I'm trying something new. An audio blog. I don't know how many people are doing this - or - if they are doing it the way I'm doing it. But I can speak a lot faster than I can type - and - it only used a little over 1/2 meg for 4 1/2 minutes worth of rant.
It explains itself. All you have to do is Click Here and listen to what I have to say. The voice speaks for itself.
So - that having gone well I made a second recording where I describe the Digital Voice Recorder in more detail.
Although you not have to have it, I found some audio software called Goldwave. Here's another mp3 audio file where I Tell you About It. the Glodwave software can be found at goldwave.com.
Just as an experiment here's a little audio Using the Internal Microphone that is built into the voice recorder. It doesn't sound to bad - the audio levels are lower - but that's not a surprise. Not as good as the external mic - but it is usable. But - I used the Goldwave software on the file and created this Enhanced Version that sounds every bit as good as my $9.95 external mic. I just brought the audio levels up about 12 db and added a little bass and treble.
I've done yet another experiment I just did another rant this time using the clip on mic that came with the recorder. Additionally I spent some time editing it with the Goldwave software where I removed about 30 seconds of a bad joke and a few "ya knows". I did mess with the audio a little too much so there is a little clipping - but I'm getting better at that.
So - I called up my friend Bartcop to tell him about it and tried it out recording the phone conversation. I had to do a little digital compression and expansion to get our voices to the same level - but I think it sounds pretty good considering I'm on a $20 900mhz cordless phone.

Letter to the Editor
I'm making it a new years resolution to be more patriotic this year by doing whatever I have to do to get Bush out of the Whitehouse and restore freedom and democracy to America.
It's been almost 4 long years since Bush stole the election. Since then we went from the biggest surplus in the history of the world to the biggest deficit in the history of the world. Peace and prosperity turned into war and poverty. Liberty and Freedom gave way to Homeland Security and the government spying on everything we do. We not send our sons to die in a war in Iraq that has turned out to be a fraud. Freedom and Patriotism are merely marketing slogans and America is shunned in the world community.
America used to be a great nation. We can restore it to the way it used to be. We can go back to the days where the president is elected by the people and not appointed by the supreme court. I want all of you to make it a new year's resolution to rebuild our nation and make America a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.
