I think I need one of these shirts!

I agree, ditto :D
CP: Symphony # 7 – Leonard Bernstein
50 contracts down, 475 more to go…
Evo has jumped back into the podcasting thing. Check it out — I was on episode #1.
http://evoat11.com/
Sweet!
I’ll have to give a listen.
CP: “Virtual Insanity” – Jamaroquai
CP: Il Cimento Dell’armonia E Dell’inventione, Op. 8 Nos. 1-4: Le Quattro S – Four Seasons, Berliner Philharmon/Nigel Kennedy
I figured you couldn’t keep that man away from a microphone for long. LOL
Doesn’t look like it comes out too often which is always bonus with the number of podcasts I’m subscribed too.
I just want to beat up on Ed for beating me to a perfectly timed Darkwing Duck joke.
Don’t worry about not watching Twin Peaks, Jack. I could never get into it either.
So Google’s new browser called Chrome is out (well the beta), link on googles homepage.
The voice actor Don LaFontaine has died, frtom his wiki entry:
‘LaFontaine was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California with a blood clot in his lungs on August 22, 2008, and was reported as being in critical condition the following Tuesday. His family made a public appeal on the Mediabistro.com site.[6] LaFontaine died September 1, 2008 following complications from pneumothorax.[7]
LaFontaine is survived by his wife, the singer and actress Nita Whitaker, and three daughters Christine, Skye and Elyse.’
I think that’s what killed Wingin’ It — all the duck jokes.
That’s a shame about LaFontaine, Van.
(He was the “In a world. . . ” voice-over guy.)
sadness on LaFontaine. He will live on for quite some time though through his V.O.
I LOVED Twin Peaks! It was SO odd and yet it was on network television. No laugh track and no explainations. It was just THERE!
More then once it featured visuals that just made me and my pals scream out loud. (The “backward Talking little person in the red room ” was one of those.)
CP: “Smoke RIngs” – K.D. Lang
CP: The End – The Doors
(you care)
Supper is done, now back to my computer looking over contracts. :(
CP: Inside Out – Phil Collins
CP: The Velvet Glove – Red Hot Chili Peppers
One thing about being stuck at the computer all day, I’m completely caught up on my podcasts (even listened to all 4 episodes of Evo@11)
CP: Superman’s Dead – Our Lady Peace
CP: Too Good to be True – Tom Petty
Yeah, only 385 contracts left
CP: Tapioca Tundra – Monkees
CP: Nobody Cares About the Railroads Anymore – Harry Nilsson
now to 364 contracts
CP:Into The Great Wide Open – Tom Petty
CP: W’s speech from the RNC
Still has to be more interesting than what I’m doing, EssBee :)
Van,
I had a similar issue when replacing my PC a few years ago. Thankfully, there is a way to move your podcast subscriptions over:
http://www.audioactivism.org/2006/02/02/how-to-import-and-export-ompl-from-itunes/
I’ll definitely have to check out Evo’s new ‘cast, especially with all new Jack Mangan goodness.
So, this is what 36 feels like, eh? Doesn’t seem terribly different from 35, I must say.
Does that mean we should wish you Happy B-Day, Ed?
If so – Happy Birthday!
For years, this short snippet has been offering a bit of enlightenment to geeks and engineers. Not being a regular NPR listener (hard to believe, I know :) ), I didn’t get to catch it as often as I’d like. Now, the University of Houston has shown the good sense to make it available as a podcast.
So, come learn a some interesting bits about our world
http://www.uh.edu/engines/
Well, I suppose a happy birthday beats a crappy birthday, so yes, and thanks.
Though, last year, I was spending it with my 30,000 new friends at DragonCon, so that’s a tough one to top. But, going out bike riding with my daughter who’s finally mastered the art of riding sans training wheels on her big bike is a good way to do it.
Well, this bunny has decided she’s had enough. Tune in at seven AM tomorrow (mountain time) to see if she can clear the remaining 335 contracts by day end.
Happy Birthday Ed!
