    Could this be my next digital recorder?

    I’ve long been searching for the perfect portable digital recorder. At first glance, the recently announced HHB FlashMic looks like a good candidate.

    Food Fight!

    Over on his blog, CBC Workerbee has proposed a lockout blog food fight. I don’t have any great recipes to share (Tim Hortons and KD are staples in my diet), but I know two gentlemen who do: Mat and Dave from Let’s Get Baked with Mat and Dave.

    If you don’t know, Let’s Get Baked is Halifax’s premiere vegan baking show. While in Halifax last week, I got to visit the famed Allen Street Kitchens and enjoy several delicious vegan pies.

    Season Two just got underway, and their podcast has provided me with some excellent picket-line listening.

    Spent a great couple of hours on the line Sunday afternoon. Did a couple of laps with Michael Enright, then a couple with Nora Young. Talked lockout, CIUT, podcasting, and Toronto.

    It’s always nice to be reminded that the people I hear on the radio are actually real people.

    A lockout’ll do that to you

    I’m back in Toronto. The picketing here runs 24/7.

    Roommate Tristan and I arrived home late last night after a game of squash. We got in the door, and he asked what time it was. I joked, “I stopped caring about the time a few weeks ago.”

    Then the the truth of it sank in. I’ve been here almost a week, and my alarm clock is still unplugged.

    Soundtrack of our (Locked Out) Lives

    If you missed yesterday’s Soundtrack of Our (Locked Out) Lives on CKDU, you can listen to an archived version at: http://129.173.68.238/20050830.14.33-16.01.mp3. Also, an interesting discussion about the program is going on in the halifaxlocals forum.
