I just read that the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray! Holy Crap! Read the story here – ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin Killed by Stingray

I recently purchased the Olympus Digital Voice Recorder WS-100. I bought it at Best Buy for $89.99. I’m sure I could have bought it for a lot cheaper at Amazon.com or other online outlet, but I had a hair in my ass to get it so I paid full price.

I wanted to buy this for a couple of reasons. First, I was itching pretty bad to record my first podcast, and didn’t want to deal wth microphones, etc.

Second, my son needs to record himself reading, so he will now be able to play back his recording, to help him read better.

Ok, so on with the review!

The recorder came with a single AAA battery, which is all it needs. I was up and recorded my podcast before I even got out of the car. I like te quality of sounds it records!

You are able to store audio files in five different folders. This helps me keep things organized.

This recorder also serves as a mass storage device and can record up to 27 hours!

Once I am ready to pull my recordings off, the bottom of this recorder pulls off to reveal the USB connection, and plugs straight into my computer.(a cable is also provided)

Recrded files are automatically exported as .wma type files, so will be ready to go with Windows media player.

So far, I am very pleased with this recorder and would recommend it to anyone.

After I posted my first podcast the other day, I was thinking about my next one. (It was kinda’ fun!)

Like all webmasters should do, I think about accessability. I think about what the page will look like when displayed on other browsers, resolutions, etc. Then I thought about how many people out there are unable to listen to podcast on their computer and do not have an iPod.

I have no clue how to figure this one.

Sure, I have speakers and can listen to podcasts if I wanted, but what about you? Several years ago, the computer I owned could not produced any sound so this is probably why I’m concerned about it.

I am not planning on going podcast crazy on here, but I think that this is something webmasters should be aware of.

I browse around many different blogs, and notice that a lot of blogger like to use the weekend to post links that they like, other bloggers etc.

I really am not going to do that, but instead I am pondering a series of posts called “Blogger Blos That Don’t Suck”

I already know of one or two, as most blogspot blogs I come across are either splogs or people start them and never return.

So, as my first post in this series, I’ll introduce Midwest Right Wingers (adult language, be warned)

While I admit I don’t visit every day, I do go back once in a while to see what’s posted. He’s runnng a Pro Republican blog and can go a bit extreme someimes but still worth a glance.

Today I answered Yvonne’s call for a Podcast. I thought I’d start by giving a brief inroduction as to how I started blogging. When I have more time this weekend, I’ll put out a more elaborate bio, and post it in the About Page.
HERE IT IS!
