# 8 things about me... or at the least, my iTunes

I was trying to come up with 8 things about me to fit the 8 things meme that [a] are interesting and [b] don't venture into the boundaries I keep that separate my personal and professional lives. On a whim, iTunes was open, so I thought, hey, what are 8 things in my iTunes that would be interesting? 1. I have almost as much audio as video, disk space wise. I listen to lots of audio. 2. I have actually paid for some of Apple's games, silly as they are. Nothing kills off 3 minutes in line at a store like Zuma or Bejeweled. I'm tempted to buy the billiards one next. 3. I listen to LOTS of motion picture scores and soundtracks. I have The Crow, Batman Begins, Superman, Star Wars, and anything else that sounds like John Williams. 4. I listen to LOTS of motivation/inspiration stuff too. I have Tom Hopkins sales training, Tony Robbins, Richard Bandler, and those sorts of folks. 5. I have an entire album of Tibetan music from Lama Tashi of the Drepung Loseling Monastery. It's interesting. 6. I own tons of podsafe music, albums that I've either bought or been sent. Just about anything that [Matthew Ebel](https://www.matthewebel.com/main) has published (willingly or not - I have some rehearsal outtakes in there), [Rayko KRB](https://www.raykokrb.com), [Anji Bee](https://www.anjibee.com), [Rich Palmer](https://www.richpalmer.com), [Rebecca Loebe](https://www.rebeccaloebe.com), [Michelle Cummings](https://www.christopherspenn.com/youve-discovered-the-missing-link/), [Black Lab](https://www.blacklabworld.com), [iscintilla](https://www.iscintilla.com), [Uncle Seth](https://www.musicface.com/uncleseth), [Rob Costlow](https://www.robcostlow.com), and tons of concerts and things I've recorded over the years. 7. Almost all the video I have is stuff I've transcoded from iMovie, stuff I've made. I don't watch many video podcasts because I don't have time. I can listen on the commute, but not watch. 8. Every six months or so, I dump all my subscriptions to podcasts. Delete them. I then re-add any that I can remember. If I can't remember it, chances are I wasn't listening to it anyway.
