San Francisco and show 05:59.560 --> 06:05.720 enough, lots of stuff there, waiting my arrival, no matter how short it was, dear Podfather. 06:05.720 --> 06:09.720 Please accept this gift of a drumstick, throw my way by the drummer during the hooting 06:09.720 --> 06:14.000 the blowfish concert at the Concord Pavilion in 1995. 06:14.000 --> 06:18.040 Surely it won't help your rhythm, it doesn't seem to help mine, but what else should 06:18.040 --> 06:22.480 be done with a single drumstick of the chartered list of nothing, Danny Boyle? 06:22.480 --> 06:23.480 I just use it, Danny. 06:23.480 --> 06:24.480 Thank you, man. 06:24.480 --> 06:25.480 Really, really appreciated. 06:25.480 --> 06:26.480 Very nice. 06:26.480 --> 06:27.480 10 year old drumstick. 06:27.480 --> 06:30.800 And then American Classic, 5B. 06:30.800 --> 06:36.680 Everybody, welcome to the Daily Source Code, just arrived from San Francisco a couple 06:36.680 --> 06:43.620 hours ago, Patricia and I unpacked, which usually means I unpack the studio and reinstall 06:43.620 --> 06:49.560 it and then sit around while she unpacks the suitcases and we're both kind of floating 06:49.560 --> 06:55.160 around a good flight and I have to say, man, it's so cold, I can't believe it. 06:55.280 --> 06:58.520 Oh, it was like 53 degrees outside when we landed. 06:58.520 --> 07:05.080 Oh, not good, not friendly at all, but there is some sunshine now and then and they've 07:05.080 --> 07:11.240 had notoriously shitty weather for the past week or so, but everyone's great, really the 07:11.240 --> 07:17.720 whole operation was success here where Christina was great to her grandparents, you know, 07:17.720 --> 07:25.120 the 80 year olds with power tools didn't do any structural damage to the, to the, to the 07:25.120 --> 07:29.960 cottage and the animals are all still alive, yeah, it's good. 07:29.960 --> 07:34.800 So we're feeling pretty good and of course I promised to do a show for you and I don't 07:34.800 --> 07:36.720 think Patricia's going to be dropping by on this one. 07:36.720 --> 07:43.720 She was really, really just, yeah, a little bit out of it and of course everyone, you 07:43.720 --> 07:47.800 know, there's a lot of talk in the, the house is full, so there's just a lot going on. 07:47.800 --> 07:50.880 We're probably going to collapse a little bit later on, but I did want to get a Charlie 07:50.880 --> 07:51.880 out to you. 07:51.880 --> 07:58.880 There's a lot of stuff I got to catch up on so much backlog of great phone calls, great audio 07:58.880 --> 07:59.880 comments. 07:59.880 --> 08:04.640 So since I too am a little bit on the, on the jet laggy side, let me, yeah, just to play a couple 08:04.640 --> 08:05.640 things for you. 08:05.640 --> 08:09.200 This, this, what I've got lined up for you right here, I've been saving for several days. 08:09.200 --> 08:12.480 You remember we had Malcolm Call from Abu Dhabi? 08:12.480 --> 08:19.800 Well, Malcolm now recorded a audio comment and sent it in and this is a really interesting 08:19.800 --> 08:23.520 guy and I'm very proud to have him as a listener of the Charlie. 08:23.520 --> 08:26.000 Is it already too late? 08:26.000 --> 08:32.840 Can I still resist the sirens on of the cyber collective, the pull of the podosphere? 08:32.840 --> 08:37.880 Well I end the very near future, download castblaster and let FedEx bring me a high 08:37.880 --> 08:39.920 LPR 40. 08:39.920 --> 08:41.360 And if so, why? 08:41.360 --> 08:45.000 How did I get to this decision-making moment? 08:45.000 --> 08:49.760 For a year I've been a loyal, enthusiastic, but totally passive listener to the Adam Curry 08:49.760 --> 08:50.760 show. 08:50.760 --> 08:53.720 How did I discover the Charlie? 08:53.720 --> 08:59.560 Probably through something I read on one of the media-related blogs I subscribed to, 08:59.560 --> 09:05.400 write a business team, saffronpost on losscremote.com, a dip from Canyata Cheese on the thought 09:05.400 --> 09:13.160 provoking unmediated.org, maybe a mention by Zeni or Cori on buying.net. 09:13.160 --> 09:18.360 My interest in webcasting in general, video as well as audio became more focused, when 09:18.360 --> 09:23.440 Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital announced the funding of Pod Show Incorporated. 