The rumors of my demise ... yadda yadda yadda.  No video this time, just an unedited monologue recorded with my newest gadget (see below).

• Sorry for the delay.  I blame end-of-school-year-hassles, a trip to PA, a new apartment, and something else.


• I have a new toy: The Creative Zen V Plus!  I used it to record this podcast, as a matter of fact.


• Alas, Creative doesn't make any software or drivers that make the Zen V Plus Mac compatible.  Fortunately, these people made an open source program that gets the Zen onto my Mac!


• It's easy to censor yourself.


• When you post a link, you have no control over that site.


• You're not just linking to that site now, but 3 months from now and 3 years from now.


• Where do you draw the line?

No video this time, just wonderful low quality audio!

Wait ... what?

Show notes:

• The wiki is getting more spam than legitimate edits. I'm dealing with the spam now, and I'll get to the real edits soon. No, really.


• I'm beginning to like Ning more and more, mostly because it doesn't crash Firefox as often as it used to do.


• The next Teachers 2.0 Groupcast will be recorded on the 13th. Come join in the fun!


• Planning on upgrading the version of Drupal that's managing Teachers20.com. Should I go with regular or extra education?


• Looking to find others willing to create Teachers 2.0 branded content. Are you interested?

Sorry for the delay, now on with the show!

Show notes:

• Another nice audio comment by Chris Craft. Where's your audio (or video) comment? (And yes, I haven't edited the wiki recently for the same reason I haven't been podcasting.)


• To make a podcast I need time, energy, and inspiration.


• Usually I lack inspiration, but this time I needed time and energy.


• Inventory is done! Hooray!


• Are there times when we replace analog technology with a digital equivalent that isn't as good? Is digital always better? I want to hear your thoughts on this.
