Podcasting


I had my first experience in Pod casting. You can hear the mp3 at http://www.archive.org/download/ocls1jun-2007/ocls1jun-2007_64kb.m3u. I hope you enjoy it. By the way, it is in Spanish!!!
I first saw this story in a travel agency in Mexico D.F. back in 1996. As I read it I felt myself flying with the wings of my vivid imagination far away to the mystic land of India. The present was gone and the anciant Hindu men from the story became alive in my mind as my consciousness expanded to embrace the whole planet.
The story fascinates me, unfortunately the author's name remains unknown.

Audio Books

The hardest part of this course has been so far finding an audiobook to download. First, I couldn't reach to the point of downloading the book following the instructions on the course. Second, I tried getting the instructions from our website and I got to the point were I can see the titles of all the audiobooks. However, finding one available for download was another story... Finally, I got one that doesn't interest me but was the only available: "Baby Love Unabridge"

DRM Controversy

The Internet has changed the life of humankind. We no longer need to go somewhere to meet other people, read a book, watch a movie, play a game, research some information. Basically all the information, music, movie, people is available some clicks away in our leavingroom's computer.

Internet is powerful, it has even destroyed the power of the four big companies that distribute music. No matter how hard they work implementing DRM, there will be someone who can bypass that protection. The music is patrimony of humankind, it shouldn't be restricted.
