I too have grown to like Charlie Jade.
The original episode’s dizzing edits and visuals was a fun ride that got old quick. Like cotton candy. Tasty for the first few bites but you never finish it.
Then they started to put some substance too it. Still a VERY stylized show but I think they found their groove.

I am impressed with the effort that is being made to re-brand the “Wall Street bail-out” as an “Economic Rescue Plan”.

Wow a Supersized episode! I’ll try to check it over lunch or on my way home. Bleak days in the office, we keep getting more skinny and moral has hit the floor. =P. On the bailout, on one hand I think this thing carries a price tag we shouldn’t pass on to the tax payers. I was listening to NPR yesterday and they had an Oregon representative that explained how an alternative bill could work with out all the money. It sounded like a good idea. But for me personally, the longer the political process takes to a solution, the longer banks loans are tied up, the longer future developments are put on hold. And that imperials my current job. My hope is if this bill is defeated a better one can quickly move through the process.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:09 am
I’ll have to second Essbee regarding the outro tune this week. Most excellent and I would love to get a clean copy as well.
The rest of the show was most excellent. Nice work with the music especially this week, Amy.

In the spirit of Colbert, here are tomorrow’s reports from tonight’s VP debate:
Left leaning sources – Palin clearly showed she’s unqualified and couldn’t handle herself in the debate.
Right leaning sources – Palin clearly showed she’s qualified and handled herself well in the debate.
Biden will barely warrant any mention from either side.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:19 am
Taken was fun even though Liam Whathisname looked like death warmed up.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 am

Re – Tonights debate
I predict we will see –
Long winded and condescending VS. “Yah, I’m gonna have to get back to ya on that.”
A “no win scenerio” for the Dems I should think.
If she knows her stuff he’ll look bad.
If she continues as she has been doing the last few weeks and he points out that she doesn’t know her stuff … he’s going to end up coming across like a school yard bully picking on the “special kid” while she’s waiting for the short bus.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:52 am
I expect every press release to mention something about what Palin was wearing or the style of her hair. *rollseyes*
There are not a lot of investors I trust, but in general, I do trust the instincts of Warren Buffet. Buffet had this to say on the bail out.
“And Buffett said taxpayers will eventually turn a profit on the $700 billion plan if the bailout passes and the U.S. government buys mortgage debt at market prices.
“We are not spending the money. If we buy these assets intelligently, the United States Treasury will make money,” Buffett said.”
I just wanted to throw that out for discussion. That sounds reasonable, but the danger of mismanagement still gives me pause. I can’t say that I’m convenced one way or the other. Take it away JOe.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:02 am
Maybe if Buffet is the one administering it. But, I fear that corruption, bureaucracy, and general mismanagement will lead to this ultimately being a money loser. The government will overpay their buddies on Wall Street for the properties, then sell them back at sweetheart deals. You and I will be financing the spread.
When have efficiency and government ever been in the same sentence….well, besides the one I just typed.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:04 am
The Economy Czar? Interesting.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
“Take it away JOe.” LOL
OK
“Buffett said taxpayers will eventually turn a profit on the $700 billion plan if …”
This is an easy one to poke holes in. The banks who ORIGINALLY bought all these now-worthless loans did so because they thought they would turn a profit.
They didn’t. In fact everyone now calls this stuff “bad debt” and “Worthless paper” … so why is it that if the taxpayer suddenly buys it … it will make money?
If this stuff really had a high percentage chance (or even 50/50) of making someone money … don’t you think that the BIG private investors (like Buffet) who make there millions on this sort of deal would be clamoring over one another to buy these bad debts and would be crying “foul play” in the media because BIG COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT was taking the opportunity away from them?
If this was such a good investment, private industry would be rushing in to buy this stuff (like they did with Wacovia Bank a few days ago).
Also … when did the U.S. government get in the business of taking tax money from you and me to gamble with on the stock market?
AND … if we the people are OK with that and DO want our government to get into the “making money through investments” game … there are a heck of a lot of lower risk/higher yield places to invest!
If the goal is “the taxpayer should make money” why don’t we just nationalize a few of these big oil companies!!!!
You knew I had already been thinking about this one, didn’t you Rhettro? :)

^That’s the alternate plan I read about that also sounds promising, without all the 700 big ones.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:46 am
BTW – I don’t have a better solution then the bailout. If we don’t do it then I think that eventually private investment WILL sort things out. In the meantime though, things for our pal Rhettro (and most of the rest of us) will get very uncomfortable.

