Mea Culpa
It has been pointed out to me that I published the show yesterday with no ID tags whatsoever or no artwork. As you might can guess, I missed a step in my workflow yesterday. Because I was busy GTDizing my life, I did my normal show review step on my portable device rather than the [...]
EGC Clambake For July 30, 2006
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for July 30, 2006.
I wish my niece a happy birthday; I play a song by Ozma; I talk about getting myself organized with the GTD system and a Hipster PDA (PAA, really); I play a song from an Amy Ray solo album; [...]
GTD Day
I’m well into GTD day. I have assembled my giant in-box (which is one side of my office), done my “mind-sweep” to collect projects, gathered together a bunch of file folders and a place to put them and generally got myself in position. Now it is time to begin the processing of the monster pile. [...]
GTD Eve
Tomorrow I’m going to make the first big push to start using the GTD system. I’ll be doing the “mind sweep”, gathering all the various detritus of my life into the inbox (which will really be the “in corner of the room” because there will be so much of it) and doing the initial processing [...]
Akismet Under Siege?
I’m getting a lot more comment spam oozing past the filters in the last 12 hours than has been typical over the previous few months. Is something happening with Akismet? I notice that when I mark those things as spam, it’s really slow to submit. I wonder if either via DDOS or just plain old [...]

Thank goodness for the return of portability. My interim podcast listening system really sucked. I burned a CD full of stuff and then dusted off my iRiver SlimX CD player. Because it was a drag to tote that thing around and I didn’t want to have to burn a lot of CDs, I only listened [...]
Organize Me
So this weekend I’m going to do the big initial push of getting myself working on the David Allen GTD system. I have to decide what the mechanics will be, will I use a paper system or a computer system or what? It has to be portable between home and work, and although my original [...]
The Return of the mobiBLU
Holy crap, commentor Jared gave me instructions on how to revive my dead mobiBLU, and it worked! It took 30 minutes of installing, flashing, rebooting, reinstalling, etc but now that it is done, the cube is once again alive. Thank you Jared! I should note that I left a voice mail with mobiBLU support, who [...]
Interview Audio Levels
Since Jon Udell left a comment on my earlier post, I thought I’d do a quick write up on my current interview recording and processing technique. I adapted my current process from many other smarter people like Doug Kaye, after having multiple instances of having to laboriously fix the sound on interviews I had conducted. [...]
Drop It Like It’s Hot
I know that a lot of people do their podcast listening during their commute to work. Ironically, adding a commute to my life reduced my podcast listening. I used to have 8-10 hours of listening time a day, and although I have 45 minutes in the car I don’t have all day to listen anymore. [...]
The Commuting Life
I’m still getting back in the swing of the whole commuting thing. Even after a month, it doesn’t seem quite right or natural. I have a hard time getting it all together and getting my self out the door at a reasonable time. This morning, I assembled my lunch and then left it in the [...]
Getting Things Done
It sounds like a stupid joke, but I’ve had a copy of Getting Things Done for just under two years now, and I’ve never made the time to sit down and read it. I started on my lunch Friday and continued today. I went in kind of half-skeptical of the whole thing, but I think [...]
Bloglines Podcasting
My buddy Chris pointed this one out to me. In the Bloglines blog about itself, they announce their direct support for podcasting. The screenshot they show is of the feed for Voices in Your Head. The sad part is that I’ve only done two shows in the last 16 months. I just did an interview [...]
Things that Just Don’t Work
Things that Just Don’t Work
Originally uploaded by evilgenius.
Today is a day of trying to do simple things that just fail. Last week, some kind folks started a thread at Podcast Pickle talking about AmigoFish. I’ve resisted signing up there for over a year because I [...]
Off Week
Wow, I had a burst of blogging last weekend and then not one post during the whole week. I never quite intended that to be the mode, but that’s the way it went. Oh well, them’s the breaks.
Killing Podcasting
I mostly agree with this article from the Podcast NYC blog - killing podcasting one VC dollar at a time. I’ll admit that I have a pretty strong hard-off for Odeo, because I’m still bugged at all the fawning “Oh, here comes Evan to save podcasting” bullshit with folks talking about how wonderful they were [...]
The Power of Open Source
One of the things I want to blog about is my adventures setting up my work computer. It is a really sweet machine, a Dell Inspiron 9400. It has the widescreen resolution, and they bought me a second monitor so we wanted to get it running in dual head mode. Of course, the very first [...]
Security Hookup
This is the post that precipitated the previous rules post. There is a local Myrtle Beach firm that is releasing a computer security video and audio podcast that I like a lot. It is the Security Hookup. Joe, the guy that does it is the first geek I met in the Grand Strand, and [...]

In the four years since I started this blog, I have worked for a couple of different places. In all that time, I have never identified where I work by name or anything stronger than cryptic references to the industry. I am going to change that, but under very specific conditions. First, the story:
I started [...]
Supporting Nerd Documentaries
One thing I’ve tried to be good about is financially supporting nerdly documentaries. I’ve got the money to do so, and I truly love to see members of the tribe creating them so I want to encourage more of them. I talked with the Open Roadtrip guys recently, which was a hoot. I don’t know [...]