09:23.440 --> 09:29.080 As a media professional, I'm sincerely interested in business models which break new ground. 09:29.080 --> 09:34.360 With the less, Delta Sierra Charlie was still for me, a one-way experience, a pleasurable, 09:34.360 --> 09:38.680 fascinating daily rendezvous with the Curry's, with comic strip blogger, with Roger 09:38.680 --> 09:45.040 Smalls, with audio comments from Enterprising Antipedeans, from civilized, if defensive, 09:45.040 --> 09:49.840 set the ethical and countless eloquent yanks. 09:49.840 --> 09:55.240 I'm sure many listeners like me look juryate by proxy in virgin upper classes, add them 09:55.240 --> 09:58.760 jets to the condo, and then back to Guilford. 09:58.760 --> 10:03.440 I imagine myself in a cartage of my own in Sari, which would be wonderful since my daughter 10:03.440 --> 10:08.840 will be starting at a sixth form college near Dawking as of September. 10:08.840 --> 10:14.920 Then recently the phone lines were opened, and I entered the call in number under DSC in 10:14.920 --> 10:18.280 the phone book of my Sony Ericsson mobile. 10:18.280 --> 10:22.760 My contribution to the yanks versus the Brits was a spontaneous bit of time wasting at my 10:22.760 --> 10:28.200 desk, where I prefer to remain at lunchtime, outside in Abu Dhabi the noon time temperature 10:28.200 --> 10:34.160 is already in the sticky mid-30s, and yes, it was great fun to hear my piece included 10:34.160 --> 10:37.760 in DSC 390. 10:37.760 --> 10:43.160 But if I do download cast blaster, if I do commence an audio cast of my own, it will 10:43.160 --> 10:45.640 be because of Friday's show with Patricia. 10:45.640 --> 10:53.400 Was it the fickle finger of fate, morphic resonance, ground control to major tom, indeed, 10:53.400 --> 10:57.080 back in 1969 I directed the video. 10:57.080 --> 11:02.600 So I guess it was a sign, and I guess I'd better get cast blaster right now. 11:02.600 --> 11:08.320 In the meantime, to Adam and Patricia, Bob Voyage, Guilter Reiser from Malcolm in Abu 11:08.320 --> 11:09.320 Dhabi. 11:09.320 --> 11:10.640 How cool is that? 11:10.640 --> 11:20.000 So I looked it up and showed enough Malcolm was the director of the major tom video for 11:20.000 --> 11:26.360 David Bowie, and it's hard to find Malcolm Thompson and it was hard to find any information 11:26.360 --> 11:30.240 on him, but now I know what he's doing in Abu Dhabi, and actually there's a fantastic 11:30.240 --> 11:35.360 picture of him on flicker, which so completely fits the voice, and I'm going to post a link 11:35.360 --> 11:36.360 to that. 11:36.360 --> 11:43.880 He's a consultant from music plus, which is for a satellite outfit in, I guess it's 11:43.880 --> 11:46.440 based on, I think it is based in Abu Dhabi. 11:46.440 --> 11:53.280 Very cool, Malcolm, and we've got to get you a DSC or my friend, there's just so many 11:53.280 --> 11:57.320 times, you could listen to the S, so sing a ways, you know what I mean? 11:57.320 --> 12:01.720 Greetings, I think it's the top toe here from the blood cast, the sign come garden at 12:01.720 --> 12:05.000 the moment, like nearly all proceedings just finished in the background. 12:05.000 --> 12:08.440 I've got three things, I want to say, number one, night. 12:08.440 --> 12:14.880 So first of all, this is the lovely duct toe, who you probably know from the blood cast, 12:14.880 --> 12:20.160 if you don't know or from the blood cast, you might know her from second life. 12:20.160 --> 12:26.320 She hangs out with cars all the time in a real life as well, and she's got a special 12:26.320 --> 12:27.320 place in the Charlie. 12:27.320 --> 12:32.640 Well, it's probably not going to appreciate me sharing this information, but both here 12:32.640 --> 12:38.280 and I suffer from night sweats on and off, and it is an up and night mess, and I think 12:38.280 --> 12:44.280 it happens when we're understress or under pressure, but it's horrible, you know, and 12:44.280 --> 12:47.960 I don't have enough sheep to keep changing them, I think you're in testing them for 12:47.960 --> 12:49.960 water proof sheets. 