Matt and I finally got our act together to start taping episodes of Kill The Desktop. We taped our first episode last Saturday and it came out rather well considering it was our first run at it. If you like technology, I would highly encourage you to check it out.

Taken from our site: “Kill The Desktop is an audio podcast devoted to web focused tech news. Join your hosts, Matt Morton and Chris Stewart, each week as they discuss these topics.”

Wow! I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the upcoming podcast “Kill The Desktop” from myself and Matt Morton. Frankly, I’m insanely excited to get started and record a few episodes. We’ve been working on getting a list of topics together and trying to figure out the media delivery. As Matt says we always have great conversations about technology and generally provide insight on both sides of the fence. Yet, it’s not as geeky as you might expect. We are geeks, no doubt, but not the Star Trek type. More of your young, hip, technology proven types. So, prepare yourself, we’ll be hitting iTunes by September!

I’m hearing the term “New Media” a lot these days to describe the small and agile firms online. When I think of New Media I think of podcasting or even better; video podcasting. How awesome it would be to get involved in that. I see the consumer benefits everyday and really think there is a HUGE market for this. I personally listen to half a dozen podcasts every week and would be happy to pay for these subscriptions on a monthly basis. Thankfully today they’re all free but I get enough out of them to pay small monthly fees.

Garageband, which comes on your new OS X system, gives you the tools needed to record, edit, and publish podcasts. If only I had the radio personality to do such a thing… I’d join the “New Media” revolution myself.  Maybe there are groups in Richmond trying to do similar.  Anyone, anyone?

It’s quite exciting to see where this technology will go and how it will change the media delivery of tomorrow. No longer are you bound to your television for quality entertainment on a weekly basis. I’m downloading the latest episode of my favorite podcast right now through iTunes which I’ll listen to tomorrow at work on my iPod.  Good stuff.
