  1. There seems to be more and more comments about show length. In an attempt to shift the discussion, two points…

    1. There are a few ways to alter playback speed. Newer ipods can increase playback by 25% when the MP3 is converted to ACC/Audio Book before transfer. With an old ipod, or other digital media player, or desktop - Audacity can increase the tempo without increasing the pitch. Thus a 90 minute podcast will be about 70 minutes…

    2. The real anoying part for me is that ‘time’ is the measuring stick. If you are baking a double chocolate mud cake, the cake is ready when the cake it ready. Speeding up the cooking time to have it ready ruins the cake. Taking the cake out half baked (pun intended) ruins the cake. Skipping ingredients or preparation steps, ruins the cake. Accept the fact, Neville and Shel, that FIR takes over an hour to ‘bake’. Let the listeners decide how they want to slice it…

  2. Thanks for the mention and the link, Neville! I love the idea of doing a Second Life event. As it happens, one of our speakers, Hillary Johnson, wrote a blog post related to this that you might find interesting (http://hillaryjohnson.typepad.com/kerabu/2006/03/all_the_worlds_.html):

  3. Regarding the definition of SWAG which was briefly mentioned in Monday’s show, I’ve always used it in the context of it being a Silly Wild Ass Guess when you need to estimate a cost or return before you have more accurate data. 

    I plugged in a SWAG today in a web transformation proforma to see what impact it would have on the bottom line of the proposed initiative.
