Seven, the number of perfection…..unless you want a Chevy Volt.
Friend and I are both interested in them as a next car, but we stumbled upon this depressing article. You probably don’t need to go much beyond the executive summary. After a couple of pages, he seems to keep repeated the same stuff with different charts and graphs.
Ed - I looked at the article and I see it as more of a “Your Chevy Volt is half charged not half discharged” scenerio.
I am encouraged that the lithium shortage has been identified so early and that alternative solutions have already been researched!
Once again, if we’d commit this countries FULL science prowess (and funding) to the problem we’d have it solved in years and NOT decades.
First of May, First of May!
Minneapolis weather sucks today.
So I’ll just have to go down to the Varsity,
And see Jonathan Coulton in concert with Paul and Storm!
Okay, as song parodies go, not so good, the rhyme scheme disappears as does any sort of meter.
First of May, First of May
Aching blues balls start today.
So anyway, I thought I mentioned I’ve taken up running a few months back to help me get back in shape. So here’s the status report for this 5′-11 and change male.
The heaviest I’ve ever weighed was 198lbs, back around 2002. I switched to diet soda and was 186lbs back this December. Two and a half months of running the new total is! ……. 172.5! I’m still about five pounds from my goal. Who knew that with diet and exercise, you could actually loose weight? That’s just crazy talk.
A funny aside, I had my wedding ring increased in size last summer because my fingers where getting fat. Now it’s loose when soap gets on it in the shower. Ring size is a moving target.
Yeah JOe, if my ring falls off in the shower, I should take a good look around before I pick it up. LOL Seems like I remember a device in Naked Gun that offered good protection from this problem.
I think it’s a silly song, designed from the ground up for it’s shock value. Sweet love songs aren’t supposed to be obscene. Once you get the joke, it doesn’t stand up to repeat listens. But hey it’s only once a year.
I’ll not subject you to my entire post, but you can see my reaction to the show last night over at http://johnboze.livejournal.com assuming WP doesn’t consign this to moderation for using an LJ link…
Okay, I posted a link to my LJ which didn’t pass WP’s filter. It’s johnboze dot livejournal dot com and you can read of the Coulton show and my running into an old friend and her husband, Bill Corbett of MST3K fame…
Re:Yesterday
On Wednesday I traveled to CadCamp at the Spokane Convention center, and had a lot of fun. But I decided to do it the Jesus way and walk… He was better at it though. I know its only two miles, but its the only two miles I’ve walked in three years… Today its my ankles AND my hips. Overall it was just a very bad idea. But at least I saved $5 on parking and reduced my carbon footprint.
Of course the downside is that I WANT TO DIE, but I feel that way most days anyway, so at least I’m feeling like I broke out of my shell a bit and did something I never do. And the convention was fun. They served super expensive food for free… all of which was allergic to, so I had to walk another mile to get fries and a frosty from Wendy’s for lunch. But that gave me a chance to slip into Hollywood Video to rent Cloverfield, so that wasn’t too bad.
C’mon, Deadpan, entertain me! I took yesterday and today off work and I must enjoy my midday internet access. At work all web addresses point to a form to fill out for IS descirbing what functional need you have for accessing the site in question…
Oh, Surely Mr. Richard Q. Farnsworth Head wouldn’t be alone as a source of jocularity. I’m certain that Messrs. Blow, Wad and Weed would be in on the action as well.
That’s it - Tee Morris needs to feature the law firm of Head, Blow, Wad & Weed in his next Billabub adventure. Of course, all the partners would need to be named Richard….just to keep it simple.
“Lost” Play by Play and Lessons Learned of Labyrinth
Oh joy the female protagonist is a spoiled bitch, aren’t movies supposed to have warning labels for this kinda content?
Apparently fairies are little cute pests, kinda like chihuahuas. I wonder if Raid kills them?
Note: Whenever I’m lost in a labyrinth I should listen to any nearby worms. Also ask detailed questions about his directions before walking away from the worm. Maybe I should enjoy that cup of tea he keeps offering.
Conversely if I ever build or operate a labyrinth invest in pest control so random worms don’t give away any secrets.
Oh look the pit crew robots from Phantom Menace used to be little pixie-like creatures stuck in a maze. Overexposure to 80s hairspray explains why they were so dumb in the 90s.
Bowie was apparently contracted to do a musical. Too bad everyone else is trying to do a movie.
Note: Carry shiny jewelry in case I’m ever lost in an oubliette, so I can bribe any nearby gnome like creatures to help me. 50 cent toys from vending machines will work, no reason to spring for the $1 walmart crap.
Cool, Van. We want to see the Tut exhibit too. Unfortunately I spent a good chunk last night cleaning up the wife’s laptop from spyware. I don’t know what happened, but it was some combination of visiting the Tut site and having to install a special player.

