Podcast promo, etc.

i consider myself someone who's familiar with a lot of the new technologies out on the market today, so it was surprising when i realized i had no idea how to work GarageBand on my computer. the scary thing about new programs like this is it seems like you are venturing into a foreign world: new language, customs, etc. the upside in this case is that there are plenty of people who have gone before you, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs in the form of youtube videos, webpages, and podcasts (interesting that people use the medium to describe the in's and out's of said medium).

so, now that i've taken in what these resources have to offer me, i've created my very first audio recording. i'm glad i've had this experience to force me to deal with this technological obstacle. for someone who has easy access to these programs it seems a real shame that it's taken me this long to use them. regardless, i really appreciated the fact that after a few tutorials i was able to grasp the major concepts/functions and craft exactly the audio piece i wanted.

the practice of recording my audio and uploading it to my itunes, really made me realize how democratizing technology can be. if i can learn how to do this, with the right tools, anyone else can.

fingers crossed. let's see if this works.
