I discovered what3words.com whilst watching a random YouTube clip the other day. It was on this channel if you're interested.

What they do is really fascinating to me being someone who's interested in maps and tech. Essentially they've mapped the entire world into 3 by 3 metre squares and then assigned a string of 3 words to each of those squares. Test the map out here map.what3words.com

For example, if I input fall.through.indoor I get this really specific location at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. That is excellent for finding where a mate is a stadium. In the pod I'm also thinking about how awesome this might be for events, delivery companies, uber and people organising picnics.

I've become a huge fan of the podcast as a medium over the last 6 months.

Listing off some of my favourite podcasts: The Talk Show with John Gruber, The Vergecast, Titus and Sergio's Variety Hour, The Bill Simmons Podcast and Song Exploder.

I find it really peaceful listening to a great podcast especially in situations where I'm working and need some ambient noise in the background.

Some interesting moves made by Snapchat in recent days with a user interface update of the app. Go here for the video promo and here for the press release.

This article is an interesting read about what Facebook has been testing with their newsfeed. 

I'm thinking of getting a snap account again if people say the update is good. 

The Product Hunt entry for the Snapchat update has some good discussion in the comments.

Spent a fair chuck of time today being a perfectionist and probably not working on what I should have been. But that's alright I did get some stuff done.

I managed to create a new resume and "presenting who I am" structure. So now all of this can be found at various telegra.ph pages. It still all starts at harrisonmalone.info which acts as my about page but from there you can easily get to my online resume or my "what I can do" page.

For those who aren't aware of the medium.com business model it's quite an interesting one. Read about it here.

I kind of again realised how annoying podcasting can be. Apple Podcasts just makes it very difficult to put your work on their platform. Soundcloud is the easiest way to do it but you don't have pro features like being able to do markdown style show notes. I tested out a few other podcast hosting platforms today like squarespace.com and libsyn.com but either it's too expensive (Squarespace) or just really outdated (Libsyn). There is a way to get the proper show notes (with markdown) through Wordpress but boy I do not like Wordpress anymore. Can't believe I dealt with it for so long.

You are listening to The Melon Podcast. This is another one of my experiments where I'll be attempting to produce a two minute piece of audio everyday!

The gist of the show will be me commenting on something happening in technology, sport, music or popular culture. I'm also going to put out one or two shows a week that will be a little more polished. For more information related to what I'm working on head to my about page.

Just wanted to say that I've been listening to a lot of Binge Mode lately and it's absolutely brilliant check it out here.
