powered by ODEOAh, another podcast, not that anyone listens to these things.

If anyone was keeping count, we’re on number four, and we’ve reached the point in the program where in I have stopped the editing. I did not edit any of my recording, other than trying to ensure that everything is approximately at the same level of volume. Listening to it with my volume bar dead center on the laptop give me a not-too-loud podcast that is doesn’t have too many volume jumps.

The content for this podcast is rather tame. I spend a little bit of time on my birthday next month, more time on things I hate to see in public, and I spill the beans on a super-secret project with a super-secret name that I won’t spill because I haven’t bought the domain name yet.

There is music in this podcast, but most likely You won’t like it. Good thing it’s my podcast, huh? The music also has nothing to do with the podcast, but I thought it’d be a good way to break up the podcast into parts. As always, I’m open to suggestions for what to include as music (must be podsafe, as always), and I’ll check it out.

Music Included

• Uma Floresta - If You’re Singing By Yourself
• Circle in a Square - Feels Like a Sunday
• Ocean Alexander - Pertinent not Penitent

All music downloaded from Pod Safe Audio, and so you are welcome to download them as well.

That’s all I have for you. No links or anything, because I didn’t talk about anything link-able. As always, I welcome comments, either here, or you can leave me a voice comment through Odeo.

Now, any bets on how long until the next podcast?

- “Letters,” Nasty Little Thoughts: Stroke 9

powered by ODEOAfter a long dry spell, I finally found something good enough to podcast about: I’ve been accepted into 9rules!

I only wrote about submitting for round 4 once, and I fully didn’t expect to get in, so this is an honor I really didn’t think I was going to get.

I don’t really have much to say about the podcast, other than that I’m sure my excitement comes through. I did tell my Mum and Dustin about getting it, and while they don’t really understand it (not a big surprise there), they’re both happy for me.

Other new 9rulers I’m happy to join in with:

• Ben Gray of OpenSwitch
• Derek Punsalan of 5ThirtyOne
• Lorelle VanFossen of Lorelle on Wordpress

However, there is one site I’m surprised didn’t make it in this round, because I thought she was a shoo in, definitely over me. Kristen Pishdadi is a great writer with far more interesting content than I do, and her photo blog leaves me drooling. Hopefully she’ll get in next round, if she still wants it.

Anyway, that’s all for now. Kinda.

Alright, I’m working on a super-secret project with a classmate, and as soon as I figure out the schematics of how it’s going to work, I’ll post the info here. But, like I said. Super secret. Because if it falls through, I don’t want anyone laughing at me…

- “Build God, Then We’ll Talk,” A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out: Panic! At the Disco

powered by ODEOI seem to have actually completed something. Something that took me more than one night to finish. Yeah, I’m a bit shocked, also.

So, I present my second podcast, complete with music, and randomness up the ass. This podcast clocks in at just over 30 minutes, and it took me about two hours to go through and edit it and remove all the um’s and uh’s that I say when I loose my train of thought. Also, I didn’t realize I breathed very loud, and I tried to cut that out as well.

Randomness is the name of the game, and I cover a bad idea (as in, I’m not genius when it comes to Math), questions people think but never ask, and a retelling of how I annoy the guys in class with me. Also, the obligatory digression is included, and I even noted it when it happened.

I’m feeling a little iffy with the sound, I’m not sure if it’s too loud or not, because everyone’s systems are different. I would appreciate it if people would comment, and let me know how I did, and whether it should be louder or quieter.

Music Included

• Ocean Alexander - Mad World, from the album Belmont.
• Ocean Alexander - Intro to Psyche, from the album Belmont.
• Ocean Alexander - Kid Icarus, from the album This Island Life.
• Ocean Alexander - Drinking Heart, from the album Tricked Out.
• Podsafe Audio - where I found Ocean Alexander.

Other Links

• Naked photos of Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy (see, sometimes I will do the searching for you. Not that I wanted to see these.)

So, that’s what’s up for today. As always, you can leave me a comment through Odeo, and let me know how useless this whole endeavor is.

Also, I’ve received confirmation from You that he and I will be producing a podcast together as soon and we work out the semantics. Mostly, whether or not Skype will work with my crap dial-up. Look forward to a podcast all about sex coming soon. Should be interesting.

- “The Only Difference Between Matyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage,” A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out: Panic! At the Disco

powered by ODEO
Ah, after a weekend of breaking promises left and right, I do finally present to you my very first podcast.

Warning: It’s rather crappy. I had a sore throat while recording it, so it’s rather raspy. Which I suppose is an improvement over being overly nasally, which is my natural range. I decided just to go forward with it, or I’d never get it done. Also, minimal edits, or again, it would never get done.The podcast is about 25 - 30 minutes long, wherein I ramble on about nothing. At the moment, I can hardly remember what I talked about. I think I made vague mentions to other podcasts, and probably school, but other than that, it’s a big blank.

When I get home tonight, I’ll try to listen to it again, and figure out what linkage I should be throwing up here.

As always, leave me a comment, either here or through Odeo, and it will probably help me figure out what I’ll be doing next time.

And yes, there will be a next time. Even if no one ever listens, I’ll still be here, rambling on about stuff no one wants to listen too.

Edit: Here are the links I promised and failed to deliver in a timely manner. After listening to the podcast (again), I figured out what I needed to be posting links for:

• KnitCast PodCast
• Pointy Sticks PodCast
• Christopher got a shoutout, so it’s only fair he gets a link.
• Michael over at Binary Bonsai, and how I listen to his podcast even while I think it’s slightly boring.
• Fall Out Boy, and their MySpace page (I shutter that I had to link to MySpace just so people who have never heard them can download a song).
• Coming Soon: Concert photos taken by K.

Oh, and always, please please leave me a comment through Odeo. It’ll help me figure what’s coming next.