15 minutes in … my date say’s “It’s a comic book.”
It is. If you are okay with that in a film (meaning the normal laws of physics and such don’t apply) then this film is a lot of fun.
Unlike the last Bond film, I never found myself wondering how much longer this was going to go on.
Unlike the last Spiderman vehicle or a lot of the CGI action flicks … I felt like the computer generated stuff was there to support the scenes it appears in and wasn’t the purpose of the scene itself.
The plot line might not be original … but it was presented in a very entertaining fasion!
So I got a question for all the tch and photo gurus in deadpan land.
My little sister is going to NYC next month and I would like to get her an external hard drive to transfer all of her digital pictures to for safekeeping. I’m sure devices like this exist, but if any of you can give me personal experience notes I would appreciate it. I’m pretty sure her camera uses an SD, or microSD card. She doesn’t have a laptop, obviously, or i’d just get her a 2nd SD card.
So if any of you have any advice, or sugesstions I would appreciate it. Or if you have any other suggestions in terms of a travel kit for a 14 year old girl traveling to NYC with her class, I’m all ears, or eyes since this is all text.
Man, none of those hard drive backups looked terribly appealing. I can’t believe companies have the gall to still be making USB 1.1 devices, especially for 10+ GB size drives!
I think I’ve said it before but I’ll repeat it anyway. My feeling is as long as the movie follows it’s own rules it creates, then I don’t really care. Take a movie like Torque for example. Okay it’s not a good movie, the physics are far beyond laughable. But it’s consistant in that it wants to be a comic book/music video all the way through. It doesn’t even pretend that the action sequences are going to make sense. I’m fine with that. I did find it jarring in Xmen 3 when Magneato moved the entire Golden Gate bridge to walk to the island. He could have moved everyone over by their belt buckles, rings, car keys. For the tone of X3, I think that would have been better.
“My feeling is as long as the movie follows it’s own rules it creates, then I don’t really care. ”
Yep. My date for the movie is an actual “rocket scientist” - which is why she had to make the statement “This is a comic book”.
The fact that (once she had stated this) she was able to forget about that and really enjoy the film is why I go out with her !
I really WANT Speed Racer to be good … but I find the trailers to be nearly un-viewable - a mishmash smear of colour and movement. Can’t see shelling out cash for that unless it comes in tablet form.
Well we’ve gone from wife’s sister being in a serious car wreck and in the hospital to wife’s sister’s cousin’s ex-father-in-law being run over by a logging truck and killed.
For those of you who have been wondering what the LCMoD has been up to (and you should … you should ALWAYS wonder what the LCMoD is up to) you can read about it at www.cupcarupdate.com
Dub: My condoleyournces, and I hope your sister-in-law gets well soon.
Amy: Good performance as one of the voices of Nadinath. The Deadpan ambassador is not representing in Morevi!
EssBee: LCMoD is the Leather Clad Mistress of Deadpan. You too can have your own AKA name by asking Jack for one.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions, and help looking for ways to archive pictures. I think Van had it right, and I might as well just buy extra SD cards. Looking at the prices and reviews I could just buy a 4th gen Ipod and transfer widget from eBay. Thank you for the link though Jeremy, it was very helpful.
Now I wonder if I can find a pink SD card storage case…
Ralph- yes indeed the SD cards is the way to go. I personally own more SD cards than any human should really be allowed to own.
They are way easier and cheaper than anything out there.
Even with my MacBook that comes with me anyway, I still will bring handfuls of SD cards. Whether on vacation or a photo shoot with a client, it’s just easier to use the SD as the permanent storage. If you happen to view some images on your laptop, keep the SDs and comb through them thoroughly when you are back home with time.
Fatality at Grantham, causing severe delays meant the train I was booked on was cancelled. . Had to run to catch the earlier train that was delayed but not cancelled.
In the process of searching for it though, I was again PAINFULLY reminded of the sheer volume of STUFF that I have around here. I have GOT to frakken let go!
While I’m not offended by it per se, maybe the new AKA could leave off the “easy” or “EZ”? I like to have fun like all the girls, but that just gives the wrong impression.
JK - y’all can call me anything you want, as long as you call.
OK - before I bail - i have to do the hockey thing.
I went 3 for 4 in the second round of the playoffs! (stupid Flyers)
I’ll make conference predictions sometime before Thursday.
And speaking of hockey, a quote from John Buccigross’s latest column:
“The most important word in the English language is love. The second most important word is sacrifice. The third most important word is forgiveness. And the fourth most important is mozzarella.”
Jessica, Jack, Dub, LostRalph: Thanks for the compliments!
Jessica: Nice work as both Josephine and my fellow priestess. (Was that you in Morevi: RM Chapter 11, or are you going to be in another upcoming episode?)
Ever have one of those day’s where someone else fails to take care of something and you get one of those emergency phone calls that leaves you rushing out to get a bottle of Ranch dressing and take it to them only along the way you end up following a white rabbit down a hole and … No?
Well, take it from me - what happens is you end up trying to post your podcast at noon instead of 8am.
sorry to hold the suspense. I keep getting called away.
I believe the movie was “Our Man Flint” and in the end they discover that the evil organization is “The Phone Company”. Yes, there used to be just one.

