You are so loud, Matt.

This is the first podcast I've listened to, and it was great. I have a submission for Gus, the Gumbaby woman, but it looks like the comments are closed. Anyway, it's a link to a web page where people think they are leaving messages for Bill Murray and it's a hoot. Hope she sees it. BTW, Jessamyn, you have a great musical laugh.

Wait, you're only loud when talking about ROFLCON, which must be some kind of meta-statement about the internet.

huh, I tried a bunch of "Bill Murray [keyword]" searches and it looks like that blog entry comes up in the top 4 results when you put "write Bill Murray" into Google. The first three are obvious bio pages about Bill Murray, so maybe people are posting on the blog because it appears a human wrote it and it looks like a personal essay from Bill (that is being quoted, but blockquotes are subtle) and there's a big comment form below.

Good job as always.

The music was fantastic, and I'm now a fan of Kristy London and the Other Halves.

Maybe not the right place to post this, but the top 10 favorite projects page is borked.

My project just shows up as the date, without the title.

Afroblanco, you were the guy mentioned with no Title on your project. I'll go add one.

Jessamyn, you didn't ever visit the Hampshire College yurt?! It's insulated, temperature-controlled, and is wired for the internet!

I just looked at the jobs page and indeed, all web stuff. And no MeFi jobs within a 100 miles of here. Not that I'd commute beyond 10 miles...

Good podcast, thanks!

THe kingbenny song is magnificent, thanks.

I agree with Matt about the preponderance of web jobs! I may post to MeTa to urge more sharing of library/arts/culture jobs. I know they're out there and I know you folks know about 'em!

Dude. I was wondering why my storm recording got a flurry of favorites a couple days ago! Thanks for the include. And yeah, I wish it was longer.

I just went from thinking "I could maybe tape some waves sometime" to thinking "gah, sudden freakin' heatwave, I should go to the beach RIGHT NOW." I'm off to Ocean Beach. Wish me luck!

Okay - currently uploading, the sound of the waves. About an hour's worth.

Thanks, Jessamyn!

I worry about encoding artifacts, but I doubt I could listen to it & stay awake right now.

... although, if it ever comes up again, my name is vocalized as P.S. Mealey (my initials and surname). I heard "Pee Smealey", and thought: "hmmm.... that's not good. I don't even like asparagus."

death of the author man

I read this as if an analogue of "Death of a Salesman". Like maybe the world-shaking 57th issue of Author Man's series, in which he is killed by a vengeful publisher.

I just got a chance to listen to this today. You guys did a great job. That was so fun, so true, and mostly so funny. You guys should get a show on Comedy Central - Stewart, Colbert, West/Haughey.
