idioPod 97: What's Up is Up

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:54:59 -0600

The FAQ Answered: So What's Up?

I talk about my life in general. My dog bit my face. My plans in the future and back on the fence about what's going to happen. Dreams. My 30th birthday is coming up, my failed attempt to lose a little weight and lots of extra things.

This one is shorter than usual at 12 minutes and 34 seconds and weighs about 5.8 MB.

idioPod 96: An Unintentional Hoax, Folks

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:39:20 -0500

It's an unintentional hoax, folks...

I set up an account for idioPod at Twitter and I'll update that when I update the podcasts after #100. The 'solution' to the radio going crazy thing that was happening. My moving plans have been disrupted. I complain about that for almost the whole podcast.

idioPod 94: Unfinished, Undone

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:56:11 -0500

I'll warn you now that this podcast episode was recorded between 13-19 September 2009 and was supposed to be released on 22 September. Unfortunately, my father passed away before I had a chance to post it so a lot of the information in this podcast may no longer be relevant.

I have not checked this podcast for quality or content and I believe that it is unfinished.

I don't remember what I talked about, but I think it's a podcast about my return to the USA and my then future plans. Listen at your own discretion and I am hoping to be back soon with better episodes.

Thanks for your patience during a very hard time in my life.

As far as I know, this podcast should be 17 minutes 32 seconds (might be a lot of empty space at the end, not sure) and weighs around 8.1 MB.

Check out idiologic.com for the latest information.

idioPod 93: We Have Lift Off

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:23:58 -0500

We have lift off... soon.

I talk about how much I like Australia, the things I'll miss, my dog and a few other things. (Sorry can't remember all of them right now.)

NOTE:
There is also a longer version of this podcast that you can listen to here. It is approximately 32 minutes and contains my previous recordings I made this week plus the new one. It gets a little repetitive because I just edited the two together in entirety.

Please remember that this episode will be the last for 2 weeks beginning 6 September 2009. I will be back the week of the 20th.

If you're looking for more podcasts to listen to while I'm away, please consider listening to these:

idioPod 92: Tipped Off

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:53:31 -0500

Let's go tipping... but only in the USA.

In this podcast, I explain my opinion on tipping at restaurants in Australia and the USA and throw in some podcast news.

Please note that I will not be updating idioPod from 6 until 19 September 2009 due to a potential nasty case of jet lag.

This podcast is 16 minutes 24 seconds and weighs approximately 7.5 MB.

Across the world in 20 days...

In this podcast I chat with you about going to the USA and emphasizing the fears that I have about going back, a possible return to Australia because I love this country, weird dreams, a personal spirtual journey is in my head, my need for dynamic living, my purpose of my podcasts and no summer season for me this year (so tired of winter).

idioPod 90: Disconnect

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:25:36 -0500

Chris is not on the line... he won't be calling you.

In this short podcast, I talk about the downsides of online-only phone numbers, my uneventful weekend full of plans, my new Nintendo DSi, and please let me know if you have questions, concerns, comments or complaints. I end the podcast with a 7 minute song (since this one would have been too short without it).

From 16:35 until 23:35 is a song by Locust Toybox called "Midmorning Tufler" from the free album Inkbrush. You can download the full album for free here.

This podcast is 23 minutes 35 seconds with the outro music and 16 minutes 35 seconds without the outro music and weighs in at 10.8 MB.

idioPod 89: Hard-coded Acquisition

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:43:09 -0500

Is sexual orientation something hard-coded in our brains or is it 'learned'?

In this podcast episode, I go over two articles I found regarding the American Psychological Association declaring that mental health professionals should not tell gay clients they can become straight through therapy or other treatments (link) and also I talk about Brazil's TV ads telling people that peeing in the shower is a great way to conserve water (link). Visit idioPod.com if you haven't already! :)

And yes, the title is an oxymoron.

This one is 19 minutes 7 seconds long and 8.8 MB.

idioPod 88: Fight or Flight

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:15:11 -0500

Fight or Flight...

I bring you podcasting in the car at the airport. I talk about my hair (or lackof), the not-so-lovely nightlife here in Melbourne, idioPod.com is new, podcasting changes and my shopping spree at the USA Foods store.

This podcast episode is 20 minutes 40 seconds long and weighs 9.5 MB.

idioPod 87: Planning to Plan

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:38:51 -0500

Planning ahead is my downfall...

