You could think the Podshow profile pages and myspace are the same. Well, of course Podshow was built after that model but have you seen the available tools for myspace? Wow.
You might wonder why there is no show listening of my shows on the podshows search engine. Well, easy answer: The T&C are so that I will not put my shows into the listening as long as I have to give over rights just to get listed. Not happening. But you close your eyes and take my page for my Useful Sounds page if you like. ;o)
As for myspace - I am not sure if it would be clever to do a Useful Sounds myspace page as I do not really see this as a blog / social media tool venue for myself. What do you think?
Oh and: Are there any nice "my profile on myspace / podshow" icons?
Finally I have take usefulsound.com as the main domain for just my podcasts. ;)
This is the claim my podcast posting with a dozen of keys as well as a notice for you to please change the links if you have some to useful sounds like on a podroll ;o) Thanks in advance.
America - they let me in, out and actually travel!
Frequent Flyer programs - my new obsessions :)

German baby steps in accepting blogging and podcasting
Handed in my resignation, my dealing with German unemployement agency and 'social medicin'
Palo Alto: Meeting people I know from online (and forgetting a lot of them *cough*) as well as Jonas Luster from Socialtext and Havi Hoffman and Chris Future at Yahoo.
Los Angeles: Meeting Dan Klass from the Bitterest Pill and the kind of expectation you build up / Barcamp L.A. was interesting / a train at top speed
San Diego: The cool kids are somewhere else. Etech did not live up to what it was supposed to be
Today's podcast is part of a little present for myself - several podcast next week so I will have No. 50 on my birthday. The content? I would like some travelling advice from you!
So my travel plans are: going from Europe to San Francisco (SFO) to Palo Alto, from San Jose (SJC) to San Diego (SAN), from SAN to Los Angeles Airport (LAX). Most of the web pages do not allow this kind of multicity booking. :(
In addition to what I tell you about in the podcast, let me break it down to the parts of what I already know SF / Palo Alto
I am arriving at San Francisco International Airport
conference is held at the Sheraton (625 El Camino Real), it is supposed to be a block away from "Cal Train Station"
should I take a kind of stop-over hotel or try to get directly to Palo Alto and do travelling / touristing from there?
already suggested: the Cardinal Hotel in Palo Alto
I know about a free shuttle service to Millbrae (?) station for Caltrain, and about Shuttleservice.com
San Diego
I am going from San Jose (seems to be easier than from SFO) to San Diego on March 3rd
Etech Conference (March 6-9) is at Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, 1 Market Place, San Diego, CA 92101 USA
already suggested: Hotel Strip, which is roughly a 10 minute drive from downtown.
Los Angeles
I need to get out of San Diego to San Diego Airport, and travel to LAX OR travel by train to Los Angeles - which should I prefer? Destination is Los Angeles Airport.
need a hotel near the airport because I will go from there the next day
Any hints for hotels / transportation / websites for me? :o)
Parts from the song Hiding as usual by the band Futureshock!
Learn a bit about German Silvester, little boys and their Böller, and why some German throw bread into the air.
It is so easy to sound clever if you have a journalist tweaking the words *g*
Toby Bloomberg's request for "what you would like more / less in the blogosphere" and the results under "Bloggers Wish List for 2006"
my answer to this question:
We should be challenging. Expect more from the people around you, including your readers. How else are we suppose to learn and evolve if everything stays mediocre and just for the mainstream taste?
To quote one of my favorite song lyrics: "What have you done today to make you feel proud?" There are so many people and you can't be everyone's darling. Stop trying to be and make the the one person proud which really counts: You!
Say what you want: In order for you to be more than mediocre, others (and you yourself) need impulses and ideas. Tell them what you want and why, so others can pick up on your request.
What I want less:
I want less people who do not understand why connecting to the internet is not an addiction but a new form of social interaction. I am tired of seeing those pity looks because they think, they do have a "real life" when all they do is watching television all night or going out in bars having meaningless conversations with people they already know.
a great song to start the the new year: Heather Small - Proud
Me going crazy over trying to figure out how to travel to the US! Any hints for which airlines to take to the US? For (LHR|FRA|else) to SFO and SFO-SAN and LAX - Europe. Preferably one way.
