Actually, Mr. Wolf, I’ve been inconspicuously tapping away on the computer in the far corner of the room working on fleshing out a certain other work of fiction. Slower going than I would really like. Always heard it was harder to edit your fiction than to write, but never believed it before. Want to get at least 7 episodes in before committing to recording and actually kicking off the podcast…
Damn, am I copping out on this whole thing? I’ve been talking up the thing for a couple years now…
CP: Sound Opinions with Indigo Girl Amy Ray
CP: Past the Mission — Tori Amos
A little insight into what I’m thinking of doing when I do finally release the “Really Big Podcast…”
–A set of three “pilot episodes” to be released graciously in the Deadpan feed. (Thanks, Jack!)
–Well, obviously the Revamped “Really Big Things” novella, released episodically.
–Location audio from the “Art Shanty” project later this winter.
–Some audio before & after a screening of “Hard Candy” viewed by Travis and other friends you initially met in the Pre- and Post- “300″ clips (this hasn’t happened yet, I hope to spring this on them soonish)
–”Man on the street” content, possibly every episode, possibly recorded onsite at a local comic or scifi bookstore TBD
Thanks, Nomad Scry.
Still not fully caught up.
That Pac-Man song is definitely pretty funny, WNDR.
So today I discovered that Pear cider doesn’t taste that much different from Apple cider…which is just WRONG.
CP: Machine — Violent Femmes
Van, apparently pear cider is generally made from a blend of pear and apple juices, so it’s not that odd…

Thx JB, tonight was the first time I tried the stuff.
Van, Pear cider is what is available in breweries when non-beer-drinkers like me are thirsty. I actually like it better than the apple cider, but they are definitely similar.
Wonders of the “random article” link in wikipedia, part 2:
Science Fiction author Gene Wolfe developed the machine that cooks Pringles.
http://tinyurl.com/35k7eg
I found it had a slightly milder taste.
I have to go easy on the stuff these days..prone to blackouts if I have too much cider.
Van, are you serious?!
Oh yes, I have a scar on my nose when I blacked out and fell down the stairs.
Only happens with cider.
There might be moonshine in that cider, Van.
Storm clouds are gathering in Colorado. Bunny, dammit, I told you to keep that storm up north.

I’ve had 2 pretty good Skype conversations today.

A “Stratodive” had played a big part of my first-ever published short story, “The Last Cyberpunk”, so that made this especially thrilling for me to watch.
In the first reboot of Dan Dare that 2000AD did in the late 70s, they had DD entering the atmosphere in space suit that could standup to the heat of re-entry.
Jack, that is awesome.
You guys might just like my better half more than you like me. She works for NASA programs at the U. of Colorado in Boulder and is involved in all kinds of very exciting space “stuff.” I’ll have to get ahold of photos taken from balloon sats that they launch and post and share them.
Sounds cool Essbee.
Time to call it a night, a p56 entry from me:
You should recall from Chapter 5 that sulphur dioxide poses a continual enviromental hazard at persistently degassing volcanoes, as well as sometimes heralding an eruption.
-Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis by Dave A. Rothery
As I recall, Star Trek: Generations was supposed to open with Kirk doing and space dive like that, but it got axed.

But then maybe the opening sequence of Generations could have been as long as the Star Trek: The Motion Picture only this time with interesting footage.
JohnBoze: Getting at least 7 episodes in before starting a podcast is a VERY GOOD IDEA. Don’t give up now! Your plan looks great! I especially love the title. :-)
And btw WNDR, thanks for playing my songs in your latest episode.

For me, the really cool thing about the “falling to earth” video was the audio!
I can’t say I had ever heard that before. At times it almost sounded like an orchestral soundtrack. The occasional creaks and groans of the vehicle as it was stressed was pretty cool as well.
For those who woot, I hear there may be a wootoff starting tonight. http://www.woot.com
Morning Pan,
Always thought ST:TMP got a bad rap. More a noble failure than a complete disaster. At least they tried to do an intelligent scifi story and the original ST cast were young enough to look like they could still do the job without the need of zimmer frames.
The news about job losses on the TV is eerily reminiscent of the early 80′s.
Happy Birthday the computer mouse:

