A few (unlazy!) notes on this episode. . . .
For those who don’t know:
Many of the wonderful friends in this community came together and created Deadpan #100. I had nothing to do with any of the content you’ll hear in this episode. . . which is probably why it’s such a damn good one. I listened to all 37 minutes with a stupid grin on my face. . . . totally broke Deadpan.
I don’t know what else to say. I’m floored by the generosity of my friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you. People have often commented on Deadpan’s loyal group of listeners. Well. . . I am just as loyal to all of my friends out there. What a great bunch of people you are.
Deadpan is the way.

I fear I may have offended the coffee shop worker say she didn’t need an iPhone. She has stopped saying hello this week.
Sorry to hear that, Van. One can only hope that she’ll get over it.

So I’m listening to Wander Radio EP 31, good stuff so far. Anyway Wolf mentioned that “Claybourne” can get a bit confusing. Yes it can be very confusing. There is only one season, but you have to listen to them back to back for it to really make any sense. Quite enjoyable, although the American character “Thompson” is a bit of a twat. LOL It would have been neat to get another season. Somewhere online the director posted everything that would have happened next. I’m sort of wondering if an outfit like the Sonic Society would write the second season and produce it. :)
We have to clean our walk-in (proportedly) closet this weekend. Although not as full of keepsakes as joe’s office I imagine, it’s going to be a life sucking task, none the less.

Rhettro –
Here is the link for the ending of Claybourne. http://thewireless.blogspot.com/2006/05/end-of-claybourne.html
Read at your own risk. Spoilerific.
That comment was meant for the Sonic Society show when they do the minis on their show – With no reference from month to month takes a while to get caught up and by then it is finished…
Come to think of it I recieved the same complaint about episode 1-6 8-12,
hmmm. Isn’t it ironic.
It payday today. That means I need to go over to the local Safeway and deposit my check at my bank outlet. It also means I’ll be buying lunch there. I wonder what kind of burritos they’ll have in stock today.

There is a short story by Barrington J Bayley, where the protangist keeps his soul on top of a cupboard in a bowl…
Yeah Wolf, I have already read it. I listened to Claybourne two years ago when it was first podcast. I have all the episodes saved to disk. But being as there is already a road map for a second season, it seems like someone could take it on themselves to produce it. LOL And if someone is up for the challenge my input would be please, less soap, more scifi.
Last time I saw my soul I was building a bird house into it. Early 90′s I think.

Kill lunch first then you don’t have to run very far…
You miss the point. He likes to play with his food!
WNDR – have you tried “Rent a soul”?
Very popular in an election year.
speaking of which … just hearing that Walmart told all there managers that if Obama gets elected it means that unions will take over all the Walmarts. So if they know what’s good for them they won’t vote for Obama.
No scare tactics there.
I tried playing with my food once then the bastard beat my master and we are still stuck in Washington Square Park feasting on the existence of Bums and Alcoholics. One day we will get out of here and Jonas will be ours.
That is the worst thing, I’ve heard all day JOe (the Walmart thing), and that’s something, considering I just got baffled with this bullshit:
There is a 400-500k (+/-) compression in service sales this year, due to the wider offerings (the presumption is the more flexible pricing helps XXX and XXX penetrate more accounts……). This type of sale exacerbates the negative revenue impact to price – needs to be watched, so thanks for flagging.
(XXX is the name Evil, Inc. likes to be known by in internal memos)

Van – You have listened to my show right… Rolf Harris should not be a stretch.
Van – I need to find it – (I think my Father in Law has a copy) of Rolf Harris doing a Beatles version of Tie me Kangaroo Down. (Yes he found a rhyme for Ringo)

We shall begin our oft threatened, neighborhood home-brew project!
He has the hardware (used to brew but not in a decade) but since I had offered up that I had access to people who did this sort of thing … I have been nominated to gather recipes and links to places to buy ingredients.
SOooooooo …
Where do I start? Any of you fine folks into home brewing? Do you have friends with beer brewing sites?
Anyone?
CP: Molly’s Chambers – Kings of Leon
Wasn’t Thomas into the homebrewing?
CP: Green Onions – Booker T & the MGs
I can stream from work Van. But I will check it out later.
Yeah, Thomas brewed, but he ain’t local no mo. JOe, I’d send an email to Charlie the Beer Guy or Thomas. They could get you pointed in the right direction.
That is I can’t stream. Can’t type either. =P
I guess the best repsonse would have been, “You’re welcome for flagging”.
Yes, Thomas and Charlie the Beer Guy are both avid home brewers. They’re both good people; I’m sure they’d be willing to offer long-distance advice.

