I've been in the market 141 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:30,840 for a small handheld or battery powered mixer. Marcus actually had a really good idea during the 142 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:37,240 Madonna tune, said, how about going to the pawn shop? There's a lot of musicians that need money 143 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,280 in San Francisco and it's probably been pawning everything, so it's a good idea maybe Friday morning 144 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:52,200 because tomorrow going up to Seattle, I'll give you one guess who I'm seeing up there should be 145 00:08:52,200 --> 00:09:00,920 interesting. It's been, wow, maybe, trying to think, it's probably been like seven years since 146 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:08,040 I've been up to Redmond, and of course there's, I think I told you about that, that a guy named 147 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:14,600 Aida Kuhers, who was a Dutch guy. I met a couple of years ago about four or five years ago in Holland, 148 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,720 he was just recently promoted up to some big muckery muck post up there and he knew us on the 149 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,720 West Coast, he said, I'll come on up and we'll talk and we'll do some stuff. I think that's kind of 150 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,720 turned into like we're meeting 50 people or something, but that's okay. Should be fun, it's always 151 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:35,560 good to find out what's going on up north. We're going to talk about today a couple of things. 152 00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:41,000 I don't know if I'm going to make it 40 minutes because it is now 10 p.m. and we have to leave 153 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,880 the hotel at a quarter to six to make the 7 a.m. flight, which of course is having me regret the 154 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:57,400 fact that we agreed to come on up. Last night was the Wired Awards, the Wired Rave Awards 155 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:07,240 in the legendary Fillmore. It was, I didn't know exactly what I was to expect from an award 156 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,480 show, you kind of expect that someone will be up on stage and announce nominees, they're 157 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,280 announced winners and maybe there's a short word of thanks or something, but it was none of that. 158 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,960 It was almost like, I remember parties like this in New York, MTV used to throw parties like this 159 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,960 with a whole bunch of people who were just way too cool and hit for the room and they all kind of 160 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,440 mall around, eyeing each other and you know, no one really talks because the music is just a little 161 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:37,800 bit too loud and there's perhaps the drinks flow a little bit too freely and it was weird, 162 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:45,720 it was, I mean the setting was great, it was beautiful. I didn't recognize one single solitary person 163 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:53,080 in the entire, well no, it's not true. I met C. Carl Jacob who he actually got me started in a lot of 164 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:59,400 stuff when he was at Sun and that was, well that was before I started on ramp. It was good to see him. 165 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,280 What he'd do, he had a company called Dimension X, he sold that and then what he'd do he went 166 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:12,920 on to work for Cloud Mark, I think. God no, he's in a kite surfing right now, so that was good to 167 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,720 see him and I think there was no, what's the, Mark is you know, what's the virtual, the guy 168 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,880 like the credit as the father of virtual reality with all the dreadlocks, Lanier, I mean I can't 169 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,360 remember his name. Well anyway, you know that dude with the dreadlocks? Yeah, he was there. 170 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:39,960 He was there. Oh, but I did not win by the way in the category for tech innovator, I was nominated for 171 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:49,080 iPodder. The award went to blog lines. I think he's, what does his name Eric? I think it is. 172 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:55,960 Is that Eric? You eat it? Oh, is that it? Yeah. Well, what, what, what? Check, right. Yeah, I've got 173 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,920 markers here doing all the show prep for me. This is great. Most prep. Well, 174 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:09,240 speaking, we check it. Exactly. I was really proud of Mr. Colehouse or you might pronounce his name 175 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,280 his cool ass. He's a Dutch architect. He won for best architect. That was very cool. 176 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,440 But so there was no announcement of the winner. It was just like, you know, there were screens and 177 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,440 they, and the screens rotated the nominees and then it highlighted the winner. I was like, wow, yeah, 178 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,840 okay, that's all right. And then the editor and chief got on stage and the mic was, you know, 179 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,840 he had a love mic on, which is like that sucked. That didn't work. He couldn't hear him at all. 180 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:38,440 And then Danger Mouse did a couple sets. He's the guy credited with bringing mashups to the 181 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,520 masses, although I think that mashups have kind of been around for a while, but he did that 182 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:49,160 the gray album, the Beatles mashup with Jay-Z. So that was definitely cool. We played that on the 183 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:55,640 source code. So, you know, that's awesome stuff that he's doing. And so around 10 o'clock, 184 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:01,000 he's like, well, all right. Let's go. That was really nice. Oh, and all the nominees did get this 185 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:07,800 block of, there you go. So I think it's a aircraft aluminium. And note, by the way, I say 186 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:13,720 aluminium, which is the correct pronunciation. It's not aluminum. That is not actually an alloy. 