Up the Tree

!(photo left)http://www.upthetree.com/wp-uploads/parispcast.jpg(Paris Hilton Podcast)!:http://houseofwaxmovie.warnerbros.com/podcast.html Because who better to speak for the audio dorks of the world then Paris Hilton? I could say a lot of nasty things about this, but I’m sure the hilarious Paris Hilton House of Wax Podcast will do an adequate job for me when it airs in late April… I can only imagine the editing nightmare of that show. Maybe Paris, and the misguided marketing efforts of Warner Brothers Inc., are unaware that Paris is only entertaining when “scantily clad”:http://images.google.com/images?q=paris+hilton&safe=off and has a voice like an underaged helium salesman.

_Oh Paris, if I thought you were doing this for any noble reason I might not insult you so - but I have an inkling that you have no idea what Podcasting is or what “inkling”:http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=inkling means._

(This is, however, a very good reason for video podcast technology to pick up it’s pace.)

Ok, just for the record I am not a complete chauvinist pig… _you have no idea what I’m talking about right?_ I was a guest presenter on the most excellent sports podscast the “Skinny on Sports”:http://www.skinnyonsports.com/ for their “awards show the Skinnies”:http://www.skinnyonsports.com/2005/03/23/the-skinnies/ and during my announcement of Hottest Female Athlete I said “Maria Sharapova - she’s seventeen, but as long as there is grass on the field…”

If you listen to the skinny on sports, like I do, you might know that Maria Sharapova is a tennis player and a very good one at that. I was only commenting that as long as there is grass on the field… she can play tennis… This of course is completely incorrect, as an athlete playing tennis she can also play on astroturf or clay. I just wanted to make this appology to anyone female or not, who felt I was discriminating against those that play on alternative surfaces. Again I oppologise.

So please allow me this slight correction “as long as there is an appropriate surface to play tennis on.”

Please go take a listen to the “Skinney on Sports”:http://www.skinnyonsports.com/ and thank you Skinneys!

USATODAY.com - Podcasting: It’s all over the dial

ASCAP had now recognized PodCasts in their ASCAP Internet License Agreement. I am really excited about this development as it will allow me to play all the independent music I shall ever want to play. It will also mean that all the music I play would be 100% legal and law abiding. For the price of an iPod I can play as much music as I like and my podcast domain will start…

Oh, Josiah called today. Apparently, his memory is back and now he wants to record a podcast. We are all scheduled for a weekend recoding spree complete with promo photo shoots.