Ah, fuck me. I did not think about the trackback when I posted my daily podcasts. I’m sorry for polluting the board. Gah.
No worries at all, NS. Hell, it helps boost comment totals ;)
Mush night, good.
Thanks Mr. Jack, but it still looks like crap.
“If you hear somebody sneeze, don’t say ‘God Bless,’ just say manganeseâ€
I hope somebody was chanting manganese for me tonight. I have turned into Rudolph.
Morning Pan!
Poor kitty will be getting her shots today.
Good Morning, Pan. :)
TEB – Much comfort to your kitty. I’m a kitty-lover myself.
I haven’t slept for real in days. My personality is completely chemical. Though, switching to “high energy” tea today in place of coffee. Stupid insomnia.
Jack M – Sir you are very welcome. Other projects are still pending.
My kitty hates other people. She’s the perfect watch cat, in that she’ll howl, hiss, etc whenever anybody visits. However, this is a bad thing when it’s time to go to the vet. Because of this, she actually goes in early (just dropped her off) and they have to sedate her just to give her shots.
Poor kitty
Just for the record Pan. CJ is kicking my butt in facebook scrabble. I bow down and supplicate myself to my superior.
Morning, Deadpan! Another slippery drive to work. Ah, December.
TEB: I’m sure EssBee is glad to hear that.
EssBee: We’d like you SO differently, not better than you. You should tell her to drop by. :)
Now, off to smack my head against my desk some more. I’m sure I’ll get to like it eventually.
Stuck in traffic, going to be late getting home.

Never thought of MD as a singer before.
Off to do some shopping. Looking for something particular for my SS gift. Not as easy to find as you would think.

500!
TEB, You are silly. It’s just the luck of the letters.
Time to drop daughter at sitter and take son to his art class where he will make something beautiful for me to hang on the wall.

It’s not a real Tuesday if you don’t get a 2001 reference in.
The Daily Show was brilliant last night in its coverage of Canadian politics.

I’m not sure if you can see this, Van. Sorry if you can’t.
“It’s just the letters.”
Bunny, she’s whipping me too.
Van, it isn’t that easy to find a SS gift – I concur.
I appologize to our friends from the North in that … without the Fake News show I would have had no idea that your government was attacking itself.
Prime minister disolving parlement becuase he doesn’t want them messing with him?
PLEASE don’t let this idea get back to Dubya! Please oh please oh please!!!!

Well, I’m one very sad bunny. Went to seven different stores and have called four others (so far) and still can’t find what I’m looking for. I think I may have to settle.
I give up. I called every store in the book and they don’t have what I want.
Amazon has a wide selection of what I’m looking for. Without giving away to whom or what I’m giving. Would anybody mind if I ordered from Amazon and had the item shipped directly to them? It would be pt. 1 of a double gift so one would come from Amazon and one from me. Any objections?
I would have Amazon ship to me then ship it on but, by the time I got it, it would probably be too late for it to arrive by Christmas.
Oh, oh oh! Amazon.com has what I want. Not Amazon.ca! May have to rethink this whole gift idea. Damn.
Since my house will be full of people on Saturday for my annual Christmas party, I feel the need to mop my floor today. Mopping is so not my favorite.
Cj – I assume this is with a wet mop?
TEB I had to send my SS gift straight to the person.
I think, given the time frame, having any of these gifts shipped straight from Amazon or whomeever is the way to go. That was actually my plan for this year. Now I just need to remember to actually get on to Amazon and make my order.
Same here. I like the idea of shipping via Amazon, although the idea of personally wrapped things is more my giving style… I’d rather send a cool gift.
It’s not actually a mop. It’s an enviro-steamer.
So, not only is it sloppy and wet… it’s also hot and steamy.
Ooerrr
My problem was finding a company that would ship to an address that wasn’t my home address. The one I found didn’t do gift wrapping. so I apologise in advance for that.
I’m probably going to still miss the end date by a few days (was given a 7-10 day delivery window)
..and realistically the person in question is going to know who sent the gift as soon as the look what country it came from.
Ok, my SS gift is away. Turns out Amazon.com will take orders from CDNs, also.
Also sent my “consolation” gift I picked up just in case. I don’t remember it being this difficult last year.
Now to get my cat from the vets.

