Audio and Video Galore
Hello ladies and gentlemen. What's up?
Yeah... yeah... uh huh... OK.
Well this isn't all about you, is it? No it's not!
I have some mildly amusing news you may or may not be interested in and what better way to relay it to you than put it in this fancy weblog, eh? This is actually a
Announcing "Gold Dust"
Over the next few months, I will be working on a video that I will be calling my "going away" or "coming home" gift to my friends, listeners and family and will be done by the time I leave, whenever that is. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
It will basically be video footage I've taken and collected over the past two years with no words spoken by me. The background music will be "Gold Dust" by Tori Amos from Scarlet's Walk.
I started on it a few weeks ago and it's looking pretty good. In fact, some parts of it are already so well-placed to the music that it makes me cry a little bit, seriously. But then again, that song does that to me.
When it's done, I'm sure you'll hear about it. I'm a bit concerned about releasing it as a podcast video so I might just make it available from my website or YouTube. We'll see, won't we?
Upcoming Podcasts and Videos
That's right, more podcasts and videos. I have completed idioPod 30, Extra #2 and Extra #3. I haven't even officially shown you vidioPod 4. What I can say is that they're all coming soon. The Extras will give me some time to myself but they're really, really interesting. I mean, REALLY. I've never seen someone do this and I'm not telling anybody what it is that I've done. Not yet anyway. If nothing I've said have made people talk, this definitely will.
My planned release schedule is:
13 July: vidioPod 4: A Random Day at the Beach (this one has been sitting on the server a few weeks)
15 July: idioPod 30 (which as far as I know is still untitled)
18 July: idioPod Extra #2
22 July: idioPod Extra #3 (a response to #2... putting myself in your shoes)
25 July: idioPod 31 (which I will use to review my responses on the Extras)
So basically I'm shooting for every Tuesday and Friday for a few weeks. That is in Australia, by the way so if you're in the USA you'll see them on Monday and Thursday evenings/nights and of course that's a day earlier than what's posted here.
UPDATE: The upcoming podcasts have been updated since this post. Click here for it.
I Would Love to Punch Every Apple Employee in the Mouth
You'd think a company like Apple would have their shit together and know how to deploy something that they've built up hype on for the last three months. First I'm pissed that I just got my iPod Touch like two months ago and have to pay $9.95 to upgrade it. I think that's absolutely retarded. Second, even if I'm willing to purchase the stupid upgrade, and they post the links in 90 different places, the iTMS says that the store is unavailable. So go figure... and like all Apple software, it has to be 1 bajillion MB though it only adds 2 new things.
Let's just say that there is more than one way to skin a cat.
Happy Birthday
I have a few family birthdays coming up like my sister (who reads this occasionally) and my grandmother. So Happy Birthday to everybody! i have a lot of friends who have birthdays this month for some reason. My sister's birthday is actually today but yesterday in the USA. How's that?
Hmm, you're gonna keep me busy trying to stay up to date with all these postings Ben. But I'll find the time . . . somehow! I'm with you on Apple's implosion. I was throughly disgusted yesterday. Finally late in the evening I was able to download the 2.0 software update. And I am mad about having to pay for it also. But I did. I must say the Apps I purchased from the App Store are way cool, particularly "Enigmo". Its a game where you must manipulate water to fill jars. It sounds easy, but its not. Least not for me. So if you download any of the games for the iPod Touch . . . download, "Enigmo.
Don't let me fool you. I'm sure I won't be doing 2 a week forever. I have a pretty bad track record, I've noticed. :)
Apple can kiss my ass. And that's after I haven't wiped or showered after going to the toilet. I got tired of waiting so I downloaded the software update from somewhere else and for a lot less than what Apple was charging for it because they blatantly lied so I screwed them out of money. So ha! I mean, come the fuck on, why should I pay them money so I can pay them more money in the future? That freakin' update should be free to everybody.
Yeah, I had Enigmo from the MacHeist thing. I liked it! If I do buy a game from the store, I'm going to get that one.