So I’ll just have to go down to the Varsity,
And see Jonathan Coulton in concert with Paul and Storm!
Okay, as song parodies go, not so good, the rhyme scheme disappears as does any sort of meter.
But it still accurately represents my day…
May 1st, 2008 at 5:57 am
You too could maybe have a Coulton day later on, though:
Friday May 2 at 7 PM
Majestic Theater (Madison, WI) with Paul and Storm
Saturday May 3 at 7:30 PM
Lakeshore Theater (Chicago, IL) with Paul and Storm
Thursday May 15 at 7 PM
Brickhouse Theater (Phoenix, AZ) with Paul and Storm

May 1st, 2008 at 8:14 am
I must confess, “1st of May” is probably my least favorite Coulton song. Throwing the word “fuck” in something does not automatically make it art.
But, everyone else, feel free to enjoy it. Art is mostly a matter of personal taste and I begrudge no one for feeling differently than I do about it.
May 1st, 2008 at 8:20 am
I wouldn’t call it art. I just think it’s a fun song.
May 1st, 2008 at 8:32 am
I think it’s a silly song, designed from the ground up for it’s shock value. Sweet love songs aren’t supposed to be obscene. Once you get the joke, it doesn’t stand up to repeat listens. But hey it’s only once a year.

Re:Yesterday
On Wednesday I traveled to CadCamp at the Spokane Convention center, and had a lot of fun. But I decided to do it the Jesus way and walk… He was better at it though. I know its only two miles, but its the only two miles I’ve walked in three years… Today its my ankles AND my hips. Overall it was just a very bad idea. But at least I saved $5 on parking and reduced my carbon footprint.
Of course the downside is that I WANT TO DIE, but I feel that way most days anyway, so at least I’m feeling like I broke out of my shell a bit and did something I never do. And the convention was fun. They served super expensive food for free… all of which was allergic to, so I had to walk another mile to get fries and a frosty from Wendy’s for lunch. But that gave me a chance to slip into Hollywood Video to rent Cloverfield, so that wasn’t too bad.
Cloverfield sucked by the way.

