Taking A Moment To Update…
Feb 22nd
Well, fine folks who have been patiently, or impatiently, been waiting for my next real post. I’m taking this time I have during lunch to give a little recap of what’s been going on in my life.
I’ve been working to reduce the stress in my life and not take on anymore work. The only problem with this, it gives me time to fill. What have I decided to do with this free time, start a podcast. Many of you probably are aware of the podcast by now, if not check it out (http://www.faithshaping.org/). I am really enjoying doing the podcast. I’m almost feeling inclined to expand my podcasting
. I’ve considered moving my regular text blog to perhaps even an audioblog, or at least take some opportunities to include audioblog posts. I’m not sure if I’ll persue anything further or not.

Busy Days, Lazy Nights…
Feb 15th
Just wanted to make a quick post. My days, Monday & Tuesday, were crazy busy. On the other hand both evenings were kind of lazy on my part. Monday I did try working on recording some music. That would have been better if I ended up actually having something to show for the time I spent. I sort of had something, probably was trying to add in some percussion loops to what I had recorded. I ended up having my own timing on what I recorded. Well, of course I didn’t save each take as a seperate recording session, GarageBand still seems a bit odd to work with at times. Last night I just worked on trying to update some software both on the podcast site and on my computer. I also spent some time on the phone. I watched a movie that I picked up over the weekend. It’s another 80′s geek movie, Real Genius
, starring a young Val Kilmer
. It’s got a great combination of geekiness and comedy. Well, back to work I head, plenty to do. Just wanted to give a quick update on life. Still trying to get a good handle on the learning circle
this week. I guess perhaps the good thing is that I’ve been intentionally thinking about the learning circle, but my devotions haven’t been topics that I’ve been given opportunities to act on. As I just think about this, I believe I’m forgetting to truely apply the learning circle. I haven’t posted about my devotions or talked with anyone about them. I haven’t been getting to the “discussion” aspect of the learning circle. I guess there is an obvious key here that I’m missing, no wonder I feel like I haven’t gone anywhere. Well, I would say that tomorrow I’ll have to make a point of posting my thoughts on my morning devotions. I had done this for a time in the past, and it was good to get feedback from others. I’ll have to work on doing this again. This will of course require me to get to bed at a decent time so I have enough time before work to do all of this. Well, I’m really getting going here and need to stop. Valete(good bye)!
Weekend of Rest and Learning
Feb 13th
Well, I have to say that it has been a pretty nice weekend of rest. I know that I haven’t been as regular in the blog posts. I’m still going to have to work to remedy that. I’ve actually half thought about adding an audio component
to my regular blog. Since I’ve got this podcasting
equipment it seems a shame to only be using it once a week. Also, I’ve gotten so many comments about my voice, why wouldn’t people want to sit and listen to me ramble. LOL
I’m pretty sure I haven’t mentioned it, cause it’s been a few days since my last post, but on Thursday I had the opportunity to place a Skype
call to Africa
. I used a piece of software called Soundflower that creates a software audio device. I was able to then route the outgoing sound of Skype into my sound recording app. I was able to get it setup so that I could monitor everything, but still only actually record the other side of the conversation. I was originally planning on using Gizmo
to place this call, only to find that Gizmo blocks calls to the country I was calling in Africa. BTW, this call was place for a project I’m doing. I won’t talk about it on hear much more as I don’t want information getting out there. You can ask me directly about this if you want more details.
