I posted another verse of corinthians to the daily audio bible this morning as I stumbled onto a great project I want to participate in. AKMA suggests a collaborative audio book version of Lawrence Lessig's new book Free Culture. I've already volunteerd and am reading the pdf version as we speak. More perfect content for enclosure aware aggregators. Wouldn't it be fun to receive a new chapter automagically on your iPod every morning?
I just had an afterthought. An even nicer feature of rss in this case is that all the files live on independantly hosted servers, as requested. A single rss file with enclosure tags would act as the download navigator, allowing your newsreader to pull in all of the required files so you receive the entire book all in one go, in order. This is a great way to distribute the cost of bandwidth. Now imagine those enclisure links being BitTorrent files...

Wow, slechte ontwikkeling in den lage landen. Volgens de Volkskrant gaat de Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten per 1 november een proef aan met de zogeheten no cure, no pay-regeling in letselschade- en overlijdensschadezaken.
Dit zal natuurlijk een prijstijging veroorzaken in de zorg en verzekerings branche.
Dit is nog maar het begin, ik verwacht al binnen 5 jaar de eerste miljoenen claim te zien voor een consument die z'n mond verbrand aan een broodje showarma...

Oscar Wilde: "Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years."

Dowbrigade: "Meanwhile it is scary the degree to which my worldview and emotional well-being are becoming dependent on this five-pound slab of plastic, metal and silicon. Over the next three months it will be our companion, our post office, our library, our TV, our newsstand, our juke box, our confidant, our journal, our game chest, our worthy opponent in games and puzzles, our cookbook, our darkroom, our calculator, our telephone, our scrapbook, our window on the world and our lifeline to our past. It seems a miracle that one object can fill so many roles and desires. Our preciouuusss."

Gisteravond waren enkele militairen bij B&W te gast om over hun uitzending naar Irak te praten. Het interview zelf viel me tegen, zeker niets nieuws geleerd. Wel leuk om Overste Oppelaar weer te zien in gezelschap van Herman, Ruud en Sheila [uit Shayba]. De windows media versie van het programma vind je hier.
Zondagavond om 20 uur kun je kijken naar de tv special die wij gemaakt hebben van Operation Iraqi Sunrise. Bij Veronica natuurlijk.