My SS gift is away too! Lunch time project – check.

I joined your Secret Santa fun. Be afraid. j/k I sent my giftage as well. It makes me all gooey inside to send people things!
Van, two different friends sent me that virus e-mail – I knew it was immediately. I fear for my less tech-savvy friends.
Here’s a good gift suggestion for the ladies:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17842157
Wouldn’t that be grounds for divorce?
Only if you failed the Saving Throw.
Jack that’s hot! Marry me! LOL
I wonder what Teresa would think of that? Hmmm…
It kind of bums me that I thought about making my own D20 keychains and selling them on Ebay, and there they are.
Rhettro, you two obviously can’t get married. Sheesh.
Well, Jack ain’t much of a tax shelter anyway. So Jack, how bout dinner?
Clearly there is something wrong with me. I sent the link to my husband because I actually like it. My dice are green though. I’d want it in green.
Yes. I really do have my own dice. Do not judge me.
Don’t think I’ve quite got the hang of flirting on facebook.
Practice makes perfect, Van.
Wise words Essbee..wise words.
Night pan.
Don’t judge you? Have you seen my slideshow of geek?
http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/rhettro1/?action=view¤t=0a61454f.pbw
Rhettro, I do really love Jack’s dice, but THAT is hot.
Rhettro,
Soooo… hey… uhm… I’d like to come play with your toys! ;-)
Hey Pan!
I like the pendant also. And, like CJ, I have my own dice too (several sets)
Howdy all!
I am rearing my head for the S.S. this year. Even though I’m kinda busy and not around I still wanna give!
-Jeremy
It’s not the giving, it’s the receiving… oh wait.
Are we talking about gifts. . . .? Or. . . .?
cough
Gee Jack, are you catching Van’s cough?
I hear Van has been doing some Facebook flirting.
cough
And on that (thoroughly gutter) note, I once went to an all female Christmas party. My person was the hostess,who was single, so I gave her her own BOB. I dressed it in clothing in everything. She thought it was a hoot.
Thanks CJ & Essbee,
You’re both welcome to come over and play with my toys anytime you want. :)
And.. holy shit was that Jeremy? Hey dude, how’s life treating you?
TEB: Her own BOB? Is BOB an acronym for something? Did he come with his own air pump?
Battery
Operated
Boyfriend
silly Rhettro *rolls eyes* :)
Oh, I thought BOB might have stood for Bulbous Orange Banana.
Wasn’t that a robot in the Black Hole movie?
cough
Now it really is night pan.
Behemoth Oblong Baton?
Night Van. Sweet dreams.
*ignores other comments*
Well that’s better than Microsoft Bob. :)

Big Ole Boy
Blimey! Oh Boy!
I don’t think we’d get as much enjoyment from Microsoft’s version.
Husband called. On the way home. Time to make supper.
Later, Pan
Especially when the words “micro” and “soft” are applied. L8r TEB.
The MS Bob is probably more prone to crashes and viruses. . .
Ooh, looks like Jack just showed me how to save $11.00! I’m not likely to make much use of the old D20′s anyway. :)
Buy yourself something nice with that $11, Ed. :)
btw Rhett, dinner would be great – we definitely should! (but I won’t put out. I don’t care how big your dice are.)
That’s a relief. LOL We never did get to talk about the finer points of Opeth.
Damn u, Amazon!!!!

Deadpan instant funny replay moment from Ep 99:
Jack sez: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
Background effect add in: HA-HA!
Hugh sez: Babe, your instant replay moment doesn’t seem to work well
I knows! It made me laugh though :)
Hugh sez: We laughed, thats all that matters
Van: No worries about your gift recipient knowing who sent the gift. In the past, neither of the people who have sent me presents have hidden the return address on the package. How about the rest of you who have participated in Deadpan Secret Santas before?

Re secret santa return addresess
the first secret santa I tried to address my package *snicker* from Santa Claus and the PO here in Chicago wouldn’t let me. They sez if they dont have a valid return address they wouldn’t deliver it and confiscate and open it.
Last year we had some issues here in Chicago and I had to send iTunes gift certificates via email from Hugh and my secret santa
So yeah, mine have been obvious methinks. No worries
Ok so where were we????
