Welcome to the Perez Family Blog / Podcast

Howdy!

I'm hopin to use this blog to... well... maybe to actually blog... although I might leave that part to the rest of the family. I'd love to let it be an easy space for my mom to either post current news, or tell a story from the past - whenever she has the time / inclination. Everybody else - Yes, Please! Chime in!

For myself, I'll be posting audio here. Jose and Jose for starters - you've probably already heard these, but it'll be nice to have them handy. And I think this might be a great place to keep the ball rolling and post new pieces - I might try to put some Thanksgiving pieces up on Thursday, that'd be nice. (and yes, there's interviews "in the can" with Raul 'n Licha and others that... maybe I can get to over Winter break)

Two great features I'm adding on to this are Feedburner and Podzinger. Feedburner will take any audio linked here and turn it into the "perez-podcast" which you can subscribe to in iTunes, iPodder, or any other Podcast/MP3 player software you're fond of. To subcribe just place this link in your sofware:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/perez-podcast

With Podzinger you can search the words in all of these audio pieces. So, for example, if you wanted to find a historical piece you might search for a word like "Saticoy" or for an new piece a word like "Mia." Podzinger's speech-2-text engine isn't perfect so there'll be some, uh... "comedy"... but it's a great feature to help find audio you might be looking for. It'll be especially helpful as our audio inventory grows... which I hope it will do before too long!

To use Podzinger, just scroll to the little lime-green box in the upper left of this page, type in your search word, and hit "Zing It"
