Ladies and Gentlemen,
I need help, so call this another bleg if you will. Where would you rather go for the podcasts? The Angry Sweeper videocasts are a long way off, but the audio version is very close to fruition. I’m thinking of adding a page to bobtherieau.com for audio and syndicating on iTunes. Should I just link to new shows or embed the audio here as well? It’ll slow down page loads, but do you really care? Are your connection speeds fast enough that embedding wouldn’t be an issue?
Speaking of entertainments, I just received a refurbished Airport Express base station and I love it. For the uninitiated, it’s a wireless base station the size of a pack of the old fat Marlboro Reds (oh c’mon, you remember those, don’t you? back in high school? pounding the things at parties looking tough, coughing your lungs out the next day?). It has an audio jack to connect to your stereo, so you can stream tunes from your computer through the ether. The sound quality is as good as the junky bitrate you encoded your songs in, and speaking for myself, the high end clipping is entirely due to my frugality in ripping CDs to keep the sizes down rather than the connection itself. The lavishly large AAC files I’ve created lately though, sound wonderful.
The price has dropped because there’s a new version that has much faster wireless transfer speeds. My crop of machines can’t use the extra speed, so the last generation works well for me. I love me some gizmos and this fits the bill quite nicely. You should pick one up before they’re gone.
Oh! There’s this too—both sites are due for a redesign. My thought is is that they should have a similar look. Same fonts. Similar banners. Same color schemes. Remember, if you don’t make suggestions I’m liable to stake out on my own and we all know how badly that can turn out. I’ll answer that for you…
Really quite badly.
