4 in 1 - the MEGA post!

Update - this page is no longer a place holder - it's been filled with content:

1. Photo Essay - A blast from the past, a reflection on what was going on with me exactly 3 years ago in the form of a MySpace post that started "bloggy" and turned into a Photo Essay explaining what I'd been up to. If I was producing a new one I imagine I'd have gone in a slightly more poetic/less literal direction.
   
2. Podcast:
   
3. Short Film:
   
   and oh yeah:
   
4. The "Podcast" segment is also my long-overdue reading response of Andrew Feenberg's Critical Theory of Technology

So really, while I have an example of each, I only produced the podcast specifically for NMS 501, the photo essay and video were things I'd already done quite some time ago. Blogging about what went into pod casting can go in this post as well, I suppose so here it goes - it took a ton of repetition - then there was the quest for a "quiet" zone, ultimately leading me to the garage where my improvised recording studio was inside this:

Things I'd do better the next time I go on a pod casting spree:

1. I'd buy a dedicated mic
2. I'd maybe build me a soundproof mini-room somewhere inside the house
3. I'd segment the podcast more and last but not least...
4. I'd make sure to take advantage of the multi-take feature of my pod casting software that I wish I would've known about during the making of this podcast.

It was fun and I kept my distance from creating an "enhanced" podcast since adding pictures to the audio would really just push me into opening my video editing program of choice and doing something I've done a ton more of over the years. Be sure to let me know what you think of any of this stuff in the comments section, I'm always curious to find out what people think!
