No podcast this week - and hi to everyone!
I've got a good reason for this latest delay... my gear's gone missing!
Two weeks ago, we went out of town, and during the packing, the missuz grabbed my recorder and mics, thinking they were the kid's MP3 player. Well, after returning home, I've been unable to locate my stuff. So, that's why there was no podcast last week, and no podcast this week... unless I get lucky and dig it up soon.
It shouldn't be this hard to find one little gadget... but, it's been six months now since my son lost the beta test cell phone I got for him, and it hasn't turned up yet, so I'm not exactly thrilled by that prospect. The hunt shall continue, though!
In unrelated news, I got an Apple TV last week, and it's really cool. The video isn't quite as good as I was hoping to see, but it's on a non-HD tv running at 480i, so there's not much there to work with in the first place. I can access all my music, and podcasts, and cartoons and movies and other stuff that I've downloaded and / or converted right there. The DVD player hasn't been connected in a week, since everything we need it for can be handled by the AppleTV. (Well, that, plus I stole the connector cables from the DVD player to plug in the ApleTV.)
The direct access to YouTube is really slick, too - the family and I have spent hours watching Japanese game show clips, and "High School Muscial" videos, and Doctor Who fanvids, and tons of other stuff. Sure beats network TV :)
Oh, and one last thing - I was looking the ClustrMap the other day, and noticed a sprinkling of hits from all over the US, and a few from out of the country. I don't know if those are just spiders, or live people stipping in for a peek. If you're live people, hi! Thanks for stopping by!