12:49.960 --> 12:54.320 You know, that's interesting, because ever since I started talking about having night sweats, 12:54.320 --> 12:58.480 there's been an incredible, just an outpouring of people who are saying, yeah, I have that 12:58.480 --> 13:02.920 too, even my partner, Ron, I didn't know this about him, I know a lot about Ron, I had 13:02.920 --> 13:07.560 no idea that he also has night sweats, and he didn't really cop to it right off the 13:07.560 --> 13:11.200 bat, but I could tell by his interest level, I was like, oh, wait a minute, something 13:11.200 --> 13:14.160 going on here, this seems to be something that happens to a lot of people. 13:14.160 --> 13:19.440 I have to say, and he also used to sleep naked, maybe too much information, but I have 13:19.440 --> 13:25.520 to say ever since I started wearing box of shorts and wife beaters to bed, the night sweats 13:25.520 --> 13:27.360 are a thing of the past, my friends. 13:27.360 --> 13:33.560 The two, if you had your first second life dream yet, I'd have two nights in a row, and 13:33.560 --> 13:37.200 it's quite disturbing, everything is in second life. 13:37.200 --> 13:38.200 Number three? 13:38.200 --> 13:42.120 I have a duck, duck toe. 13:42.120 --> 13:45.800 This is not good, you should not be having dreams from past second life. 13:45.880 --> 13:49.720 I also asked around, as a couple other people, and I don't know many people who have 13:49.720 --> 13:54.560 had second life dreams, and by the way, I haven't really been on second life at all, 13:54.560 --> 13:59.200 except for briefly in the pajama party, so now that I'm back in the time zones are all 13:59.200 --> 14:00.800 shifted, I'll definitely check in again. 14:00.800 --> 14:05.680 Saturday, we actually want to see if we can open up the palace, open up the palace, open 14:05.680 --> 14:07.280 up the casino, have some fun. 14:07.280 --> 14:14.960 Oh yeah, I really enjoyed everyone hanging around chatting around the castle, that's 14:14.960 --> 14:19.960 a couple of nights ago, and then the pole dances came, and you know, how do we just think 14:19.960 --> 14:22.280 this something more crazy to do in person life? 14:22.280 --> 14:24.680 Here, anyway, enjoy the show. 14:24.680 --> 14:25.680 Bye. 14:25.680 --> 14:27.960 Thanks, Doc. 14:27.960 --> 14:31.640 If you've got a voicemail comment, love to hear from you. 14:31.640 --> 14:38.200 Two phone numbers in New Jersey, zero as in class, yeah, two zero one, six to five, 14:38.200 --> 14:44.600 six three five seven in London, zero two zero seven six eight one three seven five three, 14:44.600 --> 14:52.640 and of course, plenty of voicemails and messages left about Carlos 395 daily source code, 14:52.640 --> 14:56.920 we had some technical difficulties, and I do want to get into this just a little bit. 14:56.920 --> 15:02.480 First of all, I'm delighted so many people seem to enjoy the show, and, you know, it 15:02.480 --> 15:08.000 does seem to be that whenever I get emotional, it doesn't matter which way the emotions 15:08.000 --> 15:11.920 are going, people really like it, and they like it even more when Patricia laughs at me. 15:11.920 --> 15:16.400 Hey, Adam, this is Tristan Tom, comment out of the San Francisco Bay area with regards 15:16.400 --> 15:21.080 to daily source code number 395, and the problems that you were having with your mixer 15:21.080 --> 15:22.080 and microphone combination. 15:22.080 --> 15:26.840 I think one of the cardinal rules of professionalism is don't call attention to 15:26.840 --> 15:31.200 problems, just continue on as if there's no problem, and most of the listeners probably 15:31.200 --> 15:32.880 wouldn't even notice anyway. 15:32.880 --> 15:35.120 Wow, so there's a lot in that statement right there. 15:35.120 --> 15:39.480 First of all, professional, I mean, what is professional? 