The comeback
This week was like a dress rehearsal for next week, when I'll be going back to work after a six-week absence. I've been at work once a week this month and have been doing NPR and other work-y things, but on Monday, things go back to semi-normal, except that there is a really small human being added to the mix for us to worry over.
On Monday, I did a very brief NPR All Tech Considered segment that was the fastest I've ever been recorded for them. We did it one take, three minutes, DONE. I'm a little afraid to listen to it because it went so quickly, but I'm going to go on thinking that it was awesome and that there's nothing I could have done better with multiple takes or more time. Please don't correct me on that if I'm wrong. The blog entry that goes with it took considerably more time.
Of course, the other big thing in my world was Apple's iPad announcement. I wrote what I thought was a pretty fun lead-up blog entry about it on rejected names for the device, then I went to work on Wednesday to lead a live chat on Digital Savant. The news was coming fast and furious and by late afternoon my brain felt melted.
I met with my friend Mical to do a Skype video chat with Bobby Bones, whom I've worked with in the past and who has brought us on to help with a new project.
Then I went home and recorded a lengthy Age of Lasers podcast about the iPad with Glark. It was a full, busy day and a bit of a preview of how things might be very soon. I'm also scripting new Trailers Without Pity episodes with Pablo G. and trying to keep up with TV, newspaper articles and RSS feeds. (And e-mail. Always the e-mail.)
Did I mention there's a baby? Diapers, feedings, all that.
So, yes, it's busy, but it's good. Happy, even. Yay for a busy, fulfilling 2010!
