Why do we change times 2 times a year?
My Beagles didn’t get the memo…

I just got off a live stream / Podcast episode of Podcasting 2.0 with Adam Curry, Dave Jones and Todd Cochrane (see: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/920666 episode 153 )
Had a great time with the guys talking about podcasting and some sexy namespace talk. It’s a tad geeky, but very cool.
I want to talk to you about your listening app. What do you use to listen to podcasts? One of the “Legacy apps” or a new modern podcast app? For a new app to try, check out https://podcastindex.org/apps?appTypes=app Join me on one of those apps, and setup V4V and look for live streaming alerts for live shows you may like.
I just discovered “Podcast Guru” ( https://podcastguru.io/ ) and have it setup just a bit. It seems impressive! Listen to this episode and then go listen to Podcasting 2.0 ep 153.

This is the second episode of #NaPodPoM0 2023. They talk about my surgery and the expected recovery. There was snow on the ground this morning! I guess it’s that time of the year.

Full Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) each have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages.
Full Electric Vehicle (EV)
Pros:
1. “Zero Emissions” – Full EVs produce no tailpipe emissions, making them environmentally friendly.
2 Lower Operating Costs – Electricity is generally cheaper than gasoline, and EVs typically have fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, resulting in potentially lower maintenance costs.
3. Quiet Operation – EVs are generally quieter than vehicles with internal combustion engines.
4. Instant Torque – Electric motors provide instant torque, which can lead to quick acceleration.
5. Incentives – Many governments offer tax breaks, rebates, and other incentives for purchasing EVs.
6. Reduced Dependence on Oil – Using EVs can reduce a country’s dependence on imported oil.
Cons:
1. Limited Range -Some EVs have a limited driving range compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, although this is improving with advancements in battery technology.
2. Longer Refueling Time – Charging an EV can take longer than filling up a gas tank.
3. Charging Infrastructure – While growing, the EV charging infrastructure is not as widespread as gasoline stations in many areas.
4. Higher Upfront Cost – Although prices are coming down, EVs can have a higher initial purchase price than traditional vehicles.
5. Battery Degradation – Over time, the capacity of the battery can decrease, reducing the vehicle’s range.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
Pros:
1. Flexibility – PHEVs can run on electricity for short trips and switch to gasoline for longer ones, providing the best of both worlds.
2. Reduced Emissions – While not zero-emission when using gasoline, PHEVs generally emit less than traditional vehicles.
3. Incentives – Like EVs, many governments offer incentives for purchasing PHEVs.
4. Less Range Anxiety – The gasoline engine can act as a backup when the battery is depleted.
5. Charging Infrastructure – While beneficial for PHEVs, it’s not as crucial since they can also run on gasoline.
Cons:
1. Still Uses Gasoline – PHEVs still rely on gasoline for longer trips, so they aren’t entirely free from fossil fuels.
2. Complexity – Having both an electric motor and a gasoline engine can lead to more complex maintenance and potential repairs.
3. Higher Upfront Cost – PHEVs can be more expensive than traditional vehicles and sometimes even more than full EVs due to the dual systems.
4. Limited Electric Range – The electric-only range of PHEVs is typically shorter than that of full EVs.
5. Weight – The combination of a gasoline engine, electric motor, and battery can make PHEVs heavier than traditional vehicles or full EVs.
In summary, the choice between a full EV and a PHEV depends on individual needs, driving habits, and priorities. Both options contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, but they come with different considerations.

Hello, everyone! It feels like ages since we last caught up. My summer and fall have been quite eventful, to say the least.
Flight Adventures:
I embarked on an exhilarating flight training journey at the renowned Giving Wings Flight Center in Traverse City. However, life threw a curveball, and I need to undergo rotator cuff surgery this week. This means a short break from my flying lessons. On the bright side, my recovery will give me a reprieve from snowblowing duties this winter!
Home Renovations:
On the home front, we’ve taken on some significant projects. The old woodshed behind our garage, which was on its last legs, has been removed. In its stead, we’ve erected a functional carport-style tent. It’s the perfect storage space for our summer essentials, freeing up the garage to serve its primary purpose once again.
Podcast News:
Exciting times ahead as I’ve committed to NaPodPoMo (National Podcast Posting Month) this year! I’m eager to dive into podcasting throughout November, sharing intriguing episodes with all of you. There’s a plethora of ideas I’ve been toying with, and now’s the perfect time to bring them to life.
Stay tuned and thanks for being on this journey with me!

Another update from the woods here and a reply of a really cool episode from October 2008. Trust me the music is great!

I’m super excited about the Podcast 2.0 project and the features we have implemented at my Day Job (Blubrry.com). It feels to me very much like Podcasting felt back in the beginning of podcasting 2004-2005. I go over some of those features and why YOU might be interested as a listener OR podcaster. The good old days are back!

In other subjects, I have started what is known as the Carnivore diet or PHD (Proper Human Diet) in hopes of improving my health. I talked quite a bit about it in this episode.
To help me NOT bore everyone I know with it, I have started an Audio blog (read Podcast DOh!) called My Carnivore Health Journey. It’s available here: https://mikedell.com/carnivore-2/ It’s a blog as well as a podcast where I will post more personal progress on my health journey and other things of interest to the carnivore community. Wish me luck!

Testing some more goodies from Blubrry that will be coming out soon. If you are not on a Modern Podcast App, check out NewPodcastApps.com. I prefer Podverse and Fountian.
I got a new car for Kathy. A 2012 Toyota Highlander. Now we both daily drive 4 wheel drives again and don’t have to plow snow as much 🙂
