Going to Oshkosh

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-07-25T20:46:14-06:00

My wife and I are going to the EAA Airventure, Oshkosh this weekend. Oshkosh is a HUGE flyin/airshow - I think the biggest in the world. There will be plenty of photo ops and I'm sure more than a few...

I Live In My Parents' Basement

from_the_basement_0001.mp3 - 9.0MB - 26:14 Just a cast from the basement. Perhaps more notes later. [Update] BTW, no, I don't really live in my parents' basement, that was just a nod to The Weddding Singer. Some notes: 00:00 Non-motive greetings....

Listen to Madge

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-07-20T21:51:37-06:00

If you haven't listened to Madge Weinstein's Yeast Radio, you have to. If your impression of Madge is what you've heard on Adam Curry's Daily Source Code and you weren't impressed, you should check out this episode. Up until recently...

Flying to Hahn's Part 2

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-07-19T00:05:42-06:00

Last Thursday, I went flying again for the first time in several weeks. This was an evening flight from Westosha Flying Club at Westosha Airport (5K6) to Hahn Sky Ranch (2T5) to try to meet up with Drew Domkus and...

In Memory of Uncle Dick

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-07-17T10:52:17-06:00

Today's post is personal. It's about a recent death and funeral in the family. It's not for everyone, I understand. I don't expect anyone to 'enjoy,' but maybe the random listener will find something interesting. I'm not pimping my blog/podcast...

Flying to Alaska

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-07-11T22:12:03-06:00

My latest audio post is a collection of recordings I made on the Alaska Airlines trip to Anchorage a few weeks ago. The recordings were made on the iRiver iFP-899 which was plugged into the aux out on a Sigtronics...

London Calling

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-07-07T16:54:06-06:00

All I can say so far is, London, I grieve and seethe with you. My heart goes out to all of the innocent victims who were injured or killed and all of the families who are suffering. Peace. (Watch...

Fireworks!

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-07-05T11:17:12-06:00

Last night, we got to a good spot to watch our local fireworks display just in time as they were starting. The whole show lasted about 25 minutes, and for a small city, I must say we represented. This grand...

Flying With Drew - Part 2

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-06-30T11:47:10-06:00

I know I'm blowing my wad here with a third audio post in four days, but I've been stashing up this stuff for a while, so now I want to get it out. Today's bit of audio is actually...

Floating Down the iRiver (Um, And Um. . . .)

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-06-28T23:02:08-06:00

This is my second 'cast'. I doubt it is going to have any universal appeal. The main audio is from 6/25/05. On the drive to an R/C airplane show, I chat up the iriver iFP-899 some more, including a near-meltdown...

I Am A Faggot!

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-06-27T21:44:25-06:00

Since getting the iRiver, I've been collecting some audio files to start a podcast of sorts - not that it's going to be a 'show' or anything like that, it's just a collection of Eblo-type things that I talk out...

Enclosure Test

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-06-12T20:55:02-06:00

Although this is mostly a test of Brandon Fuller's MovableType Enclosures plugin, there's also a little substance. This is an MP3 of a 'remix' of a voicemail I sent to The UFN Podcast. It cracks my shit up. Did I...

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-06-12T09:27:29-06:00

I hadn't even gotten around to writing about it yet, and The Micah's Minute Podcast is going off the air. The show was often, but not always, about the controller's side of Air Traffic Control. As a pilot, I loved...

Catching up.

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-06-10T08:20:31-06:00

I suck. Way behind on posting. A few things: Going to Alaska soon. Woot! I need more Compact Flash memory. I met Drew of the Dawn and Drew Show podcast and took him for an airplane ride. We recorded the...

Podroll

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-05-07T19:49:58-06:00

Podcasts I think are the shit: (I should include URLs, but that's what Google's for) Dawn and Drew, of course. Urban Family Night Keith and the Girl IT Conversations Slacker Astronomy Micah's Minute Area 51 Show Good music podcasts: Trance...

Scanners, Recording, and Podcasting, Oh My!

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-02-15T01:12:23-06:00

Just today/yesterday, I started messing around with iPodder(.org) and podcasts. I don't have an iPod, but I do have a disc-based MP3 player in my car, so the plan is to get feeds in iPodder, dump them to CD-RW periodically...

Promo

itunes@ratula.net (Oblivion Ratula) — 2005-01-01T01:01:01-06:00

This is just a placeholder for my Promo since iTunes likes to play the oldest entry in the RSS feed. Don't trust the date. Eblo_Promo_170_sec_w_Obliv.mp3 - 2:50...
