Episode 09: And the Temple of DOM

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

Indiana Jones, Mashups, naked day, oh yea, Jeremy Keith and I talked about it all. And did you know he has a food blog? Nevermind the matter, this is a podcast you won’t want to miss and pass up the chance to listen to a published author and Task Force super hero.

In this Episode

We go into the typical news stuff such as the Gawker Stalker mashup. In particular George Clooney says he’s going to do something about… but I wouldn’t take that too seriously.

Also in the news we talked about a Del.icio.us function list which allows you to see pretty much anything and everything that’s ever been done with their A.P.I.. And last but not least, everyone should know by now that today is naked day so don’t be shy to jump right on in with the rest of the world.

JavaScript Stuff

Of course this wouldn’t be right if we didn’t talk about JavaScript. We did in fact talk a bit about leaky scripts, window popping, and of course, the ever popular Hijax method of developing Rich Internet Applications. A good demo of Hijax in practice would be Jeremy’s Elsewhere subsite.

    Just a note that I’ve turned off the CSS at my wiki site, the High Weirdness Project:

    I’ve also included a mention of CSS Naked Day on the Bulldada Newsblog:

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

    hi, just wanted to let you know that i’m observing cssnakedday as well!, though I didn’t know where to post so sorry for the delay :-D

    Man, great podcast. My favorite part is where you basically dare George Cloony to put a stop Google maps mash-ups. Way to throw down the gauntlet!

  5. Dustin Diaz

    Hey look, a real comment about the actual podcast! lol. Thanks Nathan for listening. I’ll be moving the other three comments to the naked day post.

    Anyway, glad you enjoyed it Nathan. I bombed on the pyramid 2.0 this time. Jeremy definitely won.

    Good podcast. Though I will have to say, since Digg has implemented the new commenting system I’ve found some very helpful comments in there, and I’ve also found that most of the jerk comments get shutdown pretty quickly.

    Dustin, I’ve been listening to your Podcast all of about 3 days and I’m addicted. I listen to it on my train-trip to work and I can’t help but burst out in laughter every couple of minutes - which I’m sure is n’t great for my public appearance… :P

    Jeremy was really good at the Pyramid game - I reckon you should play it with all your guests and then have a “best of the best” comp sometime!

    Keep up the good work!

  8. Alright, now somebody hand me a towel

    [...] As you might have noticed, many of the Brit Packers stripped down to their… well, as Jeremy Keith said, we don’t need to go into the details of that. Thanks guys. [...]

    Is there any way to pump up the volume on these things? I sit on the train struggling to listen with my iPod nano set at full.

    Or should I just book in for a hearing test?

    Pardon?

  10. Dustin Diaz

    @Ucantblamem: Thanks for the encouraging words. I’m glad I have someone laughing. It’s all about having fun with…dare I say… Imagination ;)

    @M4rtin: Was it this particular episode that was not loud? I haven’t had that issue with my Nano - even on this episode. It’s plenty loud, and even too loud when turned all the way up. Anyway, I hope you get this sorted out. Any other iPod users having this problem?

  11. m4rtin

    @Dustin: Maybe it was just a noisy train this morning, the other episodes seemed fine as far as I can remember… I think I’ll invest in some noise-cancelling ear-phone gadgetry.

  12. Michael Wales

    Is there an RSS feed for the podcast only (without articles)? I can’t get to Odeo (yay for being deployed to Kuwait).

  13. Dustin Diaz

    @Michael: No. Not specifically for the podcast. Or at least ‘not yet’

    However, there is a listing of everything that was tagged podcasts in the archives.

    That del.icio.us tools list seems to be categorized from the regularly updated Absolutely del.icio.us tools collection.

    [...] Allow for Conversation and Have an Open Mind Recently I listened to Dustin Diaz’s podcast where Dustin interviewed Jeremy Keith, both are web design gurus.  One topic of discussion was on Jeremy Keith’s view on commenting on blogs.  I agree with where he is coming from, often times comments are not very helpful and at worst they are offensive so he decided to turn them off.  However I don’t think we should turn our comments off, at least not for theological blogs.  Rather I fall more on the side of Bryan Veloso’s writing on the subject.  Bryan concludes, I actually think one of the best comments you can leave is one that understands where I’m coming from but doesn’t completely agree with my point. That always seems to start some enlightening discussion. [...]
