Delta Shara Charlie 213. Hello
everybody. Welcome to the daily
source code coming to you from
San Francisco, California.

00:10.000 --> 00:19.000
The time now is 17. Actually, I
watched a little fast. It was
about 15 a.m.

00:20.000 --> 00:28.000
And I am at the, I can actually,
I can tell you where I'm at. I'm
at the Pan Pacific Hotel, which
is right near Union Square in
San Francisco.

00:28.000 --> 00:39.000
And I can tell you that now
because by the time you hear
this, it's Sunday night and
it'll be Monday morning when you
probably hear this or Monday
afternoon. I've been checked
out. So no sense,

00:40.000 --> 00:49.000
It makes no sense to call the,
to call the hotel in the middle
of the night and wake up, which
has happened the last couple of
times, I've actually mentioned
where I was staying.

00:49.000 --> 00:52.000
Today's been a production day
for me.

00:52.000 --> 00:56.000
Been very busy working on a
number of projects.

00:56.000 --> 01:09.000
One is the Spike Lee inside man
podcast, which is this concept
that we have of a shadow cast.
We have a shadow cast or follow
someone around in this case.
It's Spike Lee.

01:09.000 --> 01:12.000
On the set of his new movie
inside man.

01:12.000 --> 01:22.000
So I had some production to do
on that as you know, I produced
a lot of that on the plane
actually on the way over from
from London.

01:22.000 --> 01:27.000
And excuse me. Oh, a sense of a
moment.

01:27.000 --> 01:36.000
I just finished up cutting all
the tracks and doing the
pre-production or the secondary
part of pre-production,

01:36.000 --> 01:40.000
because the pre-production of
course is the selecting of the
shows and the clips.

01:40.000 --> 01:45.000
Man, it's actually quite a lot
of work goes into the, into the
pod finder podcast.

01:45.000 --> 01:55.000
I'll tell you about that as I
take you on a trip of, I don't
know, just to walk around the
neighborhood here near my hotel,

01:55.000 --> 02:02.000
which as I said is right near
Union Square, famous for its
shopping extravaganza.

02:02.000 --> 02:09.000
You kind of get everything all
in one spot here in San
Francisco.

02:09.000 --> 02:15.000
You can walk one block and be in
a neighborhood you might not
want to be in around 130 in the
morning.

02:15.000 --> 02:20.000
And I don't know really. I've
never walked around at 130 in
the morning, so let's go.

02:20.000 --> 02:25.000
I'll tell you about everything
that I've been doing.

02:25.000 --> 02:28.000
That's a really shitty door.

02:28.000 --> 02:31.000
Okay.

02:31.000 --> 02:38.000
So I'm on the 15th floor. This
is a great hotel. It has an
atrium.

02:38.000 --> 02:43.000
So all the rooms are, it's kind
of like the, you know, that's
the watered 15 floors.

02:43.000 --> 02:50.000
We're actually 12 floors below
because the reception is on the
third floor and the entrance to
the hotel is on the first.

02:50.000 --> 02:54.000
There was an atrium where all
the rooms are kind of
surrounding a central spot.

02:54.000 --> 02:58.000
And we're going to take the
elevator down and go out. It's
chilly.

02:58.000 --> 03:05.000
So I have a sweater on. I didn't
bring a coat. So I borrowed Ron
Bloom's jacket.

03:05.000 --> 03:10.000
I have a sweater on, but still
it's, no, it's going to be
pretty chilly.

03:10.000 --> 03:19.000
I think it was Mark Twain who
said the coldest winter I ever
witnessed was Summer in San
Francisco.

03:20.000 --> 03:23.000
Everything is going like cloth
work. It's almost like gets
smart here.

03:23.000 --> 03:31.000
So these are beautiful glass
elevators. And as we whisk down,
I can actually see the floors
flying by.

03:31.000 --> 03:35.000
And it's really funky and we hit
that third floor because it's a
solid floor.

03:35.000 --> 03:41.000
And you actually go right
through the floor, kind of like
a fireman on a pole.

03:41.000 --> 03:46.000
There we go, pass reception,
hello reception. Good bye
reception.

03:46.000 --> 03:50.000
And we're down at the ground
level.

03:54.000 --> 03:57.000
Okay, we're going to walk out
the front door here.

04:01.000 --> 04:03.000
Evening.

04:07.000 --> 04:10.000
Okay, here we go.

04:10.000 --> 04:15.000
Anyway, the pod finder podcast.
I just want to tell you what
kind of production goes into
that.

04:15.000 --> 04:22.000
Because it's pretty cool.
Particularly, that we can
actually do these kinds of
productions now.

04:22.000 --> 04:29.000
It used to be unthinkable. Maybe
even five years ago, mainly held
back by bandwidth constraints.

04:29.000 --> 04:33.000
You see, I'm walking right now
on, what is this?

04:33.000 --> 04:37.000
I think this is this power. I
believe. Maybe it's post road
on.

04:37.000 --> 04:41.000
It's post no bills. That's where
I am right now.

04:41.000 --> 04:45.000
Walking through some
construction here.

04:51.000 --> 04:54.000
Wow. It's a real funky.

04:54.000 --> 04:58.000
I'm walking us. You can tell I'm
working on board.

04:59.000 --> 05:06.000
I'm going on very much like a
scaffolding. You might see in
New York City that you walk
underneath.

05:06.000 --> 05:10.000
Actually, I think I want to be
going the other way towards
Union Square.

