If it’s Sunday, it’s bible study day. My take on the story of Adam and Eve. No worries, there are things other than the genesis of man inside. ALSO, the sounds in the background are not me passing gas. I was sitting on a leather sofa when I recorded this podcast. Really, I was.

Old Podcasts

FYI: Uploading my old podcasts to Libsyn just isn’t going to work. I have decided to reactivate my “Mobile Me” account. The link to “My video page” now points to my Mobile Me gallery. The quality of the videos are better than on “YouTube”. All the old podcasts can be listened to by following this link.

Old podcast

Old podcast #232 “Troubling things” has been uploaded. I don’t remember what I was troubled about in this podcast recorded in April of 2008. You’ll need to listen to find out. It was recorded remotely with the Zoom H2. Click here to listen or right click to download.

331 My way of thinking

In Uncategorized on January 6, 2009 at 7:44 pm

My thoughts turn to Apple computer and the upgrade of Apple’s iLife software. I like the new image stabilization built into iMovie 09. For $79.00 the iLife 09 upgrade is a package I’ll be purchasing. I also talk about questions of Steve Job’s heath. More. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Zoom H2. Total running time: 37 minutes 23 seconds.

Where did they go?

In Uncategorized on January 3, 2009 at 7:30 pm

I have made a decision not to reactivate my “Mobile Me” account. How does this affect you? You will no longer be able to listen to my older podcasts #001 through #232. Those podcasts were hosted on my Apple iDisc. The good news? I still have these podcasts on my personal computer. I will post one older podcast each successive Thursday. This means I’ll be recording live on Tuesday and Saturday only. Therefore, this Tuesday, January 6th will be a “new” podcast; on Thursday, January 8th, I will repost “old” Podcast #232 “Troubling things” and Saturday, January 10th, will be a “new” podcast, so on and on. I’ll do this until I’ve completed the library. This way I’ll have an archive of all my work. Read the rest of this entry »

330 Don’t worry about me

In Uncategorized on January 3, 2009 at 4:44 pm

I decided to go ahead and upgrade to a Directv HD DVR. I thought it would be easy to install the new hardware myself. It would have been if the first installer had done what he said he’d do to make connecting the new DVR easier. The Charter installer came this morning to install a telephone I did not need but decided to buy in a combo package to lower my Charter bill. I also talk about how you should not worry about me. There’s no complicity; no responsibility to look after me. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Zoom H2. Total running time: 44 minutes 41 seconds.
