Jerry Brito

Despite my repeated announcements that I’m going to post my weekly podcast here, I keep forgetting to do so, even though I’ve had some great guests including Clay Shirky, Nick Carr, and Gina Trapani and Anil Dash. But I thought this one might be especially interesting to you guys.

Gilbert Wondracek, a computer science postdoc, tells me about his research into the economics of porn. To do his research not only did he compile a database with tens of thousands of porn sites, but he also built and operated several porn sites himself. He was a wonderful interview.

Podcast: David Post on the state of the internet

I think I may have mentioned this here before, but I have a weekly podcast. Each week I interview a thinker, author, or doer in the internet policy space. I’m going to start posting them here for your amusement, though if you like them you should subscribe in iTunes.

This week we have Prof. David G. Post on what Jefferson can teach us about the internet. Last week we had a great chat with Tyler Cowen (sorry about the so-so audio quality on that one). Check out the whole archive here.

Me on WAMU’s Kojo Nnamdi show talking about StimulusWatch.org.

If I sound like I don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s because I specifically told the producer I couldn’t address local stimulus projects, but could talk about the transparency and accountability effort nationally and, of course, the show was all about local impact.

Amon Amarth — Cry Of The Black Birds

My new favorite band of all time coming to Baltimore 26 April. Swiss, they are crazy about their work ethic. From their official biography:

[G]uitarist Olavi Mikkonen confirms: “We nailed down all ideas we had from the past year and we rehearsed 5 days a week, 9 to 5 [which is fucking huge considering they are Europeans]. At the end of the month we had finished a 5 song demo.” After a two-month break, the band returned to write the rest of the material: “We started up where we had left off and began working on all new ideas we had. Again 5 days a week, 9 to 5. This time around we had 4 new songs and the album was written. We had never written an album under these intense circumstances, but we found out that this was totally right for us.” The new masterpiece “With Oden On Our Side” was born.
