Information Blackhole
Despite podcasts being on the interweb for at least 7 years, many of my friends (some are tech savvy, some not) are still not utilizing this really useful medium. Even for those who listen to podcasts, they only have around 1 or 2 in their iTunes podcast subscriptions list. Am I the only person in my social group who listen to more than 2 podcasts?
Here is the list of podcasts that I subscribe to. Perhaps you'll find your podcasts in it?
- ALT.NET
- Autosport
- Battlestar Galactica
- Formula 1 Video
- Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4
- GeekBrief.TV
- Hanselminutes
- HDTV and Home Theater
- The Kindle Chronicles
- MacBreak (HD Video)
- MacBreak Weekly
- MacBreak Tech
- Security Now!
- Tennis Pod Pro Video
- This American Life
- ThoughtWorks – IT Matters
- U.S. Senator Barack Obama
- The VFX Show
Similarly, RSS feed has been around for a long time and most of my friends are still not using it to consume news or websites. Currently I subscribe to 59 RSS feeds. Am I just more efficient at consuming news or am I just an information junkie?
Eat healthier Chinese food
CNN has a piece on unhealthy Chinese food which starts off with sensational news then tempered with:
The group found that not much has changed since it examined Chinese food 15 years ago. That's not all bad, Liebman said.
"We
were glad not to find anything different," she said. "Some restaurant
food has gotten a lot worse. Companies seem to pile on. Instead of just
cheesecake, you get coconut chocolate chip cheesecake with a layer of
chocolate cake, and lasagna with meatballs."
But the funny kicker is at the end where they give out 'advices' on healthier Chinese food:
Hold the sauce, and eat with a fork or chopsticks to leave more sauce behind.
I don't know about you, but how else would you eat Chinese food but using a fork or chopsticks? Spoon like a baby?
