I don't mind not being in the top (whatever) podcasts at Podcast Alley, but I just want to say thanks to those who voted for me there. It was a very nice gesture. I'm doing this simply for the challenge and to amuse myself, my family and my friends–not for fortune or fame–so I really appreciate the votes.
I'm very happy for Father Roderick who does the Catholic Insider podcast which skyrocketed to #1 this month. He does a great job and deserves to be there. It makes him very happy to receive votes, so if you like what he does please vote for him.
Here are some other podcasts I think you should check out:
- Behind the Scenes – if you're curious about the technical aspects of podcasting.
- Earthcore – A serialized audio book. I'm totally addicted.
- How To Do Stuff – You gotta listen to the episode where he got his ass hair waxed.
- Dailysonic – Totally, totally underrated. My favorite podcast to listen to while I'm stuck doing something mind-numbing at work; it keeps my brain busy.
There are many podcasters who put a lot of importance in their rank. To me, the messages I receive here from listeners matter much, much more. I really do appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. (Unless you're a blog spammer, in which case you can kind of like go f*** yourself.)

Bah. I didn't realize I recorded in mono until I got home. Sorry for all the wind noise. Need to do something about that. I should try to make shorter podcasts from now on.
Show notes:
- Photos I took during the podcast
- Photos of Akihabara on flickr.com
- Laox home page. Pretty typical-looking site for an electronics store in Japan. (Butt ugly.)
- The lapel mic I used. Model AT9830. (Interestingly enough, there's a Russian model AT9830 too. She looks like the Grinch in a blond wig.)
- I mentioned Kappabashi, a neighborhood of Tokyo with stores that sell restaurant supplies, including plastic food.

Outpost Nine :: Editorials :: I am a Japanese School Teacher
This is by far the goddamn funniest thing I have read in a long time. It's written by a JET teaching English in junior high. This guy is a riot, and I can say without a doubt that every word is true. The kids I taught when I first came here are now pushing 30 years old, but they were exactly the same.
I'm laughing so hard I had to take a hit off my asthma puffer. All day I promised myself I'd edit audio tonight, but I can't stop reading.
