Catholic Geek Podcast
|
Podcaster's Description: A fun Catholic/technology podcast that's anything but geeky (well, most of the time). Hosted by a tech-savvy teenager, this eclectic podcast covers faith, life, tech, and everything in between. Podcaster: John Lamansky Categories: General and Technology Production Status: Episodes: It's episode 21, and today's topics are: my "anti-regurgitation" gluten-free diet, birthday presents, my new cellphone, noise putty, and iTunes. (I recorded this episode on February 22, but am just now getting it out due to podcast hosting problems and general busy-ness.) In episode 19 of the CGP, I discuss Windows Vista and Office 2007, I play my first audio feedback, and I talk about St. John Vianney, my confirmation saint. In this episode, I talk about a mysterious Future Problem Solving Program DVD that I received in the mail, my new podcast recording schedule, my sci-fi story for this year’s FPSP scenario writing competition, the Optimist International essay contest, my internship with a Minnesota software company, more cool XAML stuff, the Disciples with Microphones website [...] No, I'm not talking about the music; I'm talking about a science fiction story I wrote when I was about 10 years old. In this edition of the Catholic Geek Podcast, I read my sci-fi story that placed first in the state of Iowa for the Junior division of the 2002 Future Problem Solving Program Scenario Writing Competition. In episode 16, I mention the new DwM Network ID, I relate why I wasn't able to podcast during my Christmas break, I talk about my experience and technical difficulties at the Iowa 2000 retreat (previously known as Youth 2000), I summarize the big announcements at the MacWorld and Consumer Electronics Show conferences (including the iPhone, Apple TV, Sync, and Windows Home Server), and I play a new version of the CGP promo. In episode 15, I interview my youngest sibling about his success in beating his older brothers (myself included) in Monopoly; I discuss my internship at a Minnesota software company; I talk about the .NET Framework, XAML, and the Windows Presentation Foundation; I discuss the new Digg Podcasts website; I give updates on the Tech News Podcast and Disciples with Microphones website version 4 projects; and I install and open iTunes for the first time ever, live on the show, and give my first impressions. In this episode I talk about the Future Problem Solving Program, Libsyn hosting, podcast filename conventions, and one potential content source for future Catholic Geek podcasts. My mom also chimes in a couple of times during the show. In this episode, I "put to tape" the Uninvited Trick-or-Treaters story that I posted on my blog last Halloween. My siblings also tell a bit about what saints they dressed up as for trick-or-treating.

(Note: this was recorded October 19, 2006, and is just now being published today on November 5 due to issues with my podcast hosting account.) CG#10 - The Death of My Grandpa, the PSAT, Free vs. Paid Podcast Hosting, and How to Survive on Mars (Note: this was recorded October 19, 2006, and is just now being published today on November 5 due to issues with my podcast hosting account.) In this episode, I play another excellent Youth 2000 talk. Today's talk is about the Eucharist and the Mass. Check it out! In episode number 8, I talk about one of my current projects: version 4 of the Disciples with Microphones website. Get the scoop on what's next for the DwM site: have a listen! In this episode, I play three more Youth 2000 talks. They cover everything from Divine Mercy to religious vocations to John Paul II. Give it a listen! Today I talk about drivers' ed, the importance of podcast content quality, the PSAT, Shakespearean literature, and a coming-soon technology podcast that I co-host. In today's episode, I play an awesome talk on the Sacrament of Reconciliation that I recorded at the Iowa Youth 2000 retreat held in January 2006. Check it out! Note: this episode was recorded on September 10, 2006, but I haven't gotten around to publishing it until tonight (September 23). Yep, I'm still here! In episode 2: Castblaster problems, the many and varied definitions of the word "geek," the Vista beta that you can download after all, and the Eagle Eye camp. In the premiere episode we'll take a brief tour of Microsoft Word 2007 using Microsoft's new Office 2007 Beta 2 Test Drive website. New features, new interface, and the demise of Word's random text feature. Hello world! |