Thanks! Feel free to pimp your publications and whatnot, if you’re still there.
Jack, you mean still on this page, or still publishing? ;)
Good evening, Pan. Thanks for the well wishes on the trip. We had good flights and really like the hotel that will be our sanctuary at the end of each day.
Tomorrow, we start with a tour here:

Hey MD!!! Long time no see!!!
Night pan.
Me mum just called from the hospital.
She had chest pains early today and they have admitted her and will be doing some sort of catheter thing to her tomorrow morning.
meh
Hey Ed – glad you guys got there OK. Don’t let your wife catch you aiming the large telescope at apartment windows in the valley. Awkward!
Hi MD.
Hey Ditto: I never forget you guys, and I do keep meaning to check in, but dang, staying alive keeps taking most of my energy. Plus, honestly, I don’t trust I make any sense :P
Hey Joe: Sorry to hear about the hospital. On the plus side, that is the best place to be when your body goes oh crap.
Jack: Yeah, Part 2 already. I’m going to challenge myself to keep to a biweekly schedule, like you, Chris Lester, and many other podcasters.
Ed: Enjoy your trip, and welcome to California! My family is currently preparing to move to Temecula, which is only about an hour or so north of San Diego. I wonder if we can meet up?
Today I spent over two hours in a Home Depot, and several more hours in the new house, doing painting prep and ripping out old carpet, and old tack strips. Boy, am I tired.
Welcome back, marlodianne!

Personally I’m still pissed off at high ebook prices ( considering no need for paper and warehouse space) and the fact that some magazines don’t include everything in their ebook editions (I’m looking at you F&SF).
Hurrah for Interzone which does include the artwork in the ebook editions of the magazine.
Todays aural horrors from the radio:
In the 60′s somebody had the bright idea to put lyrics to the mission impossible theme.
This horror was performed by the Kane (Cain? Cane?) Triplets…
As I tickle the tumbleweed I have to confess that fresh strawberries are a constant disappointment to me.
MD, do you make more sense t han a highly random talking marmot?
MD: I understand. I often check out your website to see how you are doing.
JOe: I hope you mother gets better soon.
Thanks Ditto. Still waiting to hear anything. :/
Amy – that is lots of work. I have to wonder how your back feels today!
I looked at the pictures and the one of the bare floor reminded me of a sophomoric prank you can pull on some unknown person from the future.
Have someone lay, sprawled out on the concrete floor. Then take a sharpie or other permanent marking device and outline “the body”. Also, draw a few circles (say, large enough to go around a hand gun or a knife or some such items) and write a letter next to each.
Then go about your remodeling knowing that you’ve given some far future remodeler something to puzzle over.
yep, it’s silly.
yep, I’ve done it.
JOe: Well wishes for your mother. At least she is under the observation of doctors so that’s good.
Marlo: Welcome back. It’s good to see you around these parts.
CP: Pseudopod 101
Is Leann back or this just a one off?
Yea. They checked under the hood and found nothing amiss with my mom’s heart. The downside of course is that they don’t know what caused the chest pains. :(
More tests probably but we shall look at this as good gnus.

