New thing
evanwalsh: I want to start a project where I get a group of people to call random numbers. When the person answers, we tell them something like: “You don’t know me and I don’t know you, but I just want you to know that everything is going to be ok.” Then, we hang up and move on. It might brighten some days. I’m in.
“i am just sick of guys who are 2s hitting on me. I’d like to think...”

The first 2:20 of this video (totaly safe for work until exactly 2:06) is the best introduction to a porno that I’ve ever seen.
Miscommunication:
sophiniesom: A co-worker got a pen stuck inside our printer. He started to try and remove the pen, but I told him we don’t have time for that now, just put a note on the printer telling folks not to use it and then report it to the Help Desk. So he grabbed a piece of paper and scrawled on it. I left before he finished the note. About 20 minutes later, one of my techs comes in laughing and says...

Fuck re-recording. I have five hours of free time, and six years of editing experience. The linked screenshot is a labor of love. Look for this on the feed, Monday morning.
Friday Morning Vocab.
bk: We're recording early enough so that the only people that have an excuse not to watch are people who are too socially ept to watch a live podcast on a Friday night.
Sean: "Ept"? I don't think it works that way.
bk: Sure, I just removed the "in" prefix
Sean: You can't just remove a prefix and expect a word to be real.
bk: You understood me, right?
Sean: Yes.
bk: Then it worked.
Sean: Yeah, but-
bk: It's a perfectly cromulent word.

PodShow Relaunches as Mevio « NewTeeVee →
PodShow is changing its name to Mevio and tomorrow will launch a revamped web site that includes more features for watchers and listeners of its content. Ugh. Failure on so many levels.
Unpaid internships →
Marco is taking a strong stance against unpaid internships. I strongly agree, but with a but. Many companies have completely lost the idea of what an intern should be. While I was hunting for my (required) college internship, the first company wanted to take me as a camera/steadicam operator, so I could train another guy to do the same job. I shot them down, and got a different internship. ...

This mix blew my mind, and kept me up late. Next time you’re going to be at your computer for 20 minutes, listen to this. If you’re not already on thesixtyone, check it out… it’s a godsend of a website. My name there is Brianisinyou.
I have a ton of vocal recording equipment here
…I also have a very solid narration/reading voice. Could somebody tell me how to profit from these things?
This is a short selection from last night’s...

Meaning behind Panasonic's Model Names
ianlee: HPX = P2 recording. HVX = DV recording. The “V” means there’s a DV tape drive present. So that’s not an indication of quality or anything, it’s not a “label” or a “brand”, it’s a model specification. D=standard def, H=high def. V=DV tape, D=DVCPRO tape, P=P2. Thanks Barry Green! Ahh, there’s so many useful things that the Art Institute neglected to teach me.

Our neighbors are loud.
peter: i don't think we can say much to the neighbors upstairs, as long as you own a guitar, Sean owns a bass and we all stay up past midnight.
bk: you need drums
bk: jesus, we could be awesome/annoying
peter: you guys play and I'll just fire a gun.
Sean: there can't be some quick and simple way to do it
bk: a sun setting over a lake of jello, with proper fluid dynamics, in 3D.
bk: is that so much to ask?
Sean: is that a rhetorical question?
bk: depends on the answer.
