talk about an intrinsic motivation to study. Wow, that story was nothing like anything i ever read before. I am still trying to figure out the moral. Is it telling us, that our pride is in the way of many things. It seems to me as if this story had a great supply of morals.

I simply loved the puppy dog comparison. Great way to look at things.

I was surprised there was always someone to rescue, or watch over him. That to me was like a god. And he did not stop the guy from getting burned, he needed that burn to figure out a bunch of other things. But he didn’t get seriously hurt. So the burn served a purpose.

It must be really really strange walking around with the awareness that everyone around you is constantly reading your thoughts. And that even the thought of what to write in teh letter doesn’t matter because the know you wouldn’t put anything harmful in there because you can not because of your pride being in the way or because you finally figured things out and feel like sharing your thoughts wouldn’t be understood by anyone anyway.

Why did the father finally say the name in the real language? What was the message behind that?

My goodness, I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight, way too many thoughts rambling through my mind. It’ll be a great discussion tomorrow!

podcast fever

After subscribing to like 20 podcasts I have been quite busy listening and watching.

I observed a pattern, they all start similar and they all end similar. Each podcast has a introduction which is always  the same, introducing the maker, giving the URL and introducing the podcasts topic.

The end is usually a thank you to the listener and oftentimes the URL again. Some podcasts don’t end quite that formal, they have a punchline of some sort.

There is a slight difference in podcasts made for children vs. podcast for adults. Though both follow the pattern.

Also a podcast has to be a series of some sort, otherwise it is simply a soundfile.

I have also looked at a few different podcast collectors, but I ran into a little problem there, especially because there aren’t many podcast collectors out there for mac users. I don’t think the collectors will be part of my final project, but I am still thinking about that.

I also decided I have to brainstorm about an original name for my podcast because one thing I noticed is that the names out there are all quite boring simply describing the cast, very few funny ones.
