<P>Greetings;</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If you lack the time to read this whole page jump to the bottom and read the
"I don't have time for this crap summary".</P>
<P>I have watched with much entertainment and chagrin at the discussions
regarding the class management. I routinely receive a newsletter and book from
the Star, Laser, j105 and J-24 class all of which i participate in. If we will
see a change remains to be seen. I have lots of input, but prefer a receptive
place to give it .</P>
<P>However i also i have learned that it is far better to create something than
argue about how it is being done. This inspires people and good things
happen.</P>
<P>With that in mind i created a Podcast from the last mumm 30 event in
Annapolis. I dislocated my shoulder sailing my Laser in March, and has left me
useless and rendered to the tender, albeit a comfortable one with a CD player
and bow thruster to play with.</P>
<P>I purposely asked about posting this on the web site, but was told it would
need content approval from the class. Bullocks!</P>
<P>So here it the unedited non-stagg approved version of what
happened.......................please read this entirely!!!!!</P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Please Distribute to your list of owners and various race fans.</P>

<P>Racer Chaser Podcast of the Mumm 30 Fleet I have finished Day 1 & 2
editing and publishing...</P>
<P>Right now I am posted on Apple itunes.com..if you don't have it you can
download it free...at....</P>

<P>Directions on Itunes</P>
<P>On Itunes.com, download itunes so you can download and transfer to your ipod
or mp3 player Click podcasts on the middle left menu In the Search box on the
lower left search for Racer Chaser (or mumm 30, yachting, ) You can Listen to it
right there or you can download to your mp3 player or Ipod as intended...</P>
<P>Please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, this will help up our popularity numbers on
itunes and increase traffic on the website for the class</P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>
<P>RSS Feed</P>
<P>If you can't program your VCR (or you are adapted/wealthy/successful enough
to pay someone to do your Tech crap for you I might lose you here, but old dogs
can learn new tricks) RSS feeds various home pages automatically as I add
updates. If you use Mozilla Firefox </FONT><A
href="outbind://244/www.mozilla.com"><U><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>www.mozilla.com</U></FONT></A><FONT size=2> as a web browser, it has a
RSS plug in, giving you updates as I make them. Google also has a reader that
you can use if you use google as a hompage or default search. Any RSS reader
will accept the magical link below. Ultimately we will attempt to get the Mumm
30 page updated with this link, so whenever I do a post it will appear. I will
leave this up to the Class to get this done as soon as possible. The more links
and downloads the more traffic the site gets. Next move is to change the site to
something a little more exciting. I have a day job trying to help Bodo pay for
our sailing habit..so for now I will stick to podcasts..I will accept donations
in the form of good will to the class, sailing and humanity in general.</P>
<P>Here is the rss feed...</P>
