O.k., I don't blog.  I started doing that at Lulu, but dropped off after 
a furious start.  I just don't have time to blog seriously.  It takes me 
forever to type anything.  I'm not likely to add a blog to 
matheteuo.org.  I'm not sure how serious I am about doing a podcast.  I 
would likely start off with a once a week or twice a month release.  Of 
course, I could do an audio version of PitP, which is something I've 
given a fair amount of thought to.  Right now, I could say much for the 
sound quality, but if it's not too bad, it might useful as a gratis 
thing.  I could mention the benefits of purchasing the book.  I've also 
considered putting a few of my sermons in digital audio. 

As far as podcasting goes, I might could do a little cast here and there 
discussing the latest happenings in the Christian libre community, or 
share my views on current trends.  Obviously, I wouldn't expect much of 
an audience. ;-)  It *sounds* like it could be fun though.  We'll see.
