Digital Nerdage: Episode 80
Here’s a link to the podcast that I participated in last Friday.
It’s our 2016 year in review and we talk about the best and a bit of the worst of the year. We are happy to bring in Chris as a special guest on the show and have a ton of fun! Let us know what your best and worst of 2016 were in the comments!
Thank you for listening and stay nerdy my friends!
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
Repost: Podcasting
It’ll happen. Soon. Maybe. I had a taste of it Friday night.
My friend Michelle invited me to Digital Nerdage podcast’s Best of 2016 recap show. I had thought that I’d be a ‘call-in’ guest (long time listener, first time caller), answering a question or have a take on something, much like a sportstalk radio show, but as the show started, I was introduced as a new friend of the show by the host, Pat.
We covered a few topics that I could see myself talking about on my own podcast, when/if that ever gets off the ground. All told I think we were talking for a little over 90 minutes, which will probably edited down to 60 minutes or so.
My concern right now is whether or not I have the technical side of this nailed down. I have some research to do in that respect. Luckily Kindle Unlimited has a few freebies that I downloaded to read up on podcasting.
I’ll post a link as soon as the podcast gets posted.
In the meantime, I’ll be going about my usual blogging here, with the goal of posting every day in 2017.

Repost: Friday Randomness
This is the longest I’ve gone without a calendar hanging up in my office, or at home. That’s what I get for ordering them online, instead of picking them up from the calendar shop at the mall.

Still trying to figure out what to do with the microphones.
Yes, plural.
Podcasting is the leading choice, I just have to figure out what the content will be. It would probably be something monthly, as I don’t think I’d have time to do a weekly thing.
Or I can just use them to talk to people online.

At lunch I thought about how often and for whom I would post another of those “The 50s” entries like the one from yesterday. First of I want to say that you shouldn’t feel offended/insulted if I don’t have enough material to write something on your 50th. I may simply had forgotten, or hadn’t had time to come up with something interesting. That’s on me, not you.

Vlogging.
Never did keep up with that. I should, in case I never get the podcast thing off the ground.

Not sure why I’m so jazzed about wanting to play role-playing games again, as in pencil-and-paper, face-to-face, not online.

6 days into the new year, and no table top sports games played. I need to fix that. Soon. Tonight.
I also need to get off my butt and start up the lunchtime D&D campaign again. It’s ONLY been a YEAR since I was supposed to come up with something. Ah well.

And then there’s my camera and photography. I bought a new lens to experiment with static close up shots of stuff, and I haven’t really done anything in regards to that.
Gotta change that.

For the first time in years, neither football team that I follow are in the playoffs.
My weekends are free and clear. Though I’ll probably end up watching the Super Bowl.

Pizza and cupcakes. Those are my only requirements so far for my birthday.
