Ever since my iPod earbuds tanked, I’ve been looking for some new headphones.  Brian turned me on to some Sony (MDR-Q22LPs) that ran 20 dollars that have some nice bass response.  I’m not so hip on the in-ear phones, and these just hook over your ears.  I also just picked up a new Sony alarm clock to replace my 16 year old Sony alarm clock.  What do I have, brand loyalty or something?

It’s possible that I’m jumping the gun, as I am likely to do, but I’m going to start a podcast on space news.  While I’m sure there are a few podcasts out there regarding this topic, I just want to promote space exploration and colonization and keep it in the public eye.  Brian’s going to produce, and I’ll post the location when the first show goes up.

Jesus said to keep looking up and wait for His return.  This conversation happened AFTER his death!  Grab a Bible and check out Acts, if you don’t believe me. :^)

Update: recorded the first show on Saturday, ill prepared and full of “um’s”.  Brian and I will try again on Thursday with better circumstances.  And hopefully we’ll have it up by Saturday the 26th.  I’ll reveal the website on that day so ye loyal readers and happenstance passersby can take a listen.

(note: this was supposed to be posted Thursday.  Sorry for the wait.)

I’m expecting one more duck before I update the duck donation and ducks over time chart on the other pages to this site.  Once received, I will be working hard to update the look of the museum with some super animation.  I was able to update the page with Share This, an idea that I got from Brian’s page.  It allows readers to post a link to various social sites and such.  I’ve always wanted this ability, figuring people will want to share with their friends online.

To God be the glory, great things He has done!

Sometimes you just don’t catch something soon enough and it’s already gone.  I’ve been considering getting into Eve Online, and so I’ve been digging around in the ‘casts relating to the game.  I found Podded, which I caught at episode 4 (on the eve online website) and then did some more searching and found the final episode (11) which went up in April of 2007.  Michael did a good job of talking about development and in-game action.  Thanks for the show Michael, perhaps things will change where you get to cast again in the future.  I did also listen to another ‘cast on MMORPGs but I won’t mention the name as I found it sorely lacking versus any other ‘cast I’ve ever listened to.

Update: And now I am checking out Warp Drive Active (takes you to show #25), which seems to be a solid two-player ‘cast.  The in-game news tends toward battles and kills and it sounds like some equal time should be given to the exploration/corporate contracts side of the game, but real world news tends to run along the same lines doesn’t it?

You know you’ve reached a whole ‘nother level when you are connected online with the laptop in the dining room while your beloved works online in the bedroom (where the desktop lives).  I’ve even downloaded ‘casts to my ol’ nano this weekend (a first for me).  I know, ‘welcome to the world’ and all, but it is exciting.

Thanks, God.  How awesome of You to put the ability to make this all possible into people You created.  Not only am I excited for what You have in store for this world in the future, but also for the world to come.

P.S.  I did try to upgrade my new router using the tips at Lifehacker (my new favorite website), but it wouldn’t take.  I think my version number (6.0) is too high.  *shrugs*

I LOVE DSL! Here’s the stats better than advertised! 1.09m down and 906k up!

I even wrote a poem about it:

DSL,
DSL,
Hey, what’s that smell?
The dishes? Well,
They’ve not been done.
I couldn’t tell.
Cause now I’m hooked,
on DSL.

And yes, I’ve completely cracked.
