This is money. Bill Nye talking about the gyroball.
“At any rate, the key to this seems to be that Matsuzaka is some kind of smooth athlete. He can throw with his wrist going all different directions and not ruin his muscles and ligaments in the process, at least so far. He’s just good at it.”
If you tried to register for the SN forums between 10am and 3pm (central) then you may not receive a confirmation/activation email. I had neglected to turn on the SMTP options for the forums. Sorry about that. If that applies to you (and I know there were 2 “guests” who were on around that time), leave a comment (or send an email) with your username and I’ll activate it through the admin panel. Or, conversely, you can just re-register and this time you should get an email for sure. Sorry about the mix up.
Just a little heads up that the forums over at SavvyNation are up and running. I got phpBB installed this morning and things seem to be looking ok. I’ve decided to get the forums up and the website finished before releasing any content. That way, when I start putting things out on iTunes, Odeo, Podpickle, etc, people will actually have something to go to.
If you guys have any interest at all, please register at the forums and I’ll make you moderators right on the spot. Even if you don’t want to “moderate” anything, having a few members would go a long way. Also, feel free to start chatting it up in there, if for no other reason than to help me make sure it’s atually working. There’s a general/off-topic section as well as things like games and movies. If you have any suggestions on addition categories to add, please let me know.
As an update on the actual podcast itself, I’ve recorded 3 episodes, which are about dated tech-news topics at this point. It’s all just practice for me. I’d like to be able to talk coherently when I “go live” with this thing. I figure I’ll get 8 or 10 “practice” episodes under my belt before I start publishing them. My plan is to do them on Mondays since it’s my only real day off. I’ll try and record in the morning, lightly edit by lunch and post episodes Monday night. At least that’s the plan. We’ll have to see how it goes.
So, anyways, register in the forums, tell your friends, all that good jazz.
With my vast wedding experience, I’ve decided to coin a new term. I’m hoping it gets absorbed into the daily English lexicon. Are you prepared?
“Wedding Lesbians”
The definition of a wedding lesbian is any girl who, after any number of alcoholic beverages, “dirty dances” with another girl, typically at a wedding reception. These girls are not lesbians in their daily sexual orientation. No, these are girls are only interested in other girls after a half dozen martinis and while listening to “Brick House”. Normally the effects of “wedding lesbianism” wear off after an hour or two or whenever the DJ plays something slow, whichever comes first.
See, you learn something new every day. Now, the next time you’re at a wedding and you see this phenominon, don’t hesitate to point out these people to other guests. When they ask you what on earth your problem is, just tell’em I said it was ok.
Routinely, I give out fake information to people and businesses. I don’t do it out of spite… well… actually, yeah I probably do. I see zero need for the people at Best Buy, Circuit City, Radioshack, Home Depot or any of the other million buisnesses that claim they need that information, to actually have that information. I bought a DVD from them, that’s all they should care about. They don’t need to know my life story. Isn’t the fact that I’m buying Tombstone on DVD for the 4th time telling enough?
So, not seeing the need to treat these information whoring stores with any respect, I make up stuff. I do it daily. For the longest time I would make up someone completely. Biff Hardrock or Jonny Hammer, something like that. Unfortunatly, those sound like wrestling names. Come to find out that your average BestBuy employee goes home and watches nothing but WWE when their shift is done, and this started to raise a few eyebrows. So, I decided to find out exactly what level of education these folks have. If they can recognise my fake names, they’ll often smile knowingly and put the data into the computer anyway. I feel that in some small way I just made their day a little brighter.
I started off pretty hardcore, throwing around names like Kofi Annan, Dashiell Hammett and Dean Moriarty. Quickly realizing no one had any idea who those people were, I aimed a little lower. Currently I have three that I use interchangeably…
Arthur Dent, Art Bell and John McClane. You’d be surprised how many people just put stuff like this into the computer and don’t even think about it…

I enjoy doing this way to much.
