So far I’ve recorded two shows with the Zoom H2 portable recorder. That was the best Christmas present (from last year) that I ever got. I never played that much with it, because my life went to hell last winter and I stopped podcasting, but now I really appreciate it.
I need to get a media reader so I can update the firmware so it will work with OS/X Leopard (my laptop). I’m still doing all the podcasting on the iMac (still using Tiger because I’m broke) and I’d rather not–I’m running out of hard drive space.
Today Dwight got me a boom stand so I can lay in bed and record, because it’s always nice to relax in a nice comfortable acoustic dead zone!

Offtopic, but if you’re on Netflix and you want to get in on the new Netflix Silverlight beta testing and have a PC or Intel Mac (I have no idea why you’d switch to it with a PC when you already have a perfectly good player, but whatevah), here’s the link: www.netflix.com/silverlightoptin. Three rules from the Netflix blog you must understand before you opt in:
* There may be bugs. We are logging all errors, but if you run into problems you can help out by posting details here in the blog comments.
* Not all movies are available to watch with Silverlight. You may notice errors or lower than normal quality when watching certain titles.
* Our new player works on PCs and Intel-based Macs.
* Windows users should be aware that if you opt in, you will need to use Silverlight on all the machines you use to watch instantly.
More offtopic-ness: I am deeply mourning my cellphone and hope it’s at the theater.
