It’s so good to hear you!! I’d be a happy chica if you did a podcast.

You know, I’ve gone almost completely vegetarian, myself. The only “meat” I eat are in the form of my vitamins, which — silly me (sarcasm) — I didn’t think to read the ingredients of; they have fish in them. You mentioned cost to the environment as a reason, and I’m with you there. I’m also a little inspired by my friend Mae’s near-Buddhist beliefs (compassion for all) and my own discovery that my body (particularly the digestive processes) just don’t really care for meat.

I hope the money thing gets settled, and I hope you do more audio!

P.S. - I recorded mine at 128 Kbps, but if you’re not doing music, you can probably go to 64 w/o much of a problem.

Well, if I can get myself to believe that either 1.) I am that interesting (shouldn’t be too hard with The Great Ego being what it is), or 2.) Think of something I do frequently enough to comment on regularly, or (most likely) 3.) pay more attention, jot down notes on a daily basis about stuff that makes me think, (in other words, if I can get material) I will totally do it, it wasn’t hard at all. Very painless, thanks to your direction. I think the compassion thing is growing in me, and I don’t want to discount it, but for me its compassion for people, and a rejection of privilege. The money thing seems to be settling, we shall see for sure tomorrow. I think it was the podpress site that said to record in mults of 11khz (or something).

You know, I’m not sure how the sample rate (the khz) and bit rate (kbps) combine to make the file size, myself, but I always record at 44.1 kHz and vary the bit rate as needed for file size. *shrug* Your mileage may vary.

ooOOoo, I see, I will futz with it. THANKS!