15:39.480 --> 15:44.720 I thought we all agreed professional means you get paid for something instead of amateur, 15:44.720 --> 15:51.200 root word, which comes from stems from doing something for love, and I think I'm much 15:51.200 --> 15:57.640 more amateur than I am, professional, but isn't the whole point of podcasting is not 15:57.640 --> 16:02.720 to Matt, well, I guess it's not the point, but isn't the beauty of podcasting often that, 16:02.720 --> 16:07.160 you know, you get it with the warts and all the crap all bundled in it. 16:07.160 --> 16:11.280 I have to say, even though I considered stopping that and starting the recording all over 16:11.280 --> 16:17.840 again many times, I really enjoy the response, and I think the outcome was actually much 16:17.840 --> 16:22.400 better than if we had stopped and started to re-record everything, particularly because 16:22.400 --> 16:28.760 now you hear how Patricia is kept me sane for 20 years, but also please understand that 16:28.760 --> 16:33.120 this was not just, you know, what you were hearing was not what I was hearing, and that 16:33.120 --> 16:38.280 is partially my fault, but it was impossible to communicate because, you know, I have a 16:38.280 --> 16:42.000 certain way of talking to the microphone, it's the same mixer, the same microphone, everything 16:42.000 --> 16:46.880 was all the same, almost everything was the same, I have to say. 16:46.880 --> 16:50.760 If all of a sudden you have to like step back and you can't pop your keys and you have 16:50.760 --> 16:55.160 to be so self-conscious of stuff, it's very hard to work that way, and so yeah, it may 16:55.160 --> 17:02.160 have sounded professional, quote, professional, but I would have been too preoccupied with 17:02.160 --> 17:08.240 trying to keep the sound sane in my, you know, the stuff that I was hearing. 17:08.240 --> 17:13.920 But getting flustered and frustrated and whining and just killing, it's human, it really 17:13.920 --> 17:19.240 doesn't help, and also you come across as being a baby, but professional, no, when you 17:19.240 --> 17:20.240 do that. 17:20.240 --> 17:21.240 Human. 17:21.240 --> 17:25.240 Problem with the majority of listeners didn't even notice any problem, and I can 17:25.240 --> 17:26.240 know. 17:26.240 --> 17:27.240 Yeah, that's not true, man. 17:27.240 --> 17:31.560 This show, if, if I had not said anything, people would have, it would have been exactly 17:31.560 --> 17:35.920 the opposite, it would have been, everyone's focus would have somehow gone to the popping 17:35.920 --> 17:40.440 sounds and all the crapping, crapping out sounds that we had, so I don't think that's 17:40.440 --> 17:43.480 it true, I think people definitely would have noticed, and that would have become a focus 17:43.480 --> 17:44.480 of attention. 17:44.480 --> 17:48.280 Just stand that you noticed it, because you are a perfectionist and you really pay attention 17:48.280 --> 17:53.960 to that kind of stuff, and even if a few people, let's move, even if you listeners, even 17:53.960 --> 17:57.800 if they did notice, I don't think it's a big deal, I mean, your show sounds great, the 17:57.800 --> 18:03.120 majority of the time, I'm sure people will understand if one or two shows a year aren't 18:03.120 --> 18:09.560 optimal in terms of the quality, the audio quality, but making such a big deal out of it, 18:09.640 --> 18:13.680 getting off-flustered, yelling and screaming, getting worked up, I think that's very 18:13.680 --> 18:14.680 unforecracked. 18:14.680 --> 18:16.200 It's so exciting and good. 18:16.200 --> 18:21.320 Had you just continued on with the normal show, not called attention to the problem, 18:21.320 --> 18:27.320 I think it would have even been a big deal, nobody would have even noticed, so I mean, 18:27.320 --> 18:31.080 just simply not calling attention to what I think would have been a solution, or I guess 18:31.080 --> 18:37.120 you could have started the show again, you know, the problem started the show again, but 18:37.120 --> 18:42.360 I think you did the wrong thing in terms of getting all worked up about it. 18:42.360 --> 18:46.760 Anyway, just my comments continue on with the great work I love the show, and I will continue 18:46.760 --> 18:47.760 listening. 18:47.760 --> 18:50.680 This is Tristan from the San Francisco Bay area signing out. 18:50.680 --> 18:51.680 Oh, Tristan. 