It won’t be the last time, Hope. Also, don’t forget that we mentioned you a few episodes back, as you were the one who sent us the Nabaztag story.

Flapjack Asian Titties….
October 7th, 2007 at 12:27 am
I believe “flapjack lil’ China titties” was the exact phrase.
Just to clarify.

I can certainly see that the Stem Cell “reassignment” treatment will be like Botox and all that crap in the years to come. It won’t be made for Cancer recovery – the cosmetics firms will take it and brand it for themselves.
You are right – there are so many things Scientists need to focus on other than how to make boobs bigger by injection!
Butt Art: That actually looks artistic. Better than some of the dire art that wins awards here in the uk, some woman submitted her unmade bed with beerbottles and condoms, and won a big award for it’s “Realism” – for f#@ks sake people!

Weird. For some reason, Rowley, WordPress posted the link to that photo before your text comment. For a moment there, I thought maybe you were trying to start a 4chan thread.

weird!

Why are those friggin’ “quality” cables so damn expensive? There’s always this sticker on the package that says “you will hear the difference!” so you won’t buy the cheaper ones. Maybe the cheaper ones are just as good, but if they’re not you’re down $4 and for some reason that’s not a risk i’m willing to take. “$39.50? Yes i think i’ll take those, sir. Oh, and a traditional Japanese Hori Hori weeder knife to open the package.” I get fooled every time…

When I used to do my BIG AUDIO days – I mentioned this on my show the other week – I had Solid Core Electrical Cable (you know the grey stuff you would run in walls?) for speaker cable. I used to have Monster OED leads (at around $20/metre) with gold connectors – but found that the solid electric stuff DID make a difference.
Now of course my hearing is shot and so it makes no odds what the quality is.
AND
with this day and age of compressed audio – mp3s and mini discs it makes no odds because of the quality.
Oh, gone are the Audiophile days

Do you think that gold connectors really make a difference, Rowley? I play guitar and have a Fender strat and old Pearl amp hooked up to an ever older Elk bass speaker cabinet (the whole thing is huge) and needed a new cable. But all they had was one with gold connectors. Who needs gold connectors on a guitar cable, doesn’t make it sound any louder or does it? FYI My my hearing is shot also

I have so much stuff from Radio Shack at this point, that it doesn’t even matter to me what the brand or alleged “quality” levels are for cables, adapters, etc. Just give me something that works. And that’s why I wound up with that $25.00 cable. I needed it, and it’s what they had at that particular shop. I had another ordeal today in tracking down audio adapters. Look forward to that story on the next show.

I’ll look forward to that story but please, don’t include a review of “The Cable Guy”.

I heard about you guys on Twitter. You really should get some Lysol for those mics, so Jen’s plague doesn’t spread. We let one of our show hosts sit in sick and it damn near destroyed our whole show. I agree, she is probably faking it, but at least she is out there “blowing tubes”, or whatever you guys call it on the west coast. Gotta keep the school kids awake somehow, right?
I cannot STAND the Skype… It’s 7 to 8 hundred for the hybrid real phone/phone card for the pc, and we are totally going with that. I have used all kinds of voip, and between the echoes, the cropouts, and the pausing, I just can’t go back to it. Easier to fake calls. Oh well, if it was simple, we would all be doing it, or something. I wish you guys luck with the new setup.
Production sounds good. I’m enjoying the show, and appreciate you turning me on to it! I’ll be back again.

Thanks for checking out the show, geoff. This business with Skype is our first attempt at integrating phone/voip into our podcast, so we’ve no idea what to expect. It’ll be an adventure for sure.

Dave,
Gold plugs – not not really – I was a bit of a muso geek then. now I really dont think it matters with music compression and all that now.

I don’t want to be nasty but I have to say it. If they’re putting fat into breasts, could you pump grease out of them? “HONEY, we’re out of vegetable shortening!”

Many, many years ago I was one of the website managers for a large, extremely well-known Minnesota-based electronics retailer. As such, I was entitled to the good ol’ employee discount: “company cost plus 5 percent.”
So, not much happened when we bought TVs or computers; believe it or not, they sell those things pretty well at cost. But when it came to accessories — things like noise-free audio cables and connectors — the employee-discount deal always worked out amazingly well.
Those $20 audio cables? Try $1.70. $80 headphones? $16. Accessories, indeed, are where they make their profit.
So not that I would recommend such a thing, but if you have a friend with a similar discount, you could score some new cables on the cheap. Who knows, you could re-cable your whole setup and still save enough money to help the less fortunate, like someone with those little flapjack titties… ft
