The Zipcast Store

I'll post a link soon to my Amazon store I simply called The Zipcast Store. Once it's up and ready you should be able to reach it by clicking on zipcaststore.us . I feature the catagories I like.

Here they are: cameras, books, the Kindle ( an electronic reading device ), musicial instruments ( and other audio items ), and electronics.

Take a look around. There's always some good deals. I'm hoping to supplement my income by promoting the site on my podcast called The Daily Zipcast. Join me sometimes as I discuss the topics of the day and some down home chatter about whatever is on my mind.

You can visit zip71101.mevio.com or go to iTunes and subscribe. You can listen online or move the mp3 file to your media player. See you there.

RAIN TODAY

I'm home today because I woke up in the middle of the night with a bad headache. It kept me from getting back to sleep for a while. After an hour or so I decided to take some Advil and within a few minutes I was fast asleep. I woke up around 5:30 and the headache was still there but not as painful. I dosed for another hour and then got up to get ready for work. After bathing I decided I'd stay at home today. I've been so busy for the past two weeks that my body seemed to tell me that I needed to slow down. The headache is gone but I feel so sleepy now. About two hours ago I was sitting on the couch and begin to dose off as I listened to the rain and the pitter-patter of it on the roof. I slept so good I didn't want to wake up but when I finally forced myself to open my eyes my head had fallen to one side and was stiff. I slowly raised my head and stretched then walked back to my computer room to check my mail. After that I got a bite to eat and checked Twitter. Nothing interesting at the moment. Now I'm blogging hoping this will help me clear my head and get my day going but somehow I've got a feeling if the rain comes back, I'll go back to sleeppppppppppppppp.

The Daily Zipcast ZIP 71101

It's almost been 2 months that I've been doing my podcast ZIP 71101 - The Zipcast, as a daily show. I wasn't sure I'd last this long but so far, so good. I've found myself moving from a personal journal podcast to a topical podcast featuring my take on current world events, technology and music with my personal material included in the mix.

I've always loved technology. I can remember when I was 10 years old, taking the back off a new transistor radio just to see how it worked. I took basic electronics in high school and had a blast but after that moved on to other things. When I got my first computer I couldn't wait to learn all I could about it. That was probably in 1980-81. Now I can't go one day without one. Podcasting opened up a door for me to explore the world of "broadcasting" again and took me back to my high school days when I was known as the guy that wanted to be a DJ. Although I don't consider myself as a DJ, I do feel I'm fulfilling my dream to communicate.

KEEPING MY HEAD ABOVE WATER

Keeping my head above water is a full time job. I'm always into one thing or another, trying this and moving on to something else. I lose interest unless I really focus on what I'm doing. There are so many things to do, places to go and things I want to try. Will there be enough time in my life to try everything? The answer is no but if I really focus on what's in front of me now perhaps I'll have some success.
Podcasting is an area I've focused on this year. I'm trying to publish a show 5 days a week. It's getting easier but the subjects are getting fewer. I wonder what I'll do next? Video? Oops! too late, been there and doing that now as well. I'm looking at ooVoo now. http://www.oovoo.com . How can I use this for my video podcasting? Perhaps Ho! Agenda would be a perfect fit for it. Viewers could watch Tom and I talk for hours about how people waste their time talking and not doing. Whoa! hmm, so that's what we do. Well at least it's entertainment for us and you're invited to listen in. Here's the links.

From time to time we get together on Skype and just yap about everything from the atom to technology. Two great wanna be minds get together and share our vision for the world as we see it. After all, we're the kings of our domains.

I think I've blogged enough for now. See you in a few weeks, months or whatever.
