GIF podsuming

  1. BOL 1030: SSL is SOL
  2. PC Miniature 36: To-Do List – Significantly unimpressed with this meander. If someone understands this, please explain it to me.
  3. 8. Geekgasm – Lessons From A Geek Fu Master
  4. The Phileas Club – 15. Our Chinese overlords – An extra good episode in a 15 long straight series of good episodes. They still need an eastern member. Perhaps a @chosumbimbo or some such.
  5. Touching the Monolith New Episode – Unlucky 13 – The guys talk about the upcoming alien invasion.
  6. Wander Radio Episode 42 – Don’t Panic – No Meg’s picks?! I love the contrast going from dirty lyrics to a touch of class. Good one, Wolf.

4:34 of podsumation.

Thursday was too long

  1. BOL 1029: Microhoo: Friends with benefits
  2. Der Geek Folge 31: Ab und zu sind wir da
  3. Get Published, Episode 10a – Interview with JC Hutchins (Pt 1)
  4. Wander Radio I-08 The Bedlam Bards
  5. Tumbler Episode 4

3:51 hours of Podcast comsumption occured. Looks like my average is trending downward. I’m pretty sure that is mostly due to how bad things have been running at work AND because I have started writing again. Hooray!

Daily Podsuming List for TODAY

  1. BOL 1028: The Del Conte Cartel
  2. Dan Carlin’s Common Sense Show 156 – The Upside of the Downside
  3. #021 – The S&L Podcast: A Game of Thrones
  4. Nina Kimberly Companion Episode 6B
  5. Harvey: Episode 4

3 hrs 52 min of podcastery goodness. My queue has finally fallen under a gig and with less than 23 hours, I’m starting to wonder if I will actually finally catch up on my year goal of getting my podcast addiction under control.

Tuesday’s Child is a Podcast

  1. Buzz Out Loud 1027: What’s your major smellfunction? – Well, perhaps a little too much energy.
  2. Podiomedia Chat Episode 57: Kimi Alexandre
  3. Podiomedia Chat Episode 58: Jack Ward
  4. Heaven Season 5: War 08
  5. Bonus Episode – Futures in Biotech Episode 43 – Temporal Alien Mammoth Overlords – My RSS podcatcher doesn’t care for posts with multiple enclosures. So I didn’t actually listen to FiB. I listened to some thunderbird six thing. Which was fine. But I’m not going to take the effort to find and download the actual episode.
  6. Jack Mangan’s Deadpan #132: Non-Playa Character – THAC0!

4:10 of podsuming on this fine day.

Curmudgeon

I follow too many people on Twitter. I think that maybe it was @breakall or that perhaps it was @choochus who posted a link to Alice and Kev. Either way, this is the story of two Sims 3 characters moved into a vacant lot and stripped of their goods.

I think that it is an interesting experiment in story-telling, game-play, and artificial-intelligence. I’m vaguely interested in finding out what will happen next. But 30 seconds in the comment section and I find myself vowing to destroy humanity and let nature pick out the next ascendent species.

I can never make up my mind if people just act stupider on the internet because of the faceless aspect of things, or if this is just how the vast majority of human beings really do think.

Or rather, do not think.sims3

Podsuming in an age of fork

  1. Buzz Out Loud 1026: Donald is nonstick
  2. Media Frenzy Show 24 – It’s an all Jack a thon. Jack, Jack, and Jack with Teesachu and Kimi left out. More Jack bitte!
  3. TS77: Coming To You From 40,000 Feet!
  4. PodCastle 62: The Fiddler of Bayou Teche – Normally the whole bayou genre of stories get a bit under my skin, but this one was just good. Perhaps the difference is having a good voice?
  5. Touching the Monolith Episode 12 – Shorter, and Missing People – Left me hanging, wanting more. Bastards.
  6. Into the Dark Episode 049 – And Suffer the Little Children
  7. PGOC 078: Memorable Characters
  8. StarShipSofa Aural Delights No 94 Jeffery Ford – Another really well done story. I kind of had this one figured out early on, but it traveled so well that it was effecting me emotionally anyhow.
  9. Dead Robots’ Society Episode 92 – Kevin J Anderson Interview – His disposition on writing as a business sounds oddly similiar to Mike Stackpole. Well, not so oddly, since those are the only two workhorse writers I’ve heard interviews with. I haven’t heard much from Sigler, but I what little I have makes me think he probably has a similiar attitude.

5hrs 57 mins of podsuming.

My airs and iskers

I’m late!

  1. Buzz Out Loud 1024: Kilo-sode
  2. Bite Club Podcast – Episode 2

I got halfway through an episode of StarShipSofa and at the 1 hour mark, I accidentally hit the back button. Ugh.

I R Awesome

Yesterday Twitter sent me a message to let me know that they were temporarily disabling my updates. It seems that I had exceeded the 1000 SMS message a day limit.

Dude! Hahaha.

So between roughly 2:30pm and 5:00pm Eastern I did not get any tweets. That’s okay though because I had more than enough to keep me busy/engaged/not being productive for many many hours of happy distracted time.

And today, I remembered to turn OFF the SMS updates when I got home from work. I don’t want Twitter to get pissed off at me and make me go cold turkey. I get the shakes when I can’t have my Twitter fix.twitter_logo

Red soda + white carpet = bad
