Here’s some information for those of you who loved the No Walls song I played back in the episode with William “Kip” DuVall. A few people asked about how they could get the CD, and William pointed me towards the guy who put it out. He’s the owner of the Full Moon Records shop, and [...]

I follow the snark of Supr.c.ilio.us as a funny antidote to some of the froth around GSD (even though I think most critics miss the actual value, it’s still fun reading them take the piss out of the thing).
Don Marti had a pretty good post explaining that value. Leave it to Supr.c.ilio.us to [...]

With the recent attack of work and busyness, while I’ve kept up pretty well with my podcast listening I’ve fallen way behind on my videoblog watching. The latter takes more attention, and can’t really be done as I sit and work at my day job so that becomes an issue. I went and checked the [...]

I was contacted by Mark Glaser of the Mediashift blog for PBS the other day about the food fight brother Gillmor and I had over the Earthlink ads. He published his final piece today, and I’m extensively quoted. In fact, I’m probably quoted too much. Some stuff that was kind of silly that I was [...]

Musician Nikki Sudden has died at age 49. Not that long ago, I heard him do an in-studio on Personality Crisis with Jon Kincaid. I’ve always liked his music across all phases of his career, and he seemed to be every bit the rocker. I guess that’s the fortune of fame, baby.

Susan Kitchens, my partner in crime for the flash barbecue, has finally released the first episode of her Family Oral History podcast. I actually listened to this a week or two ago and thought it was quite good, but was too bogged down to blog it. I’m looking forward to hearing more.
One of my [...]

George Carlin Firewater Comment of the Day
I think the warning labels on alcoholic beverages are too bland. They should be more vivid. Here are a few I would suggest:
“Alcohol will turn you into the same asshole your father was.”
“Drinking will significantly improve your chances of murdering a loved one.”
“Use this product and you may wake up in Morocco wearing a cowboy [...]

The meetings were Saturday. We had 5 people in South Carolina, and there were 6 people in Minnesota. While that’s not huge, both groups had fun and got some stuff done. They did more citizen media stuff in Minnesota, but a lady in SC also got help with her laptop from a guy who happens [...]

Over the last few days, I registered my copy of MP3 Trimmer. This is an OS X program for making edits to MP3s - splitting, joining, removing portions of them — that does not do a re-encode. This is important, because if you do things like import into Audacity, edit, and then export back to [...]

The high work load days gave way immediately to the Uplifter meeting days, all of which kept me too busy to blog. The meeting was a success, and I’ll be getting back in the saddle shortly. First, though, I have a date with a rake and a garden weasel.

Busy Work
No, I’m not going to vote for your podcast, month after laborious month, in the various systems with monthly voting. I have 150 shows I am subscribed to, of which about 75 are ones I care enough about to keep permanently subscribed. That’s way too many to deal with this ongoing useless busywork of voting [...]

GSD
I’ve been listening to the various “Web 2.0″ criticisms for a while now, both of the term and of the idea. I mentioned in my last podcast how I’m getting weary of people criticizing in situations where they could actually do the thing itself with not much more effort than complaining, exposing themselves for being [...]

I’ve decided that anytime the phrase “our call is important to us” is uttered to me, unless a live human being is actually speaking it to me, I am going to interpret it as antagonistic bullshit that is self-evidently a lie. If my call actually was more important than keeping call center headcount down, I [...]

Crossposted to the Uplifter Blog.
I need help, and whatever anyone can give is good. Because of the very high workload I had the last two weeks, I didn’t get done a lot of the things I wanted to do for promoting the Carolina Uplifter meeting. I have fliers ready to go which I will [...]

This afternoon I did an interview via Skype with the BBC world service for their program Today, talking about the (short) history of podcasting and the like. I originally thought I was talking to the people from this program but now I think it is this one. I’m just an unfrozen caveman, your similarly named [...]
