Well with it being the end of October, I made a fateful decision. NaPodPoMo is coming up again in November. I can't believe it is already here again. A year ago, I did this silly thing and it seemed to really be a good move for me. I decided to do it again this year. [...]

I will be participating in the NaPodPoMo for 2010. If you don't know what it is, here is a quick description. For the month of November, I will be publishing a new episode every day. 30 new episodes. The first episode will describe what is going on and how it will run down. From that [...]

Today is the 5th anniversary of something huge in podcasting. 5 years ago today, iTunes 4.9 was released by Apple. It is when they (Apple) included a podcatcher in to the iTunes store. It is also the 5th anniversary of me downloading my first podcast. It was for iPodLounge. The podcast is now defunct. When [...]

Four years ago today, I finally took the advise of three podcasters (all three of whom have podfaded) and got myself an iRiver at the Circuit City (which is also now out of business) that was near my work. I ordered it online and picked it up over my lunch break. Driving around, I recorded [...]

I know I said that I was going to try and do two episodes a month. That was a month ago, and no episodes since. I have been working on some tech issues. It turns out my mixers is kind of fried. Well not kinda, it is really fried. I just realized it after many [...]

About 5 weeks ago I put out a post stating why I wasn't looking forward to the holiday season. I figured I should give an update to that. What I figured would happened didn't. Yes I did have my moments of loneliness. I think that was to be expected, namely when I was around couples [...]

Yes the holiday season has begun. People out getting gifts for their friends and family. I too have been getting things from my family. I have also been thinking about my life (yes for those of you who have read the pure blog posts will see a lot of things happen towards the end of [...]

November 20, 2006 is one of the many days in my life that makes a big mark. It was the day that I took action to change my life. Early that morning my then-wife and I dropped off my daughter at my folks place at 5 in the morning and went to the hospital. By [...]

Sorry folks about the delay. I am not podfading at all. I was planning to record tonight, but some issues came up that is making me delay the show, probably a week or two. I appreciate your patience on my spotty schedule while life has been interesting on my end. Once everything settles down I [...]

For those of you long time followers to the site will remember back on December 21, 2006 I had a post like this. That was the day I broke 10,000 downloads. Well yesterday I had another milestone in the same vein. On Thursday August 28, I broke the next milestone in download numbers. While it [...]

I will mention this shirt on episode 107, but I wanted it to be out there before I release the episode. TWO of you have contacted me about it, and I have already made my purchase. EDIT I forgot to mention the short on episode 107. I shouldn't do shows at 3:30 in the morning. [...]

Ok I am not sure I have mentioned this on the show, but my sister has been pregnant for a while now. Yesterday I got the news that my Nephew was born! An 8 pound red head! Oh it was a good day indeed! My little girl and I are going to head out to [...]

I had an unexpected change that happened in my life. I am trying to cope with it the best I can. I tried to get a friend to do an episode. I somehow didn't get that right, so that is why there hasn't been a show in a while. While all this has been going [...]

After I recorded episode 93 (god, I have that many under my belt?!) I got a magic phone call. I did say in the episode that I would update the site if I did get this call, and I did. There is an offer on the table. I like it for the most part, have [...]

Well, I kinda eluded to the fact something big could be happening really soon. Well it came, and made me it's bitch. The company I have been working for the entire time I have done my show, laid me off today. I am glad I am taking this week off, as I need to regroup [...]

Yes, I made it back to Chicago from Ontario. I am also bringing with me many stories from the trip I hope you will enjoy, also why I couldn't blog while I was down there. Tomorrow (Monday 10/1) I will be putting out the next episode which was a drunkcast with many good friends. I [...]

I just wanted to let you all know I will be bringing the shoutbox back. I miss it. I will do it in probably two weeks, as I will be back from the Expo then and if I get nailed with Spam I can actually do something with it.

I am sorry, but I have been building a swing set for my daughter all weekend. I am only 1/3 of the way done as well! Man alive is there a lot to be done with it and it sucks! I miss the days of when a swingset would take 2 hours to build, not [...]

I am back and thanks for sticking with me as I take a week off. I don't like being sick and last weekend I got nailed hard with something. BARELY INTRO: I have no clue I-Pass is stalking me They are brothers and what? Rain rain go away Battle Zone commute Check the date of [...]

Yes folks it is Sunday afternoon, and I am sicker than a dog. Work tomorrow doesn't look like it will happen and that also means the show hasn't even been recorded. I wish I could, but alas it just isn't going to happen. I will see you all next week.

I have been debating blogging just as a blog, not shownotes. It would be vastly different from what I do on the show. I guess I am wondering if anyone would be interested in it, or if I am doing too much and would just stretch myself too thin. Eh, I don't know. Just thinking [...]

