If there really was a Hell, I’d be standing on the edge. My car died. And I keep getting the same lame-ass phone monkeys when I contact Wells Fargo about what to do now. Could I please speak to someone who can actually READ the notes? My phone died. Again. This time it just won’t

I’m seriously thinking about defaulting on this car. I don’t know what else to do. Casey called me today to yell at me to get a new tire. Apparently his father checked it out and there’s a big chunk missing where it was jammed into a strut underneath. Could blow any minute. Fuck. I got

I heard on a podcast today that there was a WI3D recorded at Dragon*Con. My first impulse was WTF? A little pissed, a little hurt, a bit disappointed. And then I listened to it. Let me list some former WI regulars and guests who were actually at D*C: Me Evo TD0013 Kris the Cheesecake Lady

Geeze you people are nosy. This week was mostly spent at home doing absolutely nothing but catching up on all the podcasts I missed the weeks before. Tuesday’s helping with Tyson was canceled*, but Wednesday I managed to get to Gangplank for his lunchtime talk regarding “What is Art?” After that I hung out with

Man this has been a busy and stressful week. I’m sitting on my ASS this morning and not doing SHIT. Monday Casey called and said he had no money for mPower and could they stay with me until he got paid. Sure, and as soon as Ginnie got home from school with my car, I

and it’s only Thursday. Shit. I completely lost Tuesday. I think I spent the morning driving Ginnie to school and Casey wherever he needed to go. He was late for work, though I did ask him twice what time he needed to be there. I came home from that and crashed HARD. I tried to

I’ve written here and here of Playing For Keeps (podiobook) before. Loved it! And now you can get the published version at amazon.com! Go and order yours today! They’re print-on-demand so demand yours now. Mur (sailormur) is the coolest! Who else would get this kind of ink done? I’m such a fan of this story

Somehow I’m helping with yet another podcast out of Gangplank. That makes three so far. And I’m still figuring things out! Pressure, pressure. There’s the Gangplank Podcast, where they discuss what Gangplank is, social media, marketing, ice fishing, etc. The second podcast hasn’t been announced yet. And the third is run by my friend Tyson

Vegas Baby! The road trip was actually really nice. I got to know someone a little better than I had before and made him laugh and only stopped a few mutually agreed upon times. We left a little after 7 and got to Vegas a little after noon-thirty. I stayed at the Sahara and the

I officially have (and paid for) hotel reservations next weekend for NME, Friday and Saturday night. I’ll be at the Sahara right down the street from the Convention Center. Most people are at the Hilton, but at (currently) $76 a night, mine is a better deal, and it’s on the monorail thingy so I don’t

Ah…you know how to appeal to the audio geek, don’t you?
I see an Audix OM series microphone in the foreground–nice mics. I have an OM-7 I bring out of the mic box for live work when I get “difficult” voices. Then a Nady HPA4 headphone splitter–I can’t quite make out the mixer in the photo…is it a small Mackie? And I don’t recognise your mic.
Anyway, looks like fun. It’s tempting to start podcasting from here, except I have nothing to say!

Um, er, mixer? That box with all the knobs and buttons? I’m at the “just learning how to make a difference” part, not the “I know the pros and cons of every variety of equipment out there” part.
Everything is donated, except the headphone splitter. I think my mic and the other one you see are the same, but we have two more set up that are different.
