The Bugcast - Well Chosen music and interesting chat

I've been listening to The Bugcast for a few months now, the show is a Combination of music with informal conversation, that include interaction with their IRC chatroom.

As part of my ongoing campaign to thank podcasters with an email, I sent an email of appreciation with a thanks. I mentioned that I'd prefer slightly more music and less chat, thinking that the comment would probably be lost in the mailbag. I seem to have caused a flurry of existential angst about the format of the show, which has caused them to issue special podcast to ask their audience opinion. Oops!

One thing that came to light from that episode is that they typically only get 55 downloads per episode. That's astonishing surely there should be more listeners.

Dave and Caroline do a great job and produce a quality podcast, go grab a show from their feed.

BBC News - E-mail error ends up on road sign

The English is clear enough to lorry drivers - but the Welsh reads "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated."

Awesome Bridges | Rocketboom

Bridges can be the most beautiful of man's creations. The best of them are elegant as a result of form fitting function so perfectly. Bridges show engineering as art of the purest form.

The Commons - explaining the commons in Video

I found this video in my feed reader, it shows the ideals behind the creative commons, and gives it a perspective beyond without getting bogged down in explaining copyright and how it interacts with the commons.
