Twenty Acre Lake

It’s official: Twenty Acre Lake is shutting down, for ever. This podcast never generated any interest, and it was a lot of work for me to put out a quality show time after time. So instead of merely fading away, I’m making it explicit - the Twenty Acre Lake podcast is gone, and I won’t be starting it up again. Thanks to anyone who listened and/or commented.

Hey all. Just a quick note to let you know the next episode is slightly behind and will be posted Monday. I went to Boston for work the first week of the month, then to Salt Lake City the second week. I’m a little tired!

I had a very pleasant video chat with Nick’s Mom this afternoon. We talked about housework, the weather (it was a cold Saturday morning there, and it was snowing in Balclutha for the first time in two years!), and Nick’s new iPod Nano he received for winning the Big Contest. Oh, and Nick was in the video chat, too.

Congrats to Nick of The Nick and Jayne Show for winning The Big Contest. You totally deserve it!

Still on target for Episode 6 to be out in a couple of days. In the meantime, Nick from The Nick and Jayne Show posted his interview of me. I tried not to sound like a total dork. He interviewed me via audio chat using Apple’s iChat. He’s all the way over in New Zealand, and I’m not sure he was operating at full bandwidth at the time, and I sound somewhat muffled. But it all worked out.

I caught a cold this week, and there’s no way I’m recording a podcast while I sound so sick! In the meantime, I recommend the following podcasts:

• Dawn and Drew
• The Nick and Jayne Show
• BLARM!
• History According to Bob
• Bob’s Yer Uncle

Also, feel free to send me an email, leave a comment or stop by the message board.

Below are pictures of two cars, a new Ferrari 599GTB and a new Ford Mustang. Which car looks better to you? Why?

Yes, it’s taking much longer than I thought it would.

• I recorded the podcast today, but I know I’ve got a little editing to do. I made too many tracks and left in too much dead air.
• I still have to come up with intro and ending music. I’ve got some things already that I made in GarageBand. There’s no time to find podsafe music. I’d like to play on a new recording, but I can’t take the time right now.
• I want to go with the full iTunes spec in my RSS feed, so I am anticipating having to hand-code the file. I found a WordPress plugin to do it, but it also comes with its own player, and I need some time to play with it and see how customizable it is.

Twenty Acre Lake is my podcast about design, culture and living. The show spans a lot of territory within those three topics, including several surprises. It’s my goal to keep it fast and interesting, and to maybe turn you on to great things you’ve been missing or never knew.

All the setting up is just about finished. The first podcast episode will debut tomorrow, Wednesday. The message board will open at the same time, so stop by, sign up and introduce yourself.