May 2nd, 2008 at 11:04 am
So, Jack, you think you’ll go get some Coulton on Thursday, May 15?
I highly recommend it, especially forthe interaction with the opening band, heck for Paul and Storm as much as JoCo…
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:05 am
Oh, not my lunch break, EssBee, I’ve got the whole day off!
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:19 am
Let the boobing commence.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:29 am
I don’t know if I can legally talk about boobing within an operating daycare…
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:34 am
I’m sitting here boobing at work. I guess I’m e-boobing.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:52 am
i love boobs
I am so glad i have my own handy set attached to me
Hugh sez: I am so glad I have my own handy set attached to you!
boob you later pan!
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Ah, a Smarty Hottie drive-by boobing.
All those little things I miss during my workdays..
*sigh*
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:15 pm
calc u later
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:39 pm
EssBee is e-boobing at work? Doesn’t sound like such an evil empire to me.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:54 pm
I won’t tell you where the frikken laser beams are, then, Jack.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Does this mean we’re switching to head jokes now?
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Well you should be safe unless your first name is richard and your second name is head.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Now THAT would be an ill-tempered sea bass. . . .
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Oh, Surely Mr. Richard Q. Farnsworth Head wouldn’t be alone as a source of jocularity. I’m certain that Messrs. Blow, Wad and Weed would be in on the action as well.
That’s it - Tee Morris needs to feature the law firm of Head, Blow, Wad & Weed in his next Billabub adventure. Of course, all the partners would need to be named Richard….just to keep it simple.
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:50 pm
If something is uncanny, does that mean that all of the cans have been removed?
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:43 pm
So I decided to watch Labyrinth tonight, the 80s David Bowie one, not Pan’s Labyrinth.
So here follow the official “Lost” Play by Play and Lessons Learned of Labyrinth.
(Maybe it was lost, maybe it was intentionaly left in the dirty laundry.)
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I await with bated breath
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:55 pm
“Lost” Play by Play and Lessons Learned of Labyrinth
Oh joy the female protagonist is a spoiled bitch, aren’t movies supposed to have warning labels for this kinda content?
Apparently fairies are little cute pests, kinda like chihuahuas. I wonder if Raid kills them?
Note: Whenever I’m lost in a labyrinth I should listen to any nearby worms. Also ask detailed questions about his directions before walking away from the worm. Maybe I should enjoy that cup of tea he keeps offering.
Conversely if I ever build or operate a labyrinth invest in pest control so random worms don’t give away any secrets.
Oh look the pit crew robots from Phantom Menace used to be little pixie-like creatures stuck in a maze. Overexposure to 80s hairspray explains why they were so dumb in the 90s.
Bowie was apparently contracted to do a musical. Too bad everyone else is trying to do a movie.
Note: Carry shiny jewelry in case I’m ever lost in an oubliette, so I can bribe any nearby gnome like creatures to help me. 50 cent toys from vending machines will work, no reason to spring for the $1 walmart crap.
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:02 pm
I man in grey tights giving fashion advice. I wonder if he signs his name as David “kettle” Bowie.
Note: Cleaners work better with soap and water, would help keep down on those unsightly spiderwebs and get rid of unwanted guests.
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:07 pm
“The Bog of Eternal Stench” ultimate smell that never washes off. Is that where they make perfume?
“It’s not fair, but that’s the way it is”, a jewel of wisdom, my time spent watching this movie has now been validated.
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:14 pm
She throws like a girl.
Ludo is a hippy because he has long hair and slouches. What are goblins republican, or are republicans goblins?
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Yay! Random singing muppets. Although maybe they should ask David for help in writing their lyrics, or call Kermit he knows some good song writers.
The Bog of Eternal Stench, light a match. Reminds me of some bathrooms I’ve been in.
Apparently bureaucrats can’t smell the stench, at least I think the fox is a bureacrat, he talks like one.
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:42 pm
“Oh, Goblin King I can’t stop looking at your eyes, who does your makeup?”
Aw, her bubble popped.
And now we visit the local Goblin wal-mart a pile of junk.
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Man, even goblins have mechs, when can I get one?
Damn gnome broke it.
Ah the finest in goblin architecture.
And here comes the army, decorating by explosives, my favorite style.
It looks like they got the leftover armor the Mordor orcs didnt want.
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Cool they even have “smart bombs” *snicker*
“Rocks! My brothers, rise up and fight those that have kept you under foot for so long! ”
Strike! Self-guided bowling balls, I want one.
And now we come to the castle.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Architecture by Eschure (sp?).
Ambient music by Emo Bowie.
Apparently leaps of faith break the castle, this is why your mother always told you not to jump on the bed.
The Goblin King did everything for her, stole the child, tortured her. He sounds kinda like a stalker to me…
And now for the denoument…
The baby is safe back in his crib, and she has learned to share.
it tears at the heart strings.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Party at Sarah’s!
I wonder if goblins have any good beer.
And thus end the movie and this play by play with yet another song.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:15 pm
And during Bowies final monologue all I could think of was this picture by R.K. Milholland.

