First post

This is my first post in this new blog. I have blogged before for a very narrow audience that I don't think really ever read it anyway. I'd like to share a few thoughts about what I'm learning, what I'm reading, what I'm listening to (podcasting, audiobooks, music).

I just got the 60G Video iPod last weekend. I haven't done much productive lately! I had actually spend months and months working with iTunes getting things "ready" so all I had to do was plug and play. OK, so it took almost 5 hours to copy over 11,000 items, but whatever.

I'm now exploring world of podcasts and even vodcasts. I've come to a quick realization that a lot of what's out there is just crap. It will take me a while, I suppose, to filter through what's really worth listening to. I'm trying to focus on a few podcasts that explore how the church of Jesus Christ may be reconfiguring to meet the emerging world of the 21st century. I've also got a couple other ones just for thinking believers, a junior high youth workers training vodcast, and of course, Strong Bad emails from homestarrunner.com!

That's all for now. I need to unplug for a bit and connect with real live human beings, namely my wife.
