Some friends of mine are getting broadband (at last) and I’ve been asked for netcast recommendations.
Over the past few years most of my media consumption has switched to downloads, whether netcasts or torrents, accessed via RSS feeds, aggregated using Google Reader . My use of radio and TV is now mainly for news and occasional sports broadcasts. This feels like an inevitable technological and cultural shift, so I was surprised when I discovered recently that very few of my students subscribe to any netcasts.
Here are my current subscriptions. As you can see, there are a lot of them! I don’t have time to catch every episode, so pick and choose based on episode descriptions.
Audio netcasts:
Adam and Joe BBC 6 Music
Humour is such a personal thing, but Adam and Joe make me laugh. Frequently. I first got into them via their great XFM podcast .
Alan Watts Podcast
Mostly talks on Eastern philosophy from Alan Watts’ archives.
All in the Mind

Along with the general increase in the number and availability of online resources, educational or otherwise, the last decade has seen a growing trend towards developing complete post-secondary-education courses that can be made available online for free. In contrast to the widely varying quality and the general absence of systematic and educational-research-backed course-design standards that characterize online courses offered at a premium from a growing number of traditional or exclusive... more

Doctor Who 2008 From: danielbowen.com Post Date: 2008-09-28 21:49:32
I enjoyed this season. I know I’ve loved the show for decades, but they do seem to keep coming up with new, clever stuff.
Voyage of the Damned : A little over-long and plodding in places. I suppose it was a Christmas episode.
Partners in Crime : Got the shock of my life at the end when Rose appeared, even though I had heard she’d be coming back. Other than that, not a spectacular story, but enjoyable enough.
The Fires of Pompeii : Good stuff. Liked the Roman name and Celti... more

Bize en fazla yarayan son moda gelişmelerden biri de tek konserle yetinmeyen yeni nesil konser DVDleri. Çok muhteşem bir olay aslında değil mi ? Verdiğiniz paranın tam karşılığı. Hmm nereden tanıdık geliyor bu slogan ?!
EÄŸer gidip “ Lacuna Coil - Visual Karma (Mind, Body and Soul) ” DVD setini almaya kalkarsanız aynı uygulamanın devam ettiÄŸini, birden fazla konser kaydı ve yanında uçsuz bucaksız bir ekstra içerik olduÄŸuna göreceksiniz. Yani lafın kÄ... more
I’ve interrupted the ‘hiatus’ at Sienna Online to add over 1200 screencaptures from Sienna Miller ’s most recent theatrical release, The Edge Of Love.
The film tells the story of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas’s (Matthew Rhys) complicted relationship with his wife Caitlin (played by Sienna), his childhood sweetheart Vera (Keira Knightley) and her new love William (Cillian Murphy). The film is beautifully directed, with engaging performances from it’s 4 lea... more

Had enough of the week, and it’s only Wednesday? Take a couple of hours to relax and recharge your batteries.
Over The Hump is a mix of the lighter side of rock, plus the best in contemporary instrumental, that will help you to get ready to face the rest of the work week.

catch up From: feeds.feedburner.com Post Date: 2008-04-12 21:52:58
We have a two week break from classes, so I’m looking forward to catching up on writing, paperwork and sleep (I can’t sleep before 3am, so the morning classes have been killing me).
In social network news, I left Facebook a few months ago cos it was taking up too much time and is, let’s face it, evil. Twitter has had a lot of hype recently, so I’m checking it out again , although I’m still unconvinced.
I keep vacillating between privacy and openn... more

Changes From: feeds.feedburner.com Post Date: 2008-04-06 07:35:25
I’ve changed web hosts and upgraded all the Alias Frequencies sites to the latest version of WordPress, so performance should be better from now on. Turns out the old host was being repeatedly hacked.
Oh, and this site is now at http://shannon-oneill.net . That may change as there’s another domain I’d like, but I’m waiting to hear back from the lovely owners. In any case, old links should redirect to the current address. If you subscribe to the feed, be sure to do so ... more
The discussion list for Australian electronic music, which I started in 1998 (initially on Onelist, which was taken over by Egroups, which was then taken over by Yahoogroups) is no more.
Aus_emusic was a pretty cool community in its heyday, arguably bringing a number of different scenes closer together. The aus_noise list split off from it in 2000 and is still going. Sadly I feel that many lists from that era are in decline, with little interesting discussion these days, and so I̵... more
