Finally, iPod supports high-quality voice recording
I’ve been waiting for this for years. A scant week after my iPod nano arrived in the mail, comes news that the new iPod (announced yesterday) does proper stereo recording.
Anyone want to buy an immaculate black 4 gig nano?
Update: iLounge has more details in their article Why podcasters (and bootleggers?) will love the new iPod.

How hot is the Sony PCM-D1?
Via Music Thing comes the announcement of Sony’s new professional flash recorder — the PCM-D1:
It records 24/96 wav files on 4gb internal, or memory sticks. It has analog VU meters. It runs off four AA batteries. It’s made by Sony. Out of titanium.
I wonder what it’d take to get a review unit out of them before it ships in December.

CKDU Funding Drive 2005
I spent the Thanksgiving weekend in Nova Scotia.
Today I made a pledge to the CKDU Funding Drive, which starts October 21st. CKDU is home to many of my favourite radio shows, like Popped Culture, Let’s Get Baked, Smart Patrol, and The Rose Parade.
Why should you pledge? Aside from supporting community radio, there are great prizes. And this year’s t-shirts are hot!

Financial cushion
An email from the CMG cleared up the question, “Will Dan get a signing bonus, even though he has no job to return to?”
CBC management has also committed to depositing the $1,000 signing bonus in employees’ accounts by the end of the day on Wednesday October 12. Everyone who was on the CBC payroll as of August 14, 2005, including casual employees who worked at least 13 weeks between April 1, 2004 and August 14, 2005, qualify for the signing bonus.
This, along with the 2.5 percent retroactive salary increase should make the next couple of weeks a little easier.
