Listen to Mark on the SA Pro podcast Sarah Aug 29

5 comments Latest by Dhrumil

Our awesome systems administrator Mark Imbriaco participated in the first episode of the SA Pro podcast recently. You’ll hear Mark talk about how formal education is the only way to become a good sys admin and that Perl is better than Rails.

Just kidding, but still check it out!

(P.S. Mark’s using the awesome Blue Snowball mic to get that clear, Fraiser Crane sound.)

That is an awesome quote from Mark. ”...Once I started at 37signals, I had a little extra time…”. Wish more people could say that about their jobs.

Nice. It’s on my to listen to list. Hopefully not too much fanboyisms. ;)

Since it’s in the OP and of particular interest to me —is that mic powered? Is there such a thing as a USB powered mic these days?

The Blue Snowball is USB powered. No external power supply needed.

Thanks. Gotta test that out.

FWIW , I think Mark (I think that’s him) is the one making most sense on that thing. I’m sure that’s a great reassurance for him. ;)

I’ve been using the blue snowball for 1 year for my various podcasts. I love it. Great quality.

The Snowflake is just as good, but much smaller.
