Another episode this week as promised. For the most part, I feel like I have my mic issue resolved, but this should be resolved by the new mixer I am getting for Christmas from my brother’s family. Topics for today include some thoughts about major and non-major media outlets getting into podcasting, why does MSN suck, a little talk about hockey, and email feedback about beer, which results in a story about an experience I had in Mexico at the age of 17.

Happy New Year! Running straight into 2006, I hope you can handle this episode of RadioZoom. In today’s episode, I talk a little about my new years celebration in Vancouver, being sick with the flu, some hockey discussion, email feedback about Canadian beer, and the music you’ve come to expect from me.

I’m still stuck with this awful headset, but not for much longer. I made some changes midway through the podcast, so you can notice a difference in my voice as it goes on. I already recorded the whole episode, so I’m putting it out anyway. I have a Christmas present coming from my brother in the next few days, so watch for the quality of my podcasts to get much better.

There’s new snow on the mountains! I said that I would post this picture in the show notes, so here it is. This is good news for the local skiers, which I’d try to be one of if I had health insurance.

It’s a bit late in the outgoing, but I guess you could call this my Christmas episode. I talk about a variety of things in this podcast. Holiday shopping, a little bit of hockey talk, and some email from fellow podcasters. Even got a little bit of Rebecca in on this episode. Remember, her birthday is on January 9th, so send me all your birthday wishes now to help make it a good one.

Merry Christmas and thanks for listening!

This episode had lots of ups and downs within its creation, but I’m not one to take something I made and not do something with it. This is going out a little later than what has been expected of me lately. I have no excuses other than just having other things in my life preoccupy my time. We start out with a little talk about the Vancouver Canucks, debut the first ever installment of Zoom In Tech, and finish up with listener email. As always, great music for you to check out, played with permission.

Zoom In Tech is a segment I will do from time to time about things in the world of technology that are important to me or that I just find cool. It’s a way for me to share information with you, but I am far from an expert. It’s just another passion that I have in my life.
