Fri, 27 October 2006  Better late than never, right? We have our Kings and Ducks reports as well as some quick news around the league.In this enhanced podcast, we're sad about Martin Havlat, blow a raspberry at the Philadelphia Flyers organization, and salute the Charles B. Wang Ice Hockey Project Hope. It's a great project that will benefit hockey worldwide eventually... hey, if you can get 1.3 billion people in China motivated in ice hockey, that means that the level of play will eventually go up! We also announce more great news for Kings' TV play-by-play man Bob Miller. Here are some of the pertinent links... You can buy Bob Miller's Tales From the Los Angeles Kings at Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble, or any other fine purveyor of books. For Amazon's link, click here.

acknowledge and remember Bill
Douthett, AKA "Digital Bill" of the Wizards of Technology.
Digital Bill passed away recently. For more information, or the
chance to donate to help defray the costs of the funeral, please visit
The Wizards of Technology.The first full week is over in the NHL, and we give our thoughts on what some of the very early season disappointments and surprises are. We give a big virtual raspberry to the decent teams that are struggling... like Ottawa, Carolina, Boston, Nashville, and Philadelphia. At the same time, we give a huge huzzah to the teams that are doing better than expected... like Atlanta and Columbus. We also laud the individuals who are making news around the league. Our guest analyst, Genevieve, is present for the Ducks' Report.

Wed, 4 October 2006  Like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, the SoCal HockeyCast team returns with the drop of the puck, because that means it's Hockey Time! However, we didn't just take the summer off, the SoCal HockeyCast team followed all the news around the league for the past few months (especially the Kings and Ducks). We also sought out some hockey during the "off-season" to keep active in the hockey scene. Zoe, Genevieve, and I were able to see a great tournament at the Anaheim Ice during Labor Day Weekend. The Early Bird Tournament was a lot of fun. Hear what the girls had to say about it. Zoe and Genevieve also give their updates on the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks (they are "Mighty" no more, but ironically they're even mightier than last year). Finally, I salute the Hurricanes, pine over the retiring players, and take aim with the Islanders. As always, this is an enhanced podcast, it can be enjoyed on the Libsyn site or with iTunes or QuickTime. Both iTunes and QuickTime are free for Windows and Mac users. As always, you can email questions and comments to technologyted@mac.com. Our phone is disconnected, so no more calls for now! Enjoy the podcast! Comments[2] |
Mon, 8 May 2006  The SoCal HockeyCast crew had the honor of being one of the featured podcasters at the Spring Artwalk at the Brewery on May 23rd. We were recording in front of a live audience at the LA Podcasters Studio. It was a lot of fun, but I think our analysts, Zoe and Genevieve, were a bit tongue-tied and twisted when it came to speaking in front of other people! However, we thought we should still post this for posterity. This enhanced Podcast is a bonus episode where we talk about our take on why the Kings didn't make the playoffs. We'll also have our regularly scheduled Podcast on the playoff action up soon as well, so enjoy this little gift. As always, you can contact us at technologyted@mac.com or by calling 206-337-1885.

Mon, 1 May 2006  The SoCal HockeyCast returns with coverage of the 2006 NHL Playoffs! In this episode, our enhanced podcast reports on the big upsets in this year's playoffs so far. The Kings didn't make it, but we still cover hockey from our unique Southern California perspective. We also give the Ducks' Report in their first round series against the Calgary Flames. We break down the match-ups that have completed so far and give our thoughts on what built the first four winners. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at technologyted@mac.com or call us at 206-337-1885. Comments[0] |
Sun, 19 March 2006 Through rain, sleet, snow, Educational Technology conferences, and back troubles, we finally got out our Post-Trade Deadline Podcast!

How did the elite teams do this trade deadline? Who were the big winners on March 9th? Find out here! Don't forget to call us with questions or comments at 206-337-1885. Comments[0] |
Mon, 6 March 2006  NHL hockey's back and so are we! In this episode, Genevieve and Zoe do our usual Kings and Ducks Reports. We also give you some of the big news in ice hockey this week including information on Mario Lemieux's operation, Erik Cole's Injury, and Pat LaFontaine's honoring (hope that's a real word). We also have a special feature on the the playoff bound teams (and some teams that are close), and what they might be shopping for with the trade deadline quickly approaching. We're summoning our inner Nostradamus to make a few predictions based on teams' needs. Remember, this is an enhanced Podcast with images, URL links, and bookmarks. It's viewable in iTunes (free for any Windows or Mac) or any player that supports the AAC file format (also known as .m4a and mp4). Devices like the iPod and PSP also support the AAC format.

