Or because he’s in my cupboard surrounded by toy soldiers.

Mum – there already is an FAQ for Dummies. It’s called Google.

iPod is a brand of mp3 player. Like the Hoover is a brand of vacuum cleaner… It (the iPod not the Hoover) is made by Apple (the company not the fruit) and lots of people think they are good. They have been pretty much replaced by the iPhone now though! Which is a phone. A phone is a device used to talk to people…

Susie – thank you. I have to admit that was my intention. And Lily is a great inspiration to me. That’s why she is sat in the corner of my office singing. It helps me work. Next week Lil’s off though – I let her do her own thing every now and again – I’m trying to get Saul Ashby to deputise for her but he’s not returning my calls.

Probably because I don’t have his number so I’m just calling “Saul, Saul, can you hear me? Saul?” to no avail.

Andy that cracked me up so much!!

Also, I can’t believe Lily Allen fuels such brilliant design work…how the heck does that work?

Thank you – I did read it all.

Er …… what’s the difference between an ipod and an mp3player?

Do you think you could start a FAQ for dummies? Make up a few questions that you think I might ask so I don’t have to confess my ignorance

Or each time anyone mentions anything on the blog that they/you think i might not understand they/you could just put a brief and clear explanation in brackets.

I was chosen to explain the what Podcasts & Vodcasts are to the Church congregation. Once I’d finished, I don’t think folks could remember their own names, let alone what a Vodcast is…

A podcast is like a broadCAST but designed for iPODS (and other mp3 players and computers and phones etc but podmp3phoncomputercast didn’t take off)

They did go through a phase of being called netcasts but that didn’t last.

A vodcast is just a video version. Also – there’s VLOGs which are Video Logs (like Blogs but with video)

Are you still reading?

No… didn’t think so.
