Happy Birthday to Me!

And here's a present for you, reader: Not only will I publish a story here every Friday, I'll also post an audio version of myself reading that story. D and I really enjoyed listening to audio books during our road trip this past summer, and I didn't take a full year of voice acting lessons for nothing.

These audio segments should be available as a podcast on iTunes. As a test, this very post includes a clip of me reading the first paragraph of a classic science fiction novel which you may recognize.

UPDATE: Okay, let's try this again. Flash audio player below, podcast-friendly enclosure link in a separate post to follow...









Let me know if you have any problems downloading the audio. And yes, I will get a better microphone. Soon.

"Let me know if you have any problems downloading the audio."

When I look at the feed, it has a link to an MP3 file. But I don't think that link appears when I look at the blog post as it's rendered on blogspot; it talks about audio, but there's no obvious way to get at the audio. This reminds us that computers are dumb.

Yeah, I'm going to mess around with FeedBurner tomorrow. I know I can embed a Flash audio player in the HTML, but the enclosure link seems to be overriding the post body when Blogger generates the RSS feed. I'll post the audio separately if necessary.