Tue, 28 February 2006  This episode features a summary of the women's and men's Olympic hockey tournaments. We give our thoughts on what worked and didn't for the different teams in this year's Winter Games. In addition to sounding off on some of the big disappointments of the tournament, we also honor the winners and overachievers... like the Canadian, Swedish, and U.S. Women, and the Swedish, Finnish, and Czech Men... and those are just the winners! We also admired the play of the Swiss and Slovakian Men's teams. Although the Canadian and U.S. men's teams were very disappointing in the Torino Games, we give our thoughts on why the NHL should continue their involvement in the Winter Olympics. Finally, we also honor a few of the notable speedskaters who won medals in the Olympics. Yes, it's not ice hockey, but it's on ice, so it's good enough for us. Besides, Apolo Anton Ohno, Joey Cheek, and Cindy Klassen are just so darn likeable that we need to mention them! Next week marks the return of our regular NHL-focused Podcast, and we will feature our predictions and advice for the remaining quarter of the season. Please call us with questions or comments at 206-337-1885. Have a great week of hockey! Comments[0] |

Mon, 6 February 2006  Our Features Section is skipped this week in lieu of an expanded Good Section with the Players of the Month. We've got big trades, notable news, and an expanded Ugly Section to talk about some long losing streaks the past two weeks. Scott Stevens had his number retired by the New Jersey Devils, and we give a tribute to the defensive warrior. Zoe and Genevieve do their Kings and Ducks Reports, and we also take a moment to talk about our recent press. Yes, folks, we were mentioned in the Sharkspages (a site about the San Jose Sharks, hockey, and San Jose sports) a few weeks ago, but this past week, we were the Podcast of the Week at LAist. If you've never heard of LAist, they're a great site that talks about all the happenings in and around Los Angeles. They were very complimentary of our Podcast and our analysts. They even made a point of mentioning Genevieve and her very honest assessment of how the Kings have been doing. It was a huge honor to be their very first Featured Podcast. You can find LAist by clicking here. You can also find the Sharkspages by clicking here. Don't forget, if you have any questions or comments, email technologyted@mac.com or call 206-600-6216.

Tue, 31 January 2006  This enhanced podcast features a shout out to some notable players who achieved some notable milestones. We bid adieu to Super Mario who retired for the second (and final time) in his career. His irregular heartbeat was the final obstacle that did something that no defender was able to do consistently... stop Lemieux. We also take a look at our picks for the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly this week. Hockey analysts Zoe and Genevieve also talk frankly about the Ducks and Kings this week, and TechnologyTed blasts the lack of respect in the NHL these days. We have returned to the studio and are LOVING it! The new portable USB microphones are good, but they don't compare to a good home studio set-up. Don't forget... you can contact us with questions or comments at technologyted@mac.com or 206-600-6216. Comments[0] |
Mon, 23 January 2006  This week's enhanced Podcast is back to our regular format. We have the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, comments on the Nedved trade, Palffy's retirement, Luc Robitaille thoughts, and a big raspberry to Bryan Berard. Come and listen to our Ducks and Kings report! As always, we also talk about the hot teams and players. We also bring you an installment of our Pool Tips. This is a slightly shorter Podcast because we are recording on the road and needed to keep things brief. Just a bit of extra news, we are quickly approaching 3,000 total downloads for all our episodes. Thanks for making us so successful... and to think, we began this Podcast just to have fun together as a family and talk about Hockey! As always, please feel free to contact us with questions or comments to technologyted@mac.com or call us at 206-600-6216. Comments[1] |
Tue, 17 January 2006  Here it is, hockey fans... The Mid-Season Report!

Based on the accomplishments thus far, our analysts make the predictions for the Rocket Richard, Hart, Vezina, Norris, Jack Adams, President's, and Lady Byng Trophies. We also give out a couple of "special" awards to predict some of the worst things we've seen this season.

Tue, 15 November 2005  Other than my love of hockey, I am a life-long learner and educator. Here's a sample of the type of work I do with students. It's an enhanced Podcast of an Ancient Egyptian rap that my students wrote, recorded, and edited. They used GarageBand, a free tool for all new Mac users. Although I've been a hockey fan since the age of 7, I love teaching as much as hockey. Enjoy! Now, back to hockey!!! Comments[2] |
