More experimenting with Flash players

Yes, I know, it looks incredibly unprofessional of me to post messages such as this one letting people know that I still am looking for more ways to implement audio. I'm not a programmer, but I am trying a few things out to make it easier for people to hear some of the audio I've helped record in the last few years.


powered by ODEO

(I can't get my custom player to work, so I will leave this one up from Odeo, which seems to be updating again. I guess it's still alive?)

To make this a real blog entry, I will say something about my day. I slept in today until 9:00, which is a very long time these days. I was at WNRN four days this week. I've also been very busy. Crazy busy. And there could be some interesting changes ahead for me.

Today we went to Maharajah for lunch, and then the mall, and then the pet store. We bought a new leash for Billy. His other one went missing. Billy is also going to get shorn tomorrow. He's incredibly wooly at the moment, very matted.

I am going to work well into the evening, and then a busy day tomorrow. What's your day going to be like?

Busy also.

I wish I knew more about podcasting - you're trying to build a custom flash player instead of just using Odeo or some other one?

I wish I knew more about podcasting, too! I know it's not going to be a mass medium in this country. Very much a niche medium, and one that I doubt will grow much more. There's too much going on, and Americans aren't generally looking for more things to listen to. Now, in other countries, I think it will work, but here, I don't know.

I don't see much of a future for Odeo, and I'd rather run my own through my own server. That way I can hopefully expose someone to the idea that my site exists. I'm a big fan of the idea of using embedded players, but I don't draw much of that to my own site.

Running as sense-making

It's going to be a stressful day. I got up at 7:00 AM to start work and I could sit here in front of my computer for the next 10 days and still not get it all done. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but I'm prone to that awful habit when I'm under stress. I'm under stress at the moment as I try to balance work, my other work, and my need to run six miles or so every other day. In 14 minutes my feet will hit the street and I'll be off. No phone. No e-mail. Just me and my feet. I'm even going to skip the iPod today so I can hear the birds, and so I can concentrate on my surroundings. I don't know where I'm going to go. I know I'll leave the condo and will turn left up Commonwealth Drive. From there? I don't know for sure, but I can guarantee you the day will become a lot less stressful.

What happens next after Facebook?

I just completed a long day at work in my new job. I worked on the Downtown Mall to get ready, and felt charged by the snow falling. It's winter now,  my favorite season, and I wanted to just watch it happening while I prepared two public comments I made at the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors meeting. I didn't want to put the above on Facebook, but that's the kind of status update I used to feel comfortable rattling off without any thought. When I joined the site, I was a reporter for Charlottesville Tomorrow. I think. I think that was back in 2008 or so? At the time, I had gotten so used to posting on this blog, which I consider public record. What I have written on this site since 2005 or so is a document of my life during that time.  I stopped posting here on a regular basis a long time ago. I would post items to Facebook, in part because I wanted a larger audience. I wanted to communicate to more people than I could reach here, and I wanted interaction.

Video builds the radio guy

I'm watching the tail end of the debut of Max Headroom, one of those shows from the late 80's that seemed so amazingly different, refreshing. The premiere revolves around an advertising conspiracy that's killing people. When I was a kid, this seemed so futuristic and somehow important. A television show was critiquing television practices. Now, the irony comes in because I'm watching this show on Joost , which is a new service created by the makers of Skype and KaZaa. There's advertising, of course, but it seems so seamless, you hardly notice it. A friend of mine sent me an invite today, and there's a ton of content here that I can watch legally, as often as I want. And, the picture is pretty darned good, full-screen. Everything is changing, and changing fast. Steve Safran of Lost Remote was recently a guest on Coy Barefoot's show and continued preaching the gospel of convergence, and Joost is so far the best (legal) implementation I've seen. It lacks
