Things I like
I was listening to Matty in the Morning (Boston area morning radio show) on my laptop this morning and I closed my computer before I left my house with it still running… I come home hours later and my computer is apparently streaming where it left off… weird, but I like it.
i spilled ginger ale on my keyboard
now it’s sticky :(
you like this.
I don’t get Bjork, but I like Radiohead a lot. Am I allowed to do that?
I must find a way to use Tumblr’s storage to host my podcast… I know have s3…
Where should I put my podcasts?
If you read this site, you know I’m working on a podcast… it’s off to a rough start, but there should be an episode this week…
However, I’m trying to do it on the cheap… and by cheap I mean free. I have a nice mic, and I have everything I need to record and edit, but now I just need a place to keep the audio files.

Tumblr theme tip
topherchris:
Call-in posts are automatically given a class of “.from_phone” if you have [TagsAsClasses] output for your posts. Look at mine for a simple example, if you like.

Tumblr needs audio accounts
tumblelogs meant for podcasts and audioblogs.

This should be interesting.
As crazy as this sounds, Im actually interested in seeing (hearing) how this goes. Ben, why don’t you explain WHERE we can listen to this?
Streaming is too difficult right now… So I would probably just record it and upload it here after I’m done.

Crap
Podcast postponed until tomorrow. However, I had everything set up for a record…
If I can find someone to talk to within the next hour or so I’ll do one tonight. It’s not an interview show, it’s a whatever talk show.

I mean like a physical one, not on a website. Is there any sort of official specifications it needs to follow?
This is for something I can’t tell you all about, but you probably wouldn’t be interested if I told you…
Maybe this can help you?
Yes, this helps me a bunch! Thank you.

I’m going to go ride my bike and get heat stroke. I’m making myself do this because I slept until 3pm.

What is the best site for streaming online?
Ustream.tv, Justin.tv, Stickam.com, Mogulus? Is there another one that beats these?

Since my first post was March 7, 2007 that puts me joining within the first fortnight. No wonder I feel like I’ve always been here. I pretty much have, at least as long as there’s been a here.
I joined April 5, 2007, so I about a month after it...

Tumblr hired topherchris
