# Audio Stuff

Published: 2005-06-14

<p>Having returned from my small-mini-I'm-so-compensating-for-not-going-to-<a href="http://www.reboot.dk">Reboot</a>-vacations at <a href="http://www.cm-aljezur.pt/jfo.htm">Odeceixe</a>, I started gathering information on what actually happened there. For that I started by tuning in to the Portuguese Trio (<a href="http://patriciaepedro.com/pedro/blog/">Pedro</a>, <a href="http://blog.delaranja.com/">André </a>and <a href="http://www.simplicidade.org/notes/">Melo</a> ) in search of news & information, and my worst fears were confirmed ... it kicked ass :), and so, just to ease my brain, even if I am an expecting father :) and even if I know responsability is a many-letter-word :) I signed up for details on Reboot8 (using the <a href="mailto:reboot8@gmail.com">reboot8@gmail.com</a> email address ), and I can sleep at night knowing that next year everything will happen again :D .</p>
<p>Anyway, as I found stuff about <a href="http://www.reboot.dk">Reboot</a>, I was taken (again) to this wonderful mega-site named <a href="http://www.archive.org">The Internet Archive</a> which is pretty cool and pretty <a href="http://creativecommons.org/">CreativeCommons</a> friendly and has many many interesting things, some of which I will speak in a paragraph of two :) . About Reboot thought, they have this "<a href="http://www.archive.org/audio/audio-details-db.php?collection=opensource_audio&collectionid=Reboot70HallAspeakerssaturday">Reboot 7.0 Hall A speakers saturday</a>", which is basically 450mb of talks :D ... sweet, can't wait to get home and stuff all this ... stuff on my little <a href="http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=214&product=10795&nav=3">Zen</a> friend :)</p>
<p>Again, anyway :D, since I was at the subject of audio stuff and <a href="http://www.archive.org">The Internet Archive</a> site I found the <a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~clgroks/">Berkeley Groks Science Show</a> which is a radio show about Science and Technology made by <a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~clgroks/page3.html">these guys</a>. I've downloaded a few editions, and it is actually a pretty nice show where they talk for 30 minutes, with some weird music cuts :) in between, about all sorts of science stuff, and provides some nice informational entertainment .... it intrigued me so, that I went in search of other sources of Audio stuff, found <a href="http://www.podcast.net">Podcast</a> and am actually considering grabbing a <a href="http://www.ipodder.org/directory/4/ipodderSoftware">PodcastAggregator </a>and Zenify myself with people talking. I know, this has been here for ages, but hey, is it more important to be the first or just to be? ... I'm glad I found this now :), where I work I'm lacking stimulation, interesting projects and most of all, tech-geeks to talk to and discuss ideas, so actually hearing (not just reading) other geek-a-like people may help get out of this stupidity field I seem to be crossing ... then again, I might just get bored :| ... only time will podcast, errrrr, say :)</p>