May 2nd, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Hopefully that was at least more entertaining than filling out your tax return.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:37 pm
And now I’m off to bed, goodnight Deadpan, goodnight mush.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Wow. LR returns in a big way!
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Wow, it’s almost as if Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie were in my house. With a bunch of Muppets. And Skeksis.
Nicely done, LostRalph! w00t

Damn time zones. May 3rd here.
Morning Pan,
the guy with the strange agricultural implement is beckoning to move one step forward across the chessboard of life.
I’m off to see the King Tut exhibition.
Extra points if you can spell his full name without resorting to using internet search engines.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:04 pm

It’s two in the morning, do you know where your innuendo is?
May 3rd, 2008 at 4:13 am
It’s 8AM and I still don’t know where my innuendo is. Is it as hard to find as the little man in the boat?
May 3rd, 2008 at 4:51 am
It’s 6:45 a.m., and it’s way too early on a Saturday for innuendo.
Going to a 6 year old’s birthday party today. I have to choose which Spice Girl I am.
Hi, LostRalph - it was like I was watching the movie with you. Nice one!
May 3rd, 2008 at 4:56 am
Cool, Van. We want to see the Tut exhibit too. Unfortunately I spent a good chunk last night cleaning up the wife’s laptop from spyware. I don’t know what happened, but it was some combination of visiting the Tut site and having to install a special player.
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:57 am
“Unfortunately I spent a good chunk last night cleaning up the wife’s laptop from spyware.”
hmmmm…. this looks fun.

got distracted with my wordplay.
Meant to add my thanks to LR for tking us into the Labrynth with him .
EseBee - tell us what you want, what you really really want.
May 3rd, 2008 at 10:22 am
Way to go LR. Good Labrnth wrap up. I sit at work on Saturday,
. Two hours to go.
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:21 am
I guess I’m playing too much Call of Duty 4 lately. I read JJ mistype as

Which reminds me, it’s time to go shoot some people…
May 3rd, 2008 at 12:29 pm
The exhibition was cool, if a bit small (there was some padding).
I feel old, but not as old as King Tut.
May 3rd, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut
May 3rd, 2008 at 2:43 pm
“hmmmm…. this looks fun.”
No, not really. And she got it from some site, not the official one.
May 3rd, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I went with Nerdy Spice. Serenity t-shirt and cords!
I’ll tell ya what I want, what I really, really want!
May 3rd, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Glad ya’ll liked the play by play. It just seemed like a movie that needed commentary.
May 3rd, 2008 at 6:56 pm
EssBee cracked me up. LOL
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Just back from “Iron Man” … well back from Iron Man and Martini’s.

