Limi, what a great motivator you are ;o)
No seriously... I actually am the other way round when it gets to
reading stuff. I hate reading stuff on the Internet, I have to stare at
a computer screen all day long anyways (as most others here I guess, but
my eyes are nowhere near as good as my ears). I love listening to
podcasts on my daily commute, and I especially love podcasts that are no
longer than 10 minutes (ok apart from some scientific ones that take
over an hour... but that's different, it's science).
So for me to produce a podcast would actually be fun and I think it
would help me deal with the fact that I don't enjoy writing stuff too
much. For me the news are just going to be the aides for the podcast,
but I will make sure they are thorough enough to come across as the main
thing.
I think aiming low might actually be the first step towards a still
birth, I'd rather go down with bells and whistles... at least I gave it
a shot then, and a proper one too.
Anyhow, we'll see when I find the time but I'm very motivated and will
certainly manage to produce something by next week.
Cheers for the tips!
Christian
