We’re using the next few days in D.C. to field test the new iPhone. I continue to be amazed at the quality of the video (and audio) from the iPhone.

Phone call to the 14th century
If you had 30 seconds to give advice to someone living in the 14th century, what you tell them? Great segment from recent This American Life.
“Sketch comedy troupe Kasper Hauser performs a radio game show, where a race car driver, a guy fluent in middle English, and a teacher take turns cramming all the 21st century wisdom they can into a 30 second phone call to the 14th century.”
It’s a funny bit but what could you tell them that they would believe? If you received a phone call from 500 years in the future, would you believe it? Could you buy that human and machine intelligence had merged, for example. Could you even believe it was possible to make a call back in time?
I, for one, am reassured that we are incapable of imagining the future.

Printer Guy
The man sitting next to our (IT) printer is Shane. Shane is known and loved by all. Okay, a bunch of people know who he is and some of them probably love him.
I only bring him up to get into this excerpt from a recent This American Life. It’s only about 4 minutes long and semi-amusing (unless you are the guy that sits next to the printer in your office).

Radio station streaming live video from Palin event
Sarah Palin is holding a rally in Springfield, Missouri, and radio station Hit 99 FM is streaming video live from the event. They could have made it easier to find but deserve props for the effort. I’m having trouble getting audio but perhaps that will change when the event gets underway.
Interesting that this is a music formatted station, not a news/talk’er. David Brazeal is there and might interview someone from the station. We’ll post it here if he does.
PS: This is what we lovingly refer to as “a face for radio.”
