5:09:49 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

This episode is part of a sub-project within Tape Land called “Video Phase 2022”. I recently began transferring a ton of old video tapes to digital, and have been posting selections to YouTube. Here, I’ll be releasing the audio tracks of these videos, as well as linking you to the YouTube videos, and The Internet Archive.

The Compleat Inramble (2008)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFtp6bV4yRc

Frank Edward Nora had been doing his podcast, The Overnightscape, since 2003. In early 2008, he experimented with a video show called Inramble (subtitled “go on a quick video trip”) which seemed perfect for the rapidly growing online video world. Filming in Midtown Manhattan and elsewhere, the first 26 episodes suffered from poor quality, as he was filming on his Palm Treo 680. He soon got a Flip Video Ultra, which was used for the rest of the series. Lack of interest led Frank to slow down on the project. On 8/8/08, he tried to revive the series, only to find the Flip Video Ultra had stopped working. Taking this as a sign, Frank gave up on Inramble and soon started the next chapter of his audio journey, “The Rampler”. 142 episodes of Inramble were released, plus 11 that were not released at the time. The Compleat Inramble includes all these videos.

Released 1/22/23

30:24 – Since Moses broke the original tables of testimony in a fit of rage, Lord Yahweh teaches him a lesson by forcing him to hew new ones and do part of the engraving himself, instead of having them pre-hewn and professionally engraved by skilled Yahwelian artisans. Dave in Kentucky explains how the lack of vowels in ancient Hebrew writing led to mistranslations, and why the distance to a star system is not the sole determining factor in the amount of time dilation that occurs during lightspeed travel to that system. Did Moses come out of his Yahwelian meetings with a bright, shiny face, or with hornlike implants in his forehead? Dave doesn’t know for sure, but he thinks he can explain either one. Maybe not the headlight beams, though.