18:51.680 --> 18:54.920 And by the way, of course, I appreciate the feedback, but here's what happened, and a whole 18:54.920 --> 18:59.520 bunch of technical guys were on to a right away, Cas Blaster Mike sent me an email, he said 18:59.520 --> 19:04.400 that he had to dry off his keyboard from crying, he was laughing so hard, but the power 19:04.400 --> 19:08.240 supply that I had acquired just wasn't strong enough. 19:08.240 --> 19:12.320 In fact, after I figured out that this indeed was the problem, I felt the power supply 19:12.320 --> 19:17.240 with my hand, it was boiling hot, so what really happened was I never, yeah, I tested it 19:17.240 --> 19:21.960 with two microphones, and both microphones worked, but what I hadn't figured, it affected 19:21.960 --> 19:26.000 into the equation is that Patricia's brand new headphones, because I don't, we didn't 19:26.000 --> 19:31.320 really get to talk about that, but we went to buy headphones because probably the same 19:31.320 --> 19:35.600 issue with the power supply, when she was using the earbuds, it didn't work at all, 19:35.600 --> 19:36.600 she couldn't hear anything. 19:36.600 --> 19:41.880 That's when we were in the Waldorf Astoria, and we did our show from there on Wednesday, 19:41.880 --> 19:42.880 last Wednesday. 19:42.880 --> 19:45.240 So, she got these beautiful, what are they Sony's? 19:45.240 --> 19:46.240 I think they're Sony's. 19:46.240 --> 19:47.240 Yeah. 19:47.240 --> 19:55.080 Sony, dynamic stereo headphones, the MDRV600, it's like there's 8 million headphones. 19:55.080 --> 19:58.440 She says, I want that one, I want that one there, and she points to it, and that's what 19:58.440 --> 20:03.760 she wanted, and the $200 headphones, but man, are they good, but the power supply couldn't 20:03.760 --> 20:09.480 drive the amplifier to power both her headphones and my headphones. 20:09.480 --> 20:14.200 Whenever we really started to, whenever it was an over-modulation, when we talked into the 20:14.200 --> 20:17.920 Mikely loudly, or whenever she laughed, which is, I love it when she laughed and to have 20:17.920 --> 20:23.240 everything crap out, the mixer literally would start shutting down, and to add the insult 20:23.240 --> 20:26.960 to injury, I was listening to a whole different mix, I had messed around with so many buttons 20:26.960 --> 20:30.800 trying to figure this out, trying to be professional, trying to not let on that something 20:30.800 --> 20:35.160 was wrong, and trying to fix it while Patricia and I were talking, multitasking, that I 20:35.160 --> 20:38.960 hit some wrong buttons, I was listening to a completely wrong output, and it sounded like 20:38.960 --> 20:40.440 total crap to my ears. 20:40.440 --> 20:48.560 Hey, I just got finished listening to the podcast 395, to the whole thing, we had to listen 20:48.560 --> 20:54.840 to you, bitching and moaning about the sound, the sound effects and everything, and you had 20:54.840 --> 20:59.880 to wrong input into your head the whole time, so we had to suffer because you said 20:59.880 --> 21:00.880 it up front. 21:00.880 --> 21:04.000 Do a little show prep, you don't make us do that, or do I. 21:04.000 --> 21:07.560 I've done so much show prep, but I thought I had it all squared away anyway, we're back 21:07.560 --> 21:08.560 to the old sound. 21:08.560 --> 21:13.640 Actually, now I'm using these new Patricia headphones, and I'm not sure what the, it all 21:13.640 --> 21:14.640 sounds great. 21:14.640 --> 21:20.280 Now, it's very hard to make it sound shitty, I hope it's not just the headphones. 21:20.280 --> 21:27.200 So I mentioned at the end of yesterday's show that where Earthlink is putting their 21:27.200 --> 21:33.240 money where your mouth is, and we want you to create a great Earthlink commercial that 21:33.240 --> 21:38.200 fits within a podcast, fits within a daily source code, or the podcast if you're liking 21:38.200 --> 21:40.400 actually. 21:40.400 --> 21:44.720 We've called it the ad challenge, you can find that at adchallenge.podshow.com and 21:44.720 --> 21:45.720 there's a couple of examples. 21:45.720 --> 21:51.400 You could do a jingle, you could do a commercial, you could do an endorsement, and really 21:51.400 --> 21:55.240 you can do anything you want, you don't necessarily have to have it fit exactly in one 21:55.240 --> 22:01.520 of those three categories, but for all those people who moaned about the Earthlink commercial 22:01.520 --> 22:06.680 now is your shot, and by the way, you can actually win very valuable cash prizes if you 22:06.680 --> 22:09.640 do participate, and if you are a winner, and there will be many winners. 22:09.640 --> 22:13.480 3rd one uses for baby wipes, welcome you to the Daddy Battle. 22:13.480 --> 22:17.560 It's Daddy Panel number two with James B from Face the Music, the Naval Cast.

