Show Notes

Ipod - the best mp3 player on the market. Highly recommended due to its ease of use, great support, and itunes player (free download). There are some other good ones on the market, but they don’t all have good support, break more often, and have limited players.

Podcast - an internet radio show. Most people listen to them on the go using an ipod. Listen to them while working out, driving to work, walking the dog/to work, etc. Best places to find podcasts are using the itunes music store or podcast alley.

Further description:

Introduction

Building my web - a conversation about building up a web presence. I started with choosing my own domain name: swordplay.tv. Next, I downloaded the wordpress blogging software and initially installed 3 versions of it. One for each of my own blogs (personal, professional, art). I put each one into its own SQL database, not sure how that will effect things as I grow. Next, I built a static page for my IPTV info and added a new domain for my podcast. I called it face for podcasting (name idea came from Jenny). Installed the same blogging software for that domain and now I am recording the podcast.

Building a community - (delicious, digg, other blogs)

Twitter, Last.fm

Spring Cleaning with Amazon

Deadwood

Music: kings of leon, feist, tool
