Ordinary Average Guy Podcast

We got up to a beautiful morning and headed off to the Waunakee Air Park for their annual “Pancakes and Planes” breakfast.  After a delicious breakfast and a bit of socializing we got a chance for a plane ride with some of the local pilots.  Sara and Suzie went up in one and I went up alone in another (Steven opted out) and took the following video.

Note this was taken with my Canon HG-10 HiDef camcorder, so the downloads are big.  I am putting a flash version (about 120MB) here along with an iPod compatible version (about 240MB).

When my sister and her family were visiting from Orlando, my wife and kids took them out to get up close and personal with some cows since my 3 year old nephew likes them.  They took my new Canon HG10 HD camcorder with them and came home with this funny bit…so here it is!

….that you were able to pose with the “Weiner Mobile” like we did? 

Is there a better reason?   As for all this online stuff…podcast..blog…twitter..etc, if and when I have free time again I may get back to it.  But for now, life is too busy and my family is just that much more important.

Till then,

See ya!

Hold On while I answer the phone…

Lots of good old fashioned OAG stuff this time inluding mashups, sports talk and even (gasp!) politics!

Here are a few of the links I mentioned in today’s show.

As anyone who has even casually visited here over the course of the last year or so, the answer to the question in the title is….

Not Much

It started out as the place I would post my podcasts…then it became a vast wasteland for awhile. Next I tried to catch the podcasting bug again by taking part in NaPodPoMo . That only worked for a little more than a week. Soon, I started posting videos, whether from my Treo or from a web site. But even that faded quickly. Lately it has been playing with Twitter, but even that won’t last long. Then today I spent some time updating the software for this blog and adding Adsense etc and when I was done I sat back and looked at it all and said…

Why am I doing this?

Well, I pondered that for awhile and couldn’t answer it so I came up with this great idea…

Ask you all…

… the people who occasionally come here. After all you must come here for some reason. So what is it? What is it you want to see/hear here? By now you should all know a dozen or so ways to get hold of me. Use any of those methods or any new ones you can think of to let me know what you think. Who knows maybe this will all lead onto something bigger and better! At worst it will just lead to more of the same….

Thanks,

Bob

My sister, a music teacher in Orlando Florida, was surprised the other day when her students and some others ‘kidnapped’ her the day of their big holiday concert. You can read and see what happened here:

I am so happy that they were able to do this for her, as she does so much for others without ever doing anything for herself.
