			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tim Pritlove vom Chaos Computer Club schreibt &Atilde;&frac14;ber die <a href="http://tim.geekheim.de/2007/10/03/mein-podcasting-setup/">eingesetzte Hardware</a> bei seinen exzellenten Chaosradio-Express-Podcasts. Eine Interessante Geschichte, auch f&Atilde;&frac14;r Audio-Laien wie mich. Tim schreibt nicht nur &Atilde;&frac14;ber sein aktuelles Setup, sondern auch wie es dazu kam, welche Varianten er ausprobiert hat, um dahin zu kommen.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Das erste Setup mit den Kondensatormikrofonen hatte seine Nachteile. Abgesehen vom Preis braucht man Stative f&Atilde;&frac14;r die Mikros, ist daher recht eingeschr&Atilde;&curren;nkt in seiner Bewegungsfreiheit und die hohe Qualit&Atilde;&curren;t der Mikrofone sorgt daf&Atilde;&frac14;r, dass jedes Rascheln mit aufgenommen wird. Das unangenehmste war aber, dass man lange zum Auf&#8209; und Abbauen braucht, eine Menge schleppen muss und daher die Spontanit&Atilde;&curren;t fehlt.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Sein Ziel: Spontan, aber Radioqualit&Atilde;&curren;t. Nicht unbedingt so &Atilde;&frac14;blich, aber f&Atilde;&frac14;r die Podcaster <em>out there</em> sicherlich eine bekannte Fragestellung.</p>

<p>Und, zum Gl&Atilde;&frac14;ck f&Atilde;&frac14;r uns alle: Tim verwendet mittlerweile sein MacBook Pro (sch&Atilde;&curren;tze ich mal, nachdem ihm erst vor einiger Zeit das Powerbook geklaut wurde):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Was mich zu meiner bisherigen und in gewisser Hinsicht wohl auch meiner zuk&Atilde;&frac14;nftigen Aufnahmetechnik bringt: das Live-Recording auf dem Mac. Ich setze daf&Atilde;&frac14;r Ableton Live ein, was zwar total overpowered ist, sich aber super bedienen l&Atilde;&curren;sst (es ist schlie&Atilde;&Yuml;lich, der Name spricht B&Atilde;&curren;nde, f&Atilde;&frac14;r den Live-Betrieb optimiert) und ein paar Dinge tut, die f&Atilde;&frac14;r das Podcasting segensreich sind.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Es gibt durchaus auch andere Alternativen, mit denen Podcasts am Mac aufgenommen werden k&Atilde;&para;nnen. Nicht zuletzt packt Apple sein GarageBand mit in die iLife-suite rein. Mittlerweile kann GarageBand auch einiges was zumindest so aussieht, als ob es f&Atilde;&frac14;r die Aufnahme des Podcasts auch was taugen k&Atilde;&para;nnte, oder dann halt im Nachhinein die Aufarbeitung, Kapitelerstellung und alles was man braucht, um sch&Atilde;&para;ne Podcasts &Atilde;&frac14;ber iTunes zu ver&Atilde;&para;ffentlichen. Klaro, Apple, alles in einem Sack &#8212; &Atilde;&curren;h ja (vor allem die iPhone-Fans unter euch d&Atilde;&frac14;rften grade schmerzhaft gezuckt haben.).</p>

<p>Wenn wir schon bei der Aufarbeitung sind: Tim meint dazu folgendes:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Ein Podcaster kann da viel Zeit verlieren und ich w&Atilde;&frac14;rde es lieben, wenn ich meine Produktionszeit nach der Aufnahme sp&Atilde;&frac14;rbar verk&Atilde;&frac14;rzen k&Atilde;&para;nnte. Derzeit liegt sie bei ca. der zweifachen Zeit der eigentlichen Aufnahme. Das hei&Atilde;&Yuml;t, dass ein 2-Stunden-Interview mich fast einen ganzen Tag kostet (inkl. Vorbereitung und Nachbereitung). Das ist zu viel.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Also an alle M&Atilde;&para;chtegernpodcaster: viel Zeit einplanen! <img src='http://www.dekay.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Oder auf Qualit&Atilde;&curren;t verzichten. Und <strong>das</strong> mu&Atilde;&Yuml; man Tim schon lassen: seine Podcasts sind nicht nur inhaltlich allererste Sahne!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many tools out there for OSX users to customize their look-and-feel. Many come bundled with the OS, such as screen savers or varying desktop pictures. Usually it is also pretty easy to customize the settings using either shipping items from apple, or stuff downloaded from the web.</p>

<p>&#8222;Expert&#8220; users can also make their own, using tools and technologies such as the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/QuartzComposer/qc_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html" title="Quartz Composer Programming Guide: Introduction to Quartz Composer Programming Guide">quartz composer</a>, other hacks of existing osx technologies, such as having widgets run on the desktop or having screen savers or DVDs run instead of a desktop image. There are countless how-tos available via google.</p>

<p>A whole other universe of possibilities can be opened with extra tools, free&#8209; or shareware applications that give you an extra edge towards the live-data-display on your desktop. There are definitely many more applications out there than &#8544; will show in this post, so feel free to comment if you know of any more.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.dekay.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/screenshot-live-data-on-my-deskto.png" alt="screenshot" /></p>

