Ending with a bit of a whimper

Nathan Clark — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 04:54:31 +0000

Whimpering, chiefly from my newborn, is a defining sound in my life. Right now, lying in bed, I’ve been listening to her steady sounds for hours. No excuse is ever brilliant, but I have great (in my estimation) interviews yet unposted, largely owning to the new and darling whimpered in my life.

Though this month is ending with it’s own sort of whimper, I think perhaps it’s a tribute to my rekindled listening skills than I’m paying attention to the right people and places instead of to the posting of the interviews. They will get posted, but not until the right time is back.

In the meantime, tomorrow the next month project will be revealed. That, of course, means I’ll have to settle on which of the three possible ideas I go with. Decisions, decisions.

The art of crafting

Great people with great interviews

Nathan Clark — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:00:14 +0000

I have some great interviews to get posted. This month I’ve had the privilege of listening to friends, family and coworkers and without exception they have been wonderful.

I’m not sure what project I can undertake next month that will live up to this project’s standard, but I have a week to figure that out. Ideas, as always, are welcome!

Ignominy of ignorance

Nathan Clark — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:56:00 +0000

I’m not particularly good with the audio editing. My interview today with my kids requires a bit of work, which should’ve been expected with two loud and ever-moving children involved. But a lack of software knowledge combined with a lack of experience has led me to a place of slow progress.

Unfamiliar territory, both in audio editing land and in finding progress at a slow pace.

Listening to my mother-in-law

Nathan Clark — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:17:59 +0000

Interview with Carol Dahlquist, child life specialist at All Children’s Hospital and my mother-in-law. (And yes, that’s my daughter, she’s holding!)
