On the front page of Channel9. . . Last night a simultaneous video/podcast that I did with Charles Torre was posted on the front page of the developer-to-developer site at http://channel9.msdn.com   In it I talk about how I got into podcasting, how we use podcasting at Microsoft and a few thoughts about the future of podcasting.   It's something you just shouldn't miss!   A new hotel room accessory. . . The 21C hotel is no ordinary hotel. http://www.21cmuseumhotel.com/   The hotel, in Louisville, KY promises to let visitors "sleep with art".   The valet rides a Segway. There's no check-in desk - guest go directly to their rooms. And every room comes with an iPod, pre-filled with guest's favorite music.   Guests are contacted five to seven days before arrival to determine their music preferences to load onto the iPod.   Hotel rates are $209 to $359, although Louisville residents can stay there on weekends for $119.     Podcast of the day. . .
