I live in a pod, but I definately don't podcast

Maybe it's just because I'm shy, or because I have nothing to say, but I really don't see myself creating a pod cast or a youtube video. Mind you I once thought I would never blog either and here I am, so maybe someday. I notice that no one has linked any of the podcasts they found so maybe I will at the bottom of this post.

I find that the Miro program and my new MP3 player are great motivators to play more with this Thing, something I had never had interest in before. The Miro program is great because it organizes pod and video casts for you, and you can play them on the program itself with out transfering it elsewhere (right on your computer screen). The MP3 player is portable, but small and videos have to be converted first before they will play. It comes with the software, but converting a video takes a looooooong time.

I think that no matter how much fun these two Things are a lot of work is necissary to really make them a part of my life. The reward is worth it, but I don't know if I have the time or inclination.... oh! I'm just lazy, probably.

Well here are some sights I found:

For the CBC lover here is a list of all the podcasts they make, news, local content and music: http://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/

For the forward thinker here are the TED talks; lectures from great tinkers on many different subjects (these are video): http://www.ted.com/talks

Cool free radio? Is such a thing possible on the internet?

Has anyone heard of the site called Stereomood? http://www.stereomood.com/ They offer free music organized by moods like "road trip" "it's raining" and "busy as a bee." This is how I organize my play lists at home so finding a radio station that does it too is a real gem. But here's the thing... I'm not sure how legal this is. I tried reading the disclaimer about what they do and it sounds okay, but I'm not up with the legalese. So anyone who knows better let me know. Or just give it a try, because it's a really cool thing. Many of the songs are emerging artists but they also have classical and oldies as well.

Well I'm going back to my "working" play list, I have things to do.
