133期:阅读:当大恐龙还是养长尾巴? - Dinosaur or Long Tail_
《连线》杂志的前总编Chris Anderson在10年前提出过一个叫做“长尾”的理论,用来描述亚马逊等网络公司的商业模式,10年后,Anderson已经跑去搞3D打印了,但长尾理论的踪迹却已经无处不在。长尾频出的时代,也正是我们迈向新的社会形态的必经阶段。读《长尾理论》这本书时,我顺手把自己2014年制作的9期视频播客的优酷下载数据用来做实验,结果发现,下载量的数量比严格符合长尾法则。这期节目,咱们来分享一下《长尾理论》这本已经被实践证明的经典互联网理论著作。
Christ Anderson, the ex-chief editor of Wired Magazine published a theory named The Long Tail to describe the business model of internet companies such as Amazon and iTunes Store in 2004. 10 years passed, he continues his adventure in 3D-printing, and long tail is everywhere now. It's also the necessary period for us to march into a new future. After reading the book: The Long Tail, I use the data of my video cast to test the theory, as a result, it's a perfect long tail. In this episode, I'd like to share my feelings about the book: The Long Tail.

132期:科技·从打口带到云端音乐 - From cracked tape to music on cloud
从录音带时代用六角铅笔甩着倒带,到专门把硬盘分个单独的区去下载音乐,再到现在用无线音响播放网络云端的在线音乐,其实也就短短的几年时间,但却真正经历了从原子到比特的跨跃。变化的是技术与载体,不变的是情怀与初心。这期节目,大狗熊想和你聊聊自己这几年的音乐聆听故事。
I used pencil to scroll compact audio cassette years ago, then I build a single disc on my hard drive to store MP3 files that I downloaded from mule, and now I use wireless stereo to enjoy music on cloud. It just a few years, but it seems like ages. No matter how fast technology develops, something real inside the content will not fade away. In this episode, I'd like to share my stories about music listening.

爱财如命的金牛座大狗熊,制订了一个可能只会花掉100块钱的年度英语训练计划,但却会花掉1000小时的时间。这是一期私人定制的学习计划,也是最与众不同的一期学习节目。大狗熊不是以“砖家”的身份教大家一些技巧,而是自己切身实际的要在2015年去实战。连狗熊都在学英语啦,你还好意思只是围观么?
As a really stingy man, I planned a dirty English improving plan may only cost me ¥100, but it will cost me 1000 hours in the next year. This is a private study plan, but also a unique plan too. I will not teach you some skills or tips as a teacher, I will activate my plan as a doer. Well, Bear is learning English now, so you think you will stand aside and keep watching?

127期:做米克贾格尔还是吉姆莫里森? - Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison
吉姆·莫里森和米克·贾格尔堪尔有史以来两个最好的摇滚乐主唱。莫里森以气质和诗词赢得喝彩,贾格尔以精力和天赋夺魁。二十几岁时,莫里森在仅仅4年的演出和录音后就死了。他过于短暂的生命,是系统和秩序的对立面。贾格尔的演艺生涯却持续50年之久,比莫里森长十倍之多。无论是创作音乐,表演,录音,还是管理他复杂的世界,他都是系统管理大师。
以上这段文字,来自一本名叫《用系统来工作》(Work the system)的书,书的作者名叫萨姆·卡彭特,是个美国人,喜欢摇滚,创过业,离过婚。最惨的时候和两个孩子住在办公室的办公桌下面,一天只有3小时的睡眠。目前他是一家公司的大Boss,一周只需要工作两个小时,其余的时间就尽情做自己想做的事情。他把自己如何从屌丝逆袭的经验和经历写成了一本书,就是这本《用系统来工作》。这期播客,咱们来聊聊他的这本书和他的故事。
Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger are the best rock singers in our time. They have a lot of common things: talent, unique and shinning. And they are opposite to each other: Morrison's career only lasted 4 years and died young, Jagger's career lasting for 50 years and he has full control of the the band's and his life. He's the master of system managing. I'd like to talk something about a book in this episode: Work the system, by Sam Carpenter. The story of Morrison and Jagger just come from this book. Sam told us the magical power of systematic mind.

126期:影剧·物理渣科幻狗眼中的《星际穿越》 – Interstellar movie in a sci-fi fan’s eyes
在第五期视频播客(10部不能错过的科幻小说)制作的时候,我查阅一些当年作为科幻粉时的资料,准备录制节目,结果却发现,那些经典科幻世界的瑰丽想象,都已经深深地植根在自己的心中。其实它们一直都在,念念不忘,必有回想,对于我成为现在的这个状态,他们也有着自己的影响。 在影院里观看《星际穿越》时,经典科幻小说中的场景也在我的脑中荡起,除了被影片那壮美的想象力和画面所震撼,被影片中深切的亲情打动之外,我也庆幸自己在二十年前,是一个内向的,不善于交流的,只会默默地读着自己用早餐费买的《科幻世界》杂志,偶尔会在晚自习下课时抬起头,仰望着星空,思绪在激荡的小胖子。他那时积累下来吉光片羽的阅读,正是我现在宝贵的思维财富。 在制作这期视频音频双版播客前,我查阅了物理学的统一场论资料,寻找到迪伦·托马斯的音频朗诵诗版本,搜索了博尔赫斯的“无尽的图书馆”意象……是的,就是这么酷炫,这都是为了你啊,二十年前那个喜欢科幻的内向小胖纸! When I was watching the movie Interstellar in the dark cinema, I cried as a teenage girl and shocked as a little baby. I was deeply impressed by the story, visual impact and sci-fi background. I also felt lucky about myself. 20 years ago, I was a young, choppy and shinny boy, … Continue reading "126期:影剧·物理渣科幻狗眼中的《星际穿越》 – Interstellar movie in a sci-fi fan’s eyes"

125期:旅行·迷失在古城素可泰 - Lost in Ancient Sukhothai
狗熊曾说过泰国是一个怎么去都不会烦的地方,好像是为了验证这句话的正确性似的,我又去泰国啦!这次是去参加素可泰地区一年一度的水灯节庆典活动,在泰国第一个王国的遗迹中,看着古寺落日,皇宫残影,一只熊穿梭其中,想起《花样年华》,不知不觉,我开心地迷失在了素可泰的旧日岁月里。
I've said that Thailand is a place you will never feel boring, no matter how many times you travel there. So, here I am again, in Thailand, for the 3rd time of this year. The purpose of the trip is the ceremony for the Water Lantern Festival in Sukhothai area, the first kingdom of Thailand 700 years ago. I walked in the ancient palace and the abandoned temples, looked at the sunset, it seems everything has a history here, I felt that I'm happily lost in the ancient and the golden times of Thailand.

124期:现场·当我在跑马拉松时我会聊什么 - What am I talking about when I am running a marathon

All the articles describing running are written before or after running itself. But this episode was recorded during my running on Hangzhou International Marathon 2014.