187 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,360 I think that exists. It's aluminium. So this is like block of, you know, what does it like? 188 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,720 It looks like a like a die. And the size would be, what does that two by probably two inches 189 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:32,360 by two inches by two inches by two inches? And little ribbon weighs a ton. And I asked the nominees 190 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,040 to walk around with them. Listen to this thing. Hanging around your neck like this big anchor. 191 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,560 So that was nice. That was kind of cool. But what was really nice is they had the new 192 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:53,800 the new addition of wide magazine, which is a whole thing about radio. I don't know if I 193 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,360 told you about this. But it's basically about the death of radio. And they feature 194 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:05,880 serious satellite radio in there. They feature some terrestrial digital broadcast thing, 195 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,400 which is on my clear channel and podcasting. And you remember, I went through all that work 196 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:17,400 in in South Beach to do these pictures with a great photographer, by the way. We, you know, we got 197 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:24,120 an Audi A8 that they rolled in specifically for the photo shoot. And we spent a couple of hours 198 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,360 doing pictures there. Not one of those pictures made into the magazine. But then we did something 199 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,520 with a photographer wanted to do. Because I was like the photo editor wanted that picture of the A8. 200 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,360 And the photographer said, I want you something else. And well, if you get the magazine, you'll see 201 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:43,320 it. It's a, it's a, it's a, basically a full page shot of my face, which would be extremely 202 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:49,480 frightening. Had they not luckily completely photoshopped it. So I look like a, like a plasticine 203 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:56,920 wax doll. So there's no lines. And, you know, it's, it's fake, essentially. And even it's 204 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,760 even saw some comments on on credit card on the weblog people saying, wow, what kind of, 205 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,200 what kind of makeup are you wearing? Well, no, please. I mean, that was, that's not what I 206 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:10,520 really look like. That is all photoshop. And by the way, any magazine you pick up, if you think 207 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,880 that any of those bodies, particularly women's magazines, if you think any of that is real, 208 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:21,960 no way, it's all photoshop. Not a single solitary picture makes it into any magazine these days 209 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,960 without being photoshopped. And by the way, if I see one more commercial of Kate Moss 210 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:33,640 with get the fucking London look and these, and this I, what is it, mascara that's supposed to 211 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:41,160 make your eyelashes look really long? Please, she's wearing fake eyelashes, okay? So it's a lie 212 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:49,960 and it's fake and that's what the cosmetic business is. It's two cents worth of mud and two 213 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:57,800 million worth of marketing. So wired awards. Yeah, okay. I would suggest doing it differently, 214 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,720 and I think they would probably get more mileage out of it for their own magazine if they did 215 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,880 a little more, and just a little more traditional sense of an award show because it's just 216 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,360 nothing to do with awards. But it was really nice and it was great being nominated and I really 217 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:19,000 appreciated that, but yeah, anyway, moving along. Just before I started the show, my Skype 218 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,760 bleeped. I thought I had an incoming message or a phone call, but it was actually an upgrade message. 219 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,960 And I did the upgrade and low on behold, we have some spiffy new features on Skype for the 220 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,160 Mac now. I had the voicemail feature. I don't know if that's not standard in it or not, 221 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,760 or maybe you still have to get invited. I do have that voicemail features. That's cool. 222 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:47,000 But now you can also finally do conferencing from the Mac. So it looks like Skype is really 223 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,760 moving up and I guess this is a stable version and love in it completely, especially now with the 224 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,480 trip I've been calling home. I try to call home every at least once a day, sometimes two times 225 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,760 a day, but to be able to do that and just talk for an hour on the phone, basically, 226 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:09,000 for almost no money, is a confusing Skype out is absolutely fantastic. These guys are on 227 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,120 something really, really big. Speaking of new applications, I bought a lemon out with a new 228 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,760 new beta version for the Mac. I've been trying that out. It looks really clean, really fast. 229 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:27,640 I've also worked on putting up a cleaner version of the directory for them, which is 230 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,600 now sucking in. So that works a lot faster. They've got a clean up buttons. You can basically 231 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,760 delete all those files that are hanging around. I'd still like to see a little more a little close 232 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:43,160 like a Tvo functionality where basically you say, after two gigs of stuff that you've downloaded, 233 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,320 start deleting it or whatever. There should be some kind of preferences that we put in there 234 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,400 that a little bit beyond just delete old stuff or whatever. But that's just personal taste, 235 00:17:53,400 --> 00:18:00,680 I guess. But it's looking really good. And there's a couple more two point out, even three 236 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,840 point out versions of iPodders coming along. So I'll try and keep you updated as much as possible. 