Re: V.P. Debate
Based on who came closest to actually answering the questions that were ask … Biden won the debate. Based on who beat expectations by the most, Palin was clearly the winner.
In summary, Biden wasn’t “long winded and pompus”… and Palin’s head didn’t explode.
… and the beat goes on.

Farkin HP!
I get my tech goodies delivered today. This evening, I set about putting everything into the case, which, by all appearances is a standard ATX case.
…except for the panel connector. Instead of the usual separate power, LED, reset, etc connectors coming from the front of the case, HP has stuck them altogether to make a single plug. While I’m sure that’s great for the poor soul in Asia putting the thing together, it does me precious little good as the connector doesn’t match the normal ATX arrangement.
I’m now faced with the prospect of surgery on the cable, or getting a new case tomorrow. After this, I think I’m ready to get myself a shiny new box for my shiny new components.

RE: the debate. I didn’t see/hear the whole thing. What I did see: she feigned human well, stuck to her script, and avoided her typical Bushisms. Biden started off stammering and shaky, but made a few good counters against Dick Cheney as VP and the notion that he’s out of touch with the commonfolk.

I have to disagree Ed, most people pick their candidates for very selfish reasons.. from picking the person who looks and sounds like them, or who they would want to have a beer with, or play basketball with- to picking a candidate who upholds their own beliefs that they would like to see thrust upon all the American people.
I have no problem picking my candidate I’m part of the 60% of American voters who always vote in their party (30% dem, 30% repub.. its that other 40% of undecided voters that all these debates and campaigning are for). My party in general supports the things I want supported.. all this mumbo-jumbo they go through in debates is just nonsense to sway the undecided voter.
Candidate talk all their non-partisan crap, but in reality they are in a party and they will go 7 out of 10 times with their party. No person who claims they are a dem or a repub are 100% with their party. No ones record shows they always went with their party. But in general, overall, there are certain things you can count on whether you vote dem or repub and I think those things are pretty obvious. Debates and campaigning simply cloud the issue that is already there and obvious. Dems and repubs are fundamentally different and always will.
[forest gump] and thats all I have to say about that [/forest gump]
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:41 am
oh forgot 1 point I wanted to make in support of what I just said.. if McCain was such a Maverick to his own party, then why do all the repubs love him?
Cuz he’s a republican.. all that talk that both candidates do is all just talk to confuse you. In a primary you look at the candidate, in the general election you Look at the individual party and what that party belives in, not the candidates.

I actually saw $3.29 yesterday close to my house.

Welcome to the boards, Nomad Scry!
Today’s plans: Cleaning as much of the apartment as I can stand to clean, and going to a barbecue for my roommate’s birthday.
October 4th, 2008 at 8:07 am
Good Morning Deadpan. Welcome Nomad Scry.
I’m going to have a busy Saturday, errands to run, have to head into the office for a little while. And I owe some people recordings, and others writing. And I also need to do some cleanup around my apartment.
RE Gas Prices: In PA we’re around $3.50. Gas prices always peak in the summer, and from late November to January. You know when everyone is traveling and creating a high demand.

Thx everyone.
You’ve seen 3.29, Rhett? I think I’ve only seen the mid 3’s for gas around here.
ditto is back!
Happy and safe travel wishes to Justa J0e.
Here’s echoing the wishes for good Saturdays all around. . .

