This is your last chance to regester for the June 7 class.

The “Nuts and Bolts of Podcasting” will cover everything you need to know to start podcasting. Recording, editing, hosting and Feeding. It is a hands on class, meaning you will learn as you do. Ideally, participants should have their own laptop, but we has a couple of ways around that.

The cost is $75 and their are only 8 spots available so email me and we can get you registered.

More information is available at my site amuk.ca

I have decided to pull all the old poddog shows from the feed. The shows are downloaded a lot each month but I’m not sure why, except maybe because of itunes “get all” button. Now bandwidth is not the problem, but I would rather redirect people to Atomic Suburbia.

If you are really interested in the old show shoot me an email and we can work something out.

I really have not been playing with the touch all that much but I do enjoy it. I like watching Ask a Ninja when I have a spare 5 minutes. I bought a 10$ speaker and I love showing people the promotional video for a little non profit I volunteer with or when there is wifi searching youtube for videos by the Creative Monkeys and watch Doug’s face light up when we find one. But the best part is when I demonstrate the z
two finger zoom.

I posted from my blackberry when I got it so it only fair that I post from my new ipod touch. The typing is a bit slow but I think that that’s mostly do to getting used the touch screen. The is always a learning curve when learning a new way of inputting data. It was the same with my first handspring visor that used graffiti 1 to my palm TX that used graffiti 2 to my blackberry pearl that uses a two letter per key system. I am trying to thumb type rather than the one finger way and it seems to be working well.

I am glad I spent the money but it likely wont replace my 2G nano. The nano is a little more durable plus the touch won’t work with my tune talk. Granted, the only reason I could buy it was because I quit smoking. Go Me. And since the iphone will never come to canada I will be happy with it.

I have finished this post on computer, I simply add the links and this part as well as spell check. I find blogging with wordpress on the touch to be a pain, but this is not the fault of the touch. The touch uses safari and safari does not play well with wordpress. Come on wordpress, we need a iphone/touch friendly system.

Shortly after PAB 07 I was approached by the lovely and amazingly talented Sage Tyrtle to be a guest on the Quirky Quiz, part of her wildly popular Quirky Nomads Podcast. I am not kidding when I say this was the single most exciting thing to happen to me since I got into podcasting. Sage has a fantastic show and the Quirky Quiz is a blast to listen to. Oh and to make it even better, I was on with Lord Blevis and Shelly. (Yes, just like Cher, and Bob, Shelly only needs one name.) I have a bit of social anxiety when it comes to things like Skype, and especially group chats but I pulled out my big boy microphone and jumped in. I’m glad I did because it was a lot of fun and the end result sounds pretty good. (Full disclosure, I haven’t listened as of this writing but I have heard from a reliable source that it’s great.)

Thanx Sage for the honor of joining you, Shelly and Mark. I had a blast.