Hey, Van, you go see the Anime All-nighter?
May 4th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Alas no, nephew didn’t want to go.
May 4th, 2008 at 10:10 am
So going taking him to see Ironman tomorrow.
May 4th, 2008 at 10:14 am
So, “Iron Man”.
15 minutes in … my date say’s “It’s a comic book.”
It is. If you are okay with that in a film (meaning the normal laws of physics and such don’t apply) then this film is a lot of fun.
Unlike the last Bond film, I never found myself wondering how much longer this was going to go on.
Unlike the last Spiderman vehicle or a lot of the CGI action flicks … I felt like the computer generated stuff was there to support the scenes it appears in and wasn’t the purpose of the scene itself.
The plot line might not be original … but it was presented in a very entertaining fasion!
I say Bully for Iron Man!
ps: I liked the music too!
May 4th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Yes I’m looking forward to see that movie jj
May 4th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
I was hoping to be “review-esque” without being “spoiler-tainty”
May 4th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
*sigh*
If the FPM servers weren’t so slow today I might be able to do my show. Otherwise I’m just bored. Which for me is a huge waste of production time.
May 4th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
So I got a question for all the tch and photo gurus in deadpan land.
My little sister is going to NYC next month and I would like to get her an external hard drive to transfer all of her digital pictures to for safekeeping. I’m sure devices like this exist, but if any of you can give me personal experience notes I would appreciate it. I’m pretty sure her camera uses an SD, or microSD card. She doesn’t have a laptop, obviously, or i’d just get her a 2nd SD card.
So if any of you have any advice, or sugesstions I would appreciate it. Or if you have any other suggestions in terms of a travel kit for a 14 year old girl traveling to NYC with her class, I’m all ears, or eyes since this is all text.
Thanks,
LostRalph
May 4th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
tch = tech by the way.
May 4th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
But how would she transfer the photos to the hardrive? I think more SDs are the way to go.
But I’ll look around.
May 4th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6501_7-5145238-2.html
May 4th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Considering how cheap SD cards are these days, the extra SD might be the best option. Unless your sister is planning on taking thousands of photos.
May 5th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Man, none of those hard drive backups looked terribly appealing. I can’t believe companies have the gall to still be making USB 1.1 devices, especially for 10+ GB size drives!
Definitely go for the extra SD cards.
May 5th, 2008 at 3:59 am
Happy Cinco de Mayo Deadpan!
May 5th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Happy Cinco de Mayo, and Happy Monday, Pan!
May 5th, 2008 at 7:08 am
My old boss used to say that Cinco de Mayo was spanish for have another margarita. LOL
Lost Ralph, I agree with the others, get a few more SD cards in the 1Gig or higher range. That’s more than enough space for several thousand pictures.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Okay Ironman = fun, fun, FUN.
But I’m not a fan of the Ironman comic so you may hate it if you are,
As JJ mentioned, anybody who likes their movies to obey the laws of physics, switch off the analytical part of your brain before entering the cinema.
Oh and stay after the credits have run, there is a short segment that YOU need to see.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:34 am
I believe movie physics are covered by Einstein’s Extra Special Relativity Theory.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:48 am
I think I’ve said it before but I’ll repeat it anyway. My feeling is as long as the movie follows it’s own rules it creates, then I don’t really care. Take a movie like Torque for example. Okay it’s not a good movie, the physics are far beyond laughable. But it’s consistant in that it wants to be a comic book/music video all the way through. It doesn’t even pretend that the action sequences are going to make sense. I’m fine with that. I did find it jarring in Xmen 3 when Magneato moved the entire Golden Gate bridge to walk to the island. He could have moved everyone over by their belt buckles, rings, car keys. For the tone of X3, I think that would have been better.
May 5th, 2008 at 9:13 am
“My feeling is as long as the movie follows it’s own rules it creates, then I don’t really care. ”
Yep. My date for the movie is an actual “rocket scientist” - which is why she had to make the statement “This is a comic book”.
The fact that (once she had stated this) she was able to forget about that and really enjoy the film is why I go out with her !
May 5th, 2008 at 9:19 am
That’s cool JOe, as long as she isn’t a disgrunted rocket scientist. You don’t want a rocket crashing down in your front lawn.
May 5th, 2008 at 9:24 am
I was considering taking the little ones to Iron Man, but there really wasn’t any time for it. I also wanted to find out more about the PG-13.
As long I don’t feel insulted by the movie, I can deal.
Dammit, I missed Free Comic Book day.
May 5th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Don’t feel too bad, Jack. I didn’t even know there was a free comic book day.
May 5th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Ironman gets the ol’ thumbsoup from me.
May 5th, 2008 at 11:18 am
…and there is no free comic book day on this side of the pond.
May 5th, 2008 at 11:26 am
So there was trailers for Speed Racer and the new Indy movie.
Speed Racer looks a bit naff.
Harrison Ford is looking old but the movie looks cool…really looking forward to this one.
Oh and Karen Allen still looks good.
May 5th, 2008 at 11:37 am
I really WANT Speed Racer to be good … but I find the trailers to be nearly un-viewable - a mishmash smear of colour and movement. Can’t see shelling out cash for that unless it comes in tablet form.

