Mike Dell's World

I talk a bit more about the new Driving gig and another thing I will be doing soon. I talk a little about the weird weather we are having here in Northern Michigan.

Catch Me later!

An update. I've added a new contractor job to my list of things I'm doing. I talk a bit about that and my New To Me car... A 2002 Subaru Forester. A nice upgrade from my 91 Toyota that I've been driving since my Solara got wrecked (and totaled). (Not my fault, someone was texing and hit me from the rear.)

I talk about all the podcasts I subscribe to and asked for recomendations for new ones now that I will have time to listen in the car on my new gig.

Hope everyone has/had a good long weekend!

Catch me LATER!

Just a 20 minute recording while driving back to town after looking a couple of cars. I talk about contacts, cars and my upcoming trip to Ohio for a Ham Radio Convention.

Fun stuff.

Warning, Politics talk!

Am I the only one that is for Gun Rights and Gay Marriage? In other words, I'm for freedom to do what you want as long as it doesn't effect me and I don't have to pay for it.

I go on a bit of a rant about our political system in the USA. It's a bit screwed up, but it is better then any other system ever tried. So lets stick with it.

Catch me Later!

I talk about my decision to go for contact lenses. I've worn glasses most of my life and for the last couple of years, I've worn bifocals and had a separate pair of "computer" glasses, prescription sun glasses and even a pair of cheaters (the reading glasses you get at drug stores). When I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, I forgot my glasses case in the car I was driving. Instead of buying 2 new pairs of glasses, I will go for contacts.

I'm thinking with contacts I should be able to get away with just a set of weak cheaters (maybe) for reading small type and then I can wear some cool "normal" sunglasses. I guess I will see if I am able to stick my finger in my eye :)

As you can see from the right hand side of this page, I'm starting an audio blog / podcast that is just free-form. I couldn't stay away from doing a personal podcast. Something where I didn't have rules, I didn't have a schedule and didn't have advertisers. Just plain old podcasting.

Hopefully you will get something out of listening to me rant once in a while.

You can subscribe in iTunes (or whatever podcatcher) by using this RSS feed address: http://mikedell.com/feed/mike/ It's not the same as any of my other feeds. Starting back at ground zero.

*** Even if you do subscribe, please check back to mikedell.com for Audio Boos, Youtube Videos and whatever else ***

Today I talk about the blog post over at Mike Dell's World where I wonder if the word "Podcast" has run is course.

I have re-branded this show as an "online radio show" and I am a Broadcaster because of it. Read the post and listen to the show to hear more.

I had breakfast this morning with Keven Reeves and a bunch of other geeks at the Traverse City Geek Breakfast. It was a great time!

I played some of Kevin's old music (from 2005 and 2006) in this show.

Wasted, Shine and Throw Me A line all from Music Alley and available other places I'm sure. Kevin just put out a new Album (if people still use that term) with his group "Crater Maker" which you can find at Amazon: amzn.to/zpRBbs and CD Baby: bit.ly/zBrfI6. Kevin is working on another album of his own music (pop/rock) that should be out sometime this year. He's also playing some local gigs. I need to get out and see him live again!

This was recorded while I paced around the house on a snowy day here in Traverse City. I talked about the Vegas trip from a Non-tech perspective.

If you want to hear what we were doing out there, go watch the video over at GeekOfTheNorth.com.
