Good Podcasts (3/24/08 - 3/28/08)

As i've been exploring the new commute, i've had more time to listen to more podcasts!

The Long Now Foundation hosted Craig Venter discussing "Joining 3.5 Billion Years of Microbial Invention" - [mp3] - "'Ten million genes are the design components of the future,' Venter concluded."
A nice overview of spimes (Bruce Sterling's concept of an object that can track itself through and interact with the world), from IT Conversation and David Orban, Roberto Ostinelli, founders of OpenSpime. [mp3]
David Glazer, engineering director at Google, gives a nice overview and roadmap of the OpenSocial platform...from ReadWriteTalk. [mp3]
StarShipSofa presents a reading of Ted Chiang's "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" [mp3] (via BoingBoing). The text of the (great) story is also online.
