two more capoeira books

i just received two capoeira books from amazon: Learning Capoeira: Lessons in Cunning from an Afro-Brazilian Art and Capoeira and Candomblé: Conformity and Resistance through Afro-Brazilian Experience. if amazon has an accurate representation of the english language books on the subject, i now own 100% (or close to) all of those that aren’t american faux-fitness [...]

'about podcasting'

right now every article that involves podcasting is ‘about podcasting;’ the technology, the dissemination of this ‘new’ method of expression. i await a time when podcasting is just a vessel – although right now it’s nice to be involved in this avant-garde phenomenon (all buzz words, you’ll notice). there’ll be a point at which it’ll [...]

yahoo! gets in the game

to me, podcasting is already mainstream, so i’m always surprised when it gets bigger. today, yahoo! has become the first web behemoth to get in the podcast game. like m-c said, they have a cute interface, they support tags, etc., so it’s nothing that odeo hasn’t done before, but yahoo! is a veritable leviathan in [...]
