Episode Twenty Four: Plum Pudding Sunrise

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:38:00 -0400

We had our good friend Josh Hopkins on the show this week. This episode is released in two parts. Part one is the main podcast that will show up on the feed that’s just like a normal interview episode; part two is downloadable from here and consists almost entirely of Josh filling us in on how his daughter Lucy Kate is doing after her open-heart surgery last month.

Episode Twenty Two: The Saddest Kazoo

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:36:00 -0400

We have REALLY been slacking off on the episodes lately. Maybe we should just call this the end of Season One of the podcast and start Season Two after the summer when all our shit settles down. At any rate, hope you like this new episode, which is just me and Erica again.

T-Shirts Are Sold Out!

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:42:57 -0400

I just sold the last of the fifty Robot Vs. Octopus tshirts we had printed a couple of months ago. Thanks to everyone who bought one! Complete success.

Depending on interest, we might print another one in a few months or so, but if we do it will be a different design. (It probably won’t have a ferret on it, though, if you were hoping for one. Sorry!)

Get Weird Al To Direct Message Erica For Her Birthday

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:07:00 -0400

For Erica’s birthday, which is August 5th, we are running a contest. We mentioned it near the end of Episode 21.

It is no secret that Erica loves “Weird Al” Yankovic. Her love for Mr. Yankovic exceeds perhaps even that of oxygen, or the breathing of oxygen, or the magic process inside our bodies that turns oxygen into blood or however it works.

The contest rules are as follows:

Get “Weird Al” Yankovic (@alyankovic) to “Direct Message” Erica’s Twitter account (@redrabbit) by the end of the day on her birthday, which is August 5th.
Direct Messages are explained here if you’re out of the loop on this whole Twitter business.
It doesn’t have to say “Happy Birthday.”
To be the official winner the direct message must contain proof that you were the responsible party. Erica (and to some extent Mr. Yankovic) will have final say as to whom is the winner.
We (and this contest) are not affiliated in any way with Mr. Yankovic. He doesn’t know who we are.
Don’t be an asshole to Weird Al, please. Sending him a bunch of @replies and harassing him to do this might get you disqualified. Disqualification is an arbitrary event based on whether Erica thinks you’re being a jerk. Don’t be a jerk.

If you win, Erica will send you her prized “Weird Al” Yankovic-signed kazoo. Good luck!

If you are “Weird Al” and you found out about this somehow and you want more information about Erica, you can email me (Ben Compton) at bcompton on gmail.com. Thanks.

(If there is no winner by midnight, August 6th, Erica will perform and record a sad minuet on her kazoo for the podcast.)

"Rund um favrd hat sich in der englischsprachigen Welt eine lose Gruppe gebildet, die durch nichts..."

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:40:00 -0400

“Rund um favrd hat sich in der englischsprachigen Welt eine lose Gruppe gebildet, die durch nichts verbunden ist, als ihrem Humor. Rund um die besten Tweets entsteht aktuell ein Buch. Der vor allem aus der Produktivitätsszene bekannte Merlin Mann hat mit zwei Bekannten, die er über Twitter kennenlernte mit You look nice today einen der amüsantesten Podcasts gegründet (Ein anderer hörenswerter Podcast aus dem Favrd-Dunstkreis ist Arrive Having Eaten ).”

- A German post discussing the various Twitter favorite aggregators (Favotter, Favrd, Favstars, etc etc) mentioning us as part of the “Favrd Kosmos” (later referred to as the Favrd-Dunstkreis). You’ll notice that also mentioned is Produktivitätsszene Merlin Mann and the gold-standard YLNT. Pretty cool.
