Podsuming for the 14th

  1. Writing Excuses 21: Humor
  2. Indiana Jim Adventure #22b – Spoiler-ific Review of Star Trek – Jim liked it a bit more than I did, but then, I never like the original series all that much. Spock was my favorite from back then and the same holds true for now. I couldn’t care less for Sulu and Kirk, but I really enjoyed all the other characters and performances.
  3. Touching the Monolith Episode 29: Geekrismas or Done With The Dildo – Interesting possible definition of geek toys: if one person can say “That’s stupid” and another person responds with, “I know! I have to have it!” then it’s a geek toy.
  4. Fourcast Podcast We are all made of stars – Ep. 10
  5. The Dreamer’s Thread episode 16
  6. An H.P. Lovecraft Christmas – Poem Four
  7. An H.P. Lovecraft Christmas – Poem Three
  8. H.P. Podcraft Episode 23 – The Music of Erich Zann – This may be my favorite story so far. It hints and implies but never says what is happening.
  9. Dan Carlin Hardcore History Show 31 – (BLITZ) Suffer the Children – Doesn’t quite make my head spin, but it does bring up a lot of interesting points.
  10. Tale Chasing Episode 30 – Interview with Agent Laurie McLean – I see why Tee and Pip are so enamored of Laurie. She seems to be full of the hard answers that I like. And I respect her little dig at Jordan, while wincing at the possible backlash.
  11. Variant Frequencies The Failed Cities: Hath a Darkness 04 – Constable Klimenko
  12. Litopia After Dark 18 Holes

Podsuming for the weekend

  1. Out of the Coffin Episode #54 – New Moon – Getting the “kids” perspective was nice.
  2. 27. Intro to Gaming: RPG – Lessons From A Geek Fu Master
  3. The History of Rome 76- Mock Triumphs
  4. Touching the Monolith Episode 28: 2001-451-1984
  5. The Dreamer’s Thread episode 15
  6. The Seanachai The Toughest Trees Ever
  7. Common Sense with Dan Carlin Show 165 – The Relative Decline
  8. Tale Chasing Episode 29: Writers Block

I was going to listen to the first half of the latest Second Shift, but it is overly compressed and essentially broken. I’ll have to try a new download, but I don’t have much hope.

Busy day in the Tribe

I actually hung around on Twitter today, while the east coasters got up and going. Turns out they were having quite a day too. Mur Lafferty‘s Pink Tornado celebrated a birthday today. JC Hutchins announced that his 7th Son will be serialized on Boing Boing. Justin Macumber said he’d sold his Pirates story. Mae Breakall‘s fancast is going to go weekly. PC Haring and Pip are going to be at a meetup sometime coming up soon. (I think it was the 24th.) And I think Mike Plested said he was up to something interesting too, but I’m not 100% on that one.

Anyway, back to the normal:

  1. Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History Show 30 – Ghosts of the Ostfront IV
  2. Fantasy Magazine presents Tanith Lee’s Clockatrice
  3. Harvey: Episode 13 – Chapter 13- Yeah! It is genre! Spooky spooky! I need more exclamation marks!
  4. The Incident at Station 23: Episode 2
  5. East Meets West 177 – Zombies end the recession – I’m really surpised to hear Roger and Patrick being so … affected by Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. I’m sort of used to Roger playing finicky devil’s advocate, but Patrick is a usually pretty up front about seeing the big picture. And it was nice to hear the Bite Club expert hop in on the Zombie vs Vampire discussion.
  6. TWS136.5 Micro Feedback
  7. TWS137: Things That Go Harumph In The Night
  8. Radio Isopod Episode 010: Customer Service – Uh oh. Is Pi more than she seems? Is ‘she’ a she?

Freedom for all or just for me?

A few weeks back I had a conversation with my brother about this idea I’ve been playing with for a while. The gist of  it is this, which is better; a homogeneous mix of peoples of all diversities and types or a total segregation? Oil and vinegar or thousand island dressing?

