Today, I had the day off, so I played with iPodder, and set it up to download Adam Curry’s DailySourceCode Podcast. Podcasting is cool. It’s like talk radio without the radio…

So, I listened to it while I was out mowing the lawn, and at about 6:57 into the daily podcast, Adam played Frank Sinatra’s Come Fly with Me. What a fantastic song.

So, I immediately went into the house, brought up the iTunes Music Store and bought the track… and then I went ahead and bought the entire album that I found it on… seemed like a prudent thing to do at the time.

I then went back outside and finished the lawn, while listening to the rest of Adam’s podcast.

I’m totally digging podcasting at this point… it’s still totally in its infancy, but it’s fun, and fits into my day. Gives you something to listen to on your iPod when you’re not in the mood for a song all by itself, and fills time with interesting bits of information, and is something I can listen to in the background.

Maybe I like podcasting at this point because its so new, but I think it’s really because Adam Curry is so good at developing a good show to listen to… and his politics don’t bother me yet… Adam’s got a directory of Podcasts at iPodder.org, if you’re interested in playing with this new technology.

update: Dave liked listening to the Sinatra tune also, and put the lyrics online.
