Live From Inside A Colon?

Well, we weren't really sure where we were this week, but Chris DiBona stopped by anyway, and we talked about AOL's filtering, Nvidia's new X servers, and not much else, but we managed to talk for awhile. Make sure to give it a listen if you've got the time.

The ultimate Christian Musical Artist

[coaxial]

Carmen. He's a rapper. He's an R&B crooner. He's rock & roller. He is the ultimate musical giggalo.

special guests

Kurt needs to show up sometime relatively soon. Perhaps he could fill in for Rob next time he's gone.

I'm sure he would enjoy it. :)

MC-303 vs. TB-303

[XJoshX]

The TB is nothing like the MC. The TB was a mono bass synth The MC is a all in one rompler for DJ people who go: "hey it says 303". Cowboy Neil should get some real synths. No more Groove approved geeks in space.

Oh, the irony...

[Anonymous Coward]

A guy who named himself Hemos, is ridiculing the title "Cowboy Bebop"! ^_~

Ummmmm....huh?

I really don't think anyone that posted they're story on slashdot would mind having there story being published in a print form. Why would anyone want to post their story to slashdot and not want more people to hear it? I know that I certainly would want to have mine.

Ordered a martini...

[David Gould]

...and they just gave me a glass of gin.

Best kind, and I believe that's called the "Churchill Martini" -- the recipe is:

1. Strain chilled extra dry gin into glass
2. Look at a bottle of extra dry vermouth
3. Serve

Even if I didn't want it quite that dry, it would still beat the half-and-half thing that I usually get when I forget to be specific enough in ordering. It's got to be dry (though I actually prefer Bombay Sapphire even though it's not as dry as Tanqueray or Beefeater). That orange juice thing sounds interesting in its own right, but THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A SWEET MARTINI! I feel better now. By the way, I've discovered that really good things happen to the martini when you mix it in advance and keep it in the freezer overnight before drinking (shake it hard before pouring, though). Try it.

As for whiskey: a twelve-year-old single-malt scotch is where it starts being drinkable, but it should really be eighteen. However, once you're there, drinking it any way but straight would be a waste. Spending >$40/bottle also has the nice side effect of preventing you from drinking too much.

Also, about you guys having a thousand moderator points: assuming you were at least partly serious, why bother giving yourselves points instead of just unlimited access?

Finally, this may not have been the longest one you've ever done (by my clculations, it's actually the second longest, after number 25), but I'm pretty sure it's the longest that you've ever gone on after saying that you were done. Were the last eight seconds intentional?
