PoP #001 Pick Your Passion

Monday, May 26th, 2008

The long awaited Podcasting on Podcasting series has begun! It took me a long time to figure out how to actually get started on this, but I think I have a plan! PoP will be in the feed along with the NosillaCast feed, but as an extra little bonus show so that if some of you aren’t interested you can skip it! But of course I know ALL of you want to listen to ANYTHING I have to blather about! In this inaugural episode I’ll talk about how to pick your topic.

#152 Three Year Anniversary Show

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

In this special episode we celebrate together the three year anniversary of the NosillaCast. Enjoy the voices of the listeners of the show as they describe in their own voices how they found the NosillaCast. Some are heartfelt, some are funny, and all inspire me to continue doing the show as long as you’ll keep listening. We also have a review of the Honda Element by Honda Bob, and in Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart and I discuss his experience helping his grandfather protect his Windows PC, and those tools he recommends when Windows is inevitable.

#151 Bonus Chit Chat Across the Pond

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Today is WEDNESDAY May 14th, 2008, and this is show number 151. What the heck? <i>Another</i> surprise episode??? that’s crazy! Well, I told you on Sunday’s show that Bart and I weren’t able to get together, but I sorta lied. Ok, not REALLY lied, we didn’t get together till Sunday and by then i’d already put together enough material for a full show, so I decided to make another bonus show, with just a Chit Chat Across the Pond. Sit back, relax, and enjoy