05:10.000 --> 05:12.000
I'm going to walk up to the
corner here.

05:13.000 --> 05:16.000
Or is it Taylor? I'm going to
cross over.

05:16.000 --> 05:21.000
So we've got a good idea of the
sounds of San Francisco.

05:21.000 --> 05:24.000
I'm the streets of San
Francisco.

05:24.000 --> 05:31.000
So the pod finder, the way it
works is we have an editorial
team.

05:31.000 --> 05:37.000
The first looks at different
podcasts. I put in some
suggestions.

05:37.000 --> 05:42.000
We kind of have a little ad hoc
group meeting about what we want
to feature on the show.

05:42.000 --> 05:45.000
New shows, exciting new things
that have happened.

05:45.000 --> 05:50.000
Then we have to pull some clips
from each show.

05:50.000 --> 05:54.000
And we always look at the
description field in the RSS
feed.

05:54.000 --> 05:58.000
So we know how people want to
describe their own podcast.

05:58.000 --> 06:00.000
Oh, what a bunch of noise here.

06:00.000 --> 06:02.000
We're holding that.

06:02.000 --> 06:04.000
Man, big 18 meter.

06:08.000 --> 06:17.000
So once we have that, then I
basically put it into an
outline.

06:17.000 --> 06:21.000
And, you know, come up with an
order.

06:21.000 --> 06:24.000
A run down of what I want to be
in what spot.

06:24.000 --> 06:28.000
And then I write little intros
and altros to each piece.

06:28.000 --> 06:33.000
Sometimes it's, you know, it's
real copy that I'll stick to.

06:33.000 --> 06:38.000
Sometimes it's just bullet
points kind of depends on the
podcast and what I feel about
doing.

06:38.000 --> 06:40.000
Then I cut all the tracks.

06:40.000 --> 06:46.000
And then I upload that,
including the outline to a
central server.

06:46.000 --> 06:50.000
We're our production engineer.

06:50.000 --> 06:55.000
Then grabs everything and puts
it all together.

06:55.000 --> 07:01.000
Now, as I said, there's just no
way that this could have been
done.

07:01.000 --> 07:06.000
A couple of years ago, mainly
because of the bandwidth
constraints,

07:06.000 --> 07:12.000
forget processor speed and great
microphones and ways to record
stuff on location

07:12.000 --> 07:14.000
without slipping along entire
studios.

07:14.000 --> 07:18.000
I may basically just have my Mac
and my microphone combo.

07:18.000 --> 07:24.000
The same one I'm using right now
for the sound seeing tour of the
streets of San Francisco.

07:24.000 --> 07:27.000
And then Dave will put it all
together.

07:27.000 --> 07:33.000
And then he'll upload, you know,
almost kind of like a final mix
and we'll listen to it.

07:33.000 --> 07:39.000
Then, of course, we still have
to put the images in for the
enhanced version of the podcast.

07:39.000 --> 07:41.000
From the corner now of Mason and
Post.

07:41.000 --> 07:43.000
So I cut the corner into the
hotel.

07:43.000 --> 07:47.000
I'm walking towards the Union
Square.

07:47.000 --> 07:49.000
Oops, a little wind here.

07:49.000 --> 07:51.000
Come on.

07:51.000 --> 07:57.000
And then the enhanced podcast is
made.

07:57.000 --> 08:04.000
And then we shoot it all up to
the server, create the RSS feed,

08:04.000 --> 08:10.000
and notify Apple so that they
can feature it in iTunes.

08:10.000 --> 08:14.000
So as I said, kind of chilly.

08:14.000 --> 08:20.000
What's interesting about San
Francisco and I guess California
in general

08:20.000 --> 08:28.000
is that homeless people are
everywhere.

08:28.000 --> 08:36.000
It's not like New York City
where homeless people are in
certain areas.

08:36.000 --> 08:42.000
Here you can find homeless
people anywhere, which areas for
areas.

08:42.000 --> 08:46.000
Anyway, you can imagine.

08:46.000 --> 08:51.000
And what's kind of weird and
really takes them getting used
to.

08:51.000 --> 08:53.000
And I'm still getting used to
it.

08:53.000 --> 08:55.000
It's how people just step over
them.

08:55.000 --> 09:01.000
You know, just pass them by as
if they don't exist.

09:01.000 --> 09:05.000
And they really are everywhere.

09:05.000 --> 09:09.000
In this time of night.

09:09.000 --> 09:13.000
Especially.

09:13.000 --> 09:15.000
Like here at the corner.

09:15.000 --> 09:21.000
He's got a cup. You probably
want some cash. He looks
hammered.

09:21.000 --> 09:25.000
What's up?

09:25.000 --> 09:27.000
I'm your last hope.

09:27.000 --> 09:29.000
Yeah, yeah.

09:29.000 --> 09:31.000
He's treating so good.

09:31.000 --> 09:33.000
I'm so glad I met a nice guy
named.

09:33.000 --> 09:35.000
What's your name?

09:35.000 --> 09:37.000
My name is Will.

09:37.000 --> 09:39.000
Will.

09:39.000 --> 09:41.000
What's up, Will?

09:41.000 --> 09:45.000
Can I help you out there,
brother?

09:45.000 --> 09:47.000
Yeah.

09:47.000 --> 09:49.000
There you go, man.

09:49.000 --> 09:53.000
One more for the stop there.

09:53.000 --> 09:55.000
All right, buddy.

