BogCast #01 (06-Dec-2005)

I'm back... yesterday was a very good day recording! It was fun, and we were entertaining ourselves making it together. To begin with we were going to record it in the 'bog' ... after all it is a bogcast, but we ditched that idea because it was a bit cold and too small to use as a recording studio. Before we made the bogcast we made a list of things to do and to talk about on our show. Not all of the things on the list were done, but it was our first time, and we had a good laugh. If you want to listen to our BOGCAST you can either listen to it using the playerbox below or you can download the file to your own computer. If you like it you can send me and email and tell me what you liked about it, and maybe some other ideas about what you want us to do on our show. Below you can see a list of some of stuff we did in our bogcast...

da EDITOR: "...below we have offered a number of ways you can listen to our 'bogcast'. Either right click to download the file at 128kbps (recommended) or 64kbps (for those bandwidth sensitive folks) or you can use the 'PicklePlayer' to stream the audio directly (for those diskspace sensitive folks). The 64kbps version is a bit like podcasting from a tin-can! As for what RSS & XML and all that stuff is... erm... that's something to research for next week . Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did bogcasting..."

3am & Exhausted!

da EDITOR: "...ouch it's late! Maximoose crashed long ago. Fell asleep reading his Doctor Who annual on the sofa many hours ago. Been a very long day, setting up, recording, reviewing and editing his first podcas... oooops! BOGCAST rather! I promised him I'd get it uploaded tonight ready for him to check out in the mornin'... hence me still being here at 3am.... need sleep.... but all told a good day... and guess what? It worked. The finished edit was just as good if not better than we could have imagined... (you can listen yourself over there on the top-right)... tommorow he will be telling you himself all about his day 'in the studio' including notes regarding the content of the bogcast. Until then, this is da EDITOR boggin off to bed..."

Smelly Monkeys

Well, I did say yesterday that I would tell you more about our podcast today. We got the idea after listening to another podcast called SMELLY MONKEYS. It gave us inspiration to do our own podcast. If you have never listened to them, then you should because they're funny. You can click on their logo to take you to their website where you can listen to them and download their previous podcasts. Who are the smelly monkeys you might ask? They are two kids called Simon and Trevor who are 8 years old and their dad who is called Gareth...

da EDITOR: "...many thanks once again to those folks for inspiring us to do this. In the words of another famous entertainer... "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into" ...and you'll see for yourselves how messed up we can make it..."

...They talk about animals, sport, technology, armpits, and all sorts of other interesting stuff as well as playing cool and funny music. They all have lots of fun making it and it’s fun to listen to. Later on today we are going to making our own podcast, which I hope should be good. I’m not sure how it’s going to sound, but we think it will be fun to do our own podcast. See you later…

Legotastic!

Hello again. It's now Sunday, and this weekend I been creative with my Lego whilst my Dad (da EDITOR) has been working on the computer sorting out making this website look good. I made him change the colour to orange as it's my favourite colour. We also have also got a new address for this site so you can visit us here by typing WWW.BOGCAST.CO.UK and it will take you straight to this site. Below you can see some of the Lego models that I have built this weekend.

The one on the left is a spaceship that has a pod coming out of the bottom and its got a pirate flag on top because it's a pirate ship. It also has jets and lasers for defence. The one on the right is a plane with 8 wheels and proper wings. My favourite one is the pirate ship. Most of the time I make spaceships out of Lego but sometimes I make cars, trucks, houses, cranes and other vehicles. I like Lego because I can be creative and make lots of different things. I also like playing with Bionicles. My Dad likes playing with Lego as well…

da EDITOR: "...except for that one evil-brick that likes to lurk in darkened hallways at 3 o’clock in the morning and jam itself into the soft of your foot…”

…and he still has some castlelego from when he was a boy which we play with every now and then. Soon we are hoping to do our first podcast which is going to be exciting and I will tell you more about it tomorrow. If you want to send me an email you can sent it to maximoose@bogcast.co.uk and tell me what you think about my blog. See ya!

It begins!

Maximoose: "Hello! Welcome to my BogBlog! That's me... over there on the left. This blog... (my dad tells me it means 'WebLog' or something) is all about ME!"

da EDITOR: "...I'm his Dad the Editor! It's my job to make sure the uglyone next to me doesn't get too out of control... or wander so far from the bloggin point that you all fall asleep... long live censorship!"

Maximoose: "...I'M not the ugly one!... but the getting out of control bit does happen every now and then. And what does he mean censorship? I wouldn't say anything bad..."

da EDITOR: "... bad? Bad! Just one of your jokes are enough to clear an entire bus of people... whilst it's still moving! I was thinking more of the poor readers sanity rather than any cutting political comme... ah whatever! I'm off to get the dinner going... back to the uglyone...."

Maximoose: "Oi! I said I am not the ugly one. Ha... now he's gone I can tell you all about me. My name is Maximoose... well... actually I'm not quite called Maximoose but I'm not going to say my real name because it's not very good to tell other people on the Internet your personal details, so there! I'm 9 years old and live in England. I'm interested in having a website and doing radioshows... like podcasts... and other things because it is fun and I can learn about technology. This weekend I am going to be recording my first podcast with my dad, so if you want you can listen to us on Saturday. I've got to go now... the chips are burning... Bye!"
