I am writing an article for a magazine about podcasting and I am curious what everyone is using to record and process their audio.
Personally I use Sonar and Sound Forge and sometimes Acid. But I am curious what other people are doing.
Thanks!

I was talking to my rather young female assistant a few days ago. She is thinking of buying her husband a Harley for Christmas. She told me how she just loved to spend time at the new Harley Davidson super complex on the the edge of town.
I was impressed thinking that I had misjudged her for a girly girl when he was really an aficionado of the V Twin engine and all that goes with it.
That lasted one brief moment, then she said, “They just have the most adorable boots and the cutest tops there.”
I swear I could hear Sonny Barger turning over in his grave. But I just nodded and went on about the business of the day as any discussion of the true meaning of The Motor Company would have been lost on her anyway.
Thank God for the Charlie Brechtel’s of the world. When talking to the "Thunder Press" about his album "Made in the USA, Brechtel said, "Made in the USA" is a bit like a course in American Biker History 101...Yes, class as hard as it is to believe, there once was a time when we had only four gears, no shocks and had to carry three quarts of reclaimed 50 weight just to get down to the local pool hall,"
Now 50 years old and living in Angels Camp California he continues to carry the message of American Motorcyclisms through his albums, his concerts and his internet TV show.
Ok, that is the nasty stuff. Once we got onto the pier the staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The boats were clean and in good working order and the maps and instructions provided were excellent. It is truly an experience not to be missed if you can just get past the entrance.
Once out on the water it is a true feast for the senses. Since the speed limit is five knots for all vessels the only turbulence is that created by the wind. And there are some amazing vessels on the water. Actually make that a plethera of amazing vessels in the harbor. Many of them belong to the rich and famous and are identifiable if one kno ws what one is looking for. One of the most famous is John Wayne's party boats which is still in use by his estate.
Many restaurants line the channel and have access from the water. It is not unusual to see large yachts maneuvering their way to "park" at one of the dining establishments there
Another couple of interesting attractions in the harbor is the world famous wedge for surfing and the giant Catalina Flyer which carries 500 passengers a day between the harbor and Catalina island.
There are not many day a year in that neck of the woods when one would run into bad weather either. And even if one does encounter bad weather most of the units are convertibles, or in Duffy Speak, Surrey tops
The cool thing is that Duffy's go so slow and are so easy to operate that anyone can get the hang of it wih five minutes instruction and five minutes practice Although 5 knots seems awfully slow it really is abou the right speed to see the harbor.
Of course Newport Beach Harbor is famous for its week-long lighted boat parade during the Christmas holidays. The parade originated in 1908 when Venetian gondolier, John Scarpa illuminated eight canoes and his gondola, the humble beginnings of what is now an intense competition, costing thousands of dollars. It was officially sanctioned in 1919. If you can make it down there on that week it is well worth the trip.
It is a trip well worth the time and money for a special occasion and I would highly recomend it.

For some reason the computer cut me off while I was finishing that last post. (Maybe I should take a hint)
I guess my point is this..All things in life are llike broken motorcycle parts You don't want too many or for them to hang around too long.

Some days, every once in a while, but not ofter I hate busted motorcycles. Ususally they give me a reason to live but occasionally, like today, they annoy me. I think it has to do with the so called riding to wrenching ratio. That is to say what percent of time is spent riding and what percent is turning wrenches. I haven't come up with the acceptable number yet but I know I am over the limit!
I guess I brought all three of these topics up because I fine myself over my comforot ratio in all three simulanreously and I find that to be a state of discomfort magnified exponentialyy.
Well, hmm, lets see it is the next day now and I still feel in the mood to coninue this little rant. Speaking of things which are inaccurare and useless-ever tried to actually naviatgagomg from one of those free tourist maps one is given at certain places. I know I may be asking for a lot her, but would a little scale and proportion be to much to ask for even for a piece of advertisin
