On the plus side, The Departed is averaging a 9.2 on Rotten Tomatoes. Saw it today, and it was fantastic. See it as soon as you can, because it's so damn good. 10 out of 10 and by far the best movie of the year.

Dammit I missed the live show. Why did I have to go out drinking on a Friday night?

I'm no hippie, but yeah a lot of guys do look like that. And you guys were right - I didn't want to involve the cops - I just paid a red light ticket earlier this week so I'm trying to stay off their radar for a while.

It was interesting to hear the email from Mark @ tartanpodacast.

It seems to me that the only reason podshow exists is so it can sell itself in a couple of year's time, like myspace / you-tube, etc... making Adam Curry and the other podshow directors very very wealthy. Maybe this is just me being suspicious, but I don't think, and Mark's Email seem to back this up (plus the contract Keith read out earlier in the year), that podshow give 2 hoots about the actual shows, as long as there's a lot of them and enough downloads occuring so they can bring more investment and advertising money in, and reach the endgoal of being acquired.

If you look at AC's past business adventures you'll see a similar pattern of owing companies then selling them and pocketing a hefty cheque.. ok this is good business, but this time, it seems that they're using a lot of naive people to reach their goal, though their vaigue promises of advertising money.... I wonder how many people have actually been able to quit their day job and concentrate on podcasting thanks to podshow?

Thank god KatG have some brains and didn't get sucked into the podshow 'family'

www.ronbloom.com - the guy describes himself, publicly, as a serial entrepreneur, discussing openly the businesses he has built and sold.

But, hey, let's give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe Podshow is a keeper.

Side note: after I got the 'get this guy off the network' email I immediately went into the Podshow server and deleted all my podcast from it.

While putting my daughter's hair in a ponytail on Saturday I discovered **LICE** on her scalp! I was so upset that I started to dry heave into the toe-let (or toilet for the rest of us). I called the doctor, purchased and administered the treatment, then proceeded to wash, in scalding hot water, every bed linen, hat, hoodie, shirt, etc. in the entire house. I then purchased a high intensity light with attached magnifying glass to assist in the "nit" removal process. I have always been terrified of having this experience and thought my kids were past the age of bringing it home from school but nope...she got it.

Today, after a morning of more disinfecting and laundry, I took the time to download Friday's show. What do I hear but Keet refer to the lice medicine at the pharmacy with utter disgust. Way to make me feel even shittier about the situation, Big Guy. I know it is sooo completely gross but ya gotta do what ya gotta do when it is your kid.

I would have been more comfortable buying a butt plug than that damn medicine.

lice shampoo (cooties), Condoms and PreperationH.

Or a hell of a party
