Problems With Audio

On Saturday, I went down to Plano to cover their football game against Wilmington. I opted to do a Team Spotlight on the Reapers instead. Then I decided to make it an AUDIO team spotlight - the recorded interview.

I had a mircophone/headset at home, which I haven't used for NISB since God only knows. I was dissapointed to find out that the wiring had been tampered with and the microphone was no good. So I was stuck with this audio file that I wanted uploaded onto my computer. I went to Wal-Mart (the only place open at midnight) to get a headset. The ones they had were ones that I thought would be computer-compatible. Stupid me. The plug-in doesn't fit in the computer tower. So I'm trying to repackage the headset and return it for a refund, OR if that doesn't work, just use it as a headset for my cell phone. Then make a trip to Radio Shack during the day.

I also can't seem to connect my audio recorder with the tower, either.

I'm broke until Friday, when I get my paycheck.

So, I'm going to have to turn this endeavor into a written Team Spotlight (something I thought I cut last year). As for now, I have to write a long poem for creative writing class. Bleh! Then I can write the Plano Reapers Team Spotlight.

Hopefully the headset issue will be solved tomorrow morning before class. If I CAN get the right microphone purchased, then maybe I won't have to write it out.

The audio team spotlight that I PLAN on releasing is not really a formal setting, since I decided upon this thing at the last minute. However, I think it will be a useful Phase II concept for the future. The only issue with this is with the site's data transfer.

A lot of you don't think I talk about life outside of NISB. I can say that college is a bitch, and work is getting better.
