A few more great podcasts I stumbled upon lately:
1. Paul Graham speaking about What Businesses Can Learn from Open Source at OSCON '05. MP3 available here. Full transcript available here.
Favorite quote:
Meetings are like an opiate with a network effect... You can see how dependent you've become on something by removing it suddenly. So for big companies I propose the following experiment. Set aside one day where meetings are forbidden-- where everyone has to sit at their desk all day and work without interruption on things they can do without talking to anyone else.... You could call it "Work Day."
2. A lecture by Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian on newspapers in the
age of blogs. MP3 here. Transcript here (in PDF)
3. Steve Wozniak speaking at Gnomedex 4.0. Wow! - Seems to me like after all these years of tinkering with computer boards and chips, Steve may have accidentally put his own brain in overdrive... This podcast is fascinating and really gets into how this whole mess started. Steve went on talking for nearly 2 hours, so this podcast is broken into two parts - Part 1 available here, Part 2 here.
(small Quigo tidbit - If you listen carefully around the middle of the 2nd part when Steve talks about how they invented the floppy drive, you'll hear him talking briefly about Randy Wigginton - Apple's first software engineer which we now have the honor of having as an employee of Quigo).
