I’ve made it 2 for 2 with podcast production with another episode of the Open Monologue podcast. I did refer to it as the NEW podcast last week, but when I loaded it in iTunes the title for the podcast was the same as this blog. Who am I to argue with iTunes.
This time I elaborate on a tweet I made earlier today – “Anyone who works with technology and still trusts it is a fool”. This was an observation made to me by Dr. Barry Brown of the University of Saskatchewan after I told him that the hard drive that contained my M.Ed. project had failed in a grandiose and horrible way. In the podcast, I elaborate on the story. I also play some great music by Mykleanthony.

If you have any stories of massive tech failure, leave a comment. We feel your pain.
I fortunately have no such story of my own tragedy, but I had a creative writing instructor in university who lost her entire novel when her hard drive crashed. This was in the days when you’re only way to back up was on floppy discs.
Ouch – OK, my experience wasn’t as bad as that. Hearing about someone who had it worse somehow makes me feel better.