the Stranger, and 17,000 22:26.360 --> 22:28.440 other podcasts, I can't remember the name of it. 22:28.440 --> 22:30.440 Give your kid a poker chip in the middle of the mall. 22:30.440 --> 22:32.440 Yeah, we're playing Texas hold of it tonight, you know. 22:32.440 --> 22:36.680 And we're joined by a new member this week, and that is Ringmaster Gregg from Dancing With 22:36.680 --> 22:37.680 Elephants. 22:37.680 --> 22:38.680 Welcome Gregg. 22:38.680 --> 22:42.280 Well, as I recall, I believe I might have set my palm pilot count it off six weeks 22:42.280 --> 22:43.680 and set my palm pilot with a day. 22:43.680 --> 22:45.680 Okay, that's a total geek out right there. 22:45.680 --> 22:48.120 With your host, did it's great. 22:48.120 --> 22:52.320 On the Daddy Panel, we discuss issues like House and News 2 soon, don't I mean, there's 22:52.320 --> 22:54.680 too much TV, really a bad thing? 22:54.680 --> 22:56.960 How do you reward your kid for good behavior? 22:56.960 --> 23:00.680 I think I threatened more, if I'm not happy, ain't nobody happy. 23:00.680 --> 23:03.680 Find us on the web at 1-0-1-usesforbabywipes.com. 23:03.680 --> 23:07.680 We're also an iTunes, the podcast, music network, and your favorite podcast director. 23:07.680 --> 23:08.680 God. 23:08.680 --> 23:14.680 I've got to say, man, once again, we had a great trip with Virgin Atlantic. 23:14.680 --> 23:17.680 Those people really got it figured out. 23:17.680 --> 23:24.040 I am now apparently a unique customer, and I found this out when I checked in. 23:24.040 --> 23:30.060 And what happens is during the flight, even sitting in the lounge, Virgin employees 23:30.060 --> 23:34.820 will come up to me and introduce themselves, and as to anything we can do, and of course, 23:34.820 --> 23:38.620 I was asking for strippers and gotten none of that. 23:38.620 --> 23:39.620 But it was great. 23:39.620 --> 23:44.940 It was so nice once again, just that extra little attention to detail, which is paying 23:44.940 --> 23:51.180 for crying out loud, that I didn't really even feel like bitching about the fact that 23:51.180 --> 23:56.420 we had an older model airplane, or interior at least, so we didn't have the full on-demand 23:56.420 --> 23:59.540 system yet to wait for all the movies to start, which kind of suck. 23:59.540 --> 24:00.540 Oh, I saw the movie Prime. 24:00.540 --> 24:02.980 Oh, no, I'm sorry, not Prime. 24:02.980 --> 24:06.540 Proof with the Gueneth Paltro. 24:06.540 --> 24:12.540 Wow, what a great movie, what a beautiful story, and if you haven't seen that movie, it's 24:12.540 --> 24:13.540 probably on DVD. 24:13.540 --> 24:17.900 I didn't even heard of it before, so maybe you want straight to video, but you have 24:17.900 --> 24:18.900 to check this movie out. 24:18.900 --> 24:24.860 If you're into a really good story, Anthony Hopkins also co-stars, it's really only 24:24.860 --> 24:29.500 three main actors, it's all about the story in this case. 24:29.500 --> 24:34.140 As Wednesday, which means we've got the Frank Truth coming up on serious sad light stars 24:34.140 --> 24:38.980 102, Michael Butler, of course, with the Rock and Roll indie cast Gilmore Daily Dawn and 24:38.980 --> 24:44.300 Drew, yeast radio, but first we've got Pacific Coast Hellway standing by for you on serious 24:44.300 --> 24:46.540 stars 102, as our satellite window is closing. 24:46.540 --> 24:51.820 I'll talk to all you guys on the sad light tomorrow on our Thursday show. 24:51.820 --> 24:59.460 For those of you here on the podcast, another piece of ketchup I have to do is about 24:59.460 --> 25:03.420 second life and the financial model about inflation. 25:03.420 --> 25:08.940 You remember that we got a little bit of feedback about that from the financial aid podcast, 25:08.940 --> 25:13.340 and here's a follow-up, which we, of course, placed into our 10-foil hat moment. 