Let’s file this under "whoops"

segwayne logo 282x300 Lets file this under "whoops"Was sitting here at Big Ed’s tonight, playing on the new Macbook Pro laptop when I decided to check out the podcasts for ideas.  Lo and behold, you can’t hear podcasts if you completely forget to pay for the hosting on the site they’re posted on, right?

It’s not like anyone cares, but I’ll see about getting them re-posted, or maybe starting over soon  Gotta justify keeping the iMac now that the laptop is here…

SegWayne radio — "I’d give good money if he’d shut up"

u47 m vf 14 in mount1 SegWayne radio    "Id give good money if hed shut up"I love the title, but once again, Friday night and I’m bored to death.  Can’t sleep, so I thought I’d see how far I’d progressed down the padawan’s path to podcasting (say that 5 times really fast)…  Anyway, click the play button for my review of the Apple iPhone 3g.

I am *so* ready for a long weekend…

u47 m vf 14 in mount1 I am *so* ready for a long weekend...Welcome to the start of whatever holiday weekend this is.  I always forget, but then again my only focus is “three day weekend”. icon smile I am *so* ready for a long weekend...

Spent the week while not working looking for loops, audio tracks, stingers, and the like for podcasting.  Yeah, I get kinda focused when I find something new.  Sorry.  I’d LOVE to buy Apple’s “Logic Studio”, not so much for the software but for the 15,000 or so audio tracks in the box.  It’s the $500 price tag which dissuades me at this point.

99% of the tracks in the Logic studio would more than likely be useless crap (like a piano hitting a “c” key) but I find that when I get into a hobby, I start collecting.  Whether it’s firearms, D&D, castle building, or whatever.  It’s the reason that hobbies for me are usually financially deadly pastimes.

Anyway…  The next problem I face about podcasting is having anything to talk about (sorta like this blog post, huh?)..   What I’ve found by listening to other podcasts for inspiration is that they’re either structured like a meeting (they have an agenda), or they’re free-form talking about a specific subject between two or more people.

Since I don’t have a ” ‘cast mate “, that leaves me with writing scripts or talking points, and frankly I feel the need to focus on something.  I just don’t know what…  movies?  riding? Days of our Lives?  The ideas are endless, the ability to decide is not.

Then again, honestly, I could just do three separate podcasts, one on each subject that interests me and tie them together as part of “the SegWayne Radio Network” like a local, non-syndicated DJ on the radio here does.   That however would quickly turn a fun brain exercise into more like work.  Since I’m a member of the world’s oldest profession, meaning that I’m a capitalist, working for free is hardly appealing.

If anyone listening knows of a good source of audio tracks (mostly intros, stingers, and the like), please chime in and let me know.  Otherwise, I’d also accept the kindly donation of Apple Logic Studio if you happen to be an extremely bored millionaire who gets your jollies from granting wishes to talentless hacks with desire to be something different.  icon smile I am *so* ready for a long weekend...

Enjoy your weekend.
