Already, I’m feeling the slide back into lazy blogging now that our 30-day blog challenge is over. The little voice egging me on to sit down and bang out a blog post has gone quiet. Maybe he needed a break. I imagine it was hard work on his part to...
Here’s the audio version of today’s blog post: “This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he lives surrounded by his stories and the stories of others, he sees everything that happens to him through them; and he tries to live his own life as...
I got the idea for this episode from Jimi Hendrix’s song “Voodoo Chile,” which is on his album “Electric Ladyland.” The song clocks in at 14 minutes and 59 seconds! It’s a monster track. Well, that got me thinking about other lengthy tracks that I love. I compiled a list...
It’s been a hot minute since I last did a Mixcloud live stream. There’s no particular reason why not, I just haven’t. But it is my intention to get back in the game and stream more regularly. I’m not going to commit to a specific day or time. They’ll happen...
The metaverse isn’t just an idea anymore. It’s a reality that’s ready to explode into the mainstream. I spent a good portion of my weekend exploring various versions of the metaverse through apps like Engage VR, AltSpaceVR, and Immersed. I was amazed by what’s already out there and how big...
The ten emojis that only old people use, according to Gen Z. Shout out to Belinda Cleary for the inspiration.
This is what happens when the council decides to fix something that isn’t broken. You end up making extra trips to the garbage dump to offload your rubbish because 3 weeks is a long time to wait for the next scheduled collection. Unless that was the plan all along to...
This quote smacked me right between the eyes when I read it. “We judge others by their actions, be we judge ourselves by our intentions.” It’s a spin-off from a Steven Covey quote: “We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour.” Here’s why it caught my attention....
Late afternoon, sometimes you need a little something to lift your energy to get you over the line.
I felt motivated to start making field recordings and soundscapes as a part of my adventures in sound. It’s best to listen to this with headphones on to immerse yourself in the sound.
#32 Digital Calm: We discuss the Epicurean principles of life versus Hedonism and what we mean by “Balanced Pleasure.” Why housework is good for thinking and developing friendships can be the basis for a fulfilling life. The three kinds of desires and how you can use them to create a...
In this episode, I’m in the hot seat as my friend Cristina unleashes her inner journalist on me to find out what’s behind my love of social radio, which has become my latest passion project. I also talk about how I got into Internet radio and my time at Radio Warwickshire. I...
#AudioMo Day 14: I get reacquainted with the Triggering Town.
#AudioMo Day 12 has me thinking about how I can go out with a bang instead of a whimper. transcript
I ventured out into the post-pandemic world yesterday. There were a few walkers around, but not many. Someone a few cubicles over from me kept coughing. Once upon a time, they would have been tarred and feathered and tossed out into the street. But now, with the vaccine pumping through...
We venture into deep water on this episode tackling consciousness and self-awareness and how they affect who we believe ourselves to be. On the playlist we have music from Justin Warfield, Air, Beth Orton, Skylab, Poets of Thought and more.
#AudioMo In the last couple of days I’ve been able to get into flow state. I love that feeling. It’s awesome. So what have I been doing to get into flow state?
I’ve been threatening to go on a hamburger adventure for many years, now I think the time is ripe. We’ve been cooped up for a year dealing with this whole pandemic thing and now that we’re finally allowed back out, I’m ready to hit the road. In the episode, we...
