I did get through Green Grass and High Tide (barely), and am doing pretty well with the drumming. Though, I’m still on medium. I haven’t gotten much further in the game as I’ve spent most of my time lately in practice mode.

I also got through medium on the guitar. I’ve done some singing but I’m still feeling a little awkward about spending time in my bedroom singing.

The portable air conditioner in my bedroom has decided to go tits up on me. Well, not totally, but it doesn’t spew out cold air any longer. Of course, it has started getting hotter just as this happens. The air conditioner actually belongs to my roommates. I’m considering taking out a small personal loan and buying my own. The nice thing about the one I’m looking at is it mists out the extra water so you don’t have to constantly empty it. I hope I can get this done soon.

While I’m at work, I like to listen to/watch podcasts. The majority of the ones I watch are tech news podcasts, such as T.W.I.T. and GeekBrief.TV. I enjoy getting the different perspectives on what’s going on in technology.

The latest one I’ve found is TeXtra, hosted by Natali Del Conte. Like GeekBrief.TV, TeXtra is on the PodShow Network. TeXtra is a technology news podcast with some culture and humor thrown into the mix. It is recorded on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

The show mixes a professional look and feel of a quality television program with the accessability of a podcast. Natali, being an established tech journalist, does a great job in presenting tech news. She is knowledgable, funny and cute. She sometimes seems a little nervous on camera still, however. I’m sure that will improve as she does more shows.

I would recommend this podcast to anyone interested in finding out what’s going on in the world of technology. I enjoy it and will continue watching.