Dub: My condoleyournces, and I hope your sister-in-law gets well soon.
Amy: Good performance as one of the voices of Nadinath. The Deadpan ambassador is not representing in Morevi!
EssBee: LCMoD is the Leather Clad Mistress of Deadpan. You too can have your own AKA name by asking Jack for one.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions, and help looking for ways to archive pictures. I think Van had it right, and I might as well just buy extra SD cards. Looking at the prices and reviews I could just buy a 4th gen Ipod and transfer widget from eBay. Thank you for the link though Jeremy, it was very helpful.
Now I wonder if I can find a pink SD card storage case…
May 5th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Women and pink..aaarrrrgggghhh.
Sad news Dub.
I’m travelling back home today, and the backtoworktomorrow blues are kicking in.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:09 am
Ralph- yes indeed the SD cards is the way to go. I personally own more SD cards than any human should really be allowed to own.
They are way easier and cheaper than anything out there.
Even with my MacBook that comes with me anyway, I still will bring handfuls of SD cards. Whether on vacation or a photo shoot with a client, it’s just easier to use the SD as the permanent storage. If you happen to view some images on your laptop, keep the SDs and comb through them thoroughly when you are back home with time.
thats how I do it anyhoo
May 6th, 2008 at 12:15 am

Thanks for the site “love” EseBee! As for asking Jack for an AKA name … I think you already have one
May 6th, 2008 at 5:49 am
I’m currently listening to the latest NIN.
Do you think it would help if someone took Trent out for a Rootbeer float ?
May 6th, 2008 at 6:51 am
Well that sounds very mysterious JJ, Essbee’s AKA name that is and not the float.
Journey home turned out to be unevenetful after the journey started, just as public transport journeys should be.
May 6th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Ah, sorry. Not as good as a mystery.
I meant that I had already given her the AKA that I liked … “Easy Bee”
I don’t think she has asked Jack for an OFFICIAL Deadpan AKA yet.

Van - only in it’s singularity.
In the process of searching for it though, I was again PAINFULLY reminded of the sheer volume of STUFF that I have around here. I have GOT to frakken let go!
May 6th, 2008 at 7:17 am
I haven’t! I’m just EssBee, AKA Easy Bee, AKA . . .?
May 6th, 2008 at 7:25 am
AKA… E Z B?
May 6th, 2008 at 7:29 am
While I’m not offended by it per se, maybe the new AKA could leave off the “easy” or “EZ”? I like to have fun like all the girls, but that just gives the wrong impression.
JK - y’all can call me anything you want, as long as you call.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:10 am
hehe
May 6th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Don’t be nervous about the call, EssBee. We’re all friends just hanging out around the deadpan. I look forward to your voice and content.
The worst that can happen is that you end up with an experience for a future dumb ass memory - so it’s a win-win
You’ll be fine.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:18 am
on a differrent note … that I won’t expound on, may I just say
“STUPID, STATE BUREAUCRACY”.
Thank You. That is all.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Speaking of dumb ass memories, I need to phone mine in.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I already have some possibly(?) funny thoughts for an EssBee AKA name, if you want one. Let me know.
Yes Ed, I think Rhett’s “AAAAAA” link pretty much sums it up.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:42 am
^^^ Oh, and I liberated The Smarty Hotties SD storage link from murgatory.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Of course I want one!

