So I mentioned my little app project...
( development talk )

Empire - The Fall of the Royal African Company
Empire, hosted by William Dalrymple and Anita Anad, is a bit of weird podcast. Very progressive in text and more liberal in tone. Less so here as they speak about British slavery and the result on the fortunes of the entire empire. Anyway there are some astonishing numbers in there describing the scale of the enterprise.

Speaking of cyberpunk stuff... Sorry for the ad-like copy, I don't know what kind of kool-aid I was drinking when I wrote this. 8)
Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman - "What would you do with robotic wings? (or How to get a better body)"
This one's about brain plasticity. How is it possible for a dog to become a champion surfer? Why does the world’s best archer have no arms? Why might someone come to believe that her leg doesn’t belong to her? How can we build robots that simply figure themselves out? In this episode, Eagleman unmasks mysteries about the brain's shocking flexibility -- revealing how it comes to drive whatever body it finds itself in, how it determines what the "self" is, and what this tells us about our future as humans.
