There are hundreds and hundreds of Microsoft bloggers out there on the Internets, yet very few (if any) focus on Windows Media and related technologies. Heck, there are very few bloggers in general that post about Windows Media stuff! The very lofty aim of this blog is to change that.

First, an introduction! My name is Mack, and I usually blog here. I run a small software company called Paramagnus with my friend and business partner Dickson. In September 2006 we launched Podcast Spot, a hosting service for podcasters. One of the really cool things we do is automatic media conversion, so we’ve spent quite a bit of time mucking around with Windows Media and other audio and video formats. I am not anti-Apple or anything, but I don’t own an iPod, nor do I use iTunes. I have a Creative Zen Touch, an Xbox, an Xbox 360, and I use Windows Media Player 11 (which I reviewed here) pretty much exclusively.

I look forward to bringing you news, updates, tips, tricks and other thoughts related to Windows Media. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact me! On with the blog
