Dear Apple, I don’t know if you have plans to upgrade GarageBand as a podcasting tool or for making a special podcasting tool but I just did a special version of my podcast on how I make my podcast using GarageBand, iTunes, Audacity, etc which might be of use if someone is thinking about what …
Veronica Mars
It sounds like a guilty pleasure, but I have recently fallen for the TV show Veronica Mars on UPN (Tuesdays, 9PM). To hear the description of the show you would think it is a remake of either Nancy Drew or Twin Peaks, neither of which were a favorite of mine. The back story for the …
