<p>It took 14 months longer than intended to get this episode done! To make up 
for it, I've unintentionally ended up with enough time of me talking to almost
make up a minimal-useful-sized episode every month while everyone's been 
waiting.</p>
<p>Today's episode of "Thoughtkindness" consists of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Me begging for forgiveness for disappearing for a year.</li>
<li>An update on "bunnies", my linux laptop from Ohava Computers</li>
<li>Over an hour of my attempt to collect and explain why we need 
to make media on the internet more "freetarded"</li>
</ul>
<p>After revealing what ticked me off and made me start on this episode, I 
launch into a short technical and historical talk about the handful of audio 
and video files that matter on the web today.</p>
<p>(Opus, Ogg Vorbis, WebM, MP3, Flash Video, MP4, and a few others).</p>
<p>Following this, I explain why I think the legally-free media formats are
so important, and much more useful than most people seem to recognize, why
I think we need to be paying more attention to audio than video, and what
needs to happen to make legally-free media ubiquitous.</p>
<p>I conclude by once again begging for attention and foolishly publically
announcing that I want to try to develop some software and invite everyone
to pester me for it as well as for future audio shows. Maybe I won't be 
allowed to procrastinate for another year before producing more this time.</p>
<p>Let me know if this is helpful or at least entertaining...</p>
<p>Note: an Opus version of this episode will be available at
https://hpr.dogphilosophy.net for either online listening in 
Firefox 15 or later, or downloading for listening in VLC or 
other Opus-supporting applications.</p>
