Everyone: Call 206-339-ERIC (206-339-3742) and comment! Yes, the "Tradition and Tweaks" Ericast really did show up this week! This week's question:  Does it hurt when your fancy gets struck?  (No, that's not really a question...) iPodder, Juice, Lemon... I just use (and love!) Downcast these days.  K7.net is still alive and well and I still love them.  Almost as much as I love my fluffy new Costco body pillow.  Yes, this is random. What’s changing:  Not much.  The pre-intro summary is new – it’s a common “best practice”.  What do you think? Three-word titles.  A tradition since my undergraduate paper-writing days; unless there was an external mandate imposed by the faculty, I always used a three-word title.  Celebrating constrains per Joseph Rueter. Better show notes...  Because I find myself referring back to them when I listen to other people's podcasts.  And structure is good. More batching, so I can keep a regular schedule.  What’s contemporary and what’s batched?  You might never know. More Chesterton:  If a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly. Reviving the Dweeb Thoughts feed, and I need help for that; Posterous was so awesome that I can’t cope without it. DailyMugShot.com is now gone and has turned into a Thai dating site.  Really.