25:13.340 --> 25:16.540 Hey, Adam, I'm a follow-up to your questions. 25:16.540 --> 25:20.940 Reverseing inflation in the video game's second life is tough, but stopping it is easy. 25:20.940 --> 25:24.900 Linden Labs just needs to stop creating more money than it takes out of circulation. 25:24.900 --> 25:28.380 The biggest sources of inflation are the second life welfare payments every Tuesday, 25:28.380 --> 25:33.420 $500 paid subscribers, $50 free subscribers, and the traffic bonuses where landowners 25:33.420 --> 25:36.300 who have highly traffic sims get additional payouts. 25:36.300 --> 25:39.900 The latter is coming to an end this month, but a second life gets more popular, the welfare 25:39.900 --> 25:43.700 payments will either have to continue causing inflation, or Linden Labs will need to find 25:43.700 --> 25:46.940 a different way to get new players into the game, with a reasonable amount of starting 25:46.940 --> 25:49.500 cash while keeping the economy stable. 25:49.500 --> 25:52.860 Incidentally, you probably don't want Alan Green's ban running the second life economy 25:52.860 --> 25:54.420 or any economy. 25:54.420 --> 25:58.700 Green Green spends 10 years fed chairman, U.S. currency inflated from $3.5 trillion 25:58.700 --> 26:02.860 to $10.2 trillion, over the span of 19 years, a $7 trillion increase. 26:02.860 --> 26:08.260 A $1,000 purchase in 1987 would today cost you $1,681. 26:08.260 --> 26:12.260 Put another way, $1.00 at the beginning of Green's spends 10-year would today only be worth 26:12.260 --> 26:13.260 $59 cents. 26:13.260 --> 26:17.900 Again, some conspiracy theorists and economists believed that the extra $7 trillion he created 26:17.900 --> 26:21.940 had to go somewhere, and that somewhere was the stock market bubble of the late 90s. 26:21.940 --> 26:23.420 The housing bubble now. 26:23.420 --> 26:27.740 The golden freshest metals bubble just starting, and the fossil fuel bubble on the horizon, 26:27.740 --> 26:29.740 which hopefully Trinity will be an answer to. 26:29.740 --> 26:33.660 This is Chris from the Financial Aid podcast with a follow-up on the tinfoil hat moment. 26:33.660 --> 26:35.900 Check us out at financialadepodguest.com. 26:35.900 --> 26:37.900 Thank you, man. 26:37.900 --> 26:38.900 Appreciate it. 26:38.900 --> 26:45.180 Okay, so for those of you who have never heard of second life, it's a virtual world where 26:45.180 --> 26:51.140 you can basically chat, but you interact with other people, but you can build things and 26:51.140 --> 26:52.140 create things. 26:52.140 --> 26:58.100 Their own currency is called Linden Dollars, after the Linden Corporation who runs this 26:58.100 --> 27:03.380 virtual world, and I got a real problem. 27:03.380 --> 27:09.340 Now the Pod Show Palace is on a rented piece of land. 27:09.340 --> 27:13.220 This is about all this about this inflation stuff. 27:13.220 --> 27:19.660 And I've only paid one month's rent, and so another month's rent is due today, I believe. 27:19.660 --> 27:28.060 But the rent was raised significantly, just with an IAM from Miss Business Week, Miss 27:28.060 --> 27:32.900 Anci Chung, because of inflation within second life. 27:32.900 --> 27:39.260 Now what this means is that if I were to actually put, it's like $25, not a huge deal. 27:39.260 --> 27:44.540 So I still put the same US dollars in there, but if I'm using money that I earned within 27:44.540 --> 27:55.420 second life, it's worth less than it was a week ago, and I actually have to pay more 27:55.420 --> 27:57.420 for the rent. 27:57.420 --> 27:58.420 This makes no sense. 27:58.420 --> 28:03.140 First of all, I think I'm getting jacked by Miss Chung Enterprises. 28:03.140 --> 28:07.300 There's no real, yeah, there's a kind of, I don't know what kind of contract there is. 28:07.300 --> 28:11.460 I mean, it's just like, here's this piece of land painting now and you're done. 28:11.460 --> 28:16.020 Now she's raising, raising, raising, raising, this way, if inflation continues, no one will 28:16.020 --> 28:21.060 be able to make any money, because money you want to take out of the game, I'll just 28:21.060 --> 28:27.660 call it a game in this instance, and turn it into US currency, you have a huge disadvantage 28:27.660 --> 28:28.940 with these inflation rates. 