(PS I also liked the one on the NECC handouts too!) I just did my first 'spring cleaning' of podcasts, I just can't work through all the old ones on my iPod to listen to some of the more recent stuff. Despite Smart Playlists I can't seem to get a good way to thread my podcasts so I have to start 'throwing' them out.

I thought it was just me. As a blog newbie, I didn't want to state what I felt was the obvious, but where does the time go? So much time is taken to write a blog, much less reading blogs and listening to other’s podcasts, but I have grown so much by making that time to read other’s that I have to be very selective. And it takes time to be selective, too! There is so much information out there in blogs/podcasts; you have to not read some just to be able to read some. OK, now go back and re-read that sentence as it actually makes sense, well, maybe only to me. One of my first correspondences to Steve was about how time consuming the creation of a blog can be and where did he find time to do it? It does get better later as far as time management goes, but with the explosion of blogging and podcasts, information is even more omnipresent. As Mick sings, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes well you might find, you get what you need." Keep trying. I’m glad someone said this. I thought it was just me.
