Quick Update from Bill

by Bill Warters

Just a quick message to let people know I’m still here and to let you know I did some site maintenance work that may have caused feeds to update in an unusual fashion if your “podcatcher” reads the old files as new after the rebuild of our site. Also of interest is the finally released online audio recording tools over at Odeo.com. Pretty slick.

Fun File - Mock Interview with President Bush

by Bill Warters

This one-minute audio file of a mock interview of President Bush was made using a new web-based service called Podomatic.com. Using a nifty Flash and an AJAX-type interface, you can create audio files by mixing together various clips. To encourage people to test the service, you can make an interview of yourself talking with Bush and then email to friends and colleagues. The built-in mic on the machine I made it on wasn’t great, but for an experiment it should be okay…
