A new feature on Acts of Volition: Other Links. It’s a running list of links and notes that didn’t warrant a full post, but were worth sharing. It’s basically a place for links that I previously would have sent via instant messaging to a few friends. The idea is stolen from Jason Kottke’s Remaindered Links.
There is an RSS feed for the Other Links as well.

The reaction to the first session of Acts of Volition Radio was generally positive. Here, then, is Session Two:

Some technical notes: I will try to get one of those foam microphone covers before the next recording to try and cut down those annoying punchy ‘p’ and ‘t’ letters. Does anyone with any recording/engineering experience having any advice? Should I be compressing or normalizing the voice tracks?
Also, there is an RSS feed for the Acts of Volition Radio posts.
Next week: an hour of name-dropping – songs by people I’ve actually met – and maybe an interview with the president of the internet.

I’ve had the idea of doing a weekly radio show on the web floating around in my head since the Acts of Volition website started over three years ago. I like the idea of assembling a bit of music, talking about who it is and why I like it, and making it available for download. An hour show could be posted for download and those interested could listen at their convenience (much like we enjoy the Strong Bad emails at HomeStarRunner.com or a new edition of The Onion each week).
I finally got around to trying it out tonight. I’m unclear on the licensing issues, but if I have to, I will pay the appropriate licensing fees if and when I can figure out what they are.
So, here you have the first ever edition of Acts of Volition Radio:
