Quite some time ago, I noticed that there was a site out there somewhere called HumanClock, where instead of a normal wall or digital clock, they’ve got pictures with the time in them. Some are really cool, some are silly, but every day at 2:44pm, The Ruby Show starts…
As many of you noticed, at 2:44pm a little “story” starts on the clock site. Sometime around December 2004, three different people from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Virginia started sending in photos responding to the previous minute’s photo. This went on for the next six months. Much like an overpriced anthology book, all of the photos are collected here (sorry, no outtakes or previously unreleased photos) with each partipant talking about the photo. A big thanks to John, Camille, and Leanne for putting time and effort into this.
Even when things are supposed to be totally random, patterns emerge. Communities rise up where there’s no reason to, but arise they do. Gives us hope sometimes. The Ruby Show is an example of a tribeless tribe. People who work towards some sort of common goal, no matter how silly that goal may be. They share common beliefs, no matter how obscure those beliefs may be (that there’s something about 2:44pm that people should pay attention to).
That hey, people and time interact strangely.
Got an email last night from another John (DJ John Mills from MyCityRadio, more recently Brandi’s fame, and just an all-around good egg), claming that he’d finished recording his first podcast, and since we’ve been talking about doing a podcast together, I’m going to do a test post of an MP3 riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…
HERE.
Let’s see if that’s an iPodder (RSS) downloadable thing.
[Edit: That worked! Just have to remember to add the custom field ‘enclosure’ with a value of the url for the mp3 you’d like to include. I *think* I can put the file wherever I want to (as long as it’s World-Readable by WWWUser.]
Guardian Unlimited | Ricky Gervais | Ricky Gervais podcast
The guy from the UK version of “The Office” has a podcast.
Whether or not it’ll make you wanna pull out your own ears is yet to be seen.

deviantART: Focus by *Jesar is really quite gorgeous…
Check it out, and everything else Jesar does. It’s got this great “looks like someone could make one” look about it. Mixed plastics and metals in the images, putting me in mind of the Bjork video or “All is full of love“
(Also, I found an excuse to use Performancing, the blogging plugin for Firefox).
So… I’m *told* that WordPress does enclosures automatically, so if I post a link to an audio file, I’m told that WP1.5 will deal with everything by itself…
Let’s see what happa, hmmmmm?
Films found in old camera via HappyPalace (which, if nothing else, is colourful).

NEED COFFEE…

My left eyebrow is twitching, way up near the edge.
It’s like someone’s tapping me right there, going doot-doot-dit-dit-doot… doot.
Why are “boing,” “going,” and “doing” all spelled almost exactly the same, but pronounced so differently?
I think we need to find one way to say them all, and stick to it.
I myself, prefer that they all rhyme with “boing.”

Lifted from LiveJamie’s post about Letterman’s interview with Bill O’Reilly…
Letterman: “I’m not smart enough to debate you point to point on this, but I have the feeling, I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap.”
