The new site is amazing (and you should look into offering the look/feel to others and make mad cash). I’m sure there are others who
would love to consolidate multiple sites / projects in much the same way.

Here’s to the next 7 years! FEN Rocks!

When Daptin creates his land, it’s really not clear that many realities have crashed. Daptin only really mentions Arctica and Granticaine seems to just assume that Aconck is also gone. While it makes sense that the starting point would probably have been Aconck, I think more detail should be added somewhere. As far as I understand, Aconck isn’t even on the same Earth as Arctica. We can’t read Daptin’s mind unless you let us, but it seems that Granticaine can.

Why would the coffee or cup want to send him to Arctica? I thought the cup was in Daptin’s apartment and was most likely to bring him there. The only explanation I can think of is that, after Aconck crashed, the cup fell back to Daptin’s origin as a secondary destination to try to reunite itself and its coffee in a more stable place.

Another thought I had was how damaging it would be if that void Daptin had created his land in was originally Aconck and now overwritten.

“Let’s keep it as an option,” Daptin said. “But for now, we’ll make due.”

The correct phrase would be “we’ll make do.”

I haven’t noticed very many errors in the text, but that one just sorta jumped out at me.

If you’re still interested in publishing the story as a real book, I suggest reading “Self-Editing for Fiction Writers.” It’s a great book and explains a lot of why Severe Repair doesn’t make sense.

I think it is normal.

Great show, I’m half way through it, listened while cleaning the house. Curious what platform you got the Sonic Racing on. I tried the demo and it does look like a great game, I love the different characters that you can play. lots of variety.

We ought to get together again soon for some serious Zoning.

Reminds me of the early nineties, when I was a geeky teenager listening to reruns
“Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on crackly Long Wave radio from the BBC.

Anyhow that is one of the many video game stories I have.

And, most importantly, it was named after an explorer who went through the area in the 1800’s.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Maybe I need to watch again.

The most important thing, though, is that the positive thinking part is only the first step. You have to use that positive thinking to take action. If you said, “I want to be the world’s greatest tennis player in one year,” then sat on the couch and played video games for a year, it won’t happen. (Well, maybe Wii Tennis might help or something, but still…) But if you had that same mindset, then spent every moment of every day doing what you needed to do to become the world’s greatest tennis player – got a mentor, hit the courts for hours a day, changed your diet, read books on the sport, etc. – your chances will definitely improve. You might not become THE world’s best player in a year, but you’ll be better than most. (Maybe in 2-5 years, though, if you kept at it!)

Conversely, if you did all of those things, but told yourself, “This isn’t going to work, I’m not going to become the world’s greatest tennis player.” – then you have a 100% chance of not becoming the world’s greatest tennis player. That much is certain.

Think about that guy at that radio conference. He told you what to do – you went and talked to Sean Hannity. He dissed you. Why? Well, several reasons, I’m sure, but you also approached it with the mindset you’ve been carrying that celebrities don’t like you. (TMBG, for instance.) That thought probably affects your action, your body language, your choices, the way you carry yourself, etc.

In summary, you need the right mindset, and take the right action, and that’s how you achieve your goals. (The fact that you are a fantastic internet radio performer is a testament to that!)

It’s a famous Norwegian play, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_Gynt it contains a few iconic music pieces you have probably heard at some point (think there are samples on Wikipedia as well if you drill down under the music section).

(IRONY- I love PopSci the “what is new” magazine – but I love looking at old PopSci “what is new” even more!)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I needed to laugh like that! This is why I LOVE YOUR SHOW

Hope you & family had a Merry Christmas

Here is my Norwegian perspective on the Obama peace price thing:

I tend to agree that it was “too early” at the very least (population is fairly evenly split but a ~10-20% majority do seem to support it), yeah I can understand the explanation about him working to reduce nuclear weapon stockpiles and so forth and it’s not entirely undeserved, but I don’t understand the rush, they could have at least given him a few years and see what he actually accomplished first rater than award it for just good intentions. My guess is that it was a “dry year”, and they took the opportunity to jump on the Obama bandwagon “while the iron is hot” as it where to get some publicity and/or give a vote of confidence for his stated policies. To be honest I think it was far worse when they awarded it to Al Gore for his anti-climate change work. I mean regardless of what side you are on the climate change thing it’s the Nobel peace price, not the Nobel environmentalism price…

I’m not too upset about the Afghanistan and Iraq stuff to tell the truth, some people are very adamant that the leader of a nation at war should never be awarded the price period. I think that’s overly black & white thinking though, he did not start those wars and now that they are his mess he have no choice but to act responsibly and try to re-establish some semblance of order before pulling out. Hopefully he can drum up some more international support than Bush managed to help get the situation to a point where all foreign troops can safely leave without it turning into a 5 way civil war the day after.

It also calls this decade “The Two-Thousands”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000%E2%80%932009

why would a puppet of a secret society blatantly use symbolism?
who is it for? what’s the purpose, for other illuminati to say, “oh that’s cool?”
i really don’t get that, or is that supposed to be some sort of catalyst for
mind control?

i’m not trying to step on peoples beliefs, i myself am fascinated by weird stuff people do,
this one just seems to be pointless to me. a little help?

A great resource for learning about what we can do to help fight slavery.

It is surprising to people like you and me, that others would have slaves, but we must realize that slavery has existed in recorded history for over 6000 years, and probably existed during pre-history periods as well.

Also before we are too quick to judge our dead relatives for accepting its existance, we should think about the millions of slaves alive today, that work in sweat shops around the world.

We occasionally think about them, but all too often, we just support their existence with our purchasing habbits.

How is it that we accept the death of millions from starvation? How do we value low prices higher than human life?

There seems to always be horrible people in the world that will do whatever it takes to exploit others, the rest of us, like cattle or sheep, may not like it, but often we don’t know what to do, or how to stop it.

I have read about the usual justifications that were givin in the past to justify slavery such as biblical quotes, comaring them to wild animals, saying that we are saving them from hell, or that we were bringing them knowledge of god, but I can’t believe that most people did not realize in their hearts that it was wrong. I have to hope that at least there was some dissonance in their minds about the worlds reliance on slavery.

Just as it is easy today to blame the “3rd world” people for modern slavery, we must admit some culpability on behalf of the dead americans, as their demand for lower prices was also responsible, so too, were the demands of American and European industrialization. (Its not like the millions of dirt poor southerners were buying all that cheap cotton)

I gotta work on my mic placement – I was holding it way too close. I forgot for a moment how much it picks up!

Could it be true?

Could it be that our host has finally mastered the art of….

“taking a break”?

It think it’s true.

Well done Frank!
