*** FEVER-INDUCED PARANOIA WEEK ***

I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?

News Alert: Adam Curry has a Mini-Me.

Demanding a recount with Rob Walch's Podcast411 baby-weight contest.

While I'm still recovering from my nasty bug, this week, digitalslobpod advances the spread of the theme by sucking the life out of another podcast like a parasite, the Cotolo Chronicles, with Part Two of Curt's conversation with veteran broadcaster Frank Cotolo. Snuff-fetish topics include:

The death of newspapers, the death of live entertainment, the death of "professional content." The death of the phrase "the death of." And, plotting the demise of Digital Rights Management.

We may be entering the paperless society, but it's not stopping the Media Grim Reaper from being up to his eyeballs in paperwork.

Sorry for the delay ... Curt has the flu, so his wife Olga sits in for him, editing highlights from his appearance last week on Cotolo Chronicles. So Olga hosts, instead of Curt, on a highlight show where Curt is the guest, not the host, on Cotolo's Hallelujah Trail ... hence, role-reversal week.

Highlights:
Olga: "Americans do everything to do nothing."
Mixed marriages: Sometimes the easiest thing to do is not so easy.
If Curt tried to move to Russia, within 72 hours, he would be dead. Not a dishwasher, not mopping floors. He'd be dead, and someone would have stolen his shoes.

Where does Curt get his ideas? Charlie Brown.
Why become a writer: It had the best praise-to-work ratio.

Live podcasts vs. edited podcasts. Frank's is free-form, Curt is a control freak ... each has it virtues (but some podcasts are more virtuous than others).

Why "Digital Slob"? Mixing the clean world of external expectations with the messy world of internal contentment.

Using tech to amplify who you are, rather than tech using you to absorb who you are.
