Small Handheld Recorder
I’ve gotten some great recommendations for podcasting equipment for when I’m at home, but because I spend so little time at home that’s not practical for 95% of the time when I’d want to be podcasting. Once I was interviewed by NPR and the lady had this awesome pocket thing with a fuzzy mic on the end, the sound quality was great on it. Does anyone have recommendation for something I could carry in my pocket that sounds better than what I use now?

Advertising and Blogs
Podcast #2 is up, broadly about advertising and blogs. 2:30. The quality is still awful, I might still sound like a chipmunk if you play it in flash, but thanks for all the great suggestions on the post from yesterday, I’ll be trying them out over the next few days.
First Podcast
I’m diving into the wild and wooly world of podcasting, and here is my first “episode.” Expect much experimentation to follow.
Bayesian Noise Reduction
Better Voicemail
Callwave has a cool service which allows you to send your voicemail to them rather than the crappy service your cell company provides. You get an email with caller ID info whenever you get a voicemail and a link to listen to it. You can also check it from your phone, like normal voicemail. It’s a freemium model. I’m loving it. The setup is just typing in a weird string of digits into your cell phone.
Thunderbird Release?
What ever happened to Thunderbird 2? The nightly builds claim to be version 3 now.
New Blogger Importer
We now have an importer that works with the new Blogger, and Andy has a weird moustache thing going on.

Flip Ads
Condé Nast is launching a Myspace for teen girls and giving their users complete control of the ads. (And has already sold over $2mm worth.)
Chevy Nova
The story about the Chevy Nova not selling well in Mexico because its name meant “no go” is completely false.
New Servers
Barry is blogging some of our experiences with bringing online another DC. The search for another solid infrastructure partner has been very educational and made me appreciate how good LayeredTech actually is.
