Discuss. Actually, I did!

I participated in a novel, maybe even cutting-edge blogosphere phenom this weekend. My friend Bob Wright, author of The Moral Animal, polymath, and former columnist for The New Republic, runs a site called blogginheads.tv that allows two bloggers to appear side-by-side in an unedited and unrehearsed conversation about, well, whatever, but usually current events. The site was made popular by Bob's conversations with Mickey Kaus, also a friend of mine and author of the famed Feiler Faster Thesis, based on a theory I mentioned to him one night many years ago and that prompted the name of this blog. (And, yes, sooner or later I'll explain the story behind both. Actually, I do in the diavlog with Bob.)

Anyway, Bob and I had a conversation on Friday video videophone (mine is a bit distorted, fisheye-style) and you can view it here. We discussed God in the 2008 election, Obama and the Jews, Is Shia Islam rising in the Middle East, Is Osama Bin Laden the new Martin Luther, and other topics. The conversation lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes. It's great for having the background while you're doing more important things and is also available on downloadable podcast. Also, you can click on just the parts you're interested in without having to listen to the entire thing.

Special thanks to Bob and Brian for sending me all the necessary equipment, even if it did make me look like a bobblehead not a blogginhead.