09:55.000 --> 09:57.000
Take care of yourself.

09:57.000 --> 09:59.000
All right, buddy.

09:59.000 --> 10:01.000
Thank you.

10:01.000 --> 10:11.000
So I was smart enough to come
out and bring some singles.

10:11.000 --> 10:13.000
Now, I could do this all night
long.

10:13.000 --> 10:17.000
You could be giving money to
people that's really outrageous.

10:17.000 --> 10:19.000
Every single street corner.

10:19.000 --> 10:21.000
There's someone asking for cash.

10:21.000 --> 10:25.000
So, I don't have any policy
about that.

10:25.000 --> 10:29.000
It's probably not even a good
thing to be handing it out.

10:29.000 --> 10:33.000
But, you know, if someone has a
nice approach

10:33.000 --> 10:35.000
and someone says, I'm the last
hope.

10:35.000 --> 10:37.000
Well, what can you say is a good
scenario?

10:37.000 --> 10:39.000
You know, you just got to do it.

10:39.000 --> 10:43.000
I know walking has the same
Francis,

10:43.000 --> 10:45.000
famous hotel.

10:45.000 --> 10:49.000
Right across from Union Square,

10:49.000 --> 10:51.000
which is packed.

10:51.000 --> 10:55.000
Well, there's some guys playing
guitar over there.

10:55.000 --> 10:59.000
Maybe I'll, uh, maybe I'll head
over.

10:59.000 --> 11:01.000
Let's see what they're doing.

11:01.000 --> 11:05.000
Hey, listen to what they're
playing.

11:05.000 --> 11:07.000
Let me go check.

11:07.000 --> 11:09.000
That could be fun, all night.

11:15.000 --> 11:19.000
I'm trying to sell these things.
I can't find anything cash.

11:19.000 --> 11:21.000
I need $10 if you know anybody.

11:21.000 --> 11:23.000
Is one.

11:23.000 --> 11:25.000
That's the start.

11:25.000 --> 11:29.000
One is all I got for now.

11:45.000 --> 11:49.000
Oh yeah.

12:01.000 --> 12:03.000
Can I have a listen?

12:03.000 --> 12:05.000
Can I have a listen in?

12:05.000 --> 12:07.000
No, no problem.

12:07.000 --> 12:09.000
What are you guys from?

12:09.000 --> 12:11.000
Rush it.

12:11.000 --> 12:13.000
I'm recording this. Is that
okay?

12:13.000 --> 12:14.000
No, no, no.

12:14.000 --> 12:16.000
Okay.

12:16.000 --> 12:18.000
Let's see what they're playing.

12:20.000 --> 12:22.000
Let's play.

12:44.000 --> 12:48.000
Calm down.

12:48.000 --> 12:54.000
Calm down.

12:54.000 --> 13:48.000
[ Music ]

13:48.000 --> 13:58.000
I'm sorry, I hope it falls today

13:58.000 --> 14:46.000
[ Music ]

14:46.000 --> 14:56.760
I'm not listening.

14:57.320 --> 15:04.680
I'm the one pleading Thank you.

15:23.750 --> 17:16.250
[ Music ]

17:16.480 --> 17:43.480
That's great. What's it about?

17:43.480 --> 17:45.480
What are the words about?

17:45.480 --> 17:47.480
All songs, of course, are about
love.

17:47.480 --> 17:51.480
Are you guys on vacation or?

17:51.480 --> 17:53.480
Yeah, students.

17:53.480 --> 17:54.480
Are you going to school here?

17:54.480 --> 18:11.480
No, I'm not. I'm just working
here for a couple of days and I
live in London.

18:11.480 --> 18:15.480
You can tell from my accent.

18:15.480 --> 18:16.480
And do you like them?

18:16.480 --> 18:17.480
Yeah, very much.

18:17.480 --> 18:18.480
Yeah, it's great.

18:18.480 --> 18:20.480
It's beautiful.

18:20.480 --> 18:22.480
Yeah, definitely.

18:22.480 --> 18:24.480
What do you mean?

18:24.480 --> 18:26.480
Where have I?

18:26.480 --> 18:27.480
Cold.

18:27.480 --> 18:28.480
At night.

18:28.480 --> 18:29.480
It's very cold.

18:29.480 --> 18:30.480
Yeah.

18:30.480 --> 18:32.480
Where are you from in Russia?

18:32.480 --> 18:34.480
I'm from Europe.

18:34.480 --> 18:35.480
Where are you from?

18:35.480 --> 18:38.480
It's between the European nation
and something.

18:39.480 --> 18:40.480
Okay.

18:40.480 --> 18:41.480
Sorry.

18:41.480 --> 18:42.480
Moscow?

18:42.480 --> 18:43.480
Yeah.

18:43.480 --> 18:45.480
I've been to Moscow.

18:45.480 --> 18:48.480
In 1989,

18:48.480 --> 18:51.480
Was the Moscow Music Peace
Festival.

18:51.480 --> 18:55.480
Remember at the Lenin Stadium?

18:55.480 --> 18:56.480
Yeah, yeah.

18:56.480 --> 18:57.480
Yeah.

18:57.480 --> 18:58.480
I've been to Moscow.

18:58.480 --> 19:00.480
I was the Osbourne,

19:00.480 --> 19:01.480
and Motley Crew,

19:01.480 --> 19:04.480
and I see Gorky Park.

19:04.480 --> 19:05.480
Those guys still around.

