Here’s a new RanchoCast, with seven excellent songs inspired by Valentine’s Day. This great set includes my favorite Valentine’s song ever, by Steeplejack, plus great songs by Bill Erikson, Bill Morrissey, the Boss, Joe Ely, Willie Nelson, and a live one by Ryan Adams.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
We’re really getting back into the rock and roll of things tonight. I even did a new RanchoCast. This edition has some great southern rock, with some deep cuts by the Allman Brothers, the Outlaws, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Grinder’s Switch and more.
Rock on.
Here’s another good set for your weekend listening pleasure. Willis Alan Ramsey, Travis Tritt, Slobberbone, Mercury Dime, CDB and more.

I noticed the glitches in the first song, and am looking into it. It could be a problem with the original rip.

Maybe, if it can just stay in business.
Rather than bore you with a long discussion of what Mixcloud is, I think I’ll just show you.

That’s right. An easy, legal way to create and share playlists.
The only tools you need to easily create your own playlists are a free Mixcloud account and a way to combine some MP3s into a single file. There are lots of options for that, but I use and recommend Merge MP3. It’s free, easy and installs on a flash drive so you can take it with you.
In less than 15 minutes, I registered, installed Merge MP3, picked 10 songs, combined them and uploaded our first Mixcloud RanchoCast.
Pretty awesome, if you ask me.

Dave, Mike and I got together for The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #70 this week.
We talked about Dave’s fancy new headset, Mike’s science and film exploits, our recent trip to New Braunfels, the bad-ET behavior of the Palm Pre, Facebook’s snooze-inducing purchase of FriendFeed, the popular mistreatment of RSS, the death of the stand alone RSS reader, microphones, and how to make everything better.
As always, we had lots of good discussion, debate and laughs. Read more details here, or give us a listen by clicking here. I’m the one with the funny accent.
Dave, Mike and I got together for The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #69 this week. Vin Brown was our guest.
We talked about Apple’s ridiculous rejection of Google Voice apps, the pros and cons of the App Store’s walled garden, the death of the download, VOIP options, artist marketing in the new music industry, the new Lifekludger wiki and, my favorite topic of the night, the Kookaburra/Down Under copyright fight. Mike’s second rendition of the Kookaburra song is the highlight of my Skype experience so far.

Dave, Mike and I got together for The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #66 this week. We talked about Dave’s Evernote munging (Dave can make just about anything do just about anything), SuperDuper, Casper, Mike’s work with the Environment Institute and my amazing and completely accidental bee photo. I even had a chance to rant a little about VRM and the so-called semantic web.
We also talked about good company involvement in the social media stream (Topify, Comcast) and blown opportunities (Evernote, Blip.fm).

If you’re into tech, and particularly if you are a developer of a cool app or service that needs a little exposure, drop me a line (see the link in the left hand column) and we’ll see about having you on a future show. Trust me, it’s a good time.
Dave, Mike and I got together for The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #65 this week. We talked about public wi-fi access and licensing, Linux, Tumblr (my review here; my Tumblr page here), Evernote, Read It Later, Linda Thompson’s micro-financing of her new record and more.

Dave and I got together for The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #63 this week. Mike was off doing some sort of real work, so we just talked about him instead of to him. Among the many other topics we covered are Roy Blumenthal’s excellent art, Wikipedia, Twitter, my excellent experience with Microsoft’s Live Writer developer support, the very useful Topify and Pogoplug (my review here).

Dave, Mike and I got together for The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #62 last night. Those guys are super-smart and very interesting. It is absolutely an honor to get to kick topics around with them every couple of weeks. If you don’t already follow them on Twitter, you should do it right now: @dnwallace and @fang.
We talked about the pending death (or perhaps rebirth?) of newspapers, online advertising as a crappy business model, getting major media content on mobile devices, the link economy and my favorite application, Evernote.
