Another week, another Curmudgeon’s Corner. We’re up to 11. Woo. In any case, this week’s topics:
This is the tenth show of the year. Woo! We haven’t done all too bad with this so far. And judging by the history of the first nine weeks, we’ve been averaging about 7 listeners a week. Well, downloads actually… so some of those folks may not actually be listening, but at least they are downloading it. OK, seven isn’t a huge number. But it is more than I expected when I started to be honest. So, thank you to all of our many listeners. If you are enjoying it, please feel free to tell your friends about it. And we do like comments and feedback, so comment here or send me email if you have anything to say! Anyway, this week Ivan and I talk about:
A few minutes ago I released the 9th Curmudgeon’s Corner of the year. Once again Ivan bailed (some vacation or something) and I had to improvise. You will, as usual, get insightful and exciting commentary on the most pressing items facing the world today. Uh, and other things. In any case this weeks topics:
I’m going to start using the Episode title in the blog post title rather than the date. In any case, this is our 8th Curmudgeon’s Corner of 2007. This time we did much better from a technical perspective, and you won’t hurt your ears listening. One quick note: Ivan gave me a heads up that he will be out of town and unavailable next weekend, so if anybody wants to volunteer to co-host, let me know. I record Sundays at 16 UTC (That’s Noon Eastern, 9 AM Pacific) although the time can be a bit flexible. All that is required (I believe) is an AIM compatible IM client that can do audio chat and a willingness to spend half an hour or so talking about current news or tech related issues. If you are interested, please let me know. If not, next week will be another Sam monologue. Anyway, this week Ivan and Sam talk about:
OK, this is the 7th Curmudgeon’s Corner of the year. Fair warning though… it sucks. It sucks pretty badly. We had a lot of technical difficulties this time, with parts or all of the recording getting zapped a total of three times. The last time, we were actually recording it simultaneously in two different ways, and when one crashed we still had the other. But the other was extremely low quality, with my voice way too loud, and Ivan’s way too soft, and recorded all on one track so I couldn’t just correct both volumes once and be done with it. Instead I had to boost the volume when Ivan was talking, and pull it way down when I was talking. This is somewhat sloppy. I did my best, but it still sucks and is pretty hard to listen to. There are several effects of all this, but the MOST noticeable is what is responsible for the name of this episode. This episode is entitled: “Darth Sam Breathes on Ivan”. This week Sam and Ivan discuss:
The sixth CC of the year, released late yesterday, is entitled “Law, Law and the Law”. Ivan had technical difficulties this week, so this week Greg Haverkamp joined me, and we spent the first half or so of the show discussing his response to last week’s podcast. Then we moved on to another legal issue Greg has been researching recently. So this week Sam and Greg discuss:
Yesterday the 4th Curmudgeon’s Corner of 2007 was released. This time the title is “Politics, Politics, Politics… and Beeps”. Ivan once again joins me and we blab about a variety of things for the longest CC so far of the new era, clocking in at just over 26 minutes. As the title would indicate, this time the topics were almost all politics related. Next week I’m thinking we’ll go for a more tech theme. But this week… politics. Sam and Ivan talk about: |
