Yet another blog

Okay, I consider myself a blogger, but according to some people, a real blogger is a person who updates their blog at least once a day, if not more than once a day. If that’s the case, well, I don’t have time to do that. I do have time to occasionally enter a post into my blog or one of my blogs on a regular basis, maybe once a week or so. Lately, I haven’t been motivated at all to write anything for any of my blogs, until recently.

I have been listening to a lot of podcasts lately, making use of my expensive video ipod I purchased a few years ago. Now, I am eager to get the new itouch, but I don’t think that will be happening anytime soon.

I even cancelled my XM radio, since it was too expensive, I couldn’t afford it and all the other services we have, such as cell phones, satellite tv, high-speed internet and the basic utilities… so XM radio had to go. I’m surprised, I really don’t miss it, since I find that I don’t even have time to listen to all of the podcasts on my ipod anyway. So, I was wasting my time listening to the garbage they called a radio show featuring Opie and Andy. Actually it’s Opie and Anthony and Lil’ Jimmy Norton along with… all of the pests, and poor Stalker Patty. Anyway, I sort of miss that show, but that’s too bad for them… I’ve moved on.

This new blog of mine was actually named by my daughter. She’s only 3. It all started when I was wearing my Geek Squad t-shirt. I told her that it said Geek Squad, and she said Squeak Squad, ever since then she says, “Daddy, you are wearing your squeak squad shirt.” So the name stuck. I also was influenced by listening to a podcast where the name of the blog was geekdaddy or something like that.

I will try to cover tech related items on this blog. My other blogs, including Ramblings of a Small Town Kid, is a continuation of my old newspaper column I had. The other blogs are specific, such as one on Net Neutrality, and the program of study for my masters degree, which is Instructional Design and Technology. I also have a blog about issues related to the University of North Dakota and hockey. I have one more blog that is work related and that is one I set up for people to view after a presentation at a conference. I don’t think many people viewed it, but I think that might change after this year when (or I should say if I present). I think more people will go to check out the blog to download the information if nothing else. I will add some links and include the presentation for people to use.

So, now you know what this blog will be about.

I think I will try to maintain all of my blogs, or at least this one and my more personal one, but I think blogging is an art that some people are good at and others… not so good. I’m not sure about myself, I would like to find out from anyone who reads this.
