Ham Radio Podclass 2016

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Just a 20 minute recording while driving back to town after looking a couple of cars. I talk about contacts, cars and my upcoming trip to Ohio for a Ham Radio Convention. Fun stuff. -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Warning, Politics talk! Am I the only one that is for Gun Rights and Gay Marriage? In other words, I'm for freedom to do what you want as long as it doesn't effect me and I don't have to pay for it. I go on a bit of a rant about our political system in the USA. It's a bit screwed up, but it is better then any other system ever tried. So lets stick with it. Catch me Later! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn I talk about my decision to go for contact lenses. I've worn glasses most of my life and for the last couple of years, I've worn bifocals and had a separate pair of “computer” glasses, prescription sun glasses and even a pair of cheaters (the reading glasses you get at drug stores). When I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, I forgot my glasses case in the car I was driving. Instead of buying 2 new pairs of glasses, I will go for contacts. I'm thinking with contacts I should be able to get away with just a set of weak cheaters (maybe) for reading small type and then I can wear some cool “normal” sunglasses. I guess I will see if I am able to stick my finger in my eye -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn As you can see from the right hand side of this page, I'm starting an audio blog / podcast that is just free-form. I couldn't stay away from doing a personal podcast. Something where I didn't have rules, I didn't have a schedule and didn't have advertisers. Just plain old podcasting. Hopefully you will get something out of listening to me rant once in a while. You can subscribe in iTunes (or whatever podcatcher) by using this RSS feed address: http://mikedell.com/feed/mike/ It's not the same as any of my other feeds. Starting back at ground zero. *** Even if you do subscribe, please check back to mikedell.com for Audio Boos, Youtube Videos and whatever else *** Catch me later! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Today I talk about the blog post over at Mike Dell's World where I wonder if the word “Podcast” has run is course. I have re-branded this show as an “online radio show” and I am a Broadcaster because of it. Read the post and listen to the show to hear more. I had breakfast this morning with Keven Reeves and a bunch of other geeks at the Traverse City Geek Breakfast. It was a great time! I played some of Kevin's old music (from 2005 and 2006) in this show. Wasted, Shine and Throw Me A line all from Music Alley and available other places I'm sure. Kevin just put out a new Album (if people still use that term) with his group “Crater Maker” which you can find at Amazon: amzn.to/zpRBbs and CD Baby: bit.ly/zBrfI6. Kevin is working on another album of his own music (pop/rock) that should be out sometime this year. He's also playing some local gigs. I need to get out and see him live again! Catch me LATER! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn This is another “on-the-road” podcast. I recorded most of this at the end of a 3600 mile road trip to Texas and back. I was on the last leg of the trip heading home form Grand Haven after picking up a New to me car (or should I say a car that I had before and got back). Anyway, at the end of the podcast there is a funny radio thing to do with Voiceover work. Enjoy! Catch me Later! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn An update after so long away from THIS microphone. I give you updates about what's been going on over the last however long it was since the last podcast. I also made the decision to pull the plug on the Unplugged feed. That's All Folks! I will be putting all my podcasts into the main feed at http://mikedell.com/feed/podcast/. The Radio Mike Dell feed will stay active to catch all the other podcasts I do and the Video feed will stay active although, I'm guessing I won't be putting a lot in there. We will see. Otherwise, it was a nice drive in the woods and good to get caught up! Catch me later! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Thanks for listening! Today I update you on all the stuff going on in Mike Dell's World (my world).

I also played “Am I Awake?” By They Might Be Giants I played another song called “Juliet” by Michael McGlone from his CD “Hero” Hope all is well with you! Catch Me LATER! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Today's show is going out on all the audio feeds. It's sort of an announcement. After 18 years of employment with a company, I have become self-employed. It's going to take me a month or so to get ramped up and ready for a full load of business but I've never felt more ready then I do right now. 2 days ago, I didn't think I was ready but the hand of God slapped me up side the head and said ” Dummy, you are going the wrong way. Here, go this way” Anyway, Catch me later! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn An update to let you know that my priorities are going to be a bit out of whack for the next few months as I get serious about Geek of the North and a few other projects I have going. I will try to keep the main Mike Dell's World feed updated from time to time but your best bet to keep up with me will be to subscribe to either the Unplugged feed or the Geek of the North podcast. You can also subscribe to the Radio Mike Dell feed and get everything I do. I plan on walking a lot now that the weather is breaking and I plan on having the recorder with me for unplugged episodes. Anyway, Hope all is well with you and yours! Catch me LATER! -Mike

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Thanks for downloading this episode of Mike Dell's World. We play a song by Chad Hollister which is a cover of “Best Friend's Girlfriend” Been BUSY BUSY BUSY with lots of stuff.. It's not supposed to be that way in winter around here. I talk about the trip to Novi, MI for my Wife's Work. NOVI: The name Novi was taken from the township, which was organized in 1832 from Farmington Township. The name was offered by resident Dr. J. C. Emery, at the suggestion of his wife. Residents were reportedly looking for a shorter name than Farmington. Several popular but historically inaccurate explanations have been given for the origin of the name Novi. One version is that it was named after the 6th tollgate (No. VI) on the Grand River toll road. However, the township was named in 1832 and the toll road was not constructed until the 1850s. A similar claim is made about the township being stop number 6 on the railroad. However, the Holly, Wayne and Monroe Railway (now CSX Transportation)
