The Podcast universe just keeps on getting better and better. Since getting myself a iPod Nano and FM transmitter, I never listen to the radio any more. There are more than enough excellent Podcasts out that are so much better than radio.
I don't even carry CD's in my car anymore. Don't need to. I ripped all of my CD's to MP3's and have them on my iPod. With my setup, I have 200 hours of music and podcasts all organized into optimum playlists. The FM transmitter also charges the iPod, so no matter how long the trip, I have everything I need.
If you don't know, Apple added Podcast aggregator functions into iTunes late last year. This does an excellent job of managing your podcast subscriptions and putting them on your iPod for listening. It is all automatic. Just plug the iPod into your computer, and iTunes wakes up and does the rest.
I had a flash of genius regarding podcasts and iPods last month. I am not going to go into specifics because I am looking into doing something with this idea. I called up a friend of mine, Danelle Folta, who is the captain of the Playboy Xtreme Team, and ran my idea by her. She loves it and wants to see what we can do with it. We are going to meet later this month to hash out some details.
Anyways, if I can work out something with her and the team, I may end up doing some technical podcast development. So I'm looking at getting some Apple hardware so I can run some better media development tools. I've never been a big fan of the Mac's, so I an reluctant to sink money into one. I know they are good machines. But frankly, I like to get under the hood of systems and software and make them better. Apple keeps their all locked up.
I'm pretty excited about this. I have ideas all the time, but this one is one that just keeps getting better and stronger the more I work on it. When I am ready to go public with product, I will let you all know about it. Please, wish me luck.
I'm off to bed. Good night..
