I made $50 bucks today for about 1.5 hours of work signing people in and out of a dental conference. To offset that increase we bought another mic for Daria’s podcasting along with some headphones. We traped on over to Wal-Mart too, to replace our toilet-drenched cordless phone with a new model. We ended up getting a two-phone package (backup!) with the ability to two-way radio between the two units. Doubt we will use that feature too much but having a second cordless phone will be a nice addition around here since the cordless is inevitably on the floor your not come ring time.
I’m weighing the purchase of a computer. The demos always go on sale at my local campus computer store with every Apple hardware update and this particularly computer is the last of the PowerPC powered Macs, which could come in handy for running the software I currently own. Then again our current computer is getting the job done but slower I imagine. So tempting…

We are getting ever so close to moving ahead with our podcasting dreams. I’ve read a book on podcasting and the equivalent to 2 or 3 more on the internet. The website design is being finalized and we even have an online forum up and running, but still needing design tweaking. We have a clear vision document to guide our efforts and even got our first mention by another podcaster-quite unexpectedly! I’ll post more details as we are ready to release them.

Hey Everyone! Daria and I have been extremely busy bees going hard-core after all things podcasting. She’s recording, I’m reading everything I can get my hands on about sound, podcasting, recording and voice training of all things. The t-shirt selling on podcast alley says it all “Can’t sleep must podcast.”
We’ve created a rather primitive 1 minute podcast for you my faithful readers (all 8 of you?) to download and test and give your feedback. We are still working on the sound quality, mic positioning and editing—basically we just want to hear if you could download the RSS feed and actually hear something on your computer resembling my voice and some music I wrote in Garageband.
Check it out by subcribing to the RSS feed link at the bottom of my blog page or the RSS link below.

If you don’t have a dedicated RSS feeder but you have iTunes 4.9 do the following steps:
Launch iTunes and go under the Advanced menu to Subscribe to Podcast
Paste in this URL www.muirheadkingdom.com/blogs/nathan/wp-rss2.php
Don’t prefix the URL with http as iTunes does that for you
Here is a link to the actual mp3 file should the above not work but you still want to listen.
