the sound of silence

10 Feb 2004

This morning, I cancelled my subscription to audblog. They only bill every three months, so I tend to forget about them until I'm surprised by a PayPal receipt, one of which came last week. Granted, it's only $3/month, but my last audio post was in October and I've only posted a half dozen altogether, while no one among the couple hundred blogs I follow regularly has used the service in quite a while, either. And I never really found the right application for audio posts; I usually wrote them out beforehand, so I wouldn't sound like a complete idiot and usually transcribed them in the end, anyway, so effectively they were just like my other written posts.

I hear ya... so to speak. I thought audblog would be my outlet for some periodic public-radio-like entries, but it's just not the most efficient tool for that. And I never really got in the habit of whipping the cell phone out while in the field, for "here I am at..." location-type entries, either. Maybe I'll get around to canceling my subscription. Eventually.

Hi!
Your site is great!!! I'd love it.

You are right. That's the best thing one has to do in your case.

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
