A quick-look at my new 'blogxast' station

Things are slowly coming together, the following picture representing the new station in which I just pieced together to act in the capacity of my "blogxast" station where I will be creating, editing, and "blogxasting" my up and coming talk shows which I mentioned as part of the ChannelXML announcement. I actually have three separate shows planned, all with a very different focus, one in which has no real technology focus whatsoever. I'll post more details when things are a bit more solidified as to dates, times, and content for each blogxast.

BTW... If you are wondering what a "blogxast" is its what I personally believe podcasting should be called. Why?

The partial reason is I don't really like iPods, they're WAY overpriced for what they offer, and I've always had a dislike for Apple in general. But moving beyond my own personal dislikes blogxasting simply fits better into what is actually taking place and allows room for other types of content besides audio as at the present is what the iPod family offers (excluding iPod photo which, when you look at the size of the screen, it leaves you wondering why even bother.) No doubt they will eventually catch up with the rest of their competitors and provide video and finally begin to offer PVR and on device playback similar to that in which my Archos AV400 is capable of doing. [You can see my Archos in the background of this picture -- A FANTASTIC device that kicks my iPods ass -- yes, I actually own an iPod, used it for 3 days, and replaced its usage with the Archos... best decision I've made in a long time. The iPod is around here somewhere, I think...]

Anyway, the pic...

We're gettin' there. :D
