I liked OBSIDIAN 6 (short by Mike Stackpole) and OBSIDIAN 10 (short by Mur Lafferty). But it looks like I waited too long for this bandwagon. I can’t seem to find any OBSIDIAN content in the JC Hutchins feeds from before approx. OBSIDIAN 17. Of course, his feed situation is borked. Too many gears flying about in that dudes head for something as simplistic as RSS to keep up with.
And I really liked Jack Mangan’s Fractura story. This is the first fiction I’ve heard of his, and I think I’m going to have to search out some more now. Sparse and fascinating.

Muxtape was this weird little online analog (digital analog?) of the old mix tapes that we used to make with the dual decks. But it is gone now. At least for now. The mafia side of the music industry is working on making them die now. ”Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA.”
But from the ashes, something must rise… right? This time, it is a new opensource software program that enables practically anyone to -be- Muxtape. It is called Opentape and pretty much all it takes to get running is a web host with PHP5 and an FTP client.
So instead of everyone hosting their analogous mixtapes at one central location, now anyone so inclined can host their mixtape on their own site. To see it in action, check out my BrainWyrms mix… Right at this moment, I’ve got Nine Inch Nails from Ghosts I. I’ll probably add some other “open-source” music as I find it.

Clonemas was amusing in that special funny attractive annoying way that Hutch has going for him.
Inside CNET Labs was way more interesting that I was expecting. Dong is a trip. And the other guy, name fails me, is a good straight guy.
Indecent Exposure was -way- over my head. If I could convince Jade to try podcasts, this is the second one I’d set her up with.
iFanboy, as usual, was almost as good as actually buying and reading the comics myself. It’ll do for now until I either decide I am done with this media, or I get rich enough to play in them again.
I want to go to BlenderCon!
IGN, argh. At least they have a frogging podcast page now. Last time I managed to find just this massive ugly feed with about 8 different podcasts jammed down it. This time, an actual web page with links! For seperate podcast feeds! I’m dropping the ultra boring “To Catch an Editor” and the XBOX themed “Three Red Lights”. I have no interest in XBOX or podcasts that are dedicated to them. On the other hand, I really liked Command Prompt, a PC gaming podcast, and thought that the interplay between the hosts was amusing and genuine without being overly stupid. And RetroCity was frankly amazing. A solo host is rarely as witty and engaging as that dude.
ComputerKing hits the nail on the head with his cyberpunk “Her Mirrored Eyes.” It shows me that there is more to him than just the nifty whispered voice.
So, yeah. An interesting day in podcasts for me. Some good stuff and some really skippers.

Mr. Chris Lester of the Metamor City podcast series is a new biology teacher for ARISE HS, a small charter school in California. The mission there is to serve children who will be the first to attend college and they need funds to equip the biology labs with glassware, visual aids, preserved specimens and other educational gear. Last year, their first year, they obtained electronic balances and basic dissection kits, but no other equipment yet.
Please help them buy the science gear needed for their classes: http://arisebiology.chipin.com/2008-09-biology-class
ARISE is a registered not-for-profit charitable organization and all donations are tax-deductible. Thank you for your generosity!
