Podcast Topics?

We are now assigned with making a couple of 1-2min podcasts of original content.

I have only listened to a few Podcasts, so I would say I am a bit new to the whole area.

Currently I am listening to  S-Words with Megatokyo’s own Dom, who I believe is an interesting writer of random things…which is kinda what their podcasts are about…

Some topics I am considering for my own:

  • Starting a process, documenting steps and progress:
    • Shadowrun. My church gaming group recently started a campain in this table-top roleplaying game.
    • Revolution Community Service Ministry. That I may be stepping up in leadership and starting back up for our church.
  • Something I am an expert on/conversation about:

I realize that I do have a fair amount of knowledge of many trivial things, many nerdy/geeky things, and some slightly embarassing things like fairies and unicorns. lol. (I lie…I didn’t actually lol cuz I am in lab right now…and typing on these keys is loud enough.)

I need to listen to more podcasts…
any suggestions?

Don’t Make Me Think 2

Read Don’t Make Me Think Ch’s 3-6. Write a post on your blog that summarizes & highlights the key points the author tries to share in these chapters.

Billboard design, users zoom through your pages like its a billboard on the highway. Therefore you have to post inportant information in easy to spot ways. Such as enlarging text, using borders and boxes, grouping like info, and tone down lesser objects. Basically make it obvious what to look at, what is clickable, and what to do on your site.

Be concise. Ok ya this is really smart advice and I admit I sometimes use way to many words to get my point across.
