a new buzzword: spotcasting
so, my friend Tim Jones from the dean campaign is now working for a wicked cool tech company called EchoDitto and right now he's in Austin TX covering the south by southwest/sxsw interactive festival, which he refers to as "the most gigantor geekfest in the world, ever." anyway, he made up a new form of podcast called a spotcast, which is a podcast that's less than 60 seconds long. i think he's a genius. listen for yourself.

That's pretty cool. I think podcasting is a really neat idea. It makes me want to get high speed internet in my apartment.
In related news: SXSW (the festival) kicked ass! We went to a bunch of movies, one of which was my high school friend's movie where I got to see a lot of people I knew in high school with no clothing on. Between regular and festival films we (me, John, Dave and Jason) saw 5 movies this week. Here are my reviews of all five if you're interested:
Hostage: Very good action movie. Not your run-of-the-mill good vs bad shoot-em-up thing. ***
Steamboy: Storyline was okay but the dialogue was horrendous. Lots of repetition and obvious plot devices. Let's hope it was due to the translation. *
The Edukators: Really interesting German movie about capitalism, revolution, and surprisingly about romantic relationships. A little long though. **1/2
Layercake: I loved how this movie ended. It was sort of like Lock, Stock, and Three Smoking Barrels but more sophisticated maybe. **1/2
Kissing on the Mouth (my friend's film): Interesting near-documentary about everyday sex lives of normal people. Almost completely scriptless, filmed on an extremely low budget with no real actors. I loved the realness of it and was easily able to connect with the characters. ***1/2
It's been 9 days since your last confession, er, blog post, Stef. Get to it!