Ok just so you know, when I record, it is on my tower desktop PC. Lately I have been having fan issues. Two days ago, I was trying to do a few things and the computer crashed on me. I heard the Processor is overheating beeps, so I knew I needed a CPU fan soon. [...]

Well, it finally got to me. Several shows have been mentioning the 8 things you don't know about me. Corby from the Twisted Pickle tagged me, so here it goes. 1. Before I moved to Japan, I thought the Chicagoland area was only the city and the northwestern suburbs. It was all I had ever [...]

I so appreciate everyone helping me get to PME. I honestly don't know what to say, but Thanks. Now I want to do something for you all. For anyone who donates $25 I will make a DVD of the following things (if you have already donated, and you want this, just get the total up [...]

Today on Twitter there was a thread going around about things done at weddings. Well I mentioned that I had a Lightsaber battle with my wife at the reception. Proof was requested. So here it is. First here is the picture of me and my wife in a nice posed picture Removed to see if [...]

I have gotten some messages lately that people couldn't get show before episode 39. I have no clue why that happened, but it did. I was still getting downloads of those shows, so I just said the heck with it and created an Archived Shows Page. While I am trying to keep those shows in [...]

Yeah if the title didn't give it away, the show will be a couple of days late, then back on to my regular schedule. I have lots to talk about including little girl's first trip to a daddy-ball game (White Sox) and also my trip to the Indy 500. You can bet there will be [...]

Yes, I am begging for votes. I have entered the Public Radio Quest. For you long time listeners, you will recognize the story. It is the Big Guy story from Episode 31 back in September. I redid the recording as I had only 2 minutes of time, so I had to keep it quick. So [...]

Yep, I am bored.  Nothing to do tonight, as I should be going to bed soon.  But nothing is going on tonight.  Skype is relatively quiet, Second Life is too quiet and there is nothing on TV.  I am so bored I could cry.  I need to find something to do on nights like this, [...]

Yeah, I feel very under the weather.  I wanted to record today, but I just don't think it will happen.  I might get a show out mid-week, but then again, I might just take this week off. I have given myself I think two or three weeks I can take off all year so I [...]

Ok, in the life of the podcast, You remember who helped you start, your first pieces of feedback, and also the day you put out your first show.  Well today was another one of those events.  Breaking the 10,000 downloads.  Yep, I did that today.  So thank you everyone.  I couldn't do it without your [...]

Sorry folks, the week was busy and unproductive.  I have about 15 minutes recorded and the music picked out, but that is pretty much it.  I haven't even listened to what I recorded and it might just be total crap (I was heavily medicated at the time).  I will try and get something out this [...]

Ok I am not sure why this is happening, but the downloads are acting up. I tried to download the show last night, and only got 1:43 of it. Today at work I downloaded it and it took 3 restarts to get it all. Then I tried again at home and the same issue. I [...]

Hey everyone, I am changing my web page again, and am trying to figure out wordpress. Man I need help hahahahaha

Hey everyone, I have some not so good news. Well let me begin at how I planned Episode 31. It was going to be titled Barely and the Bean. I was begging Chad and Amanda (Me and the Bean) to do something to intro the show. I was going to tease something at the end [...]

     Hey everyone, I have some not so good news.  Well let me begin at how I planned Episode 31.  It was going to be titled Barely and the Bean.  I was begging Chad and Amanda (Me and the Bean) to do something to intro the show.  I was going to tease something at the end then go about doing my regular show.  Until the end that is.  Then the BIG announcement.  It was going to be that Mrs. Barely is pregnant and nearly out of the first tri-mester and we had dubbed the unborn Barely, Bean.  That was until today when I got a bad phone call.  Wife called me from work to my work to tell me she needed an emergency ultrasound.  Needless to say I hopped in to my car and drive as fast as I could to get down there.  I got there in just enough time to hear that we had lost the Bean (not Amanda, she is still in North Carolina, ask Chad).  So I am not sure if I will have 31 out on time this week.  It will depend on how I am feeling at the time I record.  I just thought you should know why I might take this week off.
     Oh, one more thing.  I probably won't ever mention this in the show.  Right now I can't talk about it at all.  It is just too hard.  I might just refer to this post.  I do have one request though, please keep me and my wife in your thoughts and/or prayers for the few days.  We will get thought this, but in the here and now, it is rough.

Thanks and see you all soon.  I promise the show will go on :)

Barely & Family

Hey everyone, I just got this today, and it is majorly sweet!  Erika from the GROW podcast made this for me.  She said she didn't like my intro/extro as it didn't give a good lead in to my show, not enough umph so to speak.  I FULLY agree with her!  I got this and I fell in love with it!  Here is my new audio clip!  Thanks Erika!  Now everyone check out her show!  It is great!

Hey everyone, I am working on episode 20 as we speak. I was going to be editing it today, but forgot a cable, so it looks like tonight I will get that going. It is going to be a long episode, so this is your warning. I have over an hour of unedited audio, but [...]