237 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,400 I'm really fried. I'm not going to keep this. I'm not going to make this too long. 238 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:13,160 About 18 minutes into the show. I did catch the new bitty cast. I'll just play a little bit in the 239 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,840 background here. If you want to hear what goes on with an all-girl band and the stuff they talk about 240 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:25,800 is a whack. Just listen in for a second. What I really like about it is the stereo sound is 241 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,120 so nice. They've got it completely separated left and right channel. Listen a little bit of the 242 00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:35,560 bitty cast. The guy from B2 records like this record label. And then there was the man. That's Amanda. 243 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,160 One of those swing bands like Big Bed Booty Daddy or my command like that. And he's like, 244 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:45,320 well, you know, we made our record for a fraction of that cost and we're talking about how 245 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,600 cost efficiently they work. Yeah. And I totally met these girls in New York. They are so set up man. 246 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:57,400 They've got bitty's LLC. They've got lawyers. They've got a band fund. They're making money. I mean, 247 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,720 they're not really putting a lot of money in their pocket. They say not yet at least or not when we 248 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,640 spoke that could have changed immediately. But you know, they got money to record. They got money 249 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,080 to do their own tour support. It's just totally beautiful. And now with the bitty cast, 250 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,680 which you can find at bittycast.com, you can subscribe to the feed there. You know, live by 251 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,120 carously through them. I haven't even listened to this whole show. Let me see what's the length of 252 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:27,000 this one. This is from the 20th. It's a 26 minutes. I love well, of course. Well, you know, 253 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,200 they started out. They couldn't have started out any better to get my attention. Actually, 254 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,240 check this out. What were we recording now? You're doing a think of an intro. And so I 255 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:42,440 skipped the four of these at 16 loops. It's late. And we kind of do really. So get your attention. 256 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,920 Yeah, I thought it was. No, we have enough for our two people. That's true. 257 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:53,000 Each one of what? No. We got a lot of moves for it. But not 16. No, that's true. That's a little 258 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,280 you know. Okay. Well, if that is enough of the tease, then I don't know what is. Another podcast I ran 259 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,480 up a bump into something. I listened to it all the way through. It's just wow. This is such a tremendous 260 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:09,160 wealth of information stuff. I never heard about thought about, you know, it's the stuff that 261 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,760 usually have to go to college too to, and you know me, my academic career. You got to go to college 262 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,760 to learn this stuff. If you've ever wondered about the stars and the planets and astronomy in general, 263 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,320 you might want to check out slacker astronomy. Listen to a little bit here. 264 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:34,600 Welcome to show number negative three of slacker astronomy. A podcast about astronomy and just about 265 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,320 anything else that floats over our heads. Every week or so, we will bring you a summary of recent 266 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,480 news events from the world of astronomy. And during slow news weeks, we'll simultaneously cast the 267 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:51,880 Howard Stern Show. You know, for the ratings. This week's show is about big, bad space, big, bad empty space. 268 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:57,080 It's kind of space that exists in W's head. Or so it often seems. W's victory in November. 269 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,760 Don't you wish? Don't you wish that you had a professor who talked about astronomy that way, 270 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,720 comparing big empty space to what's in George W's head? I mean, that's beautiful. Really pretty smart. 271 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,160 And recent events show that outer space is not as empty or as tranquil as it generally appears. 272 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,640 When we look up at the black night sky, we see a lonely wasteland of isolated stars. 273 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,120 It may feel as if our planet is alone in a drift in an empty universe. What most of us don't 274 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:28,440 realize is the same sky that looks relaxed and calm is in fact fiery and active. Stars are exploding. 275 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:34,120 Galaxies are colliding. And even the soft little gas clouds and nebulas are shooting microwave lasers. 276 00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:38,840 So I don't want to give it all away. But basically, if you listen to this slacker astronomy podcast, 277 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,280 you'll be pretty worried about this explosion that happened 50 million light years away or a go or 278 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,920 what does it light years away or a go away? But if it's, if it's light years away, 279 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:57,000 then it takes, doesn't take 50 light years to get here? 50 light years or 50 regular years. 280 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:05,400 See, I stumped Marcus. 50 years in our time, a light year is the distance light travels in one year. 281 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:14,920 Okay. So that one million 800 and some, why do you know this stuff? 