mdlbear's for a bit of Audacity tutorial and to borrow a microphone. I haven't actually started yet, but I'm approaching the threshold of the podcast world. I've gotten my handout for my podcast talk at NAIN-URI NA finished. If I wasn't going to English Country Dance tonight I'd try and get some sample intro and transition verbiage taped. And I need to make more room on my iBook for audio files. *sigh*
The Mercury News had an article on hybrids in the carpool lane that gave me the link to the DMV application. Thanks to the Bay Area Prius yahoo list I had gotten my FastTrak transponder last week so I was able to get my application off this morning. It may not be the race I feared - according to the Merc, there are only 57,000 registered hybrids in the State so the 75,000 license limit shouldn't be a problem. Still. I feel good to have gotten my application in the mail. I might even be able to leave for work a bit later! Or spend an extra 10 minutes at the gym without worrying about traffic.
Yesterday, on the AI list, Bruce Schuman mentioned An Inquiry Into a Phenomenon of Collective Resonance which sounds really interesting. I am making a note in hopes I'll have time to read some of it. I read this interview with the Unilever Asia exec. It is so cool businesses sometimes do these things.
I admit I go back and forth about whether I want to have my work be my compelling passion. Or whether I want to work and then get to other things. I have many interests, many causes, many passions. I like the work I do now, I feel good about it. But I leave at 4:30 and I don't carry it home. When your work is your passion it is hard to leave it. Working for a non-profit, for example, tends to eat your life. You have the work you do but you also find yourself doing fundraising, outreach, etc, outside of work hours. For now, I am happy with my choice to keep my work and my avocations separate.
