Lost Remote, among many others, reports that PBS will be making one its shows available solely on the internet under a Creative Commons license (PBS Launches 'a Whole New Kind of Television'). The show, to be hosted by Robert X. Cringely, will be called Nerd TV (Pioneering Another Technology First, PBS Launches NerdTV, the First Downloadable Web-Exclusive Series From a Major Broadcaster).
This is very good news. If PBS doesn't make an RSS broadcatch available, it is likely that someone else will, hopefully, breaking the show down into individual segments.
This is still niche content for an undeveloped market, however, so I doubt the audience will be particularly large. When will we see the hardware that will make subscribing to these sorts of shows easy for the average consumer?

The New Blue Book
Michael Madison has a short collection of links on various changes in the legal academe, including a link to a review of the new edition of the Blue Book for legal citation (Blue Booking and the Academy). Read the whole post, but here's my question. When, oh when, will they make the Blue Book freely available online? And when will we have a Blue Book for Legal XML? Let's see some well-formatted metadata inside the text. After all, isn't that what Blue Booking is all about? Providing well-formatted metadata?

Introducing the Spoken Alexandria Project
The Shifted Librarian brings news of the Spoken Alexandria Project (Introducing the Spoken Alexandria Project + Podcast). The Spoken Alexandria Project
is creating a free library of spoken word recordings, consisting of classics in the public domain and modern works (with permission). AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3 audiobooks available for free download and redistribution.
Sounds like a great podcast subscription. I also think that more drama schools/classes should produce audio books as class projects.