19:05.480 --> 19:06.480
Gorky Park?

19:06.480 --> 19:07.480
Yeah.

19:07.480 --> 19:08.480
Do they still play the band?

19:08.480 --> 19:09.480
Yeah.

19:09.480 --> 19:10.480
Yeah.

19:10.480 --> 19:11.480
It's just...

19:11.480 --> 19:12.480
Yeah.

19:12.480 --> 19:13.480
Yeah.

19:13.480 --> 19:14.480
Cool.

19:14.480 --> 19:16.480
You guys just...

19:16.480 --> 19:20.480
You put out records or you make
your own CDs or anything?

19:20.480 --> 19:21.480
No.

19:21.480 --> 19:22.480
Just for fun.

19:22.480 --> 19:23.480
Just for fun.

19:23.480 --> 19:25.480
Everybody in Russia can play
like this.

19:25.480 --> 19:26.480
Really?

19:26.480 --> 19:27.480
Yeah.

19:27.480 --> 19:28.480
I don't love you.

19:28.480 --> 19:31.480
Well, it's only three chords.

19:31.480 --> 19:33.480
Four.

19:33.480 --> 19:34.480
Four chords.

19:35.480 --> 19:36.480
That is beautiful.

19:36.480 --> 19:37.480
It's beautiful.

19:37.480 --> 19:38.480
All right, guys.

19:38.480 --> 19:39.480
We'll have a good summer.

19:39.480 --> 19:40.480
Thank you.

19:40.480 --> 19:41.480
All right.

19:41.480 --> 19:42.480
Take it easy.

19:42.480 --> 19:43.480
All right.

19:43.480 --> 19:45.480
Bye-bye.

19:45.480 --> 19:47.480
All right.

19:47.480 --> 19:50.480
I guess that's a pod save, then.

19:50.480 --> 19:55.480
I didn't even ask him if it was
there, so I guess it's there,
I'm so.

19:55.480 --> 19:58.480
So walking past Union Square,

19:58.480 --> 20:00.480
only just do a little time check
here.

20:00.480 --> 20:01.480
Okay.

20:01.480 --> 20:03.480
We've been at it for about 20
minutes.

20:03.480 --> 20:04.480
Good.

20:04.480 --> 20:05.480
That actually filled up some
time.

20:05.480 --> 20:06.480
I didn't even expect it.

20:06.480 --> 20:07.480
And it was sound a pretty good.

20:07.480 --> 20:09.480
It was guys, you know, all
young.

20:09.480 --> 20:12.480
I'd say they were in their early
20s.

20:12.480 --> 20:14.480
leather jackets.

20:14.480 --> 20:18.480
Banged up guitars, pretty cool.

20:18.480 --> 20:22.480
Man, and while I was standing
there, like three homeless
people came up and

20:22.480 --> 20:25.480
begging for money.

20:25.480 --> 20:28.480
It really ruins your walk.

20:28.480 --> 20:32.480
But then again, if you're
homeless, you have no house.

20:32.480 --> 20:36.480
That could fucking ruin your
whole vibe, too.

20:36.480 --> 20:40.480
It's just, it seems like
something could be done, you
know.

20:40.480 --> 20:42.480
Weird.

20:42.480 --> 20:44.480
Oh, looking at the signs here.

20:44.480 --> 20:46.480
Plenty of billboards.

20:46.480 --> 20:48.480
Big sex if they have a new
store.

20:48.480 --> 20:50.480
Nike town.

20:50.480 --> 20:52.480
Sky, vodka.

20:52.480 --> 20:54.480
Please.

20:54.480 --> 20:57.480
No comparison to absolute.

20:57.480 --> 21:01.480
You know, the pod save music
network is flavored by absolute
all summer long.

21:01.480 --> 21:04.480
Came in across over here.

21:04.480 --> 21:07.480
This is Stockton.

21:07.480 --> 21:10.480
So I'll go from Stockton over to
Gary.

21:10.480 --> 21:13.480
I'm sure I don't get run over.

21:13.480 --> 21:15.480
Let's see.

21:15.480 --> 21:18.480
Or does that a fire truck or
police?

21:18.480 --> 21:19.480
I can't sell.

21:19.480 --> 21:24.480
I got a green light, so I'm
growing.

21:24.480 --> 21:25.480
Okay.

21:25.480 --> 21:29.480
This is the corner of Gary and
Stockton.

21:29.480 --> 21:35.480
I'll walk down and then we'll do
a big circle back up to the
hotel and see what else

21:35.480 --> 21:37.480
we encounter on our.

21:37.480 --> 21:40.480
Sound seeing two of the streets
of San Francisco.

21:40.480 --> 21:42.480
You know, I was talking to
Brian.

21:42.480 --> 21:46.480
He's our director of operations
on the show.

21:46.480 --> 21:51.480
And you said, you know, it's,
you feel so safe in San
Francisco.

21:51.480 --> 21:54.480
And I said, have you ever
watched the streets of San
Francisco?

21:54.480 --> 21:56.480
And he's 32, I think.

21:57.480 --> 22:00.480
And I realized, yeah, I'm an
old-fucker.

22:00.480 --> 22:06.480
That was a series that had the.

22:06.480 --> 22:09.480
Michael Douglas starred in that.

22:09.480 --> 22:13.480
It was a cop series called the
streets of San Francisco.

22:13.480 --> 22:15.480
Solving crimes.

