What the ...?

As I mentioned in the podcast blog entry below, the remodeling update became obsolete about the time I posted the show. Here's why:



Above is one of three rain-induced sheetrock cave-ins we had yesterday. You're looking into our dining room. Beyond the shell-shocked figure in the doorway is the living room. We had some small leaks there as well, and removed the plywood covering the spot where the back door will be in order to improve ventilation and protect the hardwood floors. The boxy-looking vertical things at the left are our new windows, which were delivered just before the rain began. The builder brought them inside to protect the wood parts from the rain.

Remodeling my ipod

Here's a bit of Apple news for podcasters and those with sick iPods. Also, the super colossal remodeling update.

Guest shot

While the host of Tech Tidbits Daily is on vacation, a number of podcasters are filling in with short news items. Today was my turn. I wrote and recorded a piece about wireless mesh networking standards. It's geek-eeh, y'all!

Big big show

Today my special guest is the host of The Big Show. Aaron checks in via the Skypes, and we talk about the weather...no wait, it gets better...politics, podcasting, Adam Curry, at least one old TV show, and Adam Curry. It's a long show, but well worth your time. Also, you'll find a prodigious number of links.

Comng to you live from the rented front porch. What do you do at 1 AM when you can't sleep?

Tune up

Despite the fact that my show did not make it to iTunes on launch day, and despite the fact that I have not had time to read the teeny tiny print in the Apple specs for iTune-izing my feed, Shelly's Podcast is now available via iTunes.

My new best friends at Podcast Alley have added a link called iTunes Ready Feed to each show's display page. So I would be most grateful if you would do two things: go vote for me at Podcast Alley and tell your friends to sign up to get the show via iTunes. In iTunes, chosoe Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast and paste in the contents of this link.

Thanks kids. Back soon with a new show. I've got bucketfuls to talk about.