<p>&#8544; have three main tools running on my desktop:</p>

<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.devon-technologies.com/" title="DEVONtechnologies Home">Photostickies</a></li>
<li><a href="http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/" title="Tynsoe projects">Geektool</a></li>
<li>and just (re)discovered: <a href="http://www.xericdesign.com/earthdesk.php" title="Xeric Design, Ltd. | Product Information | EarthDesk">EarthDesk</a></li>
</ol>

<p>The first and main tool to get live data from the web onto my desktop is Photostickies, a small and probably lesser known app from <a href="http://www.devon-technologies.com/" title="DEVONtechnologies Home">DevonTechnologies</a>. makers of DevonThinkPro and DevnAgent (which is part of the current <a href="http://www.themacpak.com/" title="Mac App promotion">themacpak</a>). It runs as a menu bar widget and allows you to fetch images from  your hard disk or the web to your screen. The images can have different refresh times, so you can always stay up-to-date with web-cams, data plots or whatever you like.</p>

<p>My personal setup consists of</p>

<ul>
<li>some pictures of my girlfriend, changing every some minutes</li>
<li>a weather extremes map of germany (back from the days of storms and frost)</li>
<li>the current traffic conditions in the area (see my recent post &#8222;<a href="http://www.dekay.org/blog/archives/staumeldungen-richtig-gemacht" title="Staumeldungen, richtig gemacht">Staumeldungen, richtig gemacht</a>&#8222;), published on the web as a GIF</li>
<li>the current pollen levels in my area, published on the web as a PDF</li>
</ul>

<p>The second tool that is running is Geektool. &#8544; am by far not utilizing all capabilities of it, so there are many more options available. What Geektool basically does is run shell scripts periodically and push their output to the desktop. So in the lower right part of the screenshot above you see the output of a regular svn checkout of <a href="http://macromates.com/" title="TextMate â€” The Missing Editor for Mac OS X">TextMate</a> bundles. Another script (in this case an <a href="http://www.apple.com/applescript/" title="Apple - AppleScript">AppleScript</a>) tells me the title and artist of the current iTunes song.</p>

<p>Others have been using Geektool e.g. to display web server statistics, log files (console.log or system.log), ruby scripts &#8212; anything that can run from the command line. Just be imaginative or use google.</p>

<p>And, completing the screenshot above. All these little images and snippets are set upon a map of europe with current cloud coverage and lighting &#8212; produced by EarthDesk.</p>

<p>What do you do with your desktop?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wer ohne GPS mit Internet-Anbindung unterwegs ist oder mal aktuelle Staumeldungen braucht hat meistens ein kleines Problem: klar, man k&Atilde;&para;nnte auch im Radio die Staumeldungen h&Atilde;&para;ren, aber dann auch noch auf die Karte gucken, Route planen etc. kann auch nervig werden. Viel besser ist der Internet-Dienst des S&Atilde;&frac14;dwestdeutschen Rundfunks. <a href="http://www1.swr.de/verkehr/verkehr.php?s_id=44&amp;map=0" title="Verkehrsnachrichten | SWR.de">Hier</a> liegen die Staumeldungen nicht nur als Text, sondern auch als Grafik vor.</p>

<p>Das sieht z.B. so aus f&Atilde;&frac14;r den Stuttgarter Raum (unter der Woche ein elendiges Stauloch):</p>

<p><img src="http://www.dekay.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/staumeldung-stuttgart.png" alt="Staumeldung Stuttgart" /></p>

<p>Die Staurichtung ist farblich kodiert, die L&Atilde;&curren;nge direkt auf der Karte eingezeichnet. <strong>Fazit</strong>: Immer einen Blick wert vor einer Autofahrt.</p>

<p><strong>Bonus</strong>: Mit der Software <a href="http://www.devon-technologies.com/" title="DEVONtechnologies Home">PhotoStickies</a> von Devon Technologies kann man Bilder aus dem Netz auch direkt auf dem Mac-Desktop anzeigen lassen und ist so immer informiert!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://macbooktattoo.blogspot.com/">This girl</a> is selling <a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/robbie_williams_lyrics_277/intensive_care_lyrics_15999/advertising_space_lyrics_185004.html">advertising space</a> on her body&acirc;&#8364;&brvbar; starting at 10 EUR. She will use the money to buy a new <a href="http://www.apple.com/macbook/">MacBook</a> (note, she is not greedy and wants the <a href="http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/">MacBook Pro</a>). If you are a tattoo designer, help her out with some sexy design and be prepared for the publicity.</p>

<p>The idea doesn&#8217;t seem too new. <a href="http://chuddup.com/laser-etched-laptop/">This lady</a> did something similar, selling advertising space on her new laptop, laser engraved. And she did raise more than 2 grand! And then those who <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/01/casino_tattoos_womans_face/">sell tattoo space</a> to the online casino golden palace.</p>

<p>The trends go on. People begging for money on the net in exchange for public fame, weird acts (<a href="http://jennifersaylor.wordpress.com/2006/09/22/warning-high-magnetic-field/">of ipod destruction</a>) and for some forms of self mutilation.</p>

<p>&#8544; guess everything does have its price.</p>