I shall have a rootbeer float in your honer!
I’m pretty sure I dislike everyone in Arizona.
I had no idea that I even lived in Arizona….
But, being an ‘Merican, I must naturally suck at geology.
Would “sucking” be a good thing if you studied black holes?
Happy Birthday, Ed!
Dub! We’re not all AZholes down here. Just me. . . . Well, and also all of the guys with the gelled frosted hair. And the deuchebags who think the freeway is the place to live out their NASCAR fantasies.
Anyway, I dropped by to post this link, which is a surprisingly funny Palin parody:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEW12XLUM7A
I’m more of a dickwad myself.
Happy B-day Ed!
I loved Twin Peaks as a 13 year old but I don’t think it dated well.
I am back from the Vippers Nest of D*C. It was very cool! I just stayed away for the most of the jerk offs and found a lot of friends and cool people. If were there and a listener to Jack Mangan’s podcast your double plus good.
Dub, wow “Darkwing Duck”, I haven’t heard that in years. I thought that cartoon was a cool idea that didn’t fully hit the mark.
Yes, happy B-Day Ed!
Oh and Jack? Have you seen this gem?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMLXoobDKWs&feature=related
Morning Pan, thanks for the tip Ed and Happy Birthday.
Looks like another day of soggy feet according to the weather report, but the Sun is out for the moment.
Sadly another day, another killing spree:

Morning, Deadpan!
Happy Birthday, Ed. You’re a youngster!
I was being a smartass.
Washington has gotten so lonely since Anna left.
Still being a smartass.
Da Bunny is in da howse.
Now back to my 300+ contracts
Hmm I am thinking stew for lunch…
Better watch out, wolf. I’ve had three whole lessons of martial arts – it’s enough to take you down… :)
Happy Birthday, Ed!!!!
On a slightly friendlier note… rabbits are best served baked or fried, like chicken. Stew is ok, never could get my tastebuds to enjoy Hasenpfeffer.
Wow, is my system really slow today.
I think I’m going to sneak out and buy some paper. My umpteem bajillion reports have eaten all mine.
TEB – You are lucky that you are a bunny and not a rabbit.
I could use some luck…
Wait a minute…you’re lucky that you are a bunny…so that makes your feet lucky…
Here bunny bunny bunny… >:)
TEB: It depends on how you prepare the rabbit. My mom makes an awesome rabbit stew. And in tomato sauce, rabbit meat mixed with some pork and beef is awesome. :)
Once saw my Mother making rabbit pie, seeing her strip the meat off the carcass was enough to put me off rabbit pie for life.
I’ve had rabbit a number of ways, I found the best way is if you pretend it’s chicken and do it that way. A roast rabbit is actually quite nice.
Wolf, you stay away from my feet! Remember, rabbits are really good kickers.

Hopefully Wolf doesn’t have a foot fetish.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Totally random.
I have a pair of 4″ spikes. I don’t wear them very often, but I bet they’d make awesome wolf spears…
Sounds like state fair food: wolf on a stick. It would have to be fried first. ;)
I like 4″ heels — just not in me.
Now that would be lucky … Bunny in 4″ heels…
That has a familiar ring to it…
TEB do you know someone named Hugh?
Ditto – Wolf on a stick – too gamey.
This is sounding like Streetfighter Arcade:
Wolf v Bunny
Fight!
All she would have to do is show up in those 4″ heels…
Helpless. ;)
CP: Stuck In The Middle With You — Stealers Wheel
Currently doing…
Reading: Architecture document for work (not counting commenting here)
Drinking: Coffee
Breathing: Yes
Weather: Gray and raining
Music: Note above
Thinking about lunch now…
CP: Do The Bearcat — David Wilcox
Crap… those 4″ Heels are on mind… Especially on a Bunny…
Sure does make me want to play, boy.
CP:IBRT Summer Season Episode 14
I’ll play…
Currently doing
Reading – stupid spreadsheets full of contract numbers
Drinking – Coke Zero
Eating – Almonds
Breathing – includes small cough
Weather – also grey and rainy
CP: This Week in Science
not thinking about lunch – only 10 am here
I don’t actually wear those shoes very often, wolf. 1) I like being short and small. 2) They make me taller than my husband when I do wear them (see number 1)
Fashion, Cooking, Music, and Hunting….just another typical Deadpan morning, I see.
Okay:
CD: Trying to figure out which contracts need to get out today, and trying to wrangle cats (AKA trainers)
CR: Emails from hell
CD: Water
CE: Nada
CB: Check
W: Sunny and gorgeous
CP: Everywhere — Michelle Branch
ZP takes a gander at Eve Online:
http://tinyurl.com/6n3vr4
Okay I’ll bite, why do you like feeling small TEB?
Have the MA lessons not awakened the inner Amazon?
CD: A cup of sugary tea.
I don’t like FEELING small, I like being small. Small is cute. People seem to be nicer to you when you’re small (perhaps a protective instinct?) Small makes it easier to hide in small spaces from you giants :)
However, that being said, it seems to only work if you’re female. My husband is shorter than average and (while I think he’s cute), people (who don’t know him) are actually less nice to him. Very strange.
Reading: The contents of my work folder, and doing a bit of planning.
Drinking: Finished off my coffee a few minutes ago.
Breathing: Yes
Weather: Sunny and warm, with a light touch of haze.
Music: None at the moment. Although I’m contemplating listening to a few podcasts.
CP: Lust For Life — Iggy Pop
Well being tall is no picnic either.
ZP’s take on EVE Online is about right. :)
Reading: This board…umm no work procedures so planes stay in the sky.
Drinking: Coffee Pot #2 (might be #3 not sure)
Breathing: Dammit I knew I forgot something…
Weather: is here wish I were beautiful
Music: Coverville 501
I’ve never played an online game, and don’t ever plan to. They all seem like massive time sinks to me.
TEB: They are huge time sinks. They are still fun though.
Well everything is a timesink till the big hole in the ground time.
I played City of Heroes for a while, but I simply didn’t have the free time to devote to it to make it worth while. I much prefer, either single player games I can leave and come back to like a book, or multiplayer games that don’t require a lot of previous time investments.
Still 316 contracts to go through. Looks like another all day and into the evening work day. Blech
CP: Scientific American Podcast
Well, time for lunch. Then back to the remaining 292 contracts
TEB, I’m writing contracts today too — maybe not the same kind, but I feel your pain, girl.
CP: Lovers In Japan — Coldplay
CP: Moon Viewing at Shijo Bridge – PodCastle Giant
I have discovered that I really lick track balls…
And Bunnies in 4″ heels…
lick… track balls? lol
;)
damn Like… Damn I was thinking about bunnies again.
248 contracts left. I think my eyes are crossing
CP: Warning — Green Day
Better be careful with that, it will look like you have 496 contracts still to do.
I think high heels are overrated, give me a woman in flat shoes anyday.
Van – are you sucking up to the Bunny???
Never Wolf, I’m not that sophisticated.
Okay to rip off a game from another forum I read. 10 random things about yourself, can be anything. My original reply is rather boring, but here goes:
1. I believe the idea of a loving god to be a load of bollocks, if god exists (which I doubt) it either fucks with us for entertainment or doesn’t give a toss.
2. I’ve seen too many movies.
3. I get pissed off at how old people are treated in the UK.
4. I don’t conjure up mental images when I read fiction.
5. I break easily.
6. The ZX Spectrum (48k rubber keyboard) was the first computer I owned.
7. I can’t forget the theme tune to the ST version of Operation Stealth (in fact I’m humming it now as I write this).
8. I played a version of Space Invaders on a CBM Pet in a computer studies class before I played the game in the arcades.
9. The smell of fish makes me want to puke.
10. My fav food which I can’t eat these days for health reasons, is saveloys cooked with peas pudding and gravy (the gravy made with Comptons gravy salt).
Van, that was excellent!
So join in Essbee!
Oh what the heck, I’ll play.
1. I’m agnostic.
2. I was a C student in high school but managed to make the Dean’s list my final two years of College.
3. I suck at Chess.
4. I love avacados but hate liver.
5. The first computer I ever owned was an Atari 800XL.
6. I was the class treasurer of my 6th grade class.
7. I can play the saxophone.
8. My father used to call me “mouse” because of my meek personallity.
9. I used to draw comics using my pets as the main characters in elementary school.
10. I haven’t puked once over the last 15 years.
okay, totally random 10 things:
1. I played a lot of basketball before I totally destroyed my ankle. Said destruction was 20 years ago and I just spent 20 minutes today trying to find a physical therapist to help me avoid surgery to repair the damage that seems to get worse with age.
2. I am in an inter-racial relationship. It’s the greatest thing ever.
3. I haven’t had my hair cut for 15 months (quick at-home trims not counted). I think growing my hair long is my super power. My fingernails also grow at an alarming rate.
4. If I don’t drink 2 cups of coffee and 1 cup of green tea by 10 a.m., I have a screaming headache.
5. I don’t have any tattoos, but I’d really like to have at least one.
6. There were 17 people in my graduating High School class. I was the valedictorian. Saying these two things at the same time is not as impressive, or depressing on the former, as saying them separately.
7. I drink at least 3000 ml of water every day. The gal who’s desk I pass to get to the ladies probably thinks I have a medical condition.
8. I am 5’10″, so would tower over TEB. My prom date was chosen solely on the basis of his height so that we would look good in the pictures.
9. We have two cats — Jenny and Gertrude — who totally run our house.
10. I wish I’d thought of the name “Gandalf” for a cat before Jack did. Although, it would just be wrong to name a female cat Gandalf, so I suppose that one worked out for the best.
Ten totally random things about be:
1. I’m called “hyper punctual” by a lot of my friends. The general consensus is if I’m late for something I’m probably dead. If I’m less then 10 – 15 minutes early, something must be seriously wrong
2. I left home at 14 and therefore could not get my high school degree until I was in my twenties.
3. We have two cats, Reeny and Caesar, but had three up until a couple of months ago (I miss my Dana).
4. I’m not a crier and don’t understand women who do cry at the drop of a hat.
5. (boy this is harder than it looks). While it doesn’t bother me when other people do it, for some reason nobody can figure out, it’s very rare for me to swear myself.
6. I don’t have a favourite movie, song or book, but my favourite short story is The Last Question by Isaac Asimov
7. When I was younger my grandmother tried to make a lady out of me (having failed to do so with my mother), so I’ve had voice, ballet, tap, Jazz dance, piano and organ lessons. I remember very little of any of it now.
8. Before I left home, we lived on a little ranch outside of Vassar Manitoba. I hated that place.
9. I don’t like to talk religion as I feel it’s a personal thing and nobody’s business but there own (that and I find it too divisive). But if it helps, I all but worship the ground my husband walks on
10. A friend of ours gave me a pin that says “cute but deadly”. that says it all
Good stuff everyone. :)
1. My belly button is an “innie”.
2. The first story I ever wrote was about a kid playing football.
3. Brian Regan is the only comedian I’ve ever bought tickets to see live.
4. I have a distinct memory of the Vanessa Carlton video for “1000 Miles” playing on the hospital TVs the day that my son was born.
5. I lost my virginity on a waterbed when I was 15.
6. I’m most comfortable composing and improvising in the keys of A or Am.
7. I wish my palate was more sophisticated.
8. I have a scar near my wrist (screen door) and on top of my head (corner of a dresser).
9. I have 2 things in common with George Bush: I approve of the Death Penalty for certain crimes and disapprove of broccoli.
10. I’m uncomfortable revealing information about myself in online lists.
Darn Jack, I feel guilty for bringing it up now.
Okay, this is way fun. Swoony things from everyone’s lists:
Van – #3
Rhettro – #1
TEB – #3
Jack – #5!
