily. The topics will be about information, searching for information, odd bits of information, and at least at the beginning, the OCL Web Challenge.
