Or, it’s-been-so-long-I-had-to-log-in-again.

The podcast

I’ll start with the latest episode of the w(t)f podcast. It’s actually a week old and the last one I’m going to be doing for a while. I explain it in the show, but here is a short list of reasons:

• Sound quality – I know y’all like the shows from the MINI, but I can’t stand to listen to them myself because I think they sound so poor
• Topic quality – I’m not vain enough to talk about myself on a podcast as the primary topic, which is the direction it was heading in
• Work flow – This show had to be easy. Record, mix down, upload done. While it was easy to do, if I forgot my memory card reader, then the show didn’t happen.
• Consistency – I wasn’t able to come up with a regular schedule for this show. I know, from previous experience, that this is a big deal. You can say otherwise, but you would be lying

I’m sorry it didn’t work out. I really want to do another show, but not in the format that I have just experimented with. I will revist this again at another time, but something with more user interaction and something with audio quality I would be happy with.

w(t)f_ep9: no player. sorry, it sounded chimpmunked.

I’ve also made episode 0 available here as well if you missed it on pownce. You can get it here and you can download ep9 here

iPods and updates

I want to take a minute to thank those of you that contributed to the Lad’s iPod fund! It really meant a lot to him and myself, that there are people out there nice enough to want to help. Thank you!

He thinks that money went toward the purchase of a new bike. ha ha. It’s actually still sitting in my paypal account for 2 more weeks. At which point, I will surprise him with a new one, sort of a back to school surprise. Don’t tell him, ok?

I still have to get another copy of my drivers license. I have had a few automotive issues that needed to be resolved first. I’m hopeful that I will be able to get it taken care of this week. There is an alternate DMV on my way to work that usually isn’t very busy, so I’m going to try to hit them up one day on my drive in.

That’s about it for now. The ‘rents are here until Wednesday, so you know I’ll have something really good to post!

   That’s great to hear about the iPod! Did you notice the scheduled “apple event” on September 5? If you haven’t bought it already you may want to hold off (supposedly the touch-screen iPods are coming).

   Also- i tried commenting on the “I’m sour” post but I got a wordpress database error..?

   saw the announcement. I’m hoping for the phone-less iPhone.

   Database error? I’m on it!

   I just left a comment there without a problem.

   Maybe a server hiccup?
