All typed in Anglo-Saxon, o'course ... ;-)

Xopher, I've never heard of a "podcast" either. There is, of course, a Wikipedia article on it.

I had to add in a fair swathe of subscriptions, too, since I subscribe to a lot of non-US publications.

Would have been nice to have space for comments on the survey, or an email address for same.

I too skipped the political question. I'm a Republican for various reasons, one of which is to vote in Republican primaries when the choice is between a nutter and an absolute nutter. I'd rather not have someone using that party affiliation as a datapoint while sorting their data. Lessee, 43% of these folks are Green and 43% are Dems and 6% are P&F and lookee here! a Republican! and she reads People Magazine too! But she doesn't read Soldier of Fortune, that means ...

Xopher, a podcast is an audio file (think .MP3) that can be downloaded to your iPod to give you audio access to a talkshow, or friends who threw a houseparty, or a conference you missed. podcast aggregators will be the wave of the future, some say. Dave Winer -- he of Scripting News, which he describes as "one of the earliest and currently the longest-running weblog on the Internet" -- and Adam Curry are the minds behind podcasting. If you pop /"dave winer" podcast/ into your search engine of choice, you'll learn more than you need to know.

(and your nose must be itching -- I found that last Gene Stratton Porter book this very day and couldn't remember how to get in touch, so . . . let's?)

I had trouble with the political question, because my self-chosen label wasn't on the list, but I just chose something I thought they might be able to do something with.

And Xopher, I don't know what a podcast is either, but it sounds threatening.

Or, in short, update your browser. And keep your OS current. And use some sort of firewall, be it software or hardware.

Well, it's helpful to us if lots of our readers do, whether they're inside the US or not.

I point out that the one print publication with an ad currently up on nielsenhayden.com isn't from the US, either. So obviously Blogads.com isn't just selling to a domestic market.

See:
Wikipedia on Podcasting. This is, to date, what seems the definitive definition, properly citing the inventors and earliest usages.

It'll be a while before I think of "podcasting" as a novel way of loading audio files onto one of those new-fangled .mp3 players.

Sad, but that's what comes from reading too much SF.

Ah, yes. That was a while back ... and yes, I'm still havering on about it. Do I do more good gnawing away from within, espousing those issues that are important to me, or am I rotting my soul by affiliation with some of the nutjobs? Should I abandon like-minded souls who are also gnawing away or should I leave? What if we all left at once? Would that shake up the Republican Party enough to make some changes if their numbers fell when alzasudden all like-minded souls dropped the party affiliation?

Got me.

Political labels can get a little um. odd. If you meld the the beach and the farmworker and the University, toss in solid good sense and lefty-commie-pinko-socialist-labor sensibilities, throw in a heart as big as Texas, what do you get? Someone I'd never see at a Republican fund raiser, but someone I'd rather hang out with than some of the folks I would see there. Maybe the fact I wouldn't cop to the affiliation means something.

We're in the process of moving and have thousands of books boxed up and stashed in a small space next to a guy who does skylights and down from a guy who does gutters. I'll need to find a children's fiction box with space for just one more book ...
