Church of "San Felipe de Neri" in Albuquerque

I recently visited the "Old Town Plaza" in Albuquerque, and this is a picture of the church founded in 1706 by Franciscan priests. The Spanish heritage of the city is noticeable throughout the Plaza in its distinct architecture. 

IPods and Podcasting

After using a Rio Nitrus for the past year and a half, it decided to give up on me. It seemed like it was the small micro-hard-drive that stop functioning. Of course, the 90 day warranty was of no use at this point, so, I finally gave into the temptation of buying an IPod (a Silver Mini 4Gb unit). I must say that one of the allures of this device is that it is the most popular type of mp3 player out there. Apple holds over 80% of the market, with Creative and Rio each holding less than 10% of the pie. Popularity means not only that you will find buddies with whom you can share your IPod reverence, but also a multitude of accessories and applications made just for this fashionable device.
One trend that is catching on is Podcasting, which does not mean that you can beam information on and off your IPod, as the name suggests. This phenomenon is nothing more than audio blogging through mp3s. Just as you are reading this blog, many authors are rolling out their own talk shows which can be downloaded as audio files and sent to your IPod for your listening pleasure. You can even download applications on your PC that will subscribe you to your favorite Podcast sites and download the newest content to your PC, which will synch with your portable player whenever you connect it to your computer.
