Hi, guys! Recently I have been forced to re-evaluate and re-examine the path that my life has been going, due to the realization that I have been stagnating. I thought about what sort of goals that I wanted to achieve in the not-so-distant future, and decided to throw myself into the deep end.

1. Blogging: I set up a blog with Xanga to begin with, but a few weeks ago I decided to use blogger as my primary method of communication. I have a word press and a Live Journal account set up but will likely delete them if I cannot find a purpose for them.

2. Podcasting: I chatted with Mike Bennett about my internet woes and he sent me a bunch of nice links, including Mevio, so I set up an account there. Like he said, it is a nice service that offers free storage and delivery services for podcasters. Then I came up with an idea for my first podcast, and this came in the form of a book from Project Gutenberg. I picked a neat science fiction book in the public domain to record, and have so far recorded the bar bones first chapter. I have other stuff to record for it but it is a start. The major hurdle is software, but that is easily fixed.

3. Writing: I am pulling my finger out and just writing. Ain't life grand!

4. Household Stuff: As I need to get stuff done I do it. Like Josh Woodward says in one of his songs Waiting takes more time than letting go. :D

LibriVox will be a serious consideration if the website is missing this trilogy by the time that I am finished recording and editing at least the first book. My plan is to record and edit as single chapter episodes. I figure that this will be quicker to download than chunkier files.
