I regret to report that both I and my column are going on a bit of a hiatus, as I’ve been seated as a juror on an extended civil trial in Boston. To fill some airtime, I thought I’d direct you to a few old columns that are special favorites of mine or that have connections to current events.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you really have the urge to catch up on all of my past columns, just get a copy of Pixel Nation: 80 Weeks of World Wide Wade<\/em>, an e-book published by Xconomy last month. You can download a free PDF version here<\/a> or buy a $4.99 Kindle version<\/a> at Amazon’s Kindle store. But for today’s installment, I decided to revisit four pieces from the past year or two and offer a few thoughts on each with the benefit of hindsight.<\/p>\n

Public Radio for People Without Radios<\/a><\/strong>
\n February 13, 2009<\/p>\n

This column was all about the Public Radio Player (then called the Public Radio Tuner), one of my favorite mobile applications. It turns my iPhone into a radio that can pull in a live stream from almost any NPR station in the entire country, not to mention dozens of on-demand shows like Car Talk<\/em>, Fresh Air<\/em>, and On Point<\/em>. The news update is that the fine folks at the Public Radio Exchange (who will be taking part in Xconomy’s Mobile Madness<\/a> company showcase next week) have recently come out with several great new apps, and are working on more. First, there’s the new, improved 2.1 version<\/a> of the Public Radio Player itself, which went live in the iTunes App Store last week and has great features such as a sleep timer and a built-in Web browser. Then there’s a dedicated app for This American Life<\/em><\/a>, the cult-favorite documentary radio show from Ira Glass at Chicago Public Radio, which comes with access to the entire 15-year archive of shows. Finally, PRX is working on a dedicated app for my favorite NPR station, Boston’s WBUR<\/a>. That’s due for release sometime this spring.<\/p>\n

The 3-D Graphics Revolution of 1859<\/a><\/strong>
\n December 19, 2008<\/p>\n

I was never much of a collector until I started buying nineteenth-century stereoscope views a couple of years ago. We’re used to thinking of 3-D as a recent technological advance—the province of high-tech filmmakers like James Cameron—but these old cardboard-mounted image pairs (taken through separate lenses a few inches apart, like our eyes) remind us that the quest to …Next Page »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
