Opps!

I’d already posted this to the Knitcast blog but forgot to post it to this one as well. The Mousemat interview went out today at 4pm GMT not last Wednesday. Mousemat is repeated on a Wednesday which is why I got the date wrong. So, you can listen to the programme online until next Sunday, at 4pm GMT. The link is in the previous post.

Andy was off sick for a few days this week with a lurgy that he’s since passed on to me. Cheers Honey! 🙂 He’s feeling a little bit better and will be in work tomorrow.

I’ve been tidying this week as our new sofa (couch) arrived on Friday. To fit it in the living room I had to clear a space in my study for our little cane sofa. We now have our old two seater sofa and the new three seater sofa in the living room. I had to move the tv and a small bookcase around since we’ll be sitting on the large sofa now.

I’m still quite surprised with how many recycling bags I’ve managed to fill with old magazines, newspapers and shredded papers. We have a local recycling scheme where you pay for green bags which are the size of bin (garbage) bags and the council pick them up every two weeks. I’ve filled about six so far and still have more paper to go in them.

While I’ve been tidying I’ve been listening to podcast on my new ipod speakers. The speakers have very good sound and look very cool as well.

My favourite podcasts include

Geek Fu Action Grip presented by Mur Lafferty. Mur writes these wonderful observational pieces with a sci-fi/comic related slant. She can also be heard on The Dragon Page.

Collected Comics – a podcast about comics. Also includes DVD news. Very good so far.

The Comic Book Geeks – They’re still ironing out some technical issues but if you like comic books check them out. One of the presenters is also a big Dr Who fan.

Pop Goes the Culture – I do listen to non scifi podcasts and this is one that I really look forward to. Susie is a trends analyst and Barb is a political cartoonist. They have great discussions on pop culture and some of their topics include food, the cult of celebrity and news v entertainment.

Let’s give you one more before I get back to the real world and housework stuff.

G’day World – The first podcast I ever listened to. Mick and Cameron are two Australian podcasters – I have relatives living in Australia so maybe I’m a bit biased toward Aussies!) who have some very interesting interviewees and subjects. A lot of the time they talk about technology issues but the show is far more than that.