22:15.480 --> 22:17.480
Hainest crimes.

22:21.480 --> 22:24.480
I'm at Macy's now.

22:25.480 --> 22:27.480
I'm going to.

22:27.480 --> 22:28.480
Turn right here.

22:28.480 --> 22:30.480
The corner of Macy's.

22:30.480 --> 22:33.480
On the side of the corner is
Creighton Barrel.

22:33.480 --> 22:35.480
I'm wondering if I should.

22:35.480 --> 22:40.480
I walked down one more.

22:40.480 --> 22:44.480
Big 18 wheeler.

22:44.480 --> 22:45.480
Hey, I'm going to.

22:45.480 --> 22:48.480
It says don't walk or it has the
red hand, but.

22:48.480 --> 22:50.480
I think it's pretty safe to
cross.

22:50.480 --> 22:54.480
And walk down towards if you
know San Francisco, the kind of
know where I am.

22:54.480 --> 22:57.480
So I'm still on the Stockton.

22:57.480 --> 23:00.480
I'm going to walk down to, I
think, that's market.

23:00.480 --> 23:01.480
Yeah.

23:01.480 --> 23:02.480
The market.

23:02.480 --> 23:03.480
My goodness.

23:03.480 --> 23:04.480
I already know my way around.

23:04.480 --> 23:07.480
Hey, it looks like I might have
found an apartment here.

23:07.480 --> 23:09.480
For.

23:09.480 --> 23:10.480
For when I'm staying.

23:10.480 --> 23:13.480
Isn't we spending a lot of time
in San Francisco.

23:13.480 --> 23:15.480
And really excited.

23:15.480 --> 23:17.480
We put an offer in.

23:17.480 --> 23:19.480
Hopefully it'll be accepted.

23:19.480 --> 23:20.480
Um.

23:20.480 --> 23:35.480
Actually, I posted a picture of
the view from the living room on
my weblog.

23:35.480 --> 23:38.480
And people thought it was a
hotel.

23:38.480 --> 23:42.480
It's an apartment that I really
hope I could.

23:42.480 --> 23:43.480
I can get.

23:43.480 --> 23:48.480
Hi, is the apple store here?

23:48.480 --> 23:50.480
It's a guy in the apple store.

23:50.480 --> 23:52.480
I'm sitting there reading the
book.

23:52.480 --> 23:53.480
Okay.

23:53.480 --> 23:54.480
Now we're going to.

23:54.480 --> 23:55.480
What do we do?

23:55.480 --> 23:56.480
This is Ellis.

23:56.480 --> 23:57.480
So what I'll do is I'll.

23:57.480 --> 23:58.480
One more.

23:58.480 --> 24:09.480
Go to market.

24:09.480 --> 24:13.480
The sidewalk is being sprayed
clean here.

24:14.480 --> 24:19.480
It's one of California's
savings.

24:19.480 --> 24:21.480
I don't want to get wet.

24:21.480 --> 24:25.480
So I'll cross over past market.

24:25.480 --> 24:32.480
Across the trolley tracks.

24:32.480 --> 24:35.480
Right in front of the good old
Navy store.

24:35.480 --> 24:38.480
It's deserted.

24:38.480 --> 24:41.480
Completely fricking deserted.

24:41.480 --> 24:45.480
No one on the street, but.

24:45.480 --> 24:47.480
Almost people.

24:47.480 --> 24:48.480
Me.

24:48.480 --> 24:52.480
And you guys along for the ride.

24:52.480 --> 24:56.480
Maybe we'll find some more
interesting people to talk to.

24:56.480 --> 24:58.480
You notice how I asked those
Russian kids.

24:58.480 --> 25:00.480
It was okay that I was
recording.

25:00.480 --> 25:04.480
Kind of learned my lesson from
the yeah.

25:04.480 --> 25:07.480
Elevator sound seeing tour in
the wall to restore it.

25:07.480 --> 25:09.480
Oh, I got so much flag.

25:09.480 --> 25:10.480
True.

25:10.480 --> 25:11.480
I guess I should.

25:11.480 --> 25:12.480
Related.

25:12.480 --> 25:13.480
Maybe we still need some kind
of.

25:13.480 --> 25:15.480
I'm podcasting.

25:15.480 --> 25:16.480
Blinking light.

25:16.480 --> 25:21.480
Next to the lapel microphone.

25:21.480 --> 25:24.480
Oh, man.

25:24.480 --> 25:26.480
Had a late dinner.

25:26.480 --> 25:29.480
So this walking is.

25:29.480 --> 25:31.480
Reminding me that I had that.

25:31.480 --> 25:33.480
Give me many sense.

25:34.480 --> 25:37.480
Let's see.

25:37.480 --> 25:39.480
Shall we do?

25:39.480 --> 25:41.480
Shall we go?

25:41.480 --> 25:45.480
There's a walking past a bus
stop.

25:45.480 --> 25:49.480
Person sleeping in there with a
shopping cart.

25:49.480 --> 25:53.480
It really is sad.

25:53.480 --> 25:58.480
And it's something to do with
the policy of California that
this.

25:58.480 --> 26:00.480
Isn't dealt with.

26:00.480 --> 26:02.480
It's also the policy of the
United States I guess.

26:02.480 --> 26:07.480
You don't see many homeless
people in.

26:07.480 --> 26:09.480
What even in London?

26:09.480 --> 26:11.480
Just don't see it that much.

