Video interview. There’s a video interview with me in the latest Mac Developer Journal. Jason Snell interviewed me via iSight.

Besides being able to see and listen to Brent for the first time (which is quite cool per se), the idea of doing an interview with iChat and post it to the web is great in its simplicity.

I want to do this too. How was the video recorded? (iChat doesn't save video sessions afaik).

I want to record and publish a video conversation with somebody as soon as possible. Any volunteers out there? My iChat address is "paolovalde".

In perspective RSS+BitTorrent could easily provide bandwidth relief as far as distrubution is concerned. There might be something interesting here.... [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

RssReader 0.4d is hereby released. RssReader is TiVo-resident software that displays the contents of an RSS feed on your television. More interestingly, RssReader can schedule recordings from syndication feeds containing RSSTV extensions. This means you can subscribe your TiVo to a community-evolved ToDo list, such as the feed generated by Program My TiVo!

The main addition in 0.4d is the ability to schedule recordings based on network call signs instead of channel numbers. This should give us a better shot at sharing program suggestions across cablesystems. In addition, RssReader now remembers schedule results from previous sweeps, so that the display reflects whether or not a recording attempt was successful on all sweeps since the last TCS restart (infrequent), instead of just the first time a new item shows up.

Ethan Zuckerman's essay, "Making Room for the Third World in the Second Superpower" is an interesting piece on the future of social networks.

San Luis Province in Argentina has developed a very nice gateway onto the information highway (Autopista de la informacion).

What would you expect to see for egovernment in Papua New Guinea?  Take a look.

John Robb has a different take on The Second Superpower:

"An amalgam of transnational terrorism and crime is the dark underbelly of the second superpower.  If so, how big is its economy?  Estimates are that transnational crime and terrorist organizations generate between $1.5 and $2 trillion a year..."
