Oh, podcasting, how I once hated you.
I remember using Garageband to make a podcast at Fredonia and I just really didn't not enjoy it. Mostly because I couldn't come up with anything good to talk about - I think I read an article from Wikipedia. This one was much better (yay for educational ideas) and I'm really happy I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro to use.
I've previously used iMovie to make a recital DVD in a previous tech course. The end product was pretty exciting to say that I did it and burn it to DVDs, however I just remember what a pain in the ass it was. Mainly because of how we recorded the audio, we had to match it with the video we took from the camera. That was just awful.
Despite my computer being newer and pretty decent, I don't think it had the RAM necessary to fully use Adobe to what it could be used. My preview video lagged behind so much compared to the audio, but once I exported it, it was fine. Except I didn't save it to the correct iTunes format that would keep it under 1gb. Now I'm waiting for it to export... again. I am not patient enough for this!
I really enjoyed this project, though.
Go Sabres!

This Past Week
I feel like I've had to catch up on so much - my mind was definitely on Spring Break the week before it since I wasn't able to be at class (and I knew ahead of time) and I was going to NYC that weekend.
But now that I've procrastinated everything between this class and research, I've realized it wasn't too much, thankfully!
I really like using Google Docs. I think I'm going to start to bring some of my Microsoft Office documents into Google Docs because there are plenty of times when I could work on them, but I'm not at my computer. Despite knowing I can make everything have a completely private setting though, I still don't trust some documents to be on the internet instead of just my computer.
Google Sites is not the most user-friendly site to use, in my opinion. Then again, every website making tool tends to have a slight learning curve. I started using Wordpress this summer at the recommendation of somebody and thought it was the hardest thing to learn in the world. I've gotten the hang of it since, but I know I'm not even close to knowing a quarter of what Wordpress can really do. It works perfectly for just my use, which is nice... but I think I need to pick up a Wordpress for Dummies book, or something!
