I've been, oh, listening to an excellent audiobook. Timeline by Michael 04:57.560 --> 05:04.160 Criton. It's the unabridged version, which means in total it's 14 hours worth of spoken 05:04.160 --> 05:08.800 words. Speaker's actually pretty good. He's doing accents because part of it, at least 05:08.800 --> 05:15.000 the part that I'm at now, is situated in France, so he's doing French accents. So, 05:15.000 --> 05:24.720 no, it's actually quite cool. Good book. And I bought it off of Audible.com. Really convenient. 05:24.720 --> 05:28.480 I'm big audiobook so much. And since I didn't catch much on the iPad, 05:28.500 --> 05:35.100 Potter script the other night. So for Dave's audio blog, I figured I'd just 05:35.100 --> 05:38.780 listen to a book I'd already downloaded, so I'm kind of in the middle of that. 05:38.780 --> 05:42.700 And I actually did have a great chat with Dave Weiner. We talked about our audio 05:42.700 --> 05:49.660 blogs and it seems that we're almost doing a radio show together. But there 05:49.660 --> 05:53.060 are people listening, I'm looking at my server logs and there was at least 05:53.060 --> 06:01.220 well, there was over a hundred downloads of a second show that I did. And we're 06:01.220 --> 06:04.860 talking about how much room there is, so much room for improvement in 06:04.860 --> 06:08.900 distributing our audio and video files, the stuff that we make. You know, this is, 06:08.900 --> 06:13.660 we've got all the bits in place and I think a lot of it pertains. You know, a 06:13.660 --> 06:17.860 lot of the blogging stuff we're doing will fit perfectly with audio and video. A 06:17.860 --> 06:21.900 lot of it won't really wasn't intended that way. And it's just interfaces. You 06:21.900 --> 06:25.740 know, all I think all the stuff is there. It's just how do we make it as simple as 06:25.740 --> 06:31.380 possible. And the day that Tricia, my wife, 06:30.000 --> 06:36.320 You know, has an iPod that she just slips into the cradle and it automatically downloads 06:36.320 --> 06:39.520 her favorite music channels from whomever. 06:39.520 --> 06:45.800 Or it could be a cooking show or a new show or an interview show or it could be all kinds 06:45.800 --> 06:50.340 of different audio files without actually having to do anything else but just click 06:50.340 --> 06:52.440 a box to subscribe to something. 06:52.440 --> 06:56.800 That's when we've achieved success in my book. 06:56.800 --> 07:01.720 Let's see, about seven minutes into this now, there's not a lot going on. 07:01.720 --> 07:02.720 It is a Monday. 07:02.720 --> 07:05.840 I guess everyone's just kind of getting back to work now after vacation. 07:05.840 --> 07:09.880 So an opportune day to play a song of the day. 07:09.880 --> 07:13.920 Actually I felt like playing some country in Western. 07:13.920 --> 07:16.600 Don't get a lot of that over here. 07:16.600 --> 07:21.640 In fact, most people over here hate country music and a lot of people in America hate country 07:21.640 --> 07:22.640 music too. 07:22.640 --> 07:31.520 But this is a classic that everyone loves and it is by Mr. Country himself, Johnny Cash. 07:31.500 --> 07:36.940 I like to stay out and help us on some songs play the guitar for the greatest guitar players as well as songwriters 07:36.940 --> 07:39.920 Thanks, my business.
