Holy revived podcast, Batman! Kenzoid’s Autonomous Zone has *returned*! With only a slightly over 4 year hiatus! Thanks to Dave Slusher and the Dog Days of Podcasting for the inspiration!

Dave Slusher — Evil Genius Chronicles
Dog Days of Podcasting
Dragon*Con (insanely cool sf and popular culture convention)
Auphonic (audio post production web service for podcasts)

(Note: after I had finished the episode, I determined that blip.tv no longer allows audio-only uploads. I’m going to have to move my entire podcast archive from there to another site, and redirect everything. But I’m not going to worry about it until after Dragon*Con and the Dog Days of Podcasting…for now, my RSS feed redirect will have only the new episodes: http://kenzoid.com/podcast.rss. We’ll straighten things out after Dragon*Con.)

This episode is a straight up review/discussion of James Boyle’s newest book, “The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind”. I’ve added a couple of links here to his website, and some of the other authors mentioned in the podcast.

Episode links: direct MP3 download link, or blip.tv page.

Here is the blip.tv page and direct MP3 download link for the October 9th episode.

This episode is primarily about sharing some podcast favorites (old and new), and chatting about Dragon*Con and other recent events. I manage to include the Beatnik Turtle song How Did I Google This? at the end, after tracking it down after I was finished with the podcast.

(Note: I also discovered I’ve got some high-frequency hiss/whine in this episode, which may be from my new microphone. I wasn’t able to get it completely out…I apologize. I will work on it for next episode.)

I start today’s podcast by chatting about getting my basal cell carcinoma chopped off and my cat Thomas being sick. I then move into discussing the results of playing Paul Fidalgo’s music last time (he’s a cool dude), and my new online obsess…er, apps: FriendFeed, brightkite, and Fire Eagle. Web 2.0 jazziness all…with location awareness to boot! I then play another Paul Fidalgo song, and get outa here. (If you want a brightkite invite, let me know, and I’ll kick them out as long as I have some).

Woohoo! Less than 2 months have gone by. *grin* I reflect on my experience being BoingBoinged (ok, BoingBoinging myself), talk about my upcoming minor surgery for a small basal cell carcinoma, and introduce a new segment! I’m going to start adding some music recommendations, and I decided to start with one of my favorite new artists: Paul Fidalgo.

First track: Bussard Collector, from his EP, Jut. Paul is an awesome artist, and I really appreciate his permission to share this. Thanks, Paul! And if you enjoy his music (which you’ll be hearing more of), make sure to go by Amie Street or iTunes and pick it up!

Note: I am as of this time (2008-06-01) experimenting with flash mp3 players. Currently you should see a play this podcast link next to the player below…click away and give it a try! Please let me know what you think.

I discuss Evernote, LibraryThing, data portability, and sharing. Thanks to Jon Udell for making some great podcasts that helped me realize that I could improve the way I organize and share some of my data.

Note: I used The Levelator for the first time on this podcast, and I definitely think you can hear the difference! (This one was also done at the desk rather than on portable recorder, so it’s about as good as they’ll ever get, quality-wise).
