I'd stream my desktop while I drew in photoshop or paint tool sai, and it would be some kind of SPN art :) It's fun--I've found that I like drawing with an audience, it puts me under a little bit of good pressure and makes me try a little harder to make my art look good, plus real-time "that arm looks wrong" type criticism is also very helpful!--and the chat section can be a lot of fun, too.
Ah, I had about six months of listening to podfic before I dove in, so at least I got a little head start. I have joined a few reccing comms, plus the daily/weekly recap comms, and those help. I save a lot of the recced fic and stick it on my modded DS or my Kindle thing for reading when I'm away from the computer. It's like you *need* multiple platforms to even halfway keep up, lol. Alas, I don't have a smartphone, or it might be a little easier, haha.

Good luck on catching up!
