Just bought myself a crummy little mp3 player (Sepia 128MB), which so happens to be very little and have a built-in microphone, so it can be used as a dictaphone. The sound quality isn’t really worth talking about — it’s as non-existent as G.W. Bush’s intelligence, but sound quality or not, at http://lillesvin.net/soundblog/ you’ll now be able to hear the recordings I’ll be making.
So what can you expect? Well, it’s not far from a regular blog (like this) but with me speaking instead. Eventually I’ll probably bump into some guest stars and other strange stuff I come across, which I’ll now have the opportunity to easily record and then mix it all down and put it up here. Expect nothing, but prepare for everything. ;-)
Oh, and by the way… This little Sepia babe hooks up to Linux with absolutely no complaints! Just mount it as an external USB vfat filesystem and you’re good to go! (Do a tail -f /var/log/messages when you plug it in, to see what device it creates for you to mount.) Mmm… Compability…
And one more thing… I haven’t seen any other soundblogs around (I mean, blogging by speech instead of writing), so if noone will prove me wrong, I’ll claim to be one of the very first to have thought of and used this concept. ;-)
feck off. i wanted to be the first. but thanks god, ohh god you put me in the erth(*) to be poor. i’ll be shot after. watch me.

Hehe, but I _AM_ the first. ;)
I don’t whether you are the first to do it, but..
About a year ago – before Google bought it – blogger.com started offering you to do soundblogs by calling Blogger be phone to record a blog entry.
You still might be the first to actually use it. You can have the plaque for it, if I can get the one having the most blogs with the least content ;-)
haha – “most blogs with the least contents” – BS.
The idea of recording your evryday life is as old as as tape recorders. At my parents house we’ve got tapes with recordings from christmas eve from sometime before i was born.

Yeah, I know that. I’ve heard some old tapes of some american traveling around europe and such, but I was thinking of the exact “soundblog” concept – but then I found http://audioblogger.com. But what the heck, I haven’t gotten much put up anyways. It’s actually more time consuming that I’d expected. :-(
