I'm an independent musician / songwriter from Deptford, NJ (South
Jersey).

I'm getting ready to release a CD called "Rittenhouse Square" on
September 15. I'll be creating a series of podcasts discussing the CD
and how the songs were written and recorded.

The music is mostly acoustic/electric pop rock influenced by the Beatles, XTC, Squeeze, Michael Penn, etc.

I posted the songs up on the Podsafe Music Network at Neall Alcott on PMN.

Please give a listen and if you like any of them, please consider
playing them on your podcast. I'll record an ID for your show and put a
link on my websites too if you want.

Thanks!
Neall

FYI All -

BlueJersey.com now has a weekly show on BlogTalkRadio.  Every Saturday morning at 10:30 AM BlueJersey bloggers get together for a roundtable discussion of the week in Jersey politics.  BlueJersey now has a blogger with press credentials in the staehouse - Jay Lassiter - so Jay is able to give a unique perspective on Nj politics

The show is also available as a podcast through BlueJersey's Podcast feed, so if you want a liberal/progressive view of NJ politics, check it out.

Yes folks, it's late notice once again, but the NJPA will have a table
at the Trenton Computer Festival this year. So this Saturday and
Sunday, April 28 and 29, come on down to The College of New Jersey in
Ewing, NJ and say hello, man the table for a bit, and help get the
NJPA back in the groove.

Hope to see you there!

Chris

High praise from anyone. Please pass my thanks on to Steve... or I'll
talk to him this weekend.

I dug up a couple of listings on eBay

These are the iRivers that have an option for switching to an External
Mic for recording. (700 and 800 series)

Thanks to Vinny as well, I'd not heard ofa Zoom before, I need to
check that one out.

Mark-

I use the Zoom H4. It has built-in stereo mics which I use for
recording performances, but it also has 2 hybrid mic jacks (1/4 inch
or XLR) for input. I use an Audio-Technica headset mic or an MCA SP1
condenser mic. It has onboard phantom power (24 or 48v) and uses 2 AA
batteries (4 hours/ 2 hours with phantom power running) or the
included AC adaptor.

It also has a clip for mounting on a camera tripod, a windscreen, and
records to up to 2GB SD cards. I get about 3 hours of .wav and 2 days
of .mp3, I think. (NO podcaster records to mp3, right?)

I want to give a special thank you to Brad P. of NJ for coming to the
ACGNJ meeting and giving a great presentation.  To quote my son (16
years old) who attended with me "I brought my gameboy but I never
played it."  That is saying something special for the meeting he
usually brings it out sometime during the meeting.  Good Job Brad.

Now the equipment question.  Brad said he used a MP3 player (iRiver?)
to do in the field recordings.  I have been doing a search for players
that record but I am getting frustrated.  So may of the players record
with a built in Mic, and never mention a input for an external mic. I
want to get my son started.  Do you all have any recommendations on
MP3 players for in the field work?

Thanks for your help in advance.
Mark

Marty,
I'm happy you and your group enjoyed my TechBuilder article. Chris, who was
kind enough to send the email below, is more highly qualified than I to
speak on podcasting. I'm thinking he might know someone close to Cherry
Hill, as well.

If the schedule allows, I'd be happy to speak to your group sometime in the
future. Keep in touch. -Andy

Hi Andy,

I'd love to speak with you about podcasting, but I've been kind of out of
the scene for a few months, what with work and personal issues taking over.
I can provide info on vidcasting, if you're interested in that. Otherwise, I
can give you a couple of members of the NJPA to speak with who will be great
for your article. They are:

Lynette Young
SCRAPcast
scrapcast@...

Brad Pendergraph
Whole Lot of Nonsense Podcast
wholelotofnonsense@...

and of course, our resident audio gadget geek,
Harold Gilchrist
harold.gilchrist@...

Good luck with your article.

Sincerely,

Chris Cavallari
NJ Podcasters Association

Hi Andy,

Our user group, the PC User Group of South Jersey, is lining up speakers for
our next several monthly meetings.  Several of our members have requested
information on RSS and podcasting.

I discovered your article on these topics on the Techbuilder website and I'd
like to invite you to be our guest speaker at one of our upcoming meetings.
(http://techbuilder.org/article/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=5T5C4OAQOOBOEQS
NDLRSKH0CJUNN2JVN?articleId=197006775&printableArticle=true)

We have about 140 members and about half attend most of our monthly
meetings, which are held on the second Monday evening of each month.  Our
group's web site is www.pcugsj.org. It is currently undergoing a major face
lift. Directions to our meeting location and a map of the area are provided
on the web site.

We are currently seeking speakers for our May 14th and July 9th meetings.
Would either of those dates work for you?

Please feel free to contact me by email or phone (856-266-7331).

Regards,
Marty Levin, Vice President
PC User Group of South Jersey

I never received word from them. Everytime I emailed, I got a "We'll
get back to you." So, as far as I know, it's a no go this year. We can
try again next year.

Rob,

It's on my calendar, but I have to check with Chris to see if he got
confirmation from TCF that we have space. When I spoke to him last, he
hadn't heard back that we were confirmed. I'll see him on Friday, at
my presentation to ACGNJ.

Still having a booth at the TCF this year?

--*Rob

Owing to the ice storm, the ACGNJ group logically cancelled their 3/16
meeting. My presentation's been rescheduled for 4/20... keep the jokes
to yourself.

The topic, you ask?

Brad will be giving a talk entitled "PodCasting. It's a big world out
there... do you want to be part of it?" to ACGNJ, the Amateur Computer
Group of NJ, http://www.acgnj.org. This talk is intended to be an
overview of PodCasting and an introduction to the technical aspects of
PodCasting.

Please feel free to send me your business cards, stickers,
swag... or show up and bring your stuff and undying love and affection
and support for me. If you can't make it, I'll make sure it gets there
with me.

Because of the weather and ACGNJ's concern for everyone's safety.  We
are canceling the meeting tonight and hopefully Brad will be able to
present next month.

Mark

Hi Folks,

If you were planning on attending Brad P.'s presentation to the ACGNJ
this evening, it has been postponed. We'll post more information as it
becomes available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Chris

Chris -
The ACGNJ meeting tonight is canceled on account of snow.  I have informed Brad
about
the news.  I tried to post on POD Casters site with no luck.  We would like to
re-schedule the presentation on a night when there is no snow threat.  I will
work it
out with Brad.

Mark
