New Tricks

Learning how to use Podcast yesterday, using my new toy - iPOD Nano, I install iTune version 5, following the Podcast icon, I successfully access to the podcast library; this is an amazing development, it's like a diary with Sound , as it equipped with rss, which means it can be easily accesee as blog - 「blog to go」- is what I want to describe this new finding, using blog, you can now color it with picture, even multi-media, but with Podcast, now its sound on the go, in the future, with be footage / video on the go.

The personal media development is on the edge of tipping point, I am so impressed by the new application evloved from the internet. user is not only echo with their experience, now, they are part of the new economy participator, or even more critical - creator. I pick the Business Week Cover story and subcribe it, the first episode I listen gave me an new inspiration, as I had a sterotypy of an audio book impression, I though the Business Week might simply have someone to narroate the article and put the audio file to the podcast library, to my surprise, they utilize the podcast a tool to promote the current issue of weekly periodical, using the same cover story, they invited 2 persons ( should be celebrity or scholor or some talk show host ) to talked about the cover story, the interviewing session and interactive program illustrate some key points from the cover story, but not turning the article an audio file, then 2 purpose served : first, you won't get boring if you read the managize already, some intersting point came out of the interviewing, second, if you are the target audience ( should be, otherwise, you won't subcribe this free service ), you may be interested to buy one after listening to the podcast, a free audio commercial without advertising format. I even sign up for Diary Chinese Language learning, see how popular it is for American to learn Chinese. music channel of course, U-turn Cafe' is the program I subcribed for testing.

Diary with Sound and on the go. this is a good communication development, and you will not worried about not too much audio to update or replace your music catologe in your iPod. again, scale first , then scope arrive, if the iPod economy didn't come to a critical mass, the application devleopment won't be significant. Quantaty is the Power, Community is the Power. Communication is the Power. Creativity is the Power.

Bump into my younger classmate C on the hallway, she turn around and call my name, I stop and chat with her, then I found this is the last day of her, I don't know the reason, but promise to call her up. buy her luch a month ago, how come things developed this way?

Replace and install music C. request, then I get the message from her, mention how she was moved when listening to " Two out of three ain't bad " at Toronto. that's a birthday gift and my instint told me she will bring it to the trip. but do anyone knows what's " Two out of three ain't bad? " doese anyone really know Jim Steinman's composition metaphor ? My integretation is : the chorus in the song is " I want you, I need you, but there's ain't no Way I gonna love you. cause 2 out of 3 ain't bad " so. the 3 consisit of " Want, Need and Love " the 2 are Want and Need , it stand of physical contact or Sex, instead of Love, am I right ?