26:11.480 --> 26:12.480
Let me see.

26:12.480 --> 26:17.480
I'm going to cross back over
here.

26:17.480 --> 26:27.480
I'm going to cross market again
going back towards the hotel
general direction.

26:27.480 --> 26:30.480
Can you hear 21?

26:30.480 --> 26:33.480
No.

26:33.480 --> 26:37.480
Oh, this is the place where the
cable cars turn around.

26:37.480 --> 26:42.480
And they don't really turn
around, but they hit a plateau.

26:42.480 --> 26:45.480
And it's kind of like a lazy
Susan.

26:45.480 --> 26:52.480
And it twists around and spins
them back in the direction they
came from.

26:52.480 --> 26:56.480
I'm sorry to say there's just
not a lot going on right now.

26:56.480 --> 26:59.480
This would be power, I guess.

26:59.480 --> 27:03.480
So we'll walk up power.

27:03.480 --> 27:07.480
And see.

27:07.480 --> 27:09.480
What else are we talking about?

27:09.480 --> 27:12.480
What else is going on?

27:12.480 --> 27:17.480
Well, I'll be going back Tuesday
afternoon.

27:17.480 --> 27:23.480
So it'll have been exactly a
week, which I think is pretty
much going to be my schedule

27:23.480 --> 27:26.480
for the foreseeable future.

27:26.480 --> 27:30.480
It'll be kind of like a working
on an oil rig.

27:30.480 --> 27:33.480
You know, one week on three
weeks off.

27:33.480 --> 27:35.480
Although, of course, it won't
really be off.

27:35.480 --> 27:39.480
It'll be, you know, source codes
and all kinds of stuff.

27:39.480 --> 27:50.480
Lots of production and we're
ramping up with even more.

27:50.480 --> 27:51.480
Okay.

27:51.480 --> 27:52.480
Where am I now?

27:52.480 --> 27:53.480
Power.

27:53.480 --> 27:56.480
So if this is power, then post
is going to...

27:56.480 --> 27:58.480
No, power is what my hotel is
on.

27:58.480 --> 27:59.480
I think.

27:59.480 --> 28:01.480
I think that's what it is.

28:01.480 --> 28:03.480
Yeah.

28:03.480 --> 28:05.480
Okay.

28:05.480 --> 28:07.480
Hope my battery holds out.

28:07.480 --> 28:12.480
I did so much recording today
that the transmitter battery

28:13.480 --> 28:16.480
Counted out on me.

28:16.480 --> 28:21.480
I think I was another guy.

28:21.480 --> 28:26.480
How you doing?

28:26.480 --> 28:28.480
Oh, my goodness.

28:28.480 --> 28:31.480
Just doesn't stop.

28:32.480 --> 28:43.480
People going through garbage
cans.

28:43.480 --> 28:46.480
Unbelievable.

28:46.480 --> 28:49.480
It's not that you don't feel
safe for anything.

28:49.480 --> 28:53.480
It's just like weird.

28:53.480 --> 28:54.480
Okay.

28:54.480 --> 28:58.480
Coming up to...

28:58.480 --> 29:00.480
Oh, yeah.

29:00.480 --> 29:02.480
People screaming up here.

29:02.480 --> 29:05.480
Always find the check that out.

29:05.480 --> 29:07.480
Let me see.

29:07.480 --> 29:15.480
Oh, you don't want to go that
way.

29:15.480 --> 29:20.480
Doing a total J walk.

29:20.480 --> 29:21.480
Okay.

29:21.480 --> 29:22.480
We'll continue up.

29:22.480 --> 29:23.480
Power.

29:23.480 --> 29:38.480
Man, everyone's closed down.

29:38.480 --> 29:42.480
All kinds of cultures.

29:42.480 --> 29:46.480
All kinds of people out on the
street at night.

29:46.480 --> 29:47.480
It's trash night.

29:47.480 --> 29:49.480
That's for sure.

29:49.480 --> 29:52.480
Well, maybe this is just your
regular trash.

29:52.480 --> 29:56.480
Man, he wouldn't kind produces a
load of crap.

29:56.480 --> 30:00.480
Bags and bags piled high here.

30:00.480 --> 30:01.480
Okay.

30:01.480 --> 30:02.480
Let's see what we are.

30:02.480 --> 30:04.480
This is Gary.

30:04.480 --> 30:05.480
Okay.

30:05.480 --> 30:07.480
I got my bearings now.

30:07.480 --> 30:09.480
So...

30:09.480 --> 30:14.480
Oh, what am I getting here?

30:14.480 --> 30:20.480
My MBA is talking to me.

30:21.480 --> 30:24.480
That's something pretty
interesting.

30:24.480 --> 30:26.480
I've noticed.

30:26.480 --> 30:29.480
Let me see.

30:29.480 --> 30:31.480
What should I do?

30:31.480 --> 30:34.480
Go up one.

30:34.480 --> 30:43.480
Something I noticed is that San
Francisco is without a doubt.

30:43.480 --> 30:46.480
One of the most wired cities.

30:46.480 --> 30:49.480
Got the MBA, which has Wi-Fi
built right into it.

30:49.480 --> 30:52.480
A little pocket PC, phone,
combo.

30:52.480 --> 30:55.480
It has GPRS.

30:55.480 --> 31:01.480
But you walk around the streets
here and has an auto discovery
mode for Wi-Fi.

31:01.480 --> 31:04.480
And you just turn it on.

