Song list coming shortly, but you’ll all be happy to know the categories are fixed, even though none of the OTHER podcasts MP3s are back online after our main drive exploded a few weeks back. The data’s all safe & sound, but still offline. It’ll be back up again soon, kay? Kay.
Not entirely safe for work, or the faint of heart, so grab some headphones and send the kids to bed.
So start listening by clicking the play button (if you see one), or clicking this.

I *wish* I had the capability to do things like these guys. I’m thinking about doing one of the keyboards they have listed here, just ’cause it seems like about the level of mechanical aptitude I’m capable of.
Nifty video from Nike Momentum (drum circles cause adrenaline, who knew?) via the often interesting and always well-written How Advertising Spoiled Me.
In the video, stars (it’s Nike, they can afford it – I’m surprised they don’t have them breakdancing), are squaring off, sorta, and you end up with tennis players slamming a ball at a soccer player, etc.
And I called it about a two years ago.
’cause I wanna see a game that places the sports against each other. The game’ll need some serious play-balancing, and would be a pain in the butt to do physics for, but after watching this little video, I’m thinking it’s time to check my idea in, since it’s got at least the first wave of questions and “yeah, but”s answered.
So watch out, Nike Commercial People, you’re on notice. {Speaking of being “On Notice,” the Stephen Colbert “On Notice” Generator is gone, sad.}
Nice little 10min explanation of copyright and fair use, using Di$ney snippets to e(d)it together sentences. It takes a little ADHD to follow, but it’s fun to watch.
This is some flat-out amazing guitar work. I’m guessing from the tags on the site that it’s a DireStraits track. But in the words of Caitlin, my first response was “SHUT… UP.”
I’m running into an autosave bug that acts more like a “save and revert” of some sort. It’s BRUTAL to be typing for five minutes, rest for a second to think about what you want to say next, and then watch it clobber most of the last paragraph and replace it with some earlier text.
I was doing a little post just now, to give it another chance, and it LOST THE POST I was typing, even though it seemed to think everything was just peachy. Ctrl-Z to undo? It put back the last word I had deleted.
horrific clicking noise when attempting to boot.
