The only backwards leap I can think of broadcast TV. I know that some people would argue that the new digital signal is better, except that the broadcast area is smaller and that instead of slightly fuzzy TV at the edges of reception, there’s none.Digital means 1 or 0 by definition and therefor, there is no kinda fuzzy. When they made the switch to digital, I was excited and got a converter box and everything. And when they made the switch, I lost all of my channels. Nothing. No TV. I was so disappointed. I still my Charlie Rose and The New Yankee Workshop.

I do remember 10 because yaye, double digits! But I feel the same way regarding 35 being worse than 30, 45 being worse than 40. At 37, I’m almost looking forward to 40 but not so much 45.

I’m excited about the new album with the great art, hooray! (and thank you for the opportunity for minions to get in on the email list since was one that missed out, alas)

As far as birthdays go, 16 and 20 both struck me.

20 was sort of a “holy shit I’m not a teenager anymore” and “holy shit I’m a score old” and “holy shit ‘September 11th’ was 9 years ago” and “holy shit I’ll be 21 next year and then my next major birthday after that is 30.”

16 was more about context, because that MTV show My Super Sweet 16 was really big (you know, the show with the rich kids micromanaging these giant parties they don’t deserve?), and I went to high school with kids like that.

The girls on My Super Sweet 16 looked so much older than me, even if they were also giant babies – they were savvy with clothes and hair and money on a level that I’ll probably never get to, while acting completely entitled and having screamy unhealthy relationships with their parents.

Weirdest thing about my 16th birthday was that my parents were willing to give me the princess treatment if I asked for it. Instead, maybe to deliberately go against the “Super Sweet 16″ idiom, I took a pack of my friends bowling and and then to see Dr. Strangelove (during which most of my friends fell asleep).

Hit 30 last year. It was especially tough. Won’t go in to details, but yeah….there was brooding to be had.

[...] Our bridal party, and then lots of other people, joined us on the floor for the second dance: a swing, to the accompaniment of one of our favorite songs. We’d first heard Paul and Storm in concert on one of our earliest dates, promptly fell in love with their brand of nerdy humor, and soon discovered our shared personal theme music: “Oh No, You’re Talking Out Your Ass Again.” [...]

I’m digging the art for the new album. Molly did a great job. I’m also super excited about w00tstock 2.2. Thanks for bringing it within driving distance of Michigan.

@Other Minion: If I found that as a FTF prize, I would be super excited. So, feel free to drop it off in a cache near me.

Love the artwork for the CD (Notice i said CD….I’m old but i can’t believe you guys still refer to it as the new album!) Stoked about the USB Drive as well…I’ll probably get two…one would make a great geocache FTF prize. (I think i’m bringing the comments to new geek levels). Anywho, excited about the reveals and looking forward to the other coming shenanigans. P.S. I didn’t know you guys stayed in seattle for the vancouver trip….I thought that foamy hot tub looked familiar…I was at that same Westin a few weeks prior. (and you don’t wanna know what went down in that hot tub….it’s probably why they needed so much soap in it!)

I’m turning 30 in seven weeks, but I’ve been sort of rounding up to it since the beginning of the year, possibly in an attempt to ease into it for myself and/or my mom. (She was rattled enough when my older brother hit 30 a few years ago, but I’m the baby.) It’s not that it’s a traumatic thing, but big round numbers do have a certain feeling of significance.

I look forward to exchanging many shiny rocks for your new swag at PAX East. And hopefully again at the hypothetical Boston w00tstock.

Is it just me or does “Bastian, say my name” have a whole different connotation in the post-American Pie era? Just me? Really? Ooooh… awkward…

Comment on Minneapolis, MN – Guthrie Theater by Russ Rogers (of Godz Poodlz)

Russ Rogers (of Godz Poodlz) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:30:18 +0000

I will be there! Q: are you looking for more acts to fill the wOOtstock 2.3 bill? May I suggest Song Fu vets, Godz Poodlz? godzpoodlz.bandcamp.com They are local, very funny and geeky, talented and have a growing fan following. Although their legionz of fanz don’t compare to your minions.

Also, consider your good friend, the Fabulous Lorraine Garland. She’s very entertaining and might be able to convince her boss to make a guest appearance too!

In defense of Vancouver:
1) We average two coffee shops on EVERY BLOCK, all equipped with free wifi, and you picked Blenz? Bad luck, there.
2) The Rio IS in kind of a seedy area, but it has nothing on the Downtown East Side. (Related: You probably don’t ever want to play the Rickshaw Theatre.)
3) Ten minutes and $2.50 could have had you in the centre of Olympic frenzy, but you did not have enough free time for me to press the issue.

I hope your next visit to Vancouver is less underwhelming! We look forward to having you back.

I was sufficiently unimpressed with being in my late twenties that it became difficult to remember my exact age; as of my most recent birthday I just tell people I am “30ish for the foreseeable future”.

Ooh, happy birthday, Paul! Thank you for sharing this figOh wow I can’t believe I just accidentally typed ‘fig’ when I meant to write ‘giftful’ of secret personal history; I feel like we’re much closer now. How I envy Kim and Greg.

At the beginning of the song, they imply that Paul does not have balls, and yet, he has rather a large left one. I guess that’s just a small balls-up.

Me Make Fire. You can never perform it live, but you could probably have a crapload of fun mapping one of the guitars to the horn section.

You know how whenever someone plays Bon Jovi at a party everyone joins in? Me Make Fire could be like that, if for an audience 1% the size.

You’d have to have two versions of “The Captain’s Wife’s Lament”: The “album version” and then the 13-minute “live version” (PDX?) where you can get all your drunk friends to do “dejected arrr” together.

Comment on Rock Band Network – What Songs? by Jason

Jason — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:28:59 +0000

All of the songs are great, but as far as translating well to the Rock Band game, I think Your Town works the best.

Plus, imagine irony of millions of people all over the nation (world even) singing about a rock band coming to a generic “your town” and thinking it is awesome. It is like a Moebius strip looping back on itself, it could cause a black hole to form!

Sure, put up the video if’n you wanna.

Scallions and green/spring onions are both varieties in the onion family, but they’re more alike than not and pretty much interchangeable. Depending on the application, they could be substituted with leeks or chives. [/cookingnerd]

Hey, the Tone Deaf Eagles are back!

Looking forward to seeing you guys at PAX East!

Nice podcast! You do know that that was Adam Savage being pulled out of the water in the “You’re Only Human” video, right? Storm, when you told your sorry tale I wanted to travel back in time, go to Acapulco, and punch those tour guides in the nose. What kind of men strand a kid in the ocean?

I must say, I’m not so much a fan of the other pickles all being the same size now, how’d that happen?

Still, swanky mug is tempting