282 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,680 Anyway, you can find the slacker astronomy podcast through iPod.org, which is really heating up. 283 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:29,800 Thanks to some of the recent press that we've been getting. It's, I mean, normally we see about 10 to 15 284 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:36,840 new podcasts being listed a day. Now we're closer to 20 to 25. So it's really heating up. And by the way, 285 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:43,000 if you subscribe to the iPod.org RSS feed, you can actually have those come into your aggregators. 286 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,720 So you know, you wouldn't necessarily have to go to iPod.org all the time to see what's new. 287 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,720 And you know, you're pretty much, if you don't go there every single day, you're going to start missing 288 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,760 because it just has to scroll off the bottom at a certain point. But it's, that's just been, 289 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,120 just been phenomenal, the amount of podcasts that are coming online. I can hardly believe how much 290 00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:09,880 is happening. Let me see, before we get into this, was something else that I wanted to say that was 291 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:15,560 really, oh, yes, there was hold on. I have all my crap here on top of this article. 292 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:25,560 I was, number is ranting about the security, the airport security in New York. Was it a great article 293 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:33,640 in the San Francisco Chronicle? I'm just gonna find the front page. I can't find that. Anyway, 294 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:40,120 there's a security firm at San Francisco Airport SFO has been accused of cheating. 295 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:50,680 And what that means is that the home security office or whatever you call that will send 296 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:57,240 undercover agents to all the airports, of course, to see if they can penetrate security. So they've 297 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:03,240 got like bombs and guns and all this kind of this contraband stuff that you should box 298 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:10,120 cutters, whatever. You shouldn't be able to take on the plane. And so of course, they do penetrate 299 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:14,440 through the security, but what the security firm, which is a private firm, by the way, hired by 300 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:23,400 the government, basically performing in a governmental role, what they did is, if one of these 301 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,080 decoys, I guess, would penetrate their security. And what would happen is, they'd go through 302 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,960 security, they'd smuggle whatever through they had, so like a knife or gun and they'd say, okay, 303 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:41,800 listen, I'm an agent here and you missed this. They had a whole system set up of 1,200 cameras 304 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,320 where they would follow this guy, because what he would basically do is he would then go to the next 305 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,760 security checkpoint and try to do the same thing. And so, you know, well, they call it cheating, 306 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,760 essentially, they would hand off that information all the way down the line, so the guy would never 307 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:05,480 penetrate another checkpoint again. So that's one point, which, you know, all right, so that's happening, 308 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:17,080 but the meat of the story to me is that apparently they only catch 90% of what is taken through 309 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:27,480 the security checkpoints. The other 10% includes knives, box cutters, baseball bats, bricks, golf clubs, 310 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:37,160 and even ones in the past couple months, a small chain saw. So so much for your fucking security, 311 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,360 you know, all you need is, don't you need just like 1% to go wrong or just one little item, 312 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:51,640 please. Again, I will, I submit that the security at the US airports is there to make us feel safe, 313 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,840 it's horseshit, it doesn't make you any safer. Yeah, you always want to try and get the one whack job, 314 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,680 but essentially it would be much better to create something with winky, blinky lights and 315 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:09,240 retinal scans and radars and you walk through that with your luggage and, you know, you're then 316 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:14,200 scanned and, you know, you're approved and then you can go through, which means, of course, 317 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,280 they didn't check anything, but at least you'll feel a lot safer and isn't that what it's all about. 318 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,280 Fine, for the hit test. It's not going to be multiple choice. Every test is multiple choice. 319 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:35,720 With Yon, Poli. Hey, Yon! Hi, Adam. It's time for hit test number 14. 320 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,680 Right, I don't, but it's the 7th, number 13. What do you mean? So, the tricks will be played for you two times. 321 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,320 Okay, and afterwards you get five seconds to think about it. So, are you ready? I don't get my 10 second one. 322 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,720 Yon, Pharnam, you're the boy. Yon, Pharnam, you're the boy. Yon, Pharnam, you're the boy. 323 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,120 Okay, I'm going to stick with my answer. Yon, Pharnam, you're the boys. 324 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,280 What, for number two? 325 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,000 And once again, no idea about it. 326 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,040 I got to give up on that one. And this is number three. 327 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,200 Oh, yeah, I know this one. This song is actually one more time. 328 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:31,240 That's the first song I played on my first official radio game, Pointer Sisters. He's so shy. 329 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,760 I think. That's my five seconds. It's time for the answer. 330 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:46,040 Answer number one. Yeah. In today's hit test number 14.