Heh, this is from our weekly newspaper’s blog:

National rugby team getting naked.
Then a few comments down someone tell my team that the bar has been raised! Funny.

Time goes by like a slow crawling slimy thing when you install SP3 for XP on an old laptop.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Possibly a slug…
May 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
I should probably install SP3 on my machine when I get home.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Joe Just got your email. Yes I’ll do it if you haven’t found someone else.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Jeremy and WNDRWolf have both been freed from murgatory.
Stupid murgatory.
Van, don’t pour salt on that slimy old laptop.

OK - before I bail - i have to do the hockey thing.
I went 3 for 4 in the second round of the playoffs! (stupid Flyers)
I’ll make conference predictions sometime before Thursday.
And speaking of hockey, a quote from John Buccigross’s latest column:
“The most important word in the English language is love. The second most important word is sacrifice. The third most important word is forgiveness. And the fourth most important is mozzarella.”

May 6th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
In Hockey you put spin on your opponent and tell them to puck off while you skate towards a net.
In politics …
May 6th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
nope … I cannot remember how the original joke goes.
May 6th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Jessica, Jack, Dub, LostRalph: Thanks for the compliments!
Jessica: Nice work as both Josephine and my fellow priestess. (Was that you in Morevi: RM Chapter 11, or are you going to be in another upcoming episode?)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Mozzarella…Mmmmmmm! rubbery goodness…
May 6th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Morning Pan, back to worktoday, ho hum.
May 7th, 2008 at 2:49 am
Here, Joe, I think it went something like this:
In pizza, you spin the dough up over your head…
In politics, you get head from lobbyists and take their dough…
May 7th, 2008 at 4:13 am
Ahhh … the Pizza gambit!
Nicely done sir.
May 7th, 2008 at 5:46 am

Dear Ed,
Re: Pizza.
Brilliant!

My 360 only occationally pisses itself too. LOL
May 7th, 2008 at 10:04 am
I’m trying to decide between GTA 4 on the 360 or PS3.
My 360 being a bit unreliable (and not having the decency to fail so I can get it fixed)is leaning me towards the latter option.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I’m afraid if I got GTA my son would some how get a hold of it, so I’ll wait another 6 six years after he’s 16. LOL
If you only intend to play GTA as a single player, I’d pick it up for the PS3. Otherwise 360.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Wndr - No.
Ever have one of those day’s where someone else fails to take care of something and you get one of those emergency phone calls that leaves you rushing out to get a bottle of Ranch dressing and take it to them only along the way you end up following a white rabbit down a hole and … No?
Well, take it from me - what happens is you end up trying to post your podcast at noon instead of 8am.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:14 am

That’s really odd Mr. Mangan … it would seem that his name is my name too.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:42 am
I hope that’s not my AKA!

They are worse fates.

May 7th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
My ass is feeling a bit medieval today.
May 7th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
TCP can be good for that.
May 7th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
however, it is TPC that can make it that way.
(very obscure reference. let’s see who gets the bonus points)

TPC was the evil organization in … anyone, anyone?
May 7th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
sorry to hold the suspense. I keep getting called away.
I believe the movie was “Our Man Flint” and in the end they discover that the evil organization is “The Phone Company”. Yes, there used to be just one.
May 7th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
You just roont a movie I wanna see…thanks a lot!

Wrong James Coburn film, that was ‘The President’s Analyst’ ..,something like that.
