Never deal with a dragon.
New Podcast DiscoveriesI’ve discovered that I don’t mind watching shows on the iPhone and have run into a lot of times where it would have been real nice to have some things to watch. So I hit iTunes and found as many cool things as I could that I could sync up and keep handy. It turns out that there’s a lot of really good stuff out there now. NewsThe full episode of the previous day’s show with a commercial or two in there somewhere. Worth it to catch up quickly (about half an hour). The seminal interview show, now hosted by Tom Brokow. Must have. Worth it to skim it. Sometimes there’s some good stuff and sometimes it’s all brain fluff. Another must-have, IMO. The best part is keeping the episodes around with the more stinging stories. All the debates so far, and when the next happens it will be posted here for download. The only source for real news. AustinSome Austin news programs: AccuWeather Daily Forecast – Austin EducationalHidden Universe HD: NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope Discovery Channel Video Podcasts iTunes U @ Stanford: Modern Theoretical Physics (Yeah, really. It’s great.) Other HD Podcasts (Great for the desktop or tv; use the “Create iPod or iPhone Version” menu item to take them with you.) PS: An honorable mention goes out to Happy Tree Friends, a show I can barely watch most of the time, but get some perverse enjoyment out of seeing. Just be sure you’re wearing headphones and no one can see the screen — more than once I’ve scarred small children laughing at this.

Quotes
“Creeds must disagree: it is the whole fun of the thing. If I think the universe is triangular, and you think it is square, there cannot be room for two universes. We may argue politely, we may argue humanely, we may argue with great mutual benefit; but, obviously, we must argue. Modern toleration is really a tyranny. It is a tyranny because it is a silence. To say that I must not deny my opponent’s faith is to say I must not discuss it . . . It is absurd to have a discussion on Comparative Religions if you don’t compare them.” — “The History of Religions,” The Illustrated London News, 10 October 1908 – G. K. Chesterton
