Windows 7 Beta 1 Review
I’ve never done any kind of audio recording or editing that would be publicly heard, so bear with me on this first episode of the podcast.
I’d like to take the podcast and make it a piece of audio every week that discusses some topic that has come up for me in my every day life as a geek. I haven’t planned a roadmap for this, so I’m not quite sure where it’s going to go, or even if it’s going to go.
I’ve been thinking of doing some sort of podcast for a long time now, mostly inspired by podcasts like The Linux Action Show. I don’t have any kind of fancy equipment, just a gaming headset and a version of Audacity to record my stuff. So expect a non-top-notch show, and if time goes on and things get better, maybe I can learn some new stuff and really advance my place in the audio world.
I am recording this with the onboard soundcard, as I don’t think I have a soundcard laying around that I could use for more serious recording. You might here a bit of high-pitched noise, and that’s most likely to do with the way that onboard soundcards work.
In addition to this audio review, which was recorded just about 24 hours after I installed Windows 7 Beta 1, I plan on doing a new post in about a week with my thoughts after using it in regular situations.
All this being said, I hope you like what I have to say, and I promise I’ll do better next time. Use the widget below to listen to it streaming in your browser:

This episode of the Worthless Genius podcast is a change of pace, in an attempt to get the podcast into a format that can hold up week to week. As the first episode was simply a review, this one has more opinion, and more awesome.
New Software
This episode I touch on some new software that I bought recently. I excitedly talk about how I’ll actually be getting a box for a new suite of software.
So, as discussed, I’ll be receiving the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
Also, I discuss going back to school, and what classes I have to look forward to.
News
In the news section, I discuss:
Site Highlight
In the first ever site highlight, I give a tip about a new service called TwitterBump.

I had originally planned on re-recording this, but time dictated me no grace. A more well-rounded episode will be available for next week.
Episode 3 of the Worthless Genius Podcast brings us back to the format that premiered in Episode 2. We have two short news article discussions, and a Site to See. Classes start today for me, so this week’s release schedule may be a little tight. I would like to get into a 10 minute show every Monday, Wednesday and Friday if possible, but we’ll see what time is like. Here’s what we covered today:

In today’s episode, I discuss Linux. I also touch on the polarization of the Linux community on the topic of embracing closed-source, proprietary software, and why it would be a good thing for the community as a whole.
Here are some links to what I talked about today:
This episode marks the first episode recorded in GarageBand, so you should see a drastic improvement in the audio quality. As always, send me some feedback, and let me know what you think, ways that I can improve, or if you think I should start putting music back into the episodes.
