Podcasting
Have you heard of podcasting? In a nutshell, it is audio blogging. You have a client that downloads new entries and loads them into your music player. So it's sort of like radio except you can listen to it whenever you want. A good site for an intro to podcasting is http://www.ipodder.org/. It also lists tons and tons of podcasts. People podcast about all sorts of things, just like blogging.
The thing that is cool about podcasting is it ties different technologies together -- RSS, blogging and MP3's are all part of the technology that makes up podcasting.

The power of podcasting is just starting to sink in for me. I can listen to what I want when I want. MP3 players and the like have made this possible for music for a long time. Now, though, it is true of non-music "radio" type stuff as well, like the news or various programs like Air America, Democracy Now! or (perhaps someday) Car Talk.
