Here’s an interview with Craig Newmark from earlier this month. Some interesting things about craigslist (according to their CEO Jim Buckmaster)

1. The site is serving up seven billion pageviews a month from 200 servers
2. All 24 employees work at a Victorian house in San Francisco
3. The company has never had a tech quit in 12 years
4. Craigslist never holds meetings.

To demonstrate, I’ll point you to episode 4 of the excellent Sound-Free podcast, which digs through a huge number of Creative Commons and netlabel releases and mixes the best stuff.

Perfect late night mix. Listening back, it reminds me of the days when I use to listen to late night radio, flicking between commercial FM stations and DJ’s with a licence to experiment (where did they go?). Hence some tracks that I’ve christened softrock-electronica, some fine 4-4 house and plenty of other oddments…

Here is the track listing and the archive.org page for Sound-Free #4.

• DJ Chang’s Buddha Hash Cafe – House music and other beaty styles, and always very fun. Chang has a absoutely contagious love of music!
• DJPJ’s Galactic Fractures – funk and soul from an extremely talented and dedicated DJ. Also on the air on WMFO Boston.
• Professor Vizuete’s Jazz Incognito – jazz from a connoisseur of improv and experimental styles. Also on the air at WCOM Carrboro NC.
• Coldcut podcast – hiphop and turntablism.
• Not a podcast, but DJ /rupture posts tons of mp3s from around the world on his blog.

I also listen to non-music podcasts from Learn Hindi From Bollywood Movies, which always cracks me up, This American Life, and RadioLab, which is like This American Life but with a science bent.

Shouldn’t TR have a podcast?

Update: I forgot to mention that Mixmaster Morris and friends post mp3s of his shows on the MMM tribe. Also, i found this on jace’s above-linked blog and am still laughing..

John Lennon had once said that ‘all you need is love’. In this matter, love is indeed different from orange juice. For there is many a breakfast we have had without orange juice, but seldom have we been able to enjoy an egg that has not been fried under the steady gaze of a soulmate.

I made it into Sati and Melody’s online journal for Week 3, Escalante, Utah. WooHoo! There is a crazy amazing freefall rappel at the end of the video. Check it out!
