With much excitement I am happy to announce that I’ll be presenting at Podcast Academy 3 a session called "Post Production with Audacity" (aka Audacity 101) on the 15th of June 2006.
If you have any Audacity tips and tricks, that you’d like to share please let me know.
Audacity is a great open-source cross-platfrom audio editing program.

It is either very busy … or hording … or a strange marketing concept to find a low point in tech news and then blast stuff out, but ExtremeTech is reporting that HP recently announced 100+ new products for the home and office marketplace.
Let’s see if that was a podcast where you talked no more than one minute on each item it would be more than an hour and a half long. Or you could do one podcast a day focused on one new HP item, and have content for the next three months. Of course when you got near the end of the run, the stuff you had to talk about would be end of life.

Sometimes you have a question that a simple search can't find an answer to. There is a growing set of potential solutions that might be helpful if you are willing to devote some resources to getting the answer:

I have been very excited about finally getting to blog about beta testing MindManager for the Mac. Today is the day that Mindjet announced the product.
One of the best pieces of news, is that this was one of the best beta testing experiences that I’ve had. I rarely had any issues, and from what I could tell all the issues that people had were addressed. Feedback to me felt two-way vice one-way.
As a heavy Windows user of MindManager, having the tool on the Mac has been very helpful. It has given me some great tools for managing my personal to do lists, and for brainstorming podcasting ideas, and I’ve also done some experiments using MindManager vice OmniOutliner for podcast show notes during recording.
Some other things that I quickly want to toss out:
I still think that using MindManager like tools with a TabletPC is significantly more productive in brain storming sessions or in taking notes, but having just the keyboard and mouse with MindManager for the Mac has been very useful over the last couple of weeks during the beta period.
Lastly, Mindjet did a great thing in giving away to Beta Testers a free copy of MindManager for the Macintosh. Thanks!

Over the last week I have been transitioning from a Toshiba Tecra M4
So far I am very happy with the performance (dual-core fast), form factor (compact), weight (less) and the screen resolution (same but smaller screen).
The other big news for this transition is that I did not take my GBs of items from C:/Data directory. I moved over completely fresh and I have only been moving over data that I need. This included Outlook .pst files which has made syncing with the Cingular 8125 significantly faster and more reliable.
Another big bonus is that I got all the "spyware" or "not need software" off of the M400 before I started using it full time. I was not able to accomplish this with the M4 which still has some AOL stuff I can’t remove for some odd reason.
Only down side so far is the biometric finger print reader is very unreliable.
More to come …

The 2006 Season at the La Jolla Playhouse is in full swing with the musical ZHIVAGO playing May 10 through June 25, 2006.
Christy and I saw the musical last night, and it was an amazingly good adaptation of the book
If you get a chance, I highly recommend seeing ZHIVAGO.
BTW … I noticed a lot of The Company of ZHIVAGO have personal websites:
