Pseudopod Update

2006-10-03T16:48:40Z

Back in August I talked about a new horror short story podcast called Pseudopod. The show is now weekly and the last few weeks have been awesome. I recommend the following stories and urge you to subscribe (do not let the word subscribe mislead you, it's totally free).

Pseudopod 4: Returning My Sister's Face

This a great Japanese ghost story.

DAY AGAINST DRM

2006-10-03T16:01:46Z

via Boingboing...

Cory Doctorow:
Today is October 3, the International Day Against DRM -- the first global day where people rise up and say no to anti-copying technology that treats you like a crook. Remember, DRM doesn't stop "piracy" -- the only people who get DRM infections are people who don't pirate their media. You get DRM by buying your movies, music, games and books through authorized channels -- the stuff you download from P2P or buy off of a blanket at a flea-market has already had the DRM cracked off of it. They say that DRM "keeps honest people honest" -- but all it does is keep honest people in chains.

Here's some things to do and read to celebrate No DRM Day:

The Digital TV Liberation Front's Wendy Seltzer is giving a free talk tonight at Los Angeles's USC Annenberg School (main campus) at 7PM.

DefectiveByDesign's list of anti-DRM actions contains over 200 suggestions for activities you can participate in today and all year round to fight DRM.

DRMFree.org is a search-engine for DRM-free music for sale on the Internet, a single index of dozens of sites that sell or give away music without crippleware.

DRM.info is a site aimed at explaining DRM to the uninitiated -- what DRM is, why you should care, and what you can do about it. Tell your friends!

Who Killed TiVoToGo? is a murder-mystery from the Electronic Frontier Foundation that explains how even restricted services that let you get more out of your property are being axed by regulators and the entertainment industry (here's how to fight back).

Kembrew McLeod's guest-edited issue of the journal Cultural Studies contains uproarious scholarly works on the copyfight.

Anti-DRM banners for your site from Militant Geek.

Darkside Podcast Logo request

2006-08-23T14:55:49Z

If any one of my listeners is an artist/graphic designer/ or knows anyone who is so inclined, I am looking for logo art for the podcast. The only real design constraint is that it needs to scale down to a 100x100 pixel image without distortion. Otherwise go crazy. I need a banner image (any size) and icon (100x100). The site colors are going to be black white and red. Thanks in advance.

NEW HORROR STORY PODCAST

2006-08-14T15:49:29Z

A new horror short story podcast is out called Pseudopod. It is biweekly and the sister show to Escape Pod. This weeks show is called Bag Man by Scott Sigler. Here is a teaser:

I swallowed. I didn’t want this to happen. I knew the game. Bag Man
always called the cops and gave them a code. He gave that same code to the
victim. Even after two years of killings, the fucking cranks were still
calling 9-1-1, claiming the Bag Man had called them and that they needed
protection. His codes solved that problem. He was a damn courteous kid.

Thing was, the codes became more of a warning to the cops than a way to
separate out the sick, attention-starved loonies. The cops wanted to confirm
Bag Man’s targets — not so they could stop him, but so they could stay the
hell out of his way.

You can download the story or subscribe to the podcast. If you like it tell a friend. I like this story and think you will too. Pseudopod is edited by Mur Lafferty and Ben Phillips. Give it a listen and head on over there and leave them some feedback on their first episode. More about the podcast here.

Silly Meme... tricks are for kidz

2006-07-12T17:17:25Z

What's your religious philosophy...

You are Agnostic

You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care.
For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine.
You rather focus on what you can control - your own life.
And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you.

What's Your Religious Philosophy?

Not entirely true but this quiz isnt all inclusive... I am more spiritual than religious.

Your Porn Star Name Is...

Stroker John

What's Your Porn Star Name?

Now that's closer to the truth :)

Lavalier mics still not here

2006-07-12T15:03:18Z

<rant>Giant Squid Audio makes these great Lavalier mics for recording interviews / bootlegging concerts / etc... I ordered one from them and they only shipped it yesterday. Ironically on the same day I wrote and complained. If one has a home business and relies on word of mouth for marketing of said product it would behoove one to be a bit more professional than most since every customer counts.</rant>

Podcast news

2006-06-28T15:25:31Z

Tonight I will put out my podcast. Show number 9. Wow, I cant believe I've been doing anything consistently for 9 weeks. Disembodied voices has sent me a really neat song cover which I am going to put to use as an intro of sorts. Rev Acid made me another cool intro which I will also play. I am going to try to do an interview with DJ Apsynth if he is available tonight. Maybe a skype interview. Oh and thanks to 2 very generous donations I have purchased the lavalier mics necessary to do interiews on the fly anywhere. I am also working on a promo which I will be distributing to my podcaster friends for a bit of cross promotion. This means I will be playing promos for other shows at the end. I will be printing out some business cards to hand out at r's and eclipse. Current listnership is from 15-20 unique listeners. Not bad for a local and niche show. I am currently looking for more content created by listeners. If you have a cool idea record it or call the voicemail and send it to me.

I am going to do a new show which will be posted more irregularly with grindcorean. It will go out on the same feed as Darkside. We will basically be riffing and bullshitting about music, pop culture, and whatever... I hope to have others on the show as well (evil_libra?). Still need a title for this one though. Comment with your suggestions.

See you on the Darkside

Darkside donations

2006-06-22T14:37:31Z

I am going to put a donate button on the main podcast page. I am not going to ask for donations in the show. I am just going to put it there in case you want to give back. Proceeds will go to improving the show with new equipment and hosting. You can also give so I can get Disembodied Voices a 16 channel mixer. If you want your donation to go to this awesome endeavor put the words "Disembodied Voices" in the comment block when you donate.
