Candid photos from my day-to-day life in Chicago and elsewhere, courtesy of Flickr.com. RSS-enabled. I am also now maintaining a separate page there as well, tracking just my favorite images from other photographers.

[social bookmarks]
Each day I post 5 to 15 links online to other interesting things I've found on the web, over at my account at del.icio.us. A good option for those who want to find out what in the general culture interests me these days, in that I rarely post outside links here at my personal site. RSS-enabled.

[randommedia] is a semi-regular podcast I have been producing since spring 2005, using a Blogger webpage and a free service called Audioblogger.com; recordings are made from my cellphone, and because of technical limitations are never more than five minutes in length. I use the podcast mostly to record interesting small conversations during random moments in my life; interviews with local scenesters, reports from artistic events, drunken conversations with friends at parties and the like. Episodes are originally posted in real time to my Blogger webpage, then reposted to this site later for archival purposes; the MP3 tracks found here have already been edited in iTunes and contain metadata and photos about the episode, while the tracks at the Blogger page do not. Both sites have podcast-friendly web feeds for just the audio reports; here is the one for Blogger and here is the one for this site. (To use, right-click on the link and choose "Copy Link to Clipboard;" then paste the link into the "add feed" window of your favorite podcast software or feed reader.)

This episode: Part 2 of 5 of my report from the "City of Destiny" literary event at Quimby's Bookstore, Wicker Park, Chicago, organized and hosted by Katherine Hodges. Here: a monologue recorded during a smoke break at the event, about the podcasts I've been recently getting into, why I've been getting into them, and what I hope to achieve with this new podcast of my own.
