It's been a while since I've done a show. There are a few reasons for this. First, coffee and laptops don't mix. Second, my planned Podcast from the Canadian National Exhibition didn't work out because my iRiver was recording the Line In. I ended up with a bunch of blank MP3 files. Third, I'm working on doing a series of shows about disability issues. The main one is about attendant care. We're working on getting people to send us their experiences with attendant care. If anyone has any experiencess with attendant care services (good or bad) you can send anything you wish to share to max.ehtozed@gmail.com. You don't have to be in Toronto or even Canada. You can remain annonymous or use your name. I won't be using the names of any attendants. Not even the one who completely pissed me off this morning. I'd also like to hear from anyone who deals with a unionized attendant care service or anyone who knows anything about how a union works. Specifically, why is abuse legal just because they have a union behind them?

Today, Max talks about the Canadian National Exhibition, Rock Star: INXS, Big Brother, His Gateway Craptop and his new Dell Inspiron 6000d. As usual, he plays more 3 Dead Trolls In A Baggie. Let's hope I get the HTML tags done properly for this...

1) "Nunavut"
2) Does Gateway Suck?
3) Kyrina's Request (War Of 1812 Song)
4) The Canadian National Exhibition
5) Vote at Podcast Alley... for someone else (e.g. The Catfish Show, The Zedcast, Oka-Zoo, etc)
6) "Home Stereo Type System" Commercial
7) The Movie Shoot In My Neighbourhood ("The Return Of Zoom")
8) My new iRiver and other ramblings
8) Stuff I could be talking about
9) Reality TV (Rock Star: INXS and Big Brother)
10) "How To Buy A Computer"

From the same people who brought you such crap as "Happy C-Eh-N-Eh-D-Eh D-Eh!" comes this "Steaming Pile Of Skit". After getting permission from Wes Borg, Max plays three bits from "Three Dead Trolls In A Baggie" (http://www.deadtroll.com). Show Notes: 1) "I Am Canadian" 2) Max rambles about iTunes 4.9 3) "Mom's Coming To My House" 4) More rambling 5) "The Toronto Song" Sorry for making such crappy Podcasts.

It took a while, but I've finally finished my first Podcast. The big Canada Day episode. After introducing the show, I thought I'd describe an old photo album I found that contains newspaper clippings and photos about the very first Flag Day in Oakville, Ontario. Warning: Do not listen to this Podcast while operating heavy equipment as it may cause drowsiness.

Tomorrow is Canada Day and since this Podcast is going to be called "Eh! To Zed", I guess I should do my first show tomorrow. Not that I have any idea what to do yet. And since I haven't done a show yet, who would be reading this? I'd be surprised if anyone is looking forward to my first episode.

Just to get an audio file up on my new Libsyn account, I've uploaded a test Podcast I made a while ago.
