I'm going to miss you.

Getting out of East Lansing is going to be nice, but I'm going to be leaving a few things behind, of course I'll be able to come back to them when I get back, but I'm going to miss them. First, the project I've been working on all summer Michigan State's Campus Wide Podcasting Initiative, I've basically lived in 1215 Engineering all summer. Back in the fall of 2005, WKAR brought together all of it's student employees, for a round table type sit down to discuss new technology. By chance the previous night I had been fooling around with podcasting and my 3g iPod. So I brought the idea of podcasting with me to the meeting. Following some research done by the WKAR staff, They came back to me in the spring asked if I wanted to join the project, I said yes. During the spring we rolled out a handful of test iPod to three different classes. We had success and learned quite a bit about iTunes, iPods, XML and the different ways to distribute content. At times it's been overwhelming but I can say it's been a great job, and I'll be back to it in December. Though I only come to the WDBM-FM, 'The Impact" once a week it's been probably the best decision in my life to join MSU student radio. The real world experience with Scott's Studios is key. But the chance to be around music like this and experiencing how a real station works, is amazing. Plus I get to hang out with some really awesome people. But at least for a semester, it's time for change.