28:28.940 --> 28:36.780 So I'm very bearish on second life, and if this inflation continues, I'm out because 28:36.820 --> 28:43.780 it's stupid, and if they really want to work something out, besides having the next 28:43.780 --> 28:52.260 generation user interface, what's up, baby, what do you, why, what's funny, I'm, I have 28:52.260 --> 28:53.260 to laugh. 28:53.260 --> 28:54.260 Why? 28:54.260 --> 28:59.100 Well, I was just actually walking by, and at could hear you talk about second life. 28:59.100 --> 29:01.780 I explained the inflation, but I explained what it was. 29:01.780 --> 29:02.780 Yeah. 29:02.780 --> 29:11.780 So it's as fucked up as you know, I, there you go, thank you, thank you very much. 29:11.780 --> 29:20.980 It is as fucked up, and I said phones, yeah, floating away, floating, floating, floating 29:20.980 --> 29:21.980 on. 29:21.980 --> 29:28.420 And my name is Larry, and I'm a Libra, and I get out of here, and I'm right, fuck you very 29:28.420 --> 29:34.740 much, Mr. Adam Curry, but stupid microphone, it's no need to worry. 29:34.740 --> 29:41.940 The AC European correspondent is here, and I am not speaking from my rear. 29:41.940 --> 29:48.580 I was living in six EU lens, so it's me, who EU understands. 29:48.580 --> 29:57.420 What's up in EU nowadays, it's another EU announcement phase, Bulgaria and Romania are joining, 29:57.420 --> 30:05.340 and all EU workers find it disappointing, Bulgaria and Romania come to EU in 2007, but 30:05.340 --> 30:12.860 first to Germany comes soccer heaven, where at the Cup 2006 starts on 9th June, and it 30:12.860 --> 30:21.300 could be fun, and not Danish cartoon, cheap airlines in Europe there's a lot, so come to Germany 30:21.300 --> 30:23.260 and enjoy soccer part. 30:23.260 --> 30:33.020 Oh, y'all, comic strip blogger everybody, oh, actually I should have done your comic strip. 30:33.020 --> 30:42.540 Comic strip, comic strip, comic strip, comic strip, if you thought inflation was a reason 30:42.540 --> 30:45.300 to get pissed off at second life, check out this message. 30:46.180 --> 30:52.500 Adam, I've just come to a little second life, and it's always a new version of everyone 30:52.500 --> 30:58.260 I've got to download it, we have done, and I just want to go through the release notes, 30:58.260 --> 31:04.500 and on the other changes, the first sentence, the ability to create joins has been removed 31:04.500 --> 31:12.020 in the tools, man, you've always talking about the same kind of joins, 31:12.100 --> 31:17.300 to just mean the second lungs to the visual world, as well as the SAC or the Cruisal, 31:17.300 --> 31:19.300 no more second lungs than the potfala. 31:27.940 --> 31:34.180 I didn't know that that was on the toolbar to start with, I still got a couple in my inventory though, 31:34.180 --> 31:35.220 that's for sure. 31:35.220 --> 31:39.620 Yeah, Adam, this is Mike Colin from Cali, I'm a listener slash geek who occasionally works 31:39.620 --> 31:44.340 on install projects, and about a month ago I worked on a thousand plus blanks on install 31:44.340 --> 31:48.740 for two of the major record labels, and so first off, when I trip to get an inside look at the 31:48.740 --> 31:52.180 record business from top to bottom, but at the same time, I got to tell you, I've been in a 31:52.180 --> 31:55.940 lot of different industry offices and record books or pigs, I mean, I've never seen someone 31:55.940 --> 32:00.500 to crap in my life, and the amount of money being spent on crap, man, I was hoping to see 32:00.500 --> 32:05.140 the word podcast somewhere, but no luck, in fact, it was kind of sad to see all the CDs and 32:05.140 --> 32:08.820 old media, no digital players, it was kind of like it was taboo or something. 32:08.820 --> 32:12.900 You know when it comes to these albums being leaked early, I was surprised to see these 32:12.900 --> 32:17.060 record labels. I mean, it was ridiculous in the average office and think stack of CDs being 32:17.060 --> 32:21.700 set to folks way before release.
