In this trendwatching podcast, Nora Young and Cathi Bond mention earideas.com.  It’s a new boutique site for the best podcasts of a literary, scientific, artistic or philosophical nature.  It’s run by the folks behind Collectik and Librivox (Chris Goringe and our pal in podcasting, Hugh McGuire).  Full disclosure: earideas recommends our other podcasts, Spark and the Prosecast.

Nora talks about a cool idea she saw in The Guardian: huge kite sails to power giant cargo shipping vessels, thereby reducing power usage.

Cathi discusses Microvision’s mini-projector,  so that you can take a small image from your portable media player and blow it up to shine on the wall. Share your movies, still photos etc. (via Engadget)

Nora also mentions ethiquette.ca, a Quebec-based website that lists socially responsible businesses.
