i’m on major nelson’s podcast

When I was in Seattle for Child’s Play dinner and D&D with Acquisitions, Incorporated, I got to go to Microsoft’s Millennium campus, where I did a podcast with Major Nelson.

We talked about a lot of different things (mostly gaming, which will probably be unsurprising considering that it’s a gaming-oriented podcast) but I also revealed some news that I don’t think I’ve spoken about anywhere else . . . he typed, enticingly, before leaning back in his chair and sipping his coffee. “Oh yes, that will get people to listen,” he thought. “You’re a clever one, you are.”

“Not as clever as you think!” The dog said.

He fell backward and landed on the floor, the mug shattering and splashing hot liquid across his chest. “A talking dog?! Surely this can’t be happening!”

“It is happening,” the dog said, drawing a dog-sized pistol, “and don’t call me Shirley.”

Um. What just happened?

Radio Free Burrito Episode 13

Holy Halloween Podcast! It’s a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!

Show Notes:

  • The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his “in progress” website. Thanks, Marc!
  • I drop at least one F-bomb in this show, so you probably shouldn’t listen to it around little kids, people with sensitive ears, or at work. Especially if you work in a daycare for kids with sensitive ears. (Hi, Natasha!)
  • I went ahead and made this an enhanced podcast. You know, for kids. Enjoy the pictures and links.
  • Podshow wants me to say “Some of the music provided tonight is from the PodShow Podsafe Music Network. Check it out at ‘music.podshow.com'”
  • What’s that? You want to have links to each artist’s page? I can totally do that:
  • That Halloween PSA really needs to be seen to be fully enjoyed.
  • Similarly, The Trick from Jack Chick also needs to be seen to be fully enjoyed. I edited the hell out of it (see what I did there?) to stay safely within fair use. Jack Chick strikes me as the kind of corporation that has no sense of humor, but a lot of lawyers.
  • Reader Jeremy pointed out that Don Hinson, the genius behind the awesome Monster Dance Party album (which provided the catchy Riboflavin-Flavored, Non-Carbonated, Polyunsaturated Blood) has a website, including a store where you can buy Monster Dance Party on CD. It’s not the full album that I’ve had since I was a kid, but it’s still wonderful.
  • Finally, I want to thank all the artists and labels who are participating in the podsafe music network. I hope this exposes your music to new listeners and you’re all buying mansions and yachts. If you can’t afford to buy them, I hope you can at least build them out of the bones of your enemies.
  • The show weighs in at 18.5MB and is 20 minutes long.

Okay. Got all that? Then please:

Radio Free Burrito Episode 12

Holy crap! It’s a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!

This show is all about Jonathan Coulton, because it’s the First of May.

Show Notes:

I won’t be able to update this post with mirrors, because I’m going to be in San Diego this weekend (see what I did there?) but if you make one, please leave it in the comments and I’ll update when I get home from San Diego, where I’ll be this weekend.

Enjoy the show, everyone!

Radio Free Burrito Episode 11

Holy crap!

Look out the window for restless horsemen . . . it’s a new episode of Radio Free Burrito, less than a week after the last one!

Show Notes

  • I think we should just go ahead and give this podcast the [Explicit] label, if it doesn’t have it already. Consider yourself warned.
  • The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc!
  • Episode X let me get my podcasting legs back, so I felt much better with this one, even when I had to stall while trying to splat-tab into Firefox, where I saw that I hadn’t pre-loaded my blog. Whoops.
  • I put chapters, links, and images in this one. Yay!
  • The full Code of Honor review isn’t up yet, but you can read all of my TNG Reviews at TV Squad if you haven’t already.
  • When I mentioned all the great blogs at Wired that people may not know about, I forgot to mention GeekDad. It’s not because I don’t think it’s a great blog, but because I took for granted that everyone reads it already. I also mentioned Underwire, Listening Post and Threat Level.
  • Here’s the offending Alt Text column. Here’s my Tweet. Here’s my facepalm.
  • You know you want to learn more about fabulous Palm Springs.
  • Brad Sucks does not suck. You can listen to the album I Don’t Know What I’m Doing at Magnatune.
  • Mister Bungle is a shame, because he spoils lunchtime.
  • I really do appreciate feedback; it makes me feel like I’m not broadcasting into an empty box.
  • Radio Free Burrito is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License.
  • This show is 18 minutes long, and weighs in at 16.6 MB.
  • As always, let me know if you decide to mirror the show, and I’ll update this post.

Thanks for listening!

Radio Free Burrito Episode X

Holy crap! It’s a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!

This is another music episode, focusing on three styles I really like: Rockabilly, Psychobilly, and Surf.

I found a ton of great artists on the podsafe music network, and I hope you enjoy the musical stylings they provide.

Show notes:

  • The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc!
  • I had a good time with this one, though to be completely honest, I
    wasn’t entirely comfortable with the sound of my own voice and I think
    that comes through a little bit.
  • I drop at least one F-bomb in this show, so you probably shouldn’t listen to it around little kids, people with sensitive ears, or at work. Especially if you work in a daycare for kids with sensitive ears. (Hi, Norma!)
  • I didn’t bother with chapters and all that for this one. It’s been so long since I did one of these, I just needed to get my podcasting legs back and I didn’t feel that it was worth the extra effort.
  • I played music from these awesome artists:
  • The show is 27.9MB and runs just over 30 minutes.
  • Radio Free Burrito is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License.
  • Podshow wants me to say "Some of the music provided tonight from the PodShow Podsafe Music Network. Check it out at ‘music.podshow.com’" I don’t think I said those exact words in that exact order in the show, because I’m stupid and I just noticed that right this second. But I know they were all in there, and I’ll be sure to say the fucking words correctly next time, Mister White.
  • Finally, I want to thank all the artists and labels who are participating in the podsafe music network. I hope this exposes your music to new listeners and you’re all buying mansions and yachts before the next full moon.

If you can provide a mirror, let me know in the comments and I’ll update this post.

Thanks for listening!
