We have an idea, How about a name?

Thursday, October 26, 2006 · 2 Comments

I think I could deffinately be down for some kind of MSU / College Kids Tech podcast.  I only have 1 problem with that however.

I think the problem with my blogs / podcast were that I always wrote them to a low-tech crowd.  The crowd that doesn’t read blogs / listen to podcasts.  If I were to do a podcast to an MSU audience it would almost certainly have to be very user friendly.  Which I am fine with, but I have to be careful nlot to over-do it, as I have done in the past.

So.  Now that we have an idea, what about a name?  If this is something we can really do (which we really can, its all about if we want to do it)  we need some kind of name.  Obviously I won’t be hosting it on this blog, I will have to make a new one.  Which only takes 5 seconds anyways.

Obviously it has to say that we are an MSU podcast, but it has to say that we are not an official voice of the university.  Feel free to bounce around some ideas in the comments.

The thought of Podcasting

Wednesday, October 25, 2006 · 6 Comments

Lets say hypothetically I were to start another podcast (or netcast).  I could never do a personal podcast, because no body wants to hear that.  At least I don’t.  The podcasts I listen to (Mainly Diggnation and TWiT) are news, interviews, and round table discussions.  If i am going to put through the effort of making a podcast, i want to make something that at least some people will want to listen to.

I was thinking maybe some kind of college show.  Like what college kids think of technology today.  Because I think TWiT and Diggnation make so many assumptions on what students do with technology.  I’m not trying to say that they are old, but technology has deffinately changed since they were attending a University.

But again, to do anything interesting, I would want some kind of round table disscussion.  If I asked some of my friends, I’m sure some of them would oblige.  But would anyone listen to a handful of college kids talking about technology?

I’ve still got some time to mull this over.  Also, I’m thinking of buying a domain for myself soon.  That would probably help.

Someone’s Back?

Monday, October 23, 2006 · No Comments

HAH!  Hardly.

No I intend to stick with my friends for now.   Personal Bloging on LJ has been Great! I love it.  But there’s still something about being so far away from the nerd-dom thats got me typing on this old thing again.

The way I see it, I can still have my LJ as my most personal of mediums, and still maintain a public wordpress account, so that nobody can care, and I will feel like a nerd again.

Besides, how am I supposed to podcast on LJ?