31:04.480 --> 31:06.480
And it just...

31:06.480 --> 31:08.480
You know, I'll do it now.

31:08.480 --> 31:10.480
The networks just start
appearing.

31:10.480 --> 31:12.480
It's outrageous.

31:12.480 --> 31:16.480
It's going to turn on to...

31:16.480 --> 31:19.480
Wireless manager.

31:19.480 --> 31:21.480
Okay.

31:21.480 --> 31:22.480
Let's see.

31:22.480 --> 31:26.480
Scanning the network.

31:26.480 --> 31:35.480
Now it should just start popping
up with all different kinds of
access points.

31:35.480 --> 31:36.480
I hope at least.

31:36.480 --> 31:38.480
Sometimes you have to...

31:38.480 --> 31:39.480
Like all good pocket PCs.

31:39.480 --> 31:41.480
Sometimes you have to reset it.

31:41.480 --> 31:44.480
But it actually works properly.

31:44.480 --> 31:47.480
Don't see.

31:47.480 --> 31:55.480
Don't see anything coming
through, which immediately makes
me think that I have to reset
it.

31:55.480 --> 31:58.480
So let me do that now.

31:58.480 --> 32:01.480
Okay.

32:01.480 --> 32:11.480
Okay.

32:11.480 --> 32:15.480
Okay, it's reset.

32:15.480 --> 32:18.480
There's the theater.

32:18.480 --> 32:20.480
Two big 18 wheelers up there.

32:20.480 --> 32:21.480
One for Lemis.

32:21.480 --> 32:23.480
Lemis are ably.

32:23.480 --> 32:24.480
They're unloading.

32:24.480 --> 32:27.480
I'll walk over there for a sec.

32:27.480 --> 32:29.480
And listen to some of the
unloading going on.

32:30.480 --> 32:32.480
It might be something
interesting.

32:32.480 --> 32:35.480
We continue to scan for Wi-Fi.

32:39.480 --> 32:41.480
Oh, they're loading in.

32:53.480 --> 32:55.480
What are they loading in?

33:00.480 --> 33:03.480
Looks like they're loading in.

33:03.480 --> 33:05.480
Ringing.

33:07.480 --> 33:09.480
Yeah.

33:14.480 --> 33:17.480
Okay, I'm scanning for Wi-Fi
again.

33:19.480 --> 33:22.480
Big pieces of set are going into
the trucks.

33:22.480 --> 33:32.480
I wonder if the run is over on
the pack and it is.

33:32.480 --> 33:42.480
Okay, let me check my wireless
manager here.

33:42.480 --> 33:46.480
If you in the pocket PC boots
up,

33:46.480 --> 33:50.480
takes a while for it to figure
out what it has to do

33:50.480 --> 33:53.480
and what it has to display.

33:53.480 --> 33:59.480
It's not a very rewarding
process.

33:59.480 --> 34:04.480
Okay, so I've got the Wi-Fi
manager running.

34:04.480 --> 34:06.480
It's scanning for networks.

34:06.480 --> 34:08.480
See if we can find something.

34:08.480 --> 34:12.480
Okay, nothing going on with a
loaded.

34:20.480 --> 34:28.480
There we go.

34:28.480 --> 34:37.480
Airpath, Union Square Wireless,
Wayport Access.

34:37.480 --> 34:43.480
And I'm sure I can connect to at
least one of those three.

34:43.480 --> 34:50.480
A lot of free Wi-Fi here in San
Francisco, which is extremely
cool.

34:50.480 --> 34:55.480
So I'm going to keep watching
the MBA.

34:55.480 --> 34:59.480
Now I can hear the phone park
clicking.

34:59.480 --> 35:14.480
That's pretty dead out here.

35:14.480 --> 35:18.480
It's a nice folks.

35:18.480 --> 35:20.480
I'm actually not that cold.

35:20.480 --> 35:23.480
It was cold or a couple of
nights ago.

35:23.480 --> 35:27.480
It's quite nice.

35:27.480 --> 35:34.480
A little bit of wind just puts
the chill in the air.

35:34.480 --> 35:40.480
There you get something here.

35:40.480 --> 35:45.480
Still waiting to see if we can
get a hit on the Wi-Fi.

35:45.480 --> 35:49.480
Probably if I go to Union Square
that Union Square Wireless will
pop up again.

35:49.480 --> 35:52.480
But it works, you know.

35:53.480 --> 35:56.480
I have been using it quite
successfully.

35:56.480 --> 35:58.480
Just about everywhere you go.

35:58.480 --> 36:03.480
Within a 50 foot radius.

36:03.480 --> 36:14.480
You're able to find an access
point that is very usable.

36:14.480 --> 36:17.480
We are now passing B.C.A.B.J.

36:18.480 --> 36:20.480
A high-fession.

36:20.480 --> 36:25.480
Rounding the corner back on
Powell.

36:25.480 --> 36:29.480
Moving back up past St. Francis.

36:29.480 --> 36:33.480
I'm going to put the MBA back in
my pocket.

36:33.480 --> 36:36.480
Wait, Google Wi-Fi?

36:36.480 --> 36:38.480
It just doesn't stop.

36:38.480 --> 36:43.480
I wonder if there's a Google
office here somewhere.

36:44.480 --> 36:47.480
One of these days.

36:47.480 --> 36:57.480
We'll do a full sound scene tour
where we stop at each Wi-Fi
access point.

