Everything isn’t Miscellaneous on my iPod

Golly whiz and geez bang! One of the greatest things evah about my new iPod 160 GB is that I don’t have to worry how much video I stick on it. It’ll take forever to fill this mutha!

And I’ve got a really good system setup to get everything on it I want. I use my PC/TV/DVR setup to record TV shows, I rip DVDs with DVD Decrypter, I use Videora to download torrents and video feeds, and I use Videora iPod Convertor to automagically transfer it all to the ‘pod.

Videora iPod Convertor also converts flash videos from sites like YouTube, and I download those to a directory where everything gets converted to the iPod, using the Video DownloadHelper Firefox Extension.

One of the videos I got to watch on my ‘pod’s amazingly sharp screen while flying across the Atlantic was this Google Talks lecture by David Weinberger on his book Everything is Miscellaneous. Really philosphical stuff, and worth watching. I wonder if the book holds up. And I also wonder whether it mentioned Charles Sanders Peirce, which it most certainly should.

“Externalizing Meaning” is my new catchphrase for what’s happening on the web these days.

Now if my iPod was only tag driven.
