These are my inner-most thoughts, mostly about comedy and technology, but also occasionally other non-sequitur, tangential rants. Well OK, maybe these aren't my INNER-most thoughts. Those are mostly about dancers and Swedes, and would probably get me locked up if they ever became public ... but some hopefully interesting thoughts, anyways.

I intend to reserve "lazy" audio blogging for things I would not actually write about otherwise. For a variety of reasons I don't feel like going into, typing is mildly uncomfortable for me. So there's always this little evaluation in my head about whether a particular topic is worth it.
As for volunteer transcription ... look at Kelli's blog. The LiveJournal audio blog system allows people other than the blogger to transcribe the clip. Cool! Audioblogger.com is more bare bones.
Do feel free, my dear reader, to transcribe my audio blogs into the comments attached to them. (Yeah right.)
Murray liked this quote, "Create something interesting rather than begging the world to find you interesting in and of yourself."
How about this rephrase ...
"Show the world the assets you have to give and people will respond with what they have to offer in return. Show the world your needs and people will keep their treasures to themselves."

I'll stick with the original. To the point, and simple enough to be re-read in different contexts where each context has its own subtle meaning.
And I did place it on my quotes page.

The audio blog is an interesting "alternative media". I thought I was going to find it annoying, but in many ways it was refreshingly easier for me to sit back and stare at the ceiling than scanning through written text--something I do for so many hours every day that my eyes appreciated the break.
I'm sure the downside is that if you rely too much on it, you effectively stop writing useful material (ie. text) that the search engines use to index and rank your site. I'm curious about this service you mentioned where some volunteer would be willing to type up your ramblings.
I had a feeling that part of your success was, as you mentioned, breaking your material up into individual autonomous web sites. I'd recently heard about having search terms in the actual domain name, but your confirmation was good to hear.
One parting comment: I liked a particular quote from this audioblog:
"Create something interesting rather than begging the world to find you interesting in and of yourself."
That is such a profound statement taken in even broader contexts: as an artist, as an individual (ie. in the dating scene), etc. That might find its way onto my quotes page...
My friends Kelli and Bevin are now audio blogging. Well I certainly can't let a couple of lesbo types out nerd me. So here's my first offering....

I think you should audio blog any ole' time and VIDEO blog when you are drunk. Or maybe video blog any ole' time. Or maybe just video and send it to me. (get your mind out of the gutter, I didn't say anything sexual!)
