Music > Podcast?

Lately, I’ve been missing audio production a little bit. I don’t mean like the podcast variety – more like studio recording. That’s what I went to college for, and that’s what I thought I was going to do with my life. I miss the atmosphere, the music, the feeling when something finally comes together for the first time. Most of all, I miss meeting famous musicians.

Kidding.

Ok, but that was definitely a perk. Another aspect of audio production that I loved was sound art/installation. I was never much of an artist, but sound art gave me the chance to express myself artistically in a way that I didn’t really know I was capable of. This week, I found out that my college professor, Jeff Talman, was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for his sound installations across Europe. You can get more info about his work here. Hopefully I can make it to Europe and see it in person this fall…

What this all comes down to is that while I’m very happy with my job, and I’m doing lots of creative video work, I’m a little sad to have left the creative sound work behind me. Podcasts are fun, but they don’t give me a chance to flex my artistic muscles in audio production. Maybe I should start working on something.

It’s been a while, I know. Once again, life has gotten in the way of blogging, but I do have a lot of catch you up on. Let me start with the title of this post.

In the past two days, I’ve had six needles jammed into my body. Two in my mouth (for the two baby cavities that needed to get “taken care of”) and four on my arms/torso for the removal of suspicious moles. The worst part about the mole fiasco was that I wasn’t expecting them to do it on that visit (in hindsight, probably for the best – I would have worried myself sick otherwise). Oh, and then the lovely nitrogen blast to take off another thing on my arm. That hurt the worst, and it’s still sitting there… waiting. Waiting to fall off…

OK! That was disgusting, and I apologize. The brightspot in my week so far has been purchasing my Sidekick 3. Finally, I have a new phone. It was expensive (around $378 for the phone and a one-year contract plus tax) but some of the other phones I was looking at would have put me past the $500 mark. Yeah, no.

I was also excited to learn today that Sling Media has made a Mac-compatible version of the SlingPlayer. It’s still in beta, but I’m always happy when someone makes their awesome product run on my computer. Except… yeah. I don’t have a laptop or a device that can play video content, so it kind of doesn’t matter.

I have a question – does anyone know how to play YouTube videos in WordPress? I’ve been looking in all the forums, and nothing has worked for me. Even the method Matt came up with won’t work. I’m at my wits end!
