Welcome to episode 127 of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast!

It’s hard to believe I started doing this over six years ago, and I wasn’t sure I’d come back. I was inspired to fire up the podcast recording software, play some music from Kutiman, and say a few words.

Some CRM consulting and other consulting this year.
Reading… A LOT. Favorite book this year has been Simon Sinek‘s Start With WHY.
My why: to connect others and help tell great stories

Random fact

Look at the following pattern:

1*9=09
2*9=18
3*9=27
4*9=36
5*9=45
6*9=54
7*9=63
8*9=72
9*9=81
10*9=90

Add up the resulting digits of a multiple of 9 and you’ll get 9.
To quickly add 9 to any number increase the tens digit and decrease the ones digit. (same as adding 10 and subtracting 1).

Music

Check out Kutiman’s ThruYou project (http://thru-you.com). Songs played:

+ “Mother of All Funk Chords”
+ “I M New”
+ “Someday”

So Google Video is doing the way of the dinosaur. I got an email saying that I could transfer videos I’d uploaded to YouTube.

Back in 2005 we had just gotten our first video camera and were looking for ways to experiment with making video. While driving home from the store one afternoon, we were listening to some music, and our daughter Keisha started making her doll Noelle rock out to it. Jennie was sitting in the back and caught it on video camera.

I took the video and put it behind the the 60-second intro of “No Use Denying” by the Cool Waters Band. Since that time, the CWB is no longer together, and the website mentioned in the video is no longer around – everything has been moved to journeyinsidemymind.com.

Mood: ecstatic
Listening to: my first official podcast

4/14/2006 Update: My voice in this episode sounds “chipmunk’d” because I recorded it in 16,000 Hz whereas the recent shows are recorded at 44,100 Hz. I think all the streaming players assume the latter speed, and maybe that’s why my voice sounds so sped up. Unfortunately, the mp3 exists in the Internet Archive like this.

I’m able to hear the episode at the recorded speed by importing it into Audacity. Maybe I’ll re-do this in 44,100 Hz and post it here.

first “official” podcast of Journey Inside My Mind

Folks, this must be what it feels like – on a much smaller level – to give birth. This is the first “official” podcast of Journey Inside My Mind – 10 minutes long! Sure, I’ve done audio posts here and there, but this one at least sounds more professional:

I’ve even got a theme! In this podcast

• I share a little bit about my blogging history, including other blogs I’ve spun off of this one
• We listen to a wonderful song by Jennifer Helane entitled “Nice”
• I describe some of the more unique aspects of Journey Inside My Mind; namely Guideposts, the Mooch List, and what it means to be an Official of this blog.

Now, for some props to those who helped make this episode possible:

• Odeo – secondary mp3 hosting
• Audacity
• The Podsafe Music Network
• OurMedia.org and their partnership with the Internet Archive – original mp3 hosting

Please leave me a comment (guidepost) or send me an e-mail to let me know what you think!
