Look Out! We've Been Podcasted!
Anyone out there listening to Podcasts? Now that IPods are everywhere, online journals (blogs) are now being converted to MP3 formats so that IPod lovers can download their favorites and take them on the go. "Podcasting" is a way to tell your personal computer to automatically download audio files onto your mp3 player so you can listen at your leisure.
Just recently, I have learned that Walking With Alec has been chosen to be podcasted by Talkr. What is Talkr?
Here's a straight line from the Talkr website:
"Talkr provides a service that allows you to listen to your favorite text-only news sources rather than read them. If you can point us to an RSS feed (a machine-readable version of your favorite blog or news source) we will convert that feed from text to speech. "
If you are Ipod-savvy, or if you just prefer to listen rather than read, you can subscribe to this blog and others at the Talkr website, available at www.talkr.com.
All posts here will now have a link following the text so that would-be readers can listen to posts.
Here's to Podcasting!

OK so maybe I'm overly impressed with things like this (podcasting) but, seeing that you've been blogging for less than a year, and so far managed to accomplish so much (I mean look at the booksales you made!) I am so impressed with the amount of power you've found in your own voices, not only for Alec, but for other special needs kids. This podcasting thing is just another manifestation of the strength other people see in you. Congrats, it'll really add to the number of people you can/will reach!
