Hiya folks,

Earlier today, a thread was posted on the ZREO forums that caught my eye. It’s not a 100% original idea, but it’s for a good cause, which is what counts. One of the members from the ZREO Forum is going to be teaming up with a bunch of their friends to bring us a 72-hour (3 days) Legend of Zelda marathon to benefit the National Alliance for Mental Illness. The event doesn’t start until New Year’s Eve (December 31st), but it’s never too early to check out an event such as this.

Evening folks,

I’ve got something completely new for you to check out tonight. You’re looking at it. I’ve decided to launch a brand new layout for the podcast site, one that feels a little more modern and less ugly (or so I hope). Please keep in mind that this layout is in a preview stage and is not  yet fully done (it will be finished a lot quicker than last time). That said, I know some things are a little funky right now. They will all be fixed for the official release. I turned the new layout on now to see if anyone had any comments or feedback before I go any further. So, if there’s something you want to see, just leave a comment and who knows, your idea might make it into the release.

Ta for now,

~ Stephen

Hiya folks!

Got a bunch of site upgrades to be rolled out today. First up, a mobile version of the site is now live for all iPhone, iPod Touch, Google Android, and select other touchscreen phones. This version will automatically load when you visit the site on one of those devices. Later today, support will be extended to all other mobile devices, including the Wii, DSi, PS3, and PSP. Also rolling out the door later today will be Facebook Connect support for commenting. This means you’ll be able to sign in using your Facebook account so you can bypass inputting a name, email, and Captcha. If you have an OpenID, you’ll be able to use that and receive the same benefits as well.

I’ll edit this post with status updates as everything goes out the door.

~ Stephen

Update:

All new features are live and should be working. If something is not working, please leave a comment to this post.

Whoa wait. WT* is with this post? Caught you off guard huh? I’ll admit writing a post about climate change on a site for a podcast for a music group is kinda odd – but this post is intentional. Why? It proves a point. Climate change affects everyone. It affects the young and old. It affects the smallest of villages and the largest of cities. It affects households and enterprises. It affects you and me.

Sadly, some people opt to ignore climate change because they claim getting involved to do something about it is too hard. News flash: changing a standard light-bulb to a florescent one won’t kill you under normal circumstances. And yes, that’s getting involved. That’s doing something. Even the littlest action possible can make a huge difference.  Once you’re done changing that light bulb, here’s a bunch of other ways to get involved too that’ll take just 5 minutes of your time.

That wasn’t so hard now was it?