36:57.480 --> 37:04.480
See if we can get a little bit
of war walking instead of war
driving.

37:04.480 --> 37:13.480
Up to the corner.

37:13.480 --> 37:17.480
Now bum no fucking cigarette off
we do.

37:17.480 --> 37:20.480
Okay, Disney store here at the
corner.

37:20.480 --> 37:24.480
And we're going to go back
towards the hotel.

37:24.480 --> 37:27.480
Which I can see up in the
distance.

37:27.480 --> 37:31.480
Another quick Wi-Fi check.

37:31.480 --> 37:39.480
Just for the heck of it.

37:39.480 --> 37:44.480
That's beeping at me, which
means you've found something.

37:44.480 --> 37:51.480
But it's cool how it'll show you
a list of sometimes five access
points just sitting there,

37:51.480 --> 37:55.480
waiting to be used.

37:55.480 --> 38:06.480
And I've noticed there's a lot
of access points named net gear
and linksis.

38:06.480 --> 38:11.480
Which is just the standard
names.

38:11.480 --> 38:14.480
That's why they're all on
secure.

38:14.480 --> 38:21.480
Your heart always leaps of joy
when you see some access point
called linksis or net gear.

38:21.480 --> 38:24.480
It's guaranteed I'm on.

38:25.480 --> 38:28.480
Okay.

38:28.480 --> 38:32.480
Right there may not be anything
to receive here.

38:32.480 --> 38:34.480
Okay, back in the pocket.

38:34.480 --> 38:43.480
The MDA goes through back at the
corner of Mason and Post at the
Pam Pacific hotel.

38:43.480 --> 38:47.480
And we've been at it for
probably about, what is it?

38:47.480 --> 38:50.480
About 30 minutes now? 40
minutes.

38:51.480 --> 38:53.480
So.

38:53.480 --> 38:56.480
Perfect time.

38:56.480 --> 38:58.480
I'll take you back up to my
room.

38:58.480 --> 38:59.480
Hey, baby.

38:59.480 --> 39:01.480
Want to come up to my room.

39:01.480 --> 39:03.480
Take you back to my room.

39:03.480 --> 39:06.480
And then we'll turn it off.

39:06.480 --> 39:15.480
Compress this sucker into an MP3
and get it up.

39:15.480 --> 39:22.480
I'm cleaning off the signage
here at the Pam Pacific.

39:22.480 --> 39:23.480
Here we go.

39:23.480 --> 39:24.480
We're back.

39:24.480 --> 39:28.480
Unstave.

39:28.480 --> 39:31.480
No harm.

39:31.480 --> 39:35.480
And a nice little evening walk.

39:35.480 --> 39:40.480
Which is good.

39:40.480 --> 39:43.480
It's really good to get out.

39:43.480 --> 39:47.480
After sitting in the room for so
long.

39:47.480 --> 39:50.480
Come on.

39:50.480 --> 39:53.480
Here we go.

39:53.480 --> 39:55.480
Back up to the 15th floor.

39:55.480 --> 40:00.480
You can hear the acoustics
change immediately.

40:00.480 --> 40:05.480
Up we go.

40:05.480 --> 40:10.480
Count the floors with me now.

40:11.480 --> 40:14.480
Here the beats.

40:14.480 --> 40:17.480
Not very audible, actually.

40:17.480 --> 40:19.480
Okay.

40:19.480 --> 40:31.480
And we'll have my stuff.

40:31.480 --> 40:35.480
The hotel is officially asleep.

40:35.480 --> 40:37.480
Nothing going on.

40:37.480 --> 40:40.480
Two AM.

40:40.480 --> 40:47.480
And we're almost done.

40:47.480 --> 40:49.480
Get my key card.

40:49.480 --> 40:53.480
Someone has a nice little cup of
decaf.

40:53.480 --> 40:57.480
While I check the show for any
errors.

40:57.480 --> 41:01.480
Well, it's compressing.

41:02.480 --> 41:05.480
We've got to open up the window.

41:05.480 --> 41:07.480
A little stuffy.

41:07.480 --> 41:10.480
Air condition is not a big thing
here.

41:10.480 --> 41:13.480
There's some kind of cooling
unit here on the wall.

41:13.480 --> 41:16.480
Let me see if I can, yeah, 71.

41:16.480 --> 41:18.480
You want to be a little bit
cooler than that.

41:18.480 --> 41:20.480
Okay.

41:20.480 --> 41:26.480
Well, once again, thank you very
much for joining me on the sound
seeing tour on the streets

41:26.480 --> 41:29.480
of San Francisco.

41:29.480 --> 41:30.480
Tuesday.

41:30.480 --> 41:32.480
We'll be tomorrow.

41:32.480 --> 41:36.480
We'll bring you yet another
daily source code.

41:36.480 --> 41:37.480
And feedback.

41:37.480 --> 41:38.480
Always appreciated.

41:38.480 --> 41:40.480
Adam at curry.com.

41:40.480 --> 41:42.480
DailySourceCode.com is the
website.

41:42.480 --> 41:46.480
We can pick up the podcast feed,
the archives, the new show.

41:46.480 --> 41:50.480
And of course, you can also
subscribe through iTunes to get
to this show.

41:50.480 --> 41:51.480
42 minutes.

41:51.480 --> 41:52.480
Almost on the nose.

41:52.480 --> 41:54.480
I'll talk to you tomorrow,
everybody.

41:54.480 --> 41:55.480
Bye-bye.
