This clip has been making the rounds on the Internet, so odds are you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, you should watch it, preferably in HD at Vimeo. At the very least, click the title of this post to see it full size. 
The premise is simple: Matthew Harding took a trip to 42 countries to film short clips of him doing a silly dance, sometimes alone, sometimes with lots of local folks, often in beautiful locations. The result is this 4:28 video.
I’m proud to share the fact that this guy is from Connecticut. They don’t call us nutmeggers for nothing.
Update: The song is (called Praan) is available at Amazon’s MP3 store.

Podcasting is one of the RSS trends I least get, but I’m seeing signs of greater adoption. This past week’s issue of The Economist had a full page print ad from Courtyard by Marriott that mentioned podcasting as one of the things you could do with their free Internet access.

I actually like the idea behind PodCasting. I think it has interesting potential that just hasn’t found its niche yet.

I get it, but I don’t think this is the right way to do it. This goes back to my post about lame vs. useful. This seems lame to me, but if it works, I guess it works…

why is it lame?

I mean the implementation is lame. Someone had a good idea and saw RSS as a way to make it happen easier. There’s nothing wrong, per se, with it, but it’s not exactly the ideal implementation. We’re seeing all sorts of hoops being jumped through by vendors in order to get the music to your iPod, for example, or to your MP3 player.
They’ll get it sorted out (and already have in some ways on the mac if you’re willing to pay for another program).
I suspect that once the OSes come with RSS support, perhaps they’ll include podcasting support (or at least enclosure support) directly in the packaged music/media applications. iTunes and WMP already support both audio and video. All they need is an RSS hook.
