Mike's Manic Minute 17 Mar 06 Happy Saint Patrick's Day Tonight on the History Channel,  you can watch PADDY WHACKED: THE IRISH MOB, http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/stpatricksday/?page=video   More details than you'd ever want to know available at http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/stpatricksday/     Who was this guy anyway? St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery. Many of the stories traditionally associated with St. Patrick, including the famous account of his banishing all the snakes from Ireland, are false, the products of hundreds of years of exaggerated storytelling.   It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D.   So, it's the anniversary of his death, regardless of what he actually did, I'd say raise a Guinness to him and give thanks you're still here…that's what I'm going to do!   Podcast of the day. . . Oh Don't Get Me Started! http://ohdontgetmestarted.com/modules/news/   Broadcast weekly, the show will present some of Tony's best rants and observations. If you've never heard Tony before, you're in for a treat.   Manic Minute Recommendation: Ya gotta check it out!   And that's your Manic Minute for March 17th, 2006, brought to you by www.Business-Podcasting.com! 12:08:41 PM    comment []

Mike's Manic Minute 16 Mar 06 Podcasting. . .the Movies? New out today is a video podcast by Jack Black to promote his new movie, Nacho Libre.   Podcasting advertising is a growing trend.   What do you think about it?  If you're listening to the Manic Minute you most likely have been listening to podcasts for some time.  Do you want ads?   Adam Curry. . . Defendant Adam sued regarding pictures he'd posted on www.flikr.com under a Creative Commons licence and won.   As seen on Groklaw, a recent court decision upheld the the Creative Commons license in the Netherlands: 'The Creative Commons licenses are quite new, so there has been very little in the way of case law so far, so this is a significant development.   The ruling rejected a 'the license wasn't clear' defense, particularly for sophisticated entities, and it upheld the license as binding without the licensee having to agree or even to have knowledge of the terms of the license.'   Podcast of the day. . . Spring Day in Europe! http://www.springday2006.org/   In Europe school children now have a spring holiday all their own and in this podcast, And so Ján Figel', Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Multilingualism, together with a team of experts, came to the European Schoolnet office to answer students’ questions on European sport, education and cultural values.   Manic Minute Recommendation: What's not to like about spring!   And that's your Manic Minute for March 16th, 2006, brought to you by www.Business-Podcasting.com! 12:07:47 PM    comment []