Subject: Launch Today!!
“SpaceX has scheduled the launch of the Falcon 1 Flight 3 mission for Saturday, August 2nd. The launch window will open at 4:00 p.m. (PDT) / 7:00 p.m. (EDT) / 23:00 (UTC) and remain open for five hours. Webcast will begin approximately 30 minutes before launch. If launch is delayed for any reason, SpaceX has range availability to resume countdown through August 5.
…Falcon 1 is the first new orbital rocket in more than a decade. Merlin is the first new American hydrocarbon engine for an orbital booster to be flown in more than 40 years and only the second new American engine of any kind in more than a quarter century. After achieving orbit, Falcon 1 will be the first privately developed, liquid fuel rocket to orbit the Earth.
…SpaceX will provide live coverage of the Falcon 1 Flight 3 mission via webcast at: http://www.SpaceX.com . The webcast will begin 30 minutes prior to launch and will include mission briefings, live feeds and launch coverage from the launch site at the Kawjalein Atoll, as well as a special video tour of SpaceX facilities by Elon Musk, CEO and CTO.”
http://www.spacex.com/
Cool news jj
Webcast hasn’t started but you CAN see live images from around the launch pad.
After 2 years of daily use my mp3 player died.
Since my Car stereo plays mp3 cds I can still listen but I wait until I have a cds worth but I can’t listen on the shop floor anymore – so currently I am a week behind in my listening and falling faster. Oh well – more torture for children when I cart them around town.
I’m guessing TSHs are having a great time at Lollapalooza.
… but will they be able to remember enough of it to share with us?
I wasn’t here for the launch but I just saw these entries from the event.
I’m thinking it wasn’t a happy ending.

We have heard from launch control that there has been an anomaly. More details will be posted to the website as available.
J0e: When I got up today, my back felt fine; it was my legs that were tired and sore.
LOL! I think I will leave a message for future remodelers… just not that particular message. I’ll do it the next time I’m down there, which will be Monday.
Today we did mostly preparation for painting: washing, dusting, spackling, masking, and priming. Also removing the wallpaper border from my room, a very tedious process during which I listened to Morevi ch. 13 (I’m behind on some podcasts, too) and the most recent Metamor City.
Man, that is a lot of work!
I still haven’t done the Morevi or Metamor City podcasts yet. I only just got to “Brave Men Run” on my last car trip.
Another idea for “future message” is to invite some friends over, open some wine, get out the coloured markers and then do some sort of large collaberative mural of some sort.
“Art” as it were. :-)
^That would be an awesome way to create art. My message, when I do write/draw it, will probably be in permanent marker.
Night, Pan!
Night Amy!
… and goodnight mush.
It didn’t make orbit, a quote from the spacex site:
‘It was obviously a big disappointment not to reach orbit on this flight [Falcon 1, Flight 3]. On the plus side, the flight of our first stage, with the new Merlin 1C engine that will be used in Falcon 9, was picture perfect. Unfortunately, a problem occurred with stage separation, causing the stages to be held together. This is under investigation and I will send out a note as soon as we understand exactly what happened.’
Darn shame.
Morning Pan, showers, showers and more showers predicted.
I wonder what games you can play with a tumbleweed…
Dress it up!
Pirate Tumbleweed! Gypsy Tumbleweed! Fairy Princess Tumbleweed!
And you are aware that it rolls down stairs. Alone or in pairs?
and over your neighbors dog.
It’s good for a snack.
It fits on your back!
Like slinky springs, but with less metal.
“Unfortunately, a problem occurred with stage separation, causing the stages to be held together.”
Seperation anxiety … how embarrassing
Who knew rockets had feelings.
Add me to the list of Deadpanites who have seen The Dark Knight.
Teresa and I loved it. Granted it dig run a bit long, and the last 30 minutes meandered around somewhat aimlessly a little, but the character studies were really good. I liked it better than Batman Begins.

Re: Lollapalooza weekend
I thought so!
Morning, Pan. We’ve survived our first two days of vacation. As my wife will tell you, if I don’t come home from vacation exhausted, then it was a waste of time. I can be a bum any weekend. When I travel somewhere, I want to go out and see and do things. San Diego has certainly not disappointed so far in that regard.
I make no promises on the quality, but here on some pics so far. My wife’s laptop display is so dim, that I’m having trouble telling how will things turned out, so I’m not going to mess with any editing until I get home. But, the geotagging is at least working well.
