Renaissance Man

Dave Winer has posted what sounds to me like a very honest account of the falling out between himself and Adam Curry. A very interesting listen. It sounds like he felt he was shafted and he may be right. He may get accused of whining, but where is the rule that says you can’t say […]

Well, I am impressed with Python (and wxPython). I managed to create the timesheet processor program complete with GUI (albeit a dead simple one) in about 1/8th the time it took me to get to the same point with C++. Implementing wxPython for the GUI was much more simple than using the same library in […]

Dave Winer gives some more of his thoughts on the saga again today:

Well, the saga continues yet again. Adam Curry responded to Dave’s earlier rant and name calling rather firmly but thoughtfully in his DailySourceCode podcast.

A couple of big moments in podcasting recently… Adam Curry’s Sirius Satellite radio broadcast about podcasting aired yesterday for the first time, Dave Winer is providing a podcast for broadcast on KYOU radio, Adam does an interview for Wired magazine and Dave is pissed.
Lots to follow here. It seems that the mudslinging is well underway […]

Why is it that the big cheese’s willingness to pay licensing fees for podcasters to play music is such a big […]

Just glancing at Dave Winer’s latest post about the state of RSS and advertising and had to laugh at his creative use of dictionary.com as a reference source. Nice

There is a heck of a lot of discussion going on with the recent announcement that Adam Curry has cut a deal with Sirius satellite radio. I haven’t looked into it enough to comment, but as expected, not everyone is necessarily happy about it. More and more I get the feeling that the intimacy of […]
