AudioBlogging Gateway  - "Let Your Voice Be Heard" The next big step for "My Blog Voice Channel" is for me to tie it into a Gateway, an AudioBlogging Gateway.  One doesn't exist today so I guess I'll have to architect and develop a prototype.  The way I see the AudioBlogging Gateway playing a roll right now is as follows: POTS -> VoiceXML Gateway -> Internet -> AudioBlogging Gateway -> VACS, HTML, RSS, OPML, etc. -> Internet -> weblog, syndication, audioblogging search engines, etc.. The AudioBlogging Gateway is the conduit between the input (Internet interfaces such as but not limited to the VoiceXML gateway) and the output - Internet structured formats (HTML, VACS, RSS, OPML, etc.).  It will produce, store and Internet host the structured Internet formats used for AudioBlogging listing and syndication.  It's physical network connection on both the input and output is the Internet.  The AudioBlogging Gateway will also be very closely connected to the store that holds the voice files. You should be starting to see that "My Blog Voice Channel" (the micro-content that is in the left column of this weblog) is just a presentation layer derived from a backend produced Internet format.  In this case the format is VACS (one of the output formats of the AudioBlogging Gateway ). 6:13:17 AM  comment []       USB drum set. That whole Eighties revival may have already peaked here in New York, but the rest of the country can still feel comfortable pounding out electro beats on the DrumXtreme, a new programmable electronic drum set from Pacific Digital that plugs into the USB port of a PC. The DrumXtreme comes with five drum pads, a foot pedal (simulating a kick drum), and comes with 130 sound samples. Read [Thanks, Tara] [Gizmodo] Being a drummer in my youth, this is a must have toy.  At $299.00 this drum kit would be the perfect gift for a computer geek that plays or played the drums.  Maybe with this kit I can become the Buddy Rich or Gene Cruppa of the Internet.  I know, I'll add a drum track to My Blog's Voice Channel.  April fools.  H.G. 5:11:03 AM  comment []
