Yes, that's right, the donkey is now speaking. What do I mean by that?

What I mean is that I have entered the world of podcasting. What is podcasting, you may ask? Here's what wikipedia has to say about it:

"Podcasting" is making audio files (most commonly in MP3 format) available online in a way that allows software to automatically download the files for listening at the user's convenience.

Okay, so how does it work? Well, what I did was record a "show" on my computer, adding in a little intro music, etc. and then publish it using the handy service over at feedburner. The first episode is about 18 minutes long and includes a little bit about myself and my family.

Okay, so how do you subscribe? Well, copy this link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDonkeySpeaks into your podcast application.

Which application should you use? Well, I highly recommend iTunes (you'll need version 4.9) to listen to podcasts. Download it, click on the Advanced menu and click on Subcribe to Podcast... Copy and paste my link into the box and click ok. When you do, my podcast will appear in the Podcasts window (you may have to click on the Podcasts link on the left) and start downloading automatically.

When you're in the Podcast pane, click on the button at the bottom that says Podcast Directory and it will take you to a directory with 100's of podcasts that have been published with iTunes. You can find even more on the internet.

Here below is a little icon that lets me know how many listeners I have. At the time of this writing it says I already have 10, which seems like a lot to me, because I just started.

That's it. Subscribe to my podcast, listen and drop me a line at donkeysmouth@blevins.nl to let me know what you think.

Here is an excellent article on the - often vehement - Darwinist refutation of Intelligent Design: David Klinghoffer on Darwinism & Intelligent Design on National Review Online

Here's my favorite quote from the piece:

In a wonderful irony, the only intellectual framework in which people can genuinely be expected to pursue truth dispassionately, even if that truth undermines our sense of personal prestige, happens to be the religious framework, in which people aren't animals at all but rather beings created in the image of God.
