So in preparation of my blogs anniversary on Saturday. I’m currently working on a new feature to my site. Namely a podcast! After three years of the written word (English teachers may debate this claim) I’ve decided to add a new way to express myself. Does this mean that I’ll abandon prose entirely, um no. So why do it then you say?

Well one thing that I’ve always tried to do over the years is to try new things. While some of my inspirations did well, others flopped completely. (Anybody remember Lifeslackers, yeah I didn’t think so) So I had two choices that I could go with, I could start a videocast or a podcast. While both things leave me with a sense of dread. Do I want to see my ugly mug or do I want to hear my annoying voice?

Well if your a frequent visitor of the site, you know I rather appear behind the camera, than in front of it.  So that really made the decision kind of easy. I’d do a podcast and hopefully not drive my readership away Blogging audiences can be a bit fickle. but I think it should be ok.

My podcasts will be a bit of a work in progress. I’m still getting the hand of things and I’m not happy with all the results. My audio seems a bit of hit and miss at the moment. Sometimes I find that the recording comes out crisp and clear and other times it seems as though I’m drifting off. I also have no idea if I’m going to upload my posts to iTunes as well. While I will do video reviews, it doesn’t really reflect the entire focus of the blog. There’s no category for Jerry Seinfeld like generalists, how don’t really talk about anything in particular.

Well that’s it for now, just trying to keep the few of you that follow the site up do date. Especially since I left Facebook and I’m not in contact with some of you. Although you can follow me on Twitter, I find it’s a better fit to a blogger. Plus I like the way I’m able to share links.  It’s like a suped up RSS feed!! I’m also surprised at how quickly you get followers. I’m at 20 something in a few days and that’s without really promoting it on my site. Just think it took almost a year to get that many people on my RSS feed.

Later…
