Whatever type of digital camera Drew needs, I don't know enough about all the possibilities, so.......whatever he needs to do the work he already does.....lets make that happen.

Media station at Media Island so folks can work on and upload all this stuff I don't really understand yet and get on OlyBlog and elsewhere.

I personally want to learn more about podcasting and I also want to know how to put audio clips on my blog here.

I want to learn how to use the Audacity program I have, or at least play around with it enough to know if it is not what I want to be doing at this time.

I need new printer ink, memory, pair of cheap headphones, headset for landline and cell phones, a good basic digital camera, and a portable tape recorder. And/or maybe a video recorder. USB drives oh and a laptop with wifi.

Along with all the needed cords, cables, microphones, batteries, film, gear bags, and cyborg fashion. I definitely need a headlamp also. (Headlamp needed for when I finally discover The FLOD Cave of Elder Caimans.)

Free Geek.

Check out Oly Free Geek. They offer free rebuilt computers and accessories to low-income people.

[Shameless plug:] Everyone should also consider taking used computers and parts to Free Geek.  They rebuild what they can, and recycle the rest for money.  This helps low-income people have access to computer technology, and also helps the environment!

Hey Phil

I hopped onto the site and looked a bit, but do you happen to know the folks who do it? I'm no expert ( believe me ) but I did build my computer, and it's still running 3 years later, with a mobo and video card upgrade inbetween. I've been looking for my niche in volunteering and was thinking of giving them a call, but if you know them I'd feel better about sticking my neck out.

Yeah.

One of our staff is one of Free Geeks' most active volunteers. (You can find a really great photo here.  If you meet him, make sure to compliment him on the outfit!)  Also, the board president of free geek is a fellow that I used to go to church with.  He's a great guy.

By the way, Norm, (warning: another shameless plug ahead!) if you are looking to volunteer... I might happen to know of, or be acquainted with, or actually be a totally willing slave to, or be really a shameless recruiter for, a particular organization that has a need for volunteers...

I've actually

been thinking of talking with you and Meta...just taking that first step I suppose. I'll talk with you tonight.
