They've also redesigned
Firefox central. I has a much cleaner look and feel to me.

USAToday
: In a sharp reversal, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said Tuesday that the agency now thinks cable companies should stop forcing people to subscribe to bundles of channels and give them the option of choosing individual channels.
Seems like a good idea to me. We get the most basic of basic cable. Just don't need all the rest of it. However, there are a couple channels beyond basic that I would probably watch but I can't get them without a huge jump in price to the next level up.
This will be an interesting space to watch in the coming months. Especially as cable companies are balking at the whole decision.

I just happened to notice
my del.icio.us links page has a Google page rank of 3. Didn't think it would rate at all but I suppose my new posting to blog system is giving it some kind of rank.

Scobel has a new blog. If that's not an ad for
Feedburner I don't know what is. All he'd have to do is change the back end and 9000 people wouldn't have to resub.

If you post mp3 files or podcasts you might want to take a look at this new feature from del.icio.us. It's a simple piece of code you put between the Head tags of your blog or other web page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://del.icio.us/js/playtagger"></script>
Then, when you link to an mp3 it will automatically wrap it with a player that people can just click on to play it within your blog.
One thing I learned at the Podcast Expo was that a surprising (actually overwhelming) number of people listen on-line rather than downloading or subscribing. This is a nice easy feature to implement for your users/listeners.
Lets try it here:
^--Click the play button
Once play is started, users will have an option to tag your mp3 file via their del.icio.us account.
It's all good.

For the uninitiated, Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving here in the US. This is typically a huge shopping day for all sorts of folks. Some of the deals have leaked out to the net in recent weeks. Here is a site that lists various deals that fellow technologists might be interested in:

So I keep trying Odeo and hoping it gets better. The other day the Syncr piece stopped working so I went to see if they updated it and couldn't find it anywhere on their site. Not a big deal because one of the cool things is that they provide your Odeo feeds as a single RSS feed so you can use iTunes or anything you want (somehow I missed the announcement last week but iPodder is now Juice Reciever)
Anyway, I asked Odeo if the had phased out the Syncr and got a response tonight:
The answer is yes, we've phased out the Odeo Syncr. In the meantime, werecommend using iTunes for both Mac and PC users. We're working on anew site design that will allow you to do everything directly fromOdeo.com rather than downloading software, look for it by the end ofnext week! (rough estimate)
Our new releases will be posted on the Odeo blog:

Has anyone tried one of these? They are marketing them to 8-14 year olds but I'm thinking they seem pretty cool.

I've uploaded a redesign to my
Firefox Help, Tips and Tricks page. Most of the changes are to the stylesheets and the navigation. I've also added some links to helpful information about installing extensions and moving Firefox to a new computer.

As I sit here eating my overpriced mini pizza I'm struck by the fact that
there are no booths for Podshow or Tech Podcast Network. Strange.
I know Todd from GeekNewsCentral will be here tomorrow but I thought they
would have had a booth or had someone at least hand ot fliers to promoite
the site.

Made it to the expo. I waqs a little late, thanks to a 4 car pile up on
I-15. I did make it in time to hear the Leo Laporte keynote address.
Leo talked a bit about the early days of radio and showed off his 3rd Class
FCC license that was required back in the day. My take away form Leo was do
it because you love it. The business model will follow later.
I've been wandering around the exhibit hall a bit. Not as much hardware as
I'd expected. Lots of ad ons to the ipod.
I'm sure there are podcasters here that I listen to but don't know what
they look like. Maybe there is something to having your photo on your blog.
I have seen Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome and Dawn and Drew. Hard to miss
Dawn with her blue hair.
That's it for now. Blogging via Blackberry. so hope to have more later.

Major problems with the home PC today. Haven't yet figured it out. All I know is I was using it to record SNL last night and then I looked over and it had blue screened. Maybe the motherboard, disc controller or who the hell knows. F'd up is all I can say.
Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick shout out to
Panera Bread. I'm currently sucking on their free wi-if. Saving my life at the moment. They have awesome sandwiches too. If you've got one in your neighborhood, check them out. Have the new Chicken Tomesto sandwich or the Pepperblue Steak they both rock.

I'm a little worried about Google's new Terms and Conditions with regards to putting other ads in my Blog that already has Adsense. Here is a snippet from the new T&C:
"You further agree not to display on any Serviced Page any non-Google content-targeted advertisement(s)."
