Taken with the new iMac that has iSight built in and an app called Photo Booth. It's a camwhore's wet dream.

I have touched the new iPod, and it touched me back. I'm literally holding back tears because I know I can't afford it.

I watched a music video on it and the and the bass is incredible. I could feel it in my chest. How'd they do that?

The most beautiful young woman in a purple one piece dress and long white boots is giving a violin performance with electronic accompaniment. She is amazing. I want to record it, but I don't want to piss off any lawyer-types. If you've ever heard the group of Chinese women who play modern music on classical instruments, that's what she sounds like. I can't remember the name of the group. They're very popular here. I'll look it up when I get home. (女子十二楽坊, a.k.a. Twelve Girls Band. Thank you Kevin.)

Mattias was right, the iPod has a widescreen setting. Yeaaaaa. Go Apple.

Update: Definitely check out Sarina's music samples on her web site. I will buy her CD as soon as I can find it. She really was incredible. I'd drink a gallon of her bathwater.

If you do, could you let me know how it displays the widescreen videos I made? Do they play? Do they look smooshed, or does the iPod letterbox the video?

There are only a few podcasts I consider to be the absolute best; the kind that make me feel grateful that podcasting was invented. Number one on my list is Digital Flotsam. Why P.W Fenton likes my podcast back, I'll never understand. But I'm truly honored. Others that are really, really up there are WGBH Morning Stories, Earthcore (R.I.P.), and 5 Minutes with Wichita.

That's it. The rest are just filler, except for Daily Source Code, which I listen to because life feels incomplete without it.

Where does mine fall in there? If I weren't the host, I wouldn't listen to it. Then again, Stanley Kubrick hated every one his own movies. I can totally relate.

Today while catching up on old episodes of Morning Stories, I heard about…ooooh, earthquake. Second strong tremor in the last couple of days.

All done, I'm still here. Tony Kahn of Morning Stories gave a plug for a podcast called The Seanachai. It's the kind of podcast where immediately after listening to the latest show, you download every past episode, listen to all of them back to back, and from then on you check for a new episode first thing every day.

Now that I have a working iPod, I have sampled a veritable shitload of podcasts lately, and honestly, the only one that stands out is The Serenachi. Patrick Mclean is more talented than this new form of media deserves.

Work is very, very busy, and frankly, stressful. On the plus side, I'm producing a Japanese language podcast for the Canadian Education Alliance. I don't do the talking, but I do everything else. I really enjoy listening to the interviews of Japanese who are studying in Canada. My favorite was the latest episode, #3. If Chie had her own podcast, I'd definitely listen to it. Episode 2's interview was also interesting. If you want to hear what very heavy Osaka-ben Japanese sounds like when spoken by a teenage girl, give it a listen.
