August 9, 2005

GREG: In addition to my LiveJournal and my Flickr feed, I've decided to start my own podcast....
BRETT: That audio blog thing? Man, why do you produce all that crap?

GREG: Why? Why?!? Because my voice aches to be heard! Because the world needs to hear what I have to say! Because it is my right! Because I can!!

GREG: And because it doesn't take too much effort.

BRETT: Well, thank God the Internet has now empowered you to create pointless content in every possible medium.
GREG: Just makin' that long tail a l'il longer, baby!
