Cool Listening and Podcastings 3rd Anniversary

I was in the UK at the weekend to organize a couple of things re my move there next week. As I mentioned in Geek News Central, Caribbean Free Radio, Ritmo Latino, Daily Source Code, even a couple of back episodes of Griffin Roadtrip, a very cool gadget that transmits the audio to the car radio on a spare FM frequency. I picked one up at Schiphol airport on Saturday. It works with any iPod model except the Shuttle, not only enabling you to listen to your audio but also charging your iPod. Forget burning those podcasts to CD. Forget earbuds and cables. Forget contraptions like special cassettes (and who has a casette player in their car these days?). Unless you have a car with an in-built iPod connector, this has got to be the only way to listen to audio from your iPod when in a car. Speaking of podcasting, the third anniversary of this medium passed at the weekend, on Saturday September 23. Adam Curry):

[] Today is, in a sense, the three-year anniversary of podcasting. It wasn't called podcasting then, but all the essential elements of what would become podcasting were in place. A regular show with a theme (Danny G came up with "podcast" and we liked it, so that was it, the decision was made, a "rough consensus" formed, and from then on we called what we were doing podcasting.
