Working from home again, I have a lot more time to download music / video (in particular, whole live concerts [legally, beotch] with BitTorrent), which is fun. And, I'm digging the whole podCasting invasion, as it matches my own desire to see the Internet summarily out-do the old centralized broadcast radio / TV systems.

I was hoping someone would come up with a better name* than podCasting, but I think it's too late now. I guess, at least to the degree that podCasting is being coupled to RSS, we can now add PottyCasting as a subtopic to conversations about Arse.

* podCasting sounds to me like a publisher/producer centric term: it sounds like it is about broadcasting to iPods, i.e., that the publisher is active and the listener is passive. Broadcatching is maybe a stranger sounding a name, but it at least suggests that the listener/viewer/reader is an active player!