After getting over the whole impossibility of either extreme, just from a logistical point of view, we kind of agreed that a clumpy mixture halfway in between pure blend and total separation is probably not only best but also the balance point that humans and their society are naturally going to grow towards.

Today I was listening to Dan Carlin’s Common Sense podcast about how it seems like the political situation in the States is getting kinda depressing, where we are so different that it barely seems worth the fight to come together. And when he brought up the idea of states seceding, I started thinking that it was perhaps time for me to get a copy of the fabulous Mr. Tom Merritt‘s Boiling Point. And that I feel like it would both be best for the country (hell, for the whole world) if the US split up into little state countries and that it would also be utterly horrible, leading to segregation, hate, and repression.

Okay, to explain a little bit. First off, Tom’s book Boiling Point is about the future when the US isn’t so united anymore because states have been breaking off into their own independent countries. Or at least that’s the impression I have, since I haven’t actually read the story yet.

I like the idea of breaking the US up because I realize that freedom for me means that everyone gets to believe whatever bullshit they believe. I’m not sure how to articulate this idea fully, but the idea is that while I find people who disagree with same sex marriage repugnant, I also believe that their freedom to believe (wrongly) is being impinged when we do the right thing and bring equal rights to all. If, for example, South Carolinian (I chose them ‘cuz I hate SC) decides to disallow homosexuality and, why not, colored people (including those damn no good injuns)…

Yeah, see, I can’t even make the argument FOR breaking up without devolving into why it is a terrible idea.

So extend this further. If we mandate freedom for all on people who don’t believe in freedom for all, don’t we dimish their freedom? But isn’t it the greater evil to not allow the equal freedom for all? So shouldn’t we be out busting up other countries to MAKE FORCE them to have freedom for all also?

I mean, that sounds like an obvious wrong idea, but isn’t that what we did as a country in the civil war? Aren’t we all rpoud of ourselves for forccing the south to stay in the country, for forcing them to become “better people”? So doesn’t it follow that we should continue to FORCE betterment?

Doesn’t that lead to double ungood?

I’m so fed up with the fear mongering, hate, and lies in goverment, but.. well, what do I expect from a gigantic group of humans animals who can barely remember to think even some of the time?

Humpday Thanksgiving

  1. BOL 1062: Three-way 4G
  2. Comic Book Outsiders Episode 57
  3. PodCastle 069: The Olverung – I’m not sure if I like the idea of a bird that makes you happy by making you cry when you hurt it. It’s kinda disturbing really. So hurrah for a good story, eh?
  4. Goblin Market Episode Nine – I keep forgetting that Him is green and horned. It makes a big mental difference when I do remember.
  5. Psychology 1106 (Fall 09) – Introduction
  6. Common Sense with Dan Carlin Show 159 – Changing Our Destiny
  7. StarShipSofa Aural Delights No 99 Lawrence Watt Evan – I liked the idea of an emotion dump.

38:25 | 47:44 | 41:25 | 6:19

Mr. Mike Plested presents a good reason why the list should continue. See yesterday’s post for his comment.

Chills are shaky

  1. Writing Excuses Episode 10: Pacing
  2. Writing Excuses Episode 11: The Business of Writing
  3. The Secrets Special Edition 07: Getting Started – Beyond how utterly useful these ancient episodes still are, I find it amusing to hear about how things used to be. There simply is no TSFPN.com anymore. Compared to herself, Mur Lafferty is the epitome of confidence nowadays.
  4. The Secrets Special Edition 08: Editing, part one
  5. The Dreamer’s Thread episode 2 – So far this one feels like a fairy story but without the fairies.
  6. Nobilis Erotica 136 – Awesoment 17 – Zombie
  7. QattusVerse #3: Excerpts from “My Life among the Olidiem” -
  8. SteamPod Episode 11: “The Queen of Clockwork.”
  9. Dan Carlin’s Common Sense Show 158 – Geopolitical Pneumonia
  10. ISBW #124 – 4 Year Anniversary / Neil Gaiman Interview! – Happy Birthday ISBW!
  11. Nina Kimberly the Merciless Episode 7
  12. BOL 1051: Firefox 3.5, now safe for porn