You know, I’m starting to regret Vista. It does not want to play nicely with my Itunes. I’m having to fight the security mightily to get my Ipod to sync up. I think I’ve got it, but I’ve had to go and cut Vista’s balls off to do it. It really shouldn’t of had to come to that.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:55 am
Ed, Vista won’t let me copy and paste my own files. I’m surprised the whole os isn’t just a message that says:
‘We don’t trust you to use your own computer. Just shut down now.’
October 6th, 2008 at 5:21 am
Filled the tank this morning. Gas is down another 10 cents to 3.29 a gallon. I wonder if it’ll drop below 3.00 before November?
Oh, and geez. Yall are a friendly bunch. Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m not used to that. Heh.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Morning, Deadpan! Hope everyone is doing well today.
October 6th, 2008 at 7:21 am
Morning Deadpan!
Morning Scry!
Van, saw the first episode of The Clone Wars my thoughts are:
What was with the strange fifties news reel style beginning? Then it just went down hill from there.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Haven’t had a problem with iTunes and Vista, but then I avoided the BSOD with the upgrade to iTunes 8.

Sleepy Mehnday. Morning Pan.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Welcome, Scry!
October 6th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Ed: I hear you. That’s one of the reasons why I haven’t “upgraded” to Vista yet. Oh, that, and it’s bad handling of compressed files. And a few other things as well. Vista does somethings really well, but others…. That’s why more than 1/3 of new computers are “downgraded” to XP.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Lets not forget the Netbook market which is giving XP a new lease of life (much to the disgust of some Linux advocates).
October 6th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I really haven’t seen a need for Vista, other than Direct X10, which hasn’t been shown to be much better than 9. Plus, I don’t have a cutting edge PC to run Vista on at the moment either. I’m hoping that Vista’s successor will have less bloat and user friendly features.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:04 am
What was with the strange fifties news reel style beginning?
The opening crawls that are now the trademark of the Star Wars movies were originally inspired by old serials from around that era. Maybe George (or someone) went back to that same well for more inspiration.
I agree with what marlodianne said about Vista. It’s like an overprotective parent who uses little words to talk down to his kids because they wouldn’t understand the big words. Big words like “IP address.” *sigh*
Another thing that Mr. Vista is always saying is, “Are you SURE you want to play with those other kids from Apple/that other computer/that other software company? You know, you can catch a bug from them… Bugs are EVERYWHERE…”
October 6th, 2008 at 11:43 am
I’m also frustrated with Vista, but I remember how much everyone hated XP when it came out. Patience. Your Vista decision will pay off in the long run.

October 6th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
EssBee: I know what you mean. Season 1 of Heroes might have had plenty of comic book cliches, but the story and the characters rose above it. But so far season 3 has rolled out several worn-out cliches. And that’s only in the first episode. Right now, I’d just rather watch and rewatch Life.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Everybody’s freaking out about the $700,000,000,000 one-time bailout.
I just heard on Rachael Maddow that the annual budget for the Iraq war is $560 billion yearly. We’re spending that much money to make our soldiers in the clay pigeons and build targets for insurgents to practice their tactics on.
As crappy as the economy is it leased its helping Obama.
To Nomad Scry, all the Republicans want to tell you that the economics and the consumer price is too complex for us to understand. Yet, the three-year-old can follow economic trends. Republicans with oil ties get into power suddenly the price increases by $2.50 at the pump. When the election cycle comes around suddenly that price drops. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

Does anyone else find the plot line to Dexter a little contrived. Brother and sister end up working in the same department as their father did. I understand law enforcement tends to run in families. I just find it odd that Dexter has a human foot sitting on his desk what looks like 17 feet away from a detective’s desk. Should me have a lab somewhere.
I enjoy the show’s I just wonder when Michael C. hall’s going to get her role that he doesn’t have to fondle body parts.

