Hiking everywhere
Well everywhere, not really, but this Dutch guy sure made a very complete website on hiking and whatever comes with it. Besides the fact that there is some info and some intersting links on the subject, I thought the most interesting part is that almost every country you can think of has a significant number of hike trails mentioned. Yes, the guy is a bit obsessed with walking but I thought the result was very nice anyway! (check out the pics as well, there are some great ones.)

Sex education
Found this videopodcast of The Midwest teen sex show which is basically a very funny way of giving sex education. Homosexuality, the first time, the older boyfriend and lots of other subjects appeal will be thrown out in the open on these short, but effective, movies. And not just for teens either! More info and nonsense you find on their website.

Videopodcasting
I never fancied the thought of Video podcasts much. Thought they were a collection of amateur clips of somebody filming himself falling flat out in a hundred different positions and other stupid shit that is too lame to make it on TV (like nowadays anything is
) Sort of the worst of youtube. After looking into things (I don't usually do that before judging) I thought there are some things worth taking a look at. If you are looking for something specific you can go to an obvious named website like podcastdirectory and look around, or just google for "cool podcasts" or something. I will post some interesting ones if I come across something specific.
Click! when you have no clue what a podcast is....

Driving music
Today I had to use the car of my aunt, with a very old, crappy, one channel radio. Still, music adict as I am I turn it on to end up with just sports talk rubish. Probably because i'm allergic to silence I left it on and just when I'm getting sick of these morons talking about soccer, this super funky song comes on: Paolo Nutini with New shoes
It is the type of driving song that makes you lay back and enjoy the road ahead. The lyrics are absolute jiberish though; Paolo is talking about the great effects of having new shoes, but damn it's funky. This song makes you want to keep on driving into the night and forget about lifes worries. Well I didn't because I had to get the car back to my aunts, but I did race ehm... to the cd store to get the rest of the album: these streets. It does have a bit of the same feel as James Blunt's album that I only recently managed to get out of my head. Mostly sad lovesongs, which is nice, although I would have liked some more of that shoe funk. Still no reason to stick to the single in my point of view though, I will buy whis album. (No of course I didn't yet, I need to hear it first)
I never heard of the young Paolo from Scotland but looking into him a bit it seems that he has been busy for quit a while. Already popular in the UK this album is suposed to be his big break in Europe; lets hope it wont be. Let's hope this guy keeps on making good music without the glitter and hearing songs every 5 minutes until it makes you puke. Oh well at least he's not an American talking about smacking his bitch in the club.

What's a Podcast?
We all know mp3's as being the little file that represents the audiotrack from the CD on our pc's. Lots of Mp3's can be organised by programs like Itunes or winamp. A podcast is basically nothing more than an mp3 although it tends not to be limited to just songs. Primarilly they are used for transmitting radioshows, news or documentaries. The advantage is that the emmision gets downloaded and can be listened to afterwards, even in places where you don't have an internet connection. This means that it can also be copied to your Ipod.
Let's say that we like show ABC on channel XYZ. We'll surf to the website of channel XYZ to find more information on show ABC. This show happens to have emmisions by podcasts. For this the website will supply us with a podcast feed which is basically the same as a link. Instead of starting with http: it will start with feed: . This link you can copy to a mp3 playing program that allows podcasts, like itunes. In Itunes this is done by the menu advanced>subscribe to podcast... which will take you to a window where you copy the link.
From this moment Itunes will download the latest emmision of your favorite program and show you when new ones arrived. When you attach an Ipod you can tell itunes to transfer some emmisions to the Ipod so you can listen to them on the way to work.
