Podcasting

You'd think the fact that I'm an engineer would mean that I'm into all the latest techie-type stuff and I have my finger on the pulse of the digital nation, but that's just not true. I am part of the TiVolution, and I do have a blog (of sorts). But that's about as far as it goes. I don't have an iPod, I don't have satellite radio, and I don't podcast.

In fact, I admit, I had never even heard the term before today. Then I saw this article. Apparently podcasters create and swap audio files, much like traditional bloggers (like blogging is old enough to be referred to as 'traditional') create text (or html) files. I can just imagine what some of those audio files must sound like.

Unlike the couple in the article who records their pillow talk, I think when Ed jumps on the pocasting wagon (because he's always the early adopter in our house), I'm going to insist on no pillow talk recording. It'd just be too embarrassing, especially since it usually consists of:

Me:  What are you doing?
Ed: Sleeping.
Me: Fine.
Ed: What would you like to talk about?
Me: Nothing. I'm too tired.

Not exactly exciting to the average verbal voyeur out there surfing for some hot gay sex. When there is exciting talk, I'm not so sure I want the world listening to that either.
