Right, no pictures, no music, just more sound of some nutcase, wandering around London on a Sunday afternoon. Starting in Piccadilly outside the RA, I walk through Piccadilly Circus, up through Soho, along Oxford Street, across Tottenham Court Road and along to the British Museum.
for something completely different. I have some more podwalk material in the can, but it needs chopping up into digestible bits and there aren’t any pictures grrrr…. So for a Sunday evening chortle see what you think of this.
Lessig is podcasting … in his own way. He reads aloud from his latest published work in Wired – a good piece on public funding of wi-fi – but the fact that he’s “just” reading it gets a lot more comment than the content of what he says. He does explain up front, on his…
A shorter one this week, with not so much walking. Well plenty of walking, but within a small area. Podwalk 005 starts with a busker at Bond St tube station before heading off to Speakers Corner in Hyde Park on Sunday 13th February. I didn’t have my camera with me so there are only a…
Just saw the first instalment of the UK version of The Apprentice.

Yesterday’s stroll from South Kensington to Knightsbridge includes my first interview with a busker, insults for all and bit of a wobbly bit in the middle where I take some meaningless photos and refer to William Hill’s as a book-keeper rather than a bookmaker. More notes later after I listen again. Also I’ve hit my…
On the Wikipedia:Community Portal page there’s an exhortation to help with the Collaboration of the Week. “Help edit Soviet Military History“, it says. Good God – hasn’t it been edited enough in the last 90 years??!!!?!!
Dave points to a bit of scaremongering about publically provided wifi and says: Citiwide wifi systems will make new products possible. Imagine an iPod that had wifi built-in. While you’re walking around NYC it could check if any of your feeds have updated. This is one of those things you gotta know we’re going to…
