If you have suggestions for music that I should play during my show, please either send me an email or leave a link in this comment thread.
I’m not going to play RIAA or other music that doesn’t permit free distribution, so keep that in mind.
You can look at the Creative Commons “Find” page. See the “Audio” section on that page.
www.garageband.com is another place to look.
For the U.S. residents, hopefully most of your electronics will handle it for you automatically, but for those that don’t, don’t forget to set your clock back one hour tonight.
My third show that no one is listening to.
I talk about the Sony PSP, Football, interface design, my gripes about politics in podcasting, the iPod photo and some Palm internet apps.
Here are the links:
Ballot Access
Tussh

Podcast: TS_2004-10-29.mp3
So on my podcast I promised some pictures, so here they are…
Item #1:
Item #2:
Item #3:
Item #4:
EA
EA Games
EA Sports
EA Sports Big
If you don’t know why these pictures and links are here then you better listen to the show!
Speaking of the show. I’m suprised that I have not yet received a single email.
I’ve had 246 downloads of the first show and 161 downloads of the second show.
Is everyone downloading but not listening???
In what I think is a first for podcasting,[See the comments. I'm not first 
] I am holding a contest complete with prizes! You’ll have to listen to the show for more details.
This show has a mini-review of the PlayStation2 Eyetoy, the Palm WiFi card, songs by The D.A.’s, The Tones, and ManiacDown, and information about my contest.
Also, if you are confused about my comment regarding bandwidth at the end of the show, it’s because I actually had to record the start of the show a couple times and I had forgotten that I didn’t talk about bandwidth in the second recording. Basically I have noticed during playing Planetside (a massively multiplayer online game) that people downloading my show is impacting my latency (and thus ability to play the game). So I am going to try to find someplace where I can host these files for free that isn’t on my home network.
Please leave some feedback about the show in the comments!

That means 104 downloads of my first show. Now granted, I did see some duplicate downloads in there (for some reason), but still neat to see the number of downloads. I’m going to have to start to putting up my mp3′s on a different site because I’ve already noticed impact to my online gameplaying from people dl’ing the show.
Anyone know any sites that host files for free?
For some reason my WordPress doesn’t want to let me upload files.
It errors out when it’s trying to validate the file extension, but it’s not because the extension is bad. It’s because it doesn’t appear to have the name of the file at all. I don’t know if this is because I’m running an alpha or something else. I spent a little bit of time looking at the php code but didn’t have enough time to dig back through it.
If anyone knows about this, drop me a note.
I updated the look of my blog a little bit. Added a jpg header to make it look a little bit less cookie-cutter. Moved the sidebar a bit as well.
Yes I know that the shorts colors clash with the orange. I’m not sure if I like that or not yet.
What do you think of the logo? Took me a bit longer than I wanted to put it together because I had to photograph the boxer shorts and then do the photoshop work.
I tried to setup a trackback in my previous post, but apparently either
1) I don’t know how to do it properly.
2) WordPress doesn’t support trackback properly
or
3) geekswithblogs.com doesn’t support trackbacks properly.
I don’t know which it is, but I’m leaning toward #2 or #3. I guess I should try to trackback a different site to see if it works.
At any rate, here is a link to an explanation of trackbacks http://www.movabletype.org/trackback/beginners/
