Our second bout with audio equipment took place last night. The results were less than amazing. The goal of the night was to get our video equipment supplemented by a much better microphone so that the vlogs we intended to do wouldn’t sound like they were taken in an aquarium. This time we couldn’t quite manage to appease whatever faction of technowizards controls our video equipment and it utterly rejected all of our attempts. We shall try again sometime in the future – or, hey, maybe just say to hell with audio quality and make the videos anyways.
The night wasn’t a complete loss however; in the absence of a vlog we recorded a pod-cast. The editing still isn’t done and that’ll have to wait until I have a night free to finish up, hopefully sometime soon. This one features a lot more of Trevor as we go through a game that he and Josh have designed. It’s just rolling into production now, so it’s at roughly the same stage of creation as Aird in the last pod-cast. Not that the timing is intentional or anything; it’s just a neat bit of trivia. This is how ideas take root, and their first steps on the road of creation. If I could make it a theme I would, but it’s somewhat difficult to find people to talk about their ideas when they’re still in the stage where they haven’t really told anyone yet.

Now here’s where you should be reading a review about the Ipad2, done up properly now that I’ve been toying around with it for several days straight. Its run headlong into the same issue everything else does when I try to make work with friends over; distractions. I have material, a bizarre collection of thoughts and judgments about the nifty piece of tech and it’s all been dutifully written up on the device itself. But it stops at that; I haven’t formulated anything I’d consider a post. Frankly most of it was written in my attempts to practice typing on the damn thing and large tracts of the rest relate to more obscure technical aspect I’m concerned with. I’m starting to suspect I’m simply bad at reviewing things.
Though for this one product I’m not too terribly worried. I can give the thumbs up of approval to anyone who’s considering buying it and doesn’t already own an Ipad1. Any more in-depth review would be made solely for Mac fans, which while I’m not filled with the stereotypical PC owner hatred of; I simply don’t cater to. If any of them saw the review and stumbled into this site I can’t see myself producing any more content of that nature to satisfy them. I won’t be buying any other Mac products for a long time.
Still, I’m keeping a personal log of sorts on the Ipad, and if it ever grows to a decent length and I have a lazy day I may post that in place of a real post, dressing it up nicely and calling it a review. Despite my best efforts off days do happen every now and then in which I find myself starved for things to talk about. It’s a concept that would’ve staggered me a month ago – but then again, a great deal of my thoughts are revisiting old ideas and trying a new take on them. It’s not something that lends itself well to blogs, far too much of it would be me agreeing with myself and editing tiny details.
Oh, and before I sign off; spring is officially back, with all the wetness and warmth that such entails. We’ll be off into the wilderness soon, and I’m going to try and bring the video camera when we go. I’d make some sort of promise, but then we wouldn’t be allowed to have nice things anymore. Do try and cope.
