On the run…

Saturday, September 13, 2003

BME is currently being published from the road. I've gone nomadic. I don't have any idea where I'll be in a week, but I took these photos earlier today outside Vancouver, BC… Near Vernon I think.

I don't believe it

I think everyone knows about the $200 bill story now, but The Smoking Gun managed to get a picture of it… Come on! I can't see even the dumbest person falling for this. I mean, it's a picture of George Bush, and the White House has signs on the front lawn like “We Like Broccoli” and “No More Scandals”.

Anyway, I can't imagine that there's an explanation other than the person who passed the bill being a friend of the teller…

Happy birthday to me

…no, it's not my birthday yet, but sometimes people send cards early for a variety of reasons. This one was very nice to get, again, for a variety of reasons.

Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?

I have discovered that people like my posts more if I preface them with some sort of classic quote… and not the liberty kind — I'm talking about the kind that makes you remember when you were young enough that your biggest problems didn't involve the apocalypse.

In terms of my previous question, I think maybe that the most economical solution will be to use one computer as a mixer, that will generate output containing the music, mic, and telephone. This will feed to a second computer which will stream to the Shoutcast server… That would cost me very little to set up, so maybe it's the best solution?

Well, don't mess with the bull young man, you'll get the horns.

eat your cereal with a fork and do your homework in the dark

We, students at Westerburg High, will die. Today. Our burning bodies will be the ultimate protest to a society that degrades us. Fuck you all!

Ah, angst… I thought a bit about things I miss from days gone by. One of the things I really miss, more and more I think, is doing live radio — a long time ago I did five hours a week of it. I know it's not a lot, but it meant a lot to me. It was the Dilaudid Glide show. BMEradio was a lot of fun too, but it was produced, somewhat edited, and definitely not live… not the same thing. I think it's more real when it's live, it has something more.

If I'm able to, I think my resolution for BME in 2004 is to try and start working on not only raising BMEradio from the dead, but doing it totally live, including call-ins and the whole deal. I was thinking of two shows that might be fun; the first would of course be a BME show akin to what I did with BMEradio, but I think it might also be good to do an IAM show, just talking to different people here about things they're doing; there are a lot of people with fascinating lives.

Anyway… I do have some gear of course, but I'm out of touch with doing it live other than what I'd need to do broadcast (and I will do Internet of course). I assume I'd run a Shoutcast box or something, but if people want to suggest (a) software for doing the DJing, mixing, etc., and (b) hardware solutions for doing the call-in aspect, please do post your advice in the Whatever forum.
