While I am preparing my next episode, I wanted to share with you a special project that I'm really excited about. It's called Podsafe for Peace. A group of independant musicians has released this collaborative Christmas anthem. All proceeds from the sale of the song, which is available online at www.podsafeforpeace.org will go directly to UNICEF.

To get the song, go to www.podsafeforpeace.org. To HEAR the song, download the episode here.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I know, I know. Two episodes in two days! It's so out of character for me. Once you get over the shock, download this new episode (by clicking this posting's title) . Better yet subscribe to the feed in iTunes, Odeo or other aggregator. This episode is a sound seeing tour of Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, California. Temperature: about 70 degrees F. I hope you feel like you are there yourself. I suggest you pick up a bowl of clam chowder. You are going to want to when your done listening to it.

TTWP Episode 6 - 11/19/05
Shownotes

Update: I inadvertently uploaded an episode of the Biddy Cast (Lascivious Biddies) which may contain some language not appropriate for some of my listeners. My apologies to anyone who may have been offended. A corrected episode 6 is now available by clicking the title of this post or clicking here.

Today's podcast is all about podcasting and how to get podcasts. In case you are new to this new media form, consider this your introduction to this new world. I'll share some of my favorites with you and share a commentary with some reflective thoughts I had after listening to one of my favorites. So, enjoy the show!

Well, despite my best efforts (I swear I checked everthing!), the link to the Steve Jobs Keynote address in which Apple's CEO gives us a preview of the podcasting features just fulfilled last week had a typo. Oops! The original post has now been corrected and the information is also repeated below. It's about an hour long, but it's worth a look for the times listed below. Sorry for my slip.

1. Steve Jobs address to the Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference -- see it here
   1. includes mention of plans for incorporating podcasting into ITunes version 4.9 in 6:50 - 12:25 minutes.

Whoa! This one is a long one! 1 hr. long and 13 MB is size! I guess I had a lot to cover and had fun doing it! :) Don't worry, this won't be my typical length. Topics covered include my Digital Camera Buyer's Guide, BIG news from Apple on iTunes 4.9, e-mail feedback and more!

I should have TTWP Episode #5 in 10-14 days. My feature for that podcast will be a discussion of things you can do with the digital pictures in your camera. What do you want to learn? Let me know. I'm your online computer teacher!! Just e-mail me!!