I’m sure I’ll hear about it tonight, Van.
Right now, I just got back from dropping him off at the vet. First no food, then the vet. I’m sure he really loves me now :)
October 7th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Morning, Pan!
I’m not sure if all 3 Latinos are dead on Heroes, but they sure are having a rough go of it, Van!
Been at work since 6 this morning — got the September accruals out just now, and now can focus on my real work.
October 7th, 2008 at 6:22 am
Van: There were sooo many mistakes in the show that it was impossible for me to suspend my disbelief. Even if my wife wasn’t a biologist that worked in a lab, I still would have noticed plenty of things that were wrong.
The writers poorly researched an thought up this episode. I realize they were trying to be more humorous, but…
1. It is impossible to confuse an oxygen cylinder with a liquid nitrogen canister.
2. You wouldn’t be able to freeze someone solid in that way.
3. If they were going to pay for the CGI for him shattering then they could have made him appear cold.
4. While small objects frozen solid may shatter, big ones do not. I’m tired of seeing that crap.
5. They have no concept of what a lab assistant does; nor what a janitor is allowed to clean up in a lab.
6. A lab does not produce pills. They make the active ingredient. The chemists in the research lab do not determine dosage. A pharmaceutical factory actually makes the pills–which are mostly filler.
7. How did the janitor know what was on the shredded document? Did he see her write it before it was shredded? And why would he hide it at work?
8. If you were going to steal pills, why steal the box?
9. Nothing is labeled poison in a lab since everything is potentially poisonous.
10. A bottle that would have hazardous fumes would be positioned under the hood so that you could not breath those fumes.
11. And how did he have the time to drive after inhaling all that crap?
12. And no lab would leave people, including investigators, unsupervised.
13. There were too few animals to be doing actual animal testing, and they would not be housed in the same room as the wet lab. And there would be dedicated technicians to care for them.
14. Scientists don’t consider good scientists heroes just because they work on cancer drugs. The consider them good scientists.
15. And my wife says: most importantly, scientists are not that creepy and don’t ask for bodily fluids when they are hitting on you.
That’s probably a good enough list for now. :)

I mean, really, it’s like they haven’t *met* a cat…
October 7th, 2008 at 7:44 am
The last episode of Life I saw was with the box killer.
October 7th, 2008 at 7:57 am
Van: *That* episode was excellent, and so was the one following it. The one I’m unhappy with was the 3rd. I’m sorry for the spoilers.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:00 am
While watching that episode, my wife asked me how I can watch shows about computers and not cringe. I told her I can’t.
I generally treat shows as if they were in some parallel universe where our rules don’t apply. Sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesn’t.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Marlo, I refuse to brush my kitties teeth. I do, however, mix some dental food in with their regular.
Right now, my other kitty seems very happy. as if saying “aha! now I have the attention all to myself!”
October 7th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Friskies dental diet is excellent for their teeth, and my guys totally loved it. We had to switch food brands when Pheen was diagnosed with diabetes though.
And, of course, now he had problems with his teeth because the new food doesn’t do crap for that. :/
October 7th, 2008 at 8:08 am
I use Science Diet. A little bit of wet in the morning for the one cat (the other cat doesn’t like wet food), then a mixture of senior and dental for them to snack on during the day. It was recommended by my vet way back when.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:08 am
My kitties have death fights when one or both gets back from the vet.
“Argh! You smell like hospital! You must die!”
Actually, since cats identify everybody by smell, I think they refuse to admit they know each other. So it’s really:
“Argh! A stranger! Die die die!”

Todays useless tip:
If you feel you can’t comment on a waitress’s new haircut cos you fear it will come over as creepy. Give up any notion of having social life and become a hermit.
Just remember to wrap up warm, caves can be cold and damp…

Rhett: I got your text message. We should definitely talk and coordinate tonight.
I srsly hope we’re not the “2 old guys” at the Opeth show.

Coolio, I’ll give you a call after work. Maybe we can pretend to be young meth addicts?

Why couldn’t both Smarty Hotties come?
OK. Rephrase.
Why couldn’t both Smart Hotties attend the concert? The 4 of us could rule the seniors’ pit.
