Week 7 thoughts and stuff that are a lot like thoughts

What a week. It started out with a Sunday and skipped right away to Thursday at 9:06 p.m. local which is 7:36 a. m. in Afghanistan. Every one in the course seems to be a week or two ahead of me. I get requests to check out their presentations (which I love to do) and my recording time slips away in chunks too small for me to record in anyway.

I learned over the years that a minute of great quality recording takes about an hour to produce. I also discovered how really hard it is to not look goofy on a web cam. I need more practice or more mood altering substances to make me look natural. I am thinking of doing out takes for the end of my pod cast if it doesn't turn into one big out take/laugh track inducing farce.

On another note, hmmmm, (that was Be sharp) I find it interesting to be working on a project that will serve a dual role. A podcast can be used in synchronous or asynchronous form. If a class contains repetitive material, an instructor can record it before hand and introduce it while taking role. If there are any students absent the material is there for them in an asynchronous form.
