🎧 Listened to: Cortex #74: The Biggest Challenge of Being a Human
Some interesting elaborations from CGP Grey on his decision to more or less leave social media for the rest of the year.
While I will not take as extreme actions as Grey, I do agree with him regarding the problem with screens everywhere, algorithms everywhere and the attention deficit society that it might lead to.

and tagged it with Logging Narrating my work I’m going to try an experiment. From now and some time ahead I’m going to be tracking my podcast listening (scrobbling, if you prefer) on my blog. Every episode of every show that I listen to will be a blog post in my Listen-of category. Some posts will be nothing but the title of the podcast and episodes, others will contain short comments from me and some might even have really long comments.
The idea behind this is that I, like many other people, listen to a lot of podcasts. I often find food for thought in these and often find myself wanting to have a way of cataloging what I’ve listened to and what was interesting in the episodes. Up until now I haven’t had a good system for that and now, I have a system. Whether it’s a good one or not, time will tell.
For now I’ll let these posts syndicate to Micro.blog but if I feel like they fill my timeline there with noise I might make some tweaks to the backend on my blog to stop them from syndicating.

🎧 The Incomparable | Congratulations! You’re Dead in Space (Episode 425)
I know I’ve watched Dark City and I know I liked it, but there are so many things they talk about that I have no recollection of actually seeing. I do know I was quite tired when I watched it, but it seems like I was almost half asleep from how little I remember. Anyway, I think I’ll have to rewatch this movie.

Today seems to be a perfect day to listen to Christian Gabel’s magnificent Krater album, the soundtrack to a Swedish post-apocalyptic 80’s movie that was never made.
@MrHenko Nice. The Apple Music link if anyone wants it (spoiler alert: yes)
itunes.apple.com/us/album/…
@sirshannon Thanks!

Based on the current iPhone prices, once my SE breaks I’m no longer going to be an iPhone customer.

I just had to google how to wrap lines in a cell in the latest version of Excel. Either I’m getting worse at figuring out GUIs, or Excel gets even worse in terms of useability.

23 september, 2018 21:42@MrHenko sounds good, I’ll look forward to the posts.

24 september, 2018 09:43Before I started to logg my podcast listening on my blog my ”system” for keeping track of important episodes and their content was to screen shot Overcast whenever I listened to something particularly interesting. I will use some of those screenshots to back-fill some data.

24 september, 2018 09:47@johnjohnston Thanks! Let me know if the posts gets so frequent that they feel like noise. I don’t want to fill my micro.blog timeline with unnecessary stuff.

24 september, 2018 09:53It’s interesting to see someone else tracking what they’re listening to. I try to include the .mp3 or other audio files in my post with proper markup to create a faux-cast of sorts that others can subscribe to. Somewhat like reading.am, I find that discovery of podcasts by seeing what others are actually listening to is far more valuable than what they simply say they’re listening to.
I’m hoping that podcast apps like Overcast by @marco might support technology like webmention and micropub in the future to make some of this stuff a bit easier as well as more valuable.

24 september, 2018 10:31@c Thanks for your reply Chris! The way you are doing the tracking has been one of the main inspirations for me. I will probably also follow your example and create a ”faux-cast”, but I just want to make sure everything else around the tracking works first.
Also, I’m glad you’ve approach @marco about this. Have you gotten any response?

24 september, 2018 11:15@MrHenko @c If only more podcasts would make it easier to share via Huffduffer, that would become my de facto faux-cast.
MrHenko
24 september, 2018 11:23@jeremycherfas Yes, that would be a good solution.
jeremycherfas
24 september, 2018 12:06@MrHenko @c In fact an extension to the Overcast share sheet, or maybe even a workflow, would be a useful thing.
MrHenko
24 september, 2018 12:08@jeremycherfas Indeed, a workflow in the workflow app is what I’m using to manually do this after completing an episode.

24 september, 2018 21:27@MrHenko I’m not sure he’s seen it, but it’s there for he or others to take advantage of if they wish. We’ll see what comes of it. In the erstwhile, like @jeremycherfas, I’m relying heavily on Huffduffer.
MrHenko
25 september, 2018 14:28@c Seems like a good idea. I’m tweaking my Workflow workflow (or my Shortcuts shortcut?) and that also seems to be a fairly simple solution.
The upside of having something that requires user interaction is that, at least to me, it also encoruages adding some comments as well. I think it has made me pay more attention to what I listen to, at least for the 30 hours or so that I’ve had it working. :)
