For far too long I’ve not really blogged (http:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamJPurcell<\/a> aside).\u00c2\u00a0 That’s made me feel a little guilty.\u00c2\u00a0 Not because I think anyone else is disappointed (I doubt anyone has really noticed!) but because I find it interesting to look back at what I was thinking and doing, months or years later.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I wondered if I should just leave this blog as a list of podcast entries.\u00c2\u00a0 Should I be pushing the latest podcast down the page because of my ramblings? I’ve come to the conclusion – yes, why not? Most people seem to use iTunes to download the podcast (based on the Apache web server logs) and I suspect the majority of the others access it via the RSS Feed (http:\/\/blog.staggeringstories.net\/?feed=rss2&cat=13<\/a>).\u00c2\u00a0 I shouldn’t use the podcast as an excuse not to blog!\u00c2\u00a0 In fact it should be my inspiration.<\/p>\n

When I listen back to some of our podcasts (especially if I’m editing that one) I, inevitably, think of all the things I intended to say but forgot or things I should have said but it just didn’t occur to me at the time.\u00c2\u00a0 Isn’t a blog the perfect opportunity for me to redress that?\u00c2\u00a0 No, I’m not expecting listeners to come here to get my personal podcast errata.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not a podcast patching service! Think of it as a DVD extra (probably the type you get on rubbish barebones DVDs, like a pointless cast bio that nobody ever looks at!)<\/p>\n

Who knows, perhaps it might even spawn a little discussion or two along the way. \u00c2\u00a0 Maybe my podcast compadres might even be inspired to do the same, from time to time.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll see (will I even keep it up this time?!)<\/p>\n

This entry was a bit of a NO-OP to start with but I hope to shortly talk a bit about the new Doctor Who companion (as to be played by Karen Gillan – character name currently unknown!), Ashes to Ashes and my thoughts on watching Star Trek: The Original Series from a newbies point of view.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll see where it goes from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
