No Podcast

Teachers tend to give massive amounts of work the day we get back from a huge break. Not cool. That plus a combination of odd things will lead me to no podcast for tonight. I really want to do one, but I probably won't be able to. I should get one in tomorrow, tho.

Into the Grind

The Thanksgiving break is ending, as we all know. I will be having to go back to school. :( I have thoroughly enjoyed my break. Also, another podcast is ready for your ears.

Turkey

Well, I really wanted to do a podcast, but the events of the day + the extreme sleepiness will keep me from doing one tonight. My iPod just recently went wacko. The songs are still there, its just the OS doesn't recognize them, neither does my computer, REALLY ANNOYING!! I'm tired. goodnight.

That 60's Christmas Show

Last night I went to "The Boiler Room" community theatre to see "That 60's Christmas Show". You can get my full review in the podcast from last night. Now, I realize that there need to be a few improvements on the show, and I believe this podcast will be very different from the other, just in the way I speak and all. I put some good thought into this one; tell me what you think... O, and its taken me this long to post it because my cable modem is worthless. I have also found an alternative to hosting my own podcast. It should be up and running by the next podcast, making the download much much quicker.



Get the podcast here!


Production Notes:
First Song: "Le Monde" by The Thievery Corporation.
Second (last) Song: "PBS/KAE" by Tycho.

Other Links Mentioned:
The Boiler Room Theatre. You can purchase tickets online as well!

Freeview: the Free British digital T.V. equivalent. (well, nothings free, but it's pretty close.)

Also, you can now send me an audio comment by calling 1-440-551-4525. It will then email me the audio file, and who knows, if its a good comment, it might appear in the next show! All sorts of cool things are happening.

At School

Well, i'm at school for this post, so I'll have to make it quick. My internet was down this morning, so i couldn't post my podcast that I did last night. I explain most things in there, so you oughta listen to it. :-P



Production Notes:

Opening Song: "Sal Del Mar" by System 7 on album "The Seventh Wave".

Ending Song: Got from Indie Feeds:. They should explain the rest. Since I'm at school, I can't tell you the links to where to go, but once you listen to the podcast, Ir'll tell you. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will edit this once I get home, if I have time...

P.S. I also can't help the fact that the speed for download of my podcast is about as slow as my finger nail's growth rate. I am trying to find an alternative host on the web. I really don't want to pay extra money/ can't pay extra money. Any ideas?

A day off

Yesterday I did not update, mainly because it was friday. I don't have another podcast for you guys, but I should be doing one again sometime soon. Say, tomorrow... perhaps. I'll tell you all about my weekend fun then. For now, I'm uber tired. I will be taking the weekend off from blogging. :-(

Back to the Grind

Aaannnd, I'm back here today. I have quite a bit of homework to do. Lots of studying, but next week is only a two day week. And my motivation for this week is the Band of Brothers marathon tomorrow. Word.

I do also have another podcast for you guys. Its about 23 minutes long. I think I'm finally figuring out how to do this.



Production Notes:
Recording Program Used: Audacity for Windows
Opening Song: By: Acapulco Soundlab. Very cool independant band I found on GarageBand.com. As they so aptly stated:


It "Gives your brain that fresh, minty feeling."
:-D

Krog


Well, I actually did another podcast tonight. I really wanted to just test my new headset. MUCH better sounding, I hope you guys enjoy the random twist I throw in... With the music...



Please, tell me what you think of the podcast, any improvements, things to talk about... etc...

New Blogo!

That's right guys. I was up until 12 playing with photoshop and this image.
Tell me what you think! :-D


My day was a little wierd, I spent the afternoon with dad. Ate dinner, came home. mom talked to me for about 30 mins, so that would be why i haven't done a podcast for today. OOooo yeah, and today i got one of Plantronic's Headsets Audio 40 model. i'll be glad to use it while recording my next podcast.

Another Podcast

Yeah, so this is what I did in my spare time. The voice recording should sound a lot better. I explain most of it in the podcast. I don't know why I did another one, but enjoy! (that's two days in a row. :-P)



uhhhhhhh, yeah. this'll be the last podcast I ever do that includes mainstream music. being a kid, i have the right to mess up and throw in some mainstream coldplay... riiiiigght.....

