My Van Halen technorati feed picked up this post by A VC talking about Bob Lefsetz’s podcast. Lefsetz is a “music industry insider” who sounds like he stepped out of a Scorsese film. Yeah I know he’s Jewish but a good mob film always has one Jewish guy who the wiseguys kind of tolerate because he makes them lots of green. A N Y W A Y … Bob does this brilliant podcast for Rhino Records and this episode is all about VAN HALEN. It is simply BRILLIANT. Thank you Bob, you made my morning. This is what podcasting is all about.

So I had something really BIG planned for this show but, well, like most of the big plans I have, this one didn’t pan out in time. Instead, I’ve done a little retrospective of some of what I think the high points have been for the show over the last 200 episodes. In order of appearance you’ll hear short clips from my interviews with:
Noam Chomsky
Ray Kurzweil
David Weinberger
Doc Searls
Dr Aubrey de Grey
Robert Scoble
Thanks for still listening folks. You’ve made an old man very hard. I mean happy.

What does that makes us… a toddler? That sounds about right.

I installed GooSync last week to give it a test ride. If you haven’t heard of GooSync yet, it purports to be the Holy Grail that will synchronize your Outlook Calendar (boo! hiss!) with your Google Calendar (yay! hurrah!). This is especially important for those of us with Pocket PC / Windows Mobile devices who want to be able to swan around at meetings and enter appointments into our diaries but be able to synch them with the online version.
I’ve been doing this successfully for a couple of months using Funambol but it’s a desktop app and GooSync is a Pocket PC app which makes a lot more sense.
ANYWAY… the bottom line is that when I tested GooSync it borked my calendar. After three synchs, I ended up with three different versions of most of my appointments in both the Outlook and the Google calendars and some were even at different times to the original! I was able to go through Outlook and delete most of the erroneous entries but you can’t do that as easily with GCal, so I had to delete the whole frikkin calendar and start again (fortunately that’s a pretty painless process).
Anyone else having trouble with GooSync or know the reason for my troubles?

Tim King from +grooveARMY has written a brilliant widget for TPN which will run on your desktop to make sure you never miss another TPN podcast!
The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. With the TPN widget, it will sit unobtrusively on your desktop and display the latest 14 podcasts from across TPN. Pretty cool huh!?
