Mike Dell's World

Why are people hoarding Toilet Paper?   I don't know.   BUT it is happening.

Check out this article from Time Magazine 

I talk about the COVID-19 outbreak and some of the things to think about and wonder about.    I have no "FACTS".  Nobody does.  It just my impressions, opinions and what I have heard, read and seen.

I talk about Social Distancing and why it's a good idea ANYWAY.   Regardless of what is going on right now.

Be careful out there!

My thoughts on Daylight Saving Time:

Leave it on DST year around

Later Sunrise right now sucks

Dogs can't figure it out

TV Networks Greedy or Stupid?  Same with Newspapers.

I talk about the website hosting and some of the issues I have been having over the last few months.    (see Blog post here)

Otherwise things are going well in the Northwoods!

A bit more of a health focus in our household.

Kathy and I are doing "intermittent fasting" I need to get some weight back off.  I lost 30 pounds last year and put 15 back on.

Doing some more walking, biking and general activity.

I quit drinking coffee (for now).

Planning on doing some YouTube lIve or Facebook Live videos.  Not sure yet which one or when.   More to come.

Getting my mobile podcasting setup tweaked.   Got a Lav mic I can use while walking.  Have the portable setup going as well for hotel room/travel episodes.  Also, I CAN podcast from my phone with reduced audio quality.

I remember back when podcasting started, there was a thing called a "Sound seeing tour".  That was a lot of fun for me to listen to others do it and I am guessing it might still be fun to listen to.  Bring back some of the indie podcaster type stuff that used to happen a lot in podcasting.   Podcasting is becoming more main-stream, but there is no reason we can't enjoy making and listening to some old-school podcast episodes.   I plan on doing that a bit.

Quick phone update. Hope the sound doesn’t suck too badly

Update from an easy chair in a snow storm in Northern Michigan.

Simplifying things that have become a personal pain the ass has been a good thing over the last few months.

I've cut down the podcasting hobby to this show (Mike Dell's World), Podcast Insider and Traverse City Weather.     Podcast Help Desk will remain online and I *may* add episodes once in a while.

I've cut down obligations in Ham Radio.   No longer am I the District EC for the 7th district of Michigan.

We cut the cable several months ago and went back to an Antenna for TV.

Simplifying my diet.

Other ways to just keep things as simple as possible.

 

 

Or listen if you like old-time piano music :)
