Desktop outtakes

In an attempt to better humanity I have downloaded Windows Media Encoder. Using this tool I will be able to share what I see on my computer screen and add audio voice overs to it. The practical applications of this are countless but my primary motivation was to allow people to experience the wonder that is a smart organizer first hand. But before that I first needed to go through a bit of the learning curve and to install my cheapo Labtec Vese 504 desktop microphone. Upon installing it I recorded this gem to test the levels. It is something about underwear.

I then started to play with skype but with most communication tools I had nobody handy to skype with. I am easy enough to find on Skype. I am Dan Housman with the username dhousman. So I chatted with Jeremy for a while. He was in a cafe in Australia or something like it.

So I graduated to the WME from pure sound recording and I recorded this documentary about Microsoft Excel.

I then went to do some testing through remote desktop while installing. It is also an out take including some spilled cranberry juice.

I intend to be better at this by the end of tomorrow morning. I will fix things like the resolution. My handling of the juice and my own rhythmic vocal pattern.

I was inpired to do this after listening to NPR this morning as they were going over celebrity voice overs that most people don't even know are the celebrities like Julia Roberts for AOL. I recommend the game guess that voice over star.
