This being the every otherth Monday evening, I should be recording my biweekly podcast. However, in the past two weeks we've replaced our home desktop machine, and apparently the mike jack on the new machine is underpowered compared to the old one. The mike records only very faintly. I'm going to have to go out tomorrow and get a self-powered microphone—like, one with a battery boost or something.

My apologies if you were looking forward to the podcast in the morning. Grumble grumble.
