[chrisbrogan.com] - On the Run

The volume was a bit low, but the quality was pretty good. Have fun on leg 1 of the vacation and kick out the grumpy (clumsy attempt at a kick out the jams reference). BTW, I am enjoying the I Hate People book per your recommendation.

wow. came out awesome. clear, crystal. cool. as for what ur thinkin, only natch....vacation is a loaded term full of expectation that it's got to be spectacularfantabulosawonderful every single minute.
but think back: yah, sure you 'member some of the places...but more, methinks you 'member how cool it felt to be WITH your dad or WITH your mom and present in their now ,apart from all normal schedule. savor that. that to me would be the whole point. :)

Sound quality was pretty bad for me, bit low and muffled. had to turn the volume up a few notches just to hear what you where saying Chris.

And by the way, the email notification that came through is nice and clean with Title, text and a "quote box" with a link to the audio file allowing you to download or listen to it on Posterous.

The quality on the iPhone is so much better than the audio I've recorded with the mic on my Blackberry. Have a great vacation.

Thanks Chris, enjoy your break. You're not going to run out of money, nor out of things to enjoy together. Would you mind sharing how you created this podcast on one of your future posts? All the best.

@Peter Fletcher Its probably based on something like this:

Oh, you get social media at a level most do not understand. I like this better than your videos. So how do the rest of us do this? I thought, this could be boring, instead it was 1min 11 sec of compelling. I learned one thing, always leave them wanting more.

Great aural quality. Have fun with on your improvisational family fun. Would love to be able to play audio straight from chrisbrogan.com instead of going to posterous. How does this compare with your "utter" experiments form http://www.utterli.com ?

Sound quality was good on iTunes-Mac, Chris. Needs about 30% more volume, though. I like hearing your voice... says something a little more about you than simply reading text (duh!). A nice addition. The email was "adequate" with just an icon, a link and some text. Would be cool to see a photo...but that may not be possible on posterous.

Wonderful vaca essay... we struggle w/same. (p.s. what ever happened w/Utterz? can u use it on iPhone?)

Hi Chris,

The audio post worked great for me. And I can relate to your observations as well. I also get grumpy at the start of a vacation. If fact, when I have to leave my office to go on a vacation, I experience great sadness and withdrawal rather than joyous anticipation.

I think it is because my work life is where almost everything comes naturally to me with little effort. I am almost always "in the zone" and very happy. There's order and control. I feel great. Work is my spiritual practice.

When I'm on vacation with my family I really have to "go with the flow" and "let go". Much is out of order and there's a lot out of my control. The change hits me hard and it takes me awhile to tap into a spirit of adventure. But I do get into the swing of it after a day or two. And I'm sure you will too.

(However, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the best part of vacation for me has always been coming home. :D)
