Tech I Am Stuck On

Okay, I’ve decided to talk about what I do have these days. For one thing, I’ve bought a Sirius radio. I’m now addicted to EWTN radio. We don’t have a station in Memphis, so I’ve never had it before. It’s great. In fact, I think I like it better than their television. Then again, we don’t exactly have that on basic cable either. There is a station, but it is shared with the “higher education” channel.

I’ve been doing recordings, both of my own stuff and of RCIA, as a hobby for some time now. I’ve gone from hooking up a standard PC microphone straight into a laptop to using real professional or at least prosumer equipment. I can’t believe what I’ve learned. Lately, I’ve been playing with a Mackie Satellite. It’s great for me to record my podcast and then take the pod to record something at a church.

My wish list item that I will share with you is an 80 GB iPod. I’ve almost filled up the 20 GB. Since it looks like there isn’t going to be a new iPod other than the iPhone for a while, I may eventually stop holding out for an iPod with a user-replaceable battery. Why would I need 80 GB? I download a lot of talks that are an hour or so long, and they take up more space than an individual song does.
