If you have read Kim’s tale of computer woe, you know we are looking for a new computer. I don’t want to launch a holy war of PC vs Apple, but what about a Mac Mini? I don’t know much about Apple hardware. The main requirements that we have are able to do our podcasts (good quality sound in/out, edit 1 - 2 hours audio without bogging down, affordable software to do so) play some games (good video card… Sims 2 for Fi and ? for me I like FPS). I can get a Dell for about the same price (I get a discount) and I’m certified with Dell equipment, so I know it can do what I want and I know I can upgrade. The thing is, I’m pretty sure the Mini can’t be upgraded (except for memory?) … I ’spose if I want an upgradable Mac I gotta go with the G5 which starts at USD$1300. Too much when compared to PCs. Any suggestions?

Oct 9, 2005. This is a special edition mini-kid friendly podcast made by and for kids (or adults who may wonder how our rambling chat sensibilities convey to
podcasting urchins). Or, alternately, if you like stories about picking
up dead squirrels.

Oct 9, 2005. Another spooktacular episode of Shakespeare Souffle here. This time, turn up the volume to listen as a mellow but increasingly giggly Kim
and Ken regal you with details of theie rare night out involving: the
history of rock-n-roll, the Swedish band Dungen, skeevy things in
bathrooms and parks, the tale of our cursed band, and hideous maiming
escalator moments we have witnessed. Basically as rambly as ever and
more chock full of NOT FAMILY/WORK FRIENDLY type language and details
than ever before. But in the end, we redeem ourselves by interviewing
Jean and Zoe, a mother-daughter duo who recently protested the war in
DC and who visited to share some of their experiences anti-war chants
and favorite signs. If you can’t avoid us, join us. We dig feedback of
all natures too you know. Websites which tell you more about the
places/people we mention: codepink4peace.com, washingtonpost.com,
raginggrannies.com. Also, the podcast we envied for being so regular
and together and daggone funny, Chub Creek at chubcreek.com. Oh, and
the podcast we totally meant to talk about and will talk about next
time, Quirky Nomads at quirkynomads.com.
