I've used the iTalk Pro recorder to try my hand at audio blogging or perhaps a podcast but haven't produced anything I like yet.  There's a stiffness that comes from talking to a machine.  Like talking to an answering machine.  I wish I had a co-host to help elicit more humanity out of me.

My hands hurt.  As usual.  It's a beautiful day.  A good day to catch up on the many tasks needed to ease one's garden from summer to fall but I hurt too much to even contemplate it.  I did make myself get out and do an "observation walk".  While I was taking pictures, I wondered whether I should just record blog entries.  After all, typing hurts too. And when I thought of all the things I wanted to say, I balked at the idea of typing it all.

So, if I figure out the technical side, I'll start audio blogging.  I hope that folks will still follow my posts and comment.  I love interacting with and learning from other folks.

In the meantime, ways I've tried to "garden" even when I can't dig, hoe or cultivate include reading garden blogs, participating in Dave's Garden, reading my gardening books, harvesting/sorting/labeling seeds, and watching vlogs.  Netflix doesn't have gardening videos, to my post-surgery recovery disappointment.  YouTube doesn't have a ton of good stuff in this category.  The Garden Wise Guys looks promising, though.  And I just subscribed to the Wiggly Wigglers podcast.

If I had a videocam, I'd be trying to make something myself.  I took video production at BCM but haven't been able to do anything yet.  I hate the idea of checking out equipment.  I'd rather just have my own.
