It does seem to go like this at times. This is an old phrase that can be used to describe the guy who's never on time, can't it? Okay, maybe the beer behind part was my own invention! I can't really remember. Some days I feel like that. Alright, you caught me, so let me be more truthful: There are some YEARS I feel like that.
Recently I've been very aware of audio communication. Did you check out yesterday's syndication of the beginning episode of X Minus One? I guess 1955 is a bit on the late side. You could, of course, listen at your computer but the whole idea of podcasting is to neatly tuck it into an iPod or mp3 player for later use. Now, there's noise, noise, everywhere!
I'm a beer behind due to the fact everyone is probably playing with Internet video nowadays. The more I try to catch up the behinder I sometimes get. I do provide answers to student exercises by audio though. I'll put a short example here. I made this one earlier today, so the students in the labs can correct their work at their own pace. So, although I'm not exactly state of the art, I am a few years ahead of many of my peers.