A new era

here begins a new era in my life. The play is over, just about everything in school reminded me of it somehow... it's hard. I'. ( i guess). yeah, well. I'm hoping some of my friends will have a LAN party soon, so there. :-P (what?!?!) Tyler was sick today. I hope you get better, man. Latin just isn't the same.

As for a podcast. I gave up last night after a few failed attempts. maybe I expect to much from myself and a G3, maye not. but it sucked. It was about a 20 minute show too. I just don't want to put such a bad recording out on the internet. if you feel differently, feel free to let me know.

YOU KNOW WHAT?!?! I'M GOING TO RELEASE MYPODCASTINTO THE WILD!! GO, RUN FREE!! (man, am i wierd.)

So long, xanga.

Current list of those willing/looking at leaving/or allready left xanga.

Agent Skippy, of course.
Blake A.
tyler
Will G.
Alex A.
...
any others?

As for keeping everything in one place for ease of use, my brother has shown me an awesome alternative. its Del.icio.us. Here is a small preview, it is my Delicious account. You can organize all your "bookmarks into one single page/database using a gmail-like organization system (not that of the standard Folder hierarchy). I can start adding a bunch of FRA blogs to my list, and tag them with FRAblogs tag, then when you go to http://del.icio.us/tag/FRAblog you will find all the blogs added by anyone in their database (if you create your own account, you can add as well) bam, everyone is connected. AAANNDD you can subscribed to these through RSS Feeds. (RSS= really simple syndication). It is a borken down, nothing but the text version of a weblog, which is much easier to read from a simple txt file than going to and searching through your mail/ the xanga pages. DON'T BE AFRAID OF CHANGE XANGANEERS. The time has come...

P.S.- ask me about any of this, and I'll explain with better detail. and, as for a podcast, I should have one by tomorrow sometime. :)

ITS ALL OVER!!

I don't believe it... "The Dining Room" is over... What'll I do in the afternoons? THANKSGIVING IS NEXT WEEK?!?!?!?! Holy crap, what happened to the past two weeks. (spent them in a freaking dining room) I loved every minute of it. There won't be a podcast to go with this post due to the homework that I must complete :-(. What a bummer, what a way to end the entire show... doing homework... Anyway, the next few days'll be really really hard. i'm gonna have to find some way to get by, I know I will. I'll probably end up buying the soundtrack to How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying for something to look forward to. Allright, I'm out for the night.


O yeah, and i changed the URL for the blog to http://DailyGrindCoffee.blogspot.com . It just makes more sense...

My only night off

The latest audioblog I did thid one last night, my only night off from the Dining Room. Enjoy. I apologize in advance for the crappy audio recording of my voice. Its either the mic I'm using, or the crap stuck in my throat thanks to the cold weather, or probably a combination of the two. :-P

Check out my podcast from this past friday. (AKA: my only night off)



Feedburner better recognize this...

PodCasting

Well guys, I will be setting up a better podcast sometime soon. Once the play is over, I'll have more time. So I'm just going to put that initiative on the pending shelf...

The Dining Room

That's all that my life has been for the past couple of days. One BIG Dining Room...

The Daily Grind

So, I'm having some trouble with this feedburner thing. I'm Not exactly sure what to do, but I'm REALLY tired, I'll have to get back to that in about a week, after the play...



I'll get this feedburner thing worked out. In time... Aaaannnndd... I apologize in advance for the CRAPPY CRAPPY recording, i'm in the throws of a play, so.

well, I ended up taking the post off, because it sucked so badly, i'll get back to you this weekend.

NEW!! PodCast!

This blog can generate RSS feed. You know how much xanga sucks?!?! Well, I looked into podcasting. Its like a radio show/blog/thing. Its really interesting, it'll be big, revolutionizing the radio. This'll just be a test to see what all I can do, hopefull you xanganeers can go for a little change. Seriously, xanga sucks. The only reason I use it is because all you FRAers use it. Time for something different.