CP: Slither – Velvet Revolver
Happy birthday, Ed!
I’ve spent yesterday and today training to teach at the adult literacy center. This will go on tomorrow. Tonight’s agenda: look over new textbooks, work on recording and editing my part of Questors ep. 2, maybe do the next part of that transcription test.
CP: Mommy and Daddy (alternate mix) – Monkees
down to 206 contracts
contract update = 188
Time for a tea break
bonus 3 random facts:
11. I await for Father to awaken from beneath the depths and enslave this pathetic feeble species.
12. My real name is Ezekiel.
13. It’s not easy being green.
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.
I always thought there was a something a little evil about you Rhettro :)
Jack, are you full breed or halfbreed evil?
ooooh, hubby called, coming home early. Quick hide the boyfriend ;)
Oh just a little evil. I’m reminded of the Sponge Bob episode where Plankton falls into the machine that measures the make up of objects dropped into it. Plankton’s reading was 1 percent evil, 99 percent hot gas. I can relate to that.

While I’ve never watched the series, I did see the movie and found it quite amusing.
Time to make supper
10 random facts…So, what about me is even true?
1. My wife demanded that my children inherit my eyelashes. Thankfully, they did.
2. I got in a wreck in my first car less than a month after it was bought. Some jackass ran a red light a slammed my front fender.
3. I finished high school with a rank of cadet Lt. Colonel in JROTC.
4. I was married two days after my 21st birthday.
5. I have highly sensitive taste buds, such that I don’t enjoy the tastes of most foods. It took me a long time to figure this out.
6. I played Yar’s Revenge for four hours straight one time and flipped the scoreboard several times.
7. Both of my kids were born in a birthing center with my wife assisted by a midwife.
8. As a youth I learned to play guitar, but didn’t keep up with it and remember none of it.
9. I am terrible at remembering people’s names. Give me your name and driver’s license number, I’m much more likely to be able to remember the license number the next time we meet.
10. The power of the buffet compels me.
Emulation in new and unusal places:

The joys of photoshopping…
Van, that link is excellent.
contract count – 149
I know you don’t really care, but it makes me feel better seeing the number getting smaller :)
131
Ten facts about me:
1. I have an excellent memory. Since I remember things so well, I rarely re-read books or listen to the same music repeatedly. So, I have large collections of both.
2. I’m very good with math, but not good with probability.
3. I’ve been playing on the Internet for over 20 years.
4. I remember seeing Apollo 13 return to Earth. I didn’t realize what the fuss was at the time. I only figured it out after the fact.
5. I’ve become an excellent cook though I failed at making jello when I was younger.
6. I love scuba diving even though I don’t float. Unfortunately, I haven’t gone in years.
7. I used to race bicycles when I was a teenager.
8. Redheads are my kryptonite.
9. I taught myself to play piano. Unfortunately, I haven’t kept up with it.
10. One of my biggest pet peeves is to hear things repeated over and over again.
Could you repeat that, ditto?
Couldn’t see *that* coming. Nope. Not obvious at all.
What was that?
Ten items that might be even remotely interesting… wow, dunno
But Here goes:
1, 65ºN to 34ºN is my furthest latitudes where I have been.
2. I can’t swim.
3. I’ve never been in a fight.
4. I swear very rarely, except when I’m reading lines as “Erik.”
5. I can’t play any instruments, nor can I sing, but that doesn’t stop me from belting like a rawkstar while doing 70 with the windows down…
6. I’m not a podcaster, I just play one on other people’s podcasts.
7. In 8th grade I placed 2nd in the city of Saint Paul, MN Spelling Bee.
8. There was one time in Toronto when a crossdresser made me get naked and collect money from people at a bar., but that’s a story for another time…
9. I stopped Boy Scouts at rank of Second Class. (See #2)
10. I have a general inability to come up with ten facts of any particular interest.
So COOL … Ed is an actual “Super Taster!”

Is TEB having to use contract lenses?
