The future of Audioboo is uncertain. Like most online spaces. But Audioboo isn’t like most online spaces. This page of blurted sentiment and opinion will probably seem a bit much to some. Perhaps I’m over reacting because something I deeply care about is threatened. I first blogged about Audioboo four years ago, not long after it’s launch. I […]
Listen! Firstly I have to thank the soundsmith @MCFontaine for sending me this mashup created from a few of my audio recordings on Audioboo. I love what he has done and am inspired to one day.. perhaps.. trawl through the (aprox) 83 hours of Audioboo’s I’ve done in the last two years. Prior to finding the Audioboo iPhone […]
I’d love to have taken the time to have written my thanks to Bill Cammack regarding his job as editor on the recent UNHCR Podcast I have been working on but now I have seen his blogging skills in full swing.. I am glad i stuck with a brief video and didn’t embarrass myself. [Seesmic […]

Need more bathroom bass?
Before i invested in a bluetooth stereo speaker my hotel sound system looked like this. The strategically positioned glasses boosted the bass and volume so I could hear my music and podcasts in the shower.
That said. I’m happier now.
My Ventile Jacket
I picked this jacket up from Snowsled Clothing almost 4 years ago and I Love it more than ever.
Ventile, a tightly woven cotton fabric was invented in Manchester during the 30’s. It’s breathable, waterproof and insulating. There are so many reasons to love Ventile it makes it hard for me to appreciate many modern synthetic fabrics. It’s only their lightweight properties that attract me.
The fact Ventile is so soft and quiet is one of my favourite features. When out in the woods and fields, I’m sure i’d see less wildlife if the rustle of a synthetic jacket accompanied me.
One of it’s downsides is although there has been a revival in the usage of Ventile in the Bushcraft community, it’s still hard to come by.
If you should come across it, please give it a try. You may be pleasantly surprised how well this 80 year old technology stands the test of time.