My podcast episode is approximately 21 minutes 45 seconds and it'll eat 10 MB of your space up.

idioPod 86: Family Jewels

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:14:36 -0500

Treasure your family jewels

In this one, I review listener questions and comments, talk about my family, my invisible daughter and ask a series of questions that will boggle your mind (and mine as well!) I found myself talking about my friend Brandi a lot too for some reason though she's not really related to me.

This one's a bit long at 32 minutes 12 seconds and weighs around 14.7 MB.

idioPod 85: The Weekend Grind

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:04:51 -0500

Weekends sometimes ARE interesting... sometimes so am I but not today.

I'm back for my weekly podcast update. I talk about what I'm going to be doing in the next few weeks and months, my weekend and Melbourne Open House (see photos), where is the input I asked for?

This one's about 20 minutes and 5 seconds long with a weight of 9.2 MB.

Also: If you'd like to visit my Skitch.com page, just go here. There is a picture there that shows some of the pixels my iMac is showing on the screen (whenever it wants to).

idioPod 84: Mind Burps

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:02:01 -0500

Too much on my mind... most of it is fat.

I pretty much review the things that are going on in my head and unfortunately, I couldn't go back and listen to it fully to tell you what's going on but I think sometimes if what I'm doing is the right thing to do. I also talk about how good my latte is and how bad I need your feedback.

This one's 24 minutes 48 seconds long and weighs in at 11.4 MB.

idioPod 83: Gold Dust in My Hands

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:13:12 -0500

"'How did it go so fast,' you'll say as we are looking back and then we'll understand we held gold dust in our hands..."

Note: This podcast episode is roughly twice as big due to increased sound quality due to the inclusion of music.

I talk about my plans to return to the USA, racism, the work I'm doing on "Gold Dust" (a video of memories here in Australia) and a few minutes of the song I'm using to make my video.

This podcast contains a few minutes of music by Tori Amos, "Gold Dust" from her "Scarlet's Walk" CD. It's really good. (The song is longer, just buy it from iTunes to listen to the whole thing.)

This one is 20 minutes 35 seconds (including music) and 18.9 MB in size.

idioPod 82: Decision Day

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:57:01 -0500

A life-changing decision in the making...

So, as I said before I would make a decision about what I would do by today. I knew that I would make the decision a lot sooner and I did. Leaving Australia won't be easy but it's the right thing to do.

I also talk about Pride 48, looking for places back in Texas, some of my favorite Mac apps, my learning style, my confusion of why people are attracted to me, and a few other things.

This one is 20 minutes 30 seconds long and 9.4 MB.

idioPod 81: Humble Jumble

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:46:01 -0500

The focus is now, the blur was yesterday...

Mark in Canada asks me questions about what's happening with me with my finances, moving and such. I complain a bit about the religious right in the USA, pros/cons of going back (religious pressure, the location of my parents, not being able to bring my weenie dog, etc.), financial unbalance between partners, my love for Canada, my cookies and a few extras.

And though this is not in my podcast, I feel bad for Michael Jackson. As scary as he looked, he was a huge influence on a lot of artists. You guys have heard enough of that anyway, I'll spare you.

Go to idiologic.com when you can.

This one is 24 minutes 30 seconds. It is also 11.2 MB in size.

idioPod 80: Eccentricity

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:36:26 -0500

Eccentricity is stretching it a bit...

Once I realized what I've said, I pretty much repeated everything in the last podcast episode except a few tidbits about how evil eBay and Skype are, the local cafe(s) where I grew up in Texas, and a bit of my planning process, favorite burgers and my coffee. Of course none of that is in order. :)

I sound like I'm crazy in this but I'm in a good mood from being able to sleep decently lately. Hooray, sleep!

This one is 21 minutes 22 seconds long and 9.8 MB.

idioPod 79: Ramble Rumble

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:12:26 -0500

My rambling can stir up a rumble...

This podcast episode has too much to theme, so I named it "Ramble Rumble". I talk about school, the status of my relationship, coming or going, my love for American mustard, Miracle whip and sliced cheese, my FaceBook is at http://www.facebook.com/theonlyben, and just general life around here in Melbourne. More details about my dreams and such. Religion and Texas. Weekend plans.

Ah yes, and I don't have my local Texas number anymore.

This one's 19 minutes and 40 seconds and weighs in at 9 MB.

idioPod 78: Indecision

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 18:34:29 -0500

Flip a coin and let it decide your fate...

In this podcast, I talk about the fact that my friends are doing great things, moving away and bettering themselves. I also talk about my indecision about what to do, that I have the hots for a certain someone and what affect it has for me going back to Texas. I also talk a bit about techie things like Sims 3 and memory upgrades for my iMac. There is other stuff scattered around in places. Excuse all the pauses and stuff like that. :)

This podcast episode is 22 minutes 56 seconds long and weighs about 10.5 MB. Visit idiologic.com for the latest information on what's going on.

idioPod 77: Mental Cure

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:57:51 -0500

If you need help, be brave and admit it.

One of the things that I'm glad I did was talk to someone professional about the things that are bothering me. In this podcast, I talk about the relief I feel about getting help for the depression and anxiety I was going through and I'll tell you now that I'm absolutely happy that I did it. I also discuss my week since my last podcast episode, Apple's announcements, my love for The Sims 3 and a "habit" I was having issues with before.

Visit idiologic.com for the latest news.

This one is a little less than 23 minutes long and 10.5 MB wide.

idioPod 76: Mental Status

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:43:09 -0500

This podcast episode was proudly done half-naked

Yes... really. I have no idea what that has to do with anything but basically I talk about my mental health and basically what's going on around here. I focus mostly on my health, racism and stuff.

Finally made a dr appt to clear my head, talk about my mental health, my dog and just random junk
Racism in Australia or is it a lack of Victorian police?
Being on the receiving end of racism ("ideal" color is mean to be sarcasm)
Feeling sad for John
Missing Brandi and Kate
Me? Get married? Ever?
My probable medication's sexual side effects... not good
Feeling bad about the things I've said... constantly.
Go to idiologic.com.

idioPod 75: On My Almost Perfect Day

Thu, 28 May 2009 20:21:02 -0500

Let's face it, the perfect day doesn't really exist...

In this podcast I talk through what would be my perfect day. Of course, right before I started recording I realized that a "perfect" day doesn't really exist. My perfect day involves fast food, the outdoors, nude beaches and lots of hot chocolate (and indirectly, a hot Italian guy I used to work with). Listen in. I'm sure there will be more. And yes, I am fine.

This one is 18 minutes 16 seconds and 8.4 MB.

idioPod 74: Dissolution

Sun, 24 May 2009 20:24:31 -0500

When a relationship ends, you can dwell on it or move forward...

There's really no need for a bulleted list of items since in this episode I basically just talk about what's been happening for the past few weeks with my relationship. Things have ended and I'm beginning to plan for the future. I'm giving myself another week to fully decide what course of action I'm going to take but whatever it is, I'm sure it will be for the best.

I'll talk more about this some other time.

Visit idiologic and read the weblog for the full explanation of what has been happening.

idioPod 73: Not-So-Hot Topics

Sun, 17 May 2009 20:19:05 -0500

Some topics just aren't that hot if you know what I mean...

I had originally planned to record a podcast of my feelings but this is the best I could get out. I talk about a lot of things including some aspects of my relationship that could be improved.

Killer back, surge in listeners? If so, thanks!
Money matters: making the minimum payment [is bad], math of money - fun!
Topics from Topix: Someone hates women, obesity, lighting an old man on fire (hard to read as written), Melbourne taxi drivers, killing over slow cooking and what the hell is 'damper'?
Changes to the audio format? Is it a good idea?
How I am feeling at the moment...
My relationship continues its failure
Bodily fluids... nothing too gross
Visit idiologic.com to leave any kind of feedback you want.

This podcast is 26 minutes 16 seconds and weighs a measly 12 MB.

idioPod 72: Hospital Haywire

Tue, 12 May 2009 18:37:21 -0500

How devoted can I possibly be?

After almost 2 weeks, I'm back with another podcast episode. Did you guys miss me? This one was recorded over 2 days. And also, I have a recipe for you but it's not edible. Well, I don't think it is anyway. I end up talking a lot about some feelings about my partner being hospitalized but don't get that emotional over it... because I'm stubborn. :)

My partner was in the hospital for about 5 days
Starting a diet for high blood pressure and high-fiber
Why I don't record these while he's here
My advice to young lovers
More school dramas, loan suicide and my thirst for knowledge goes overboard
Bad dogs outside
Go to Idiologic.com for more

This podcast is 24 minutes 25 seconds long and weighs in at almost 11.2 MB. Enjoy.

idioPod 71: Including the Kitchen Sink

Mon, 04 May 2009 18:34:11 -0500

Some people never know when to be quiet...

I've realized that I talk way too much. I couldn't even begin listing all the things that I talked about, but hey, I did. There isn't much of an overlying theme. I just kind of float around topics hitting one or two every minute or two.

Feeling not-so-nice (aka sick)
How I felt about job interview last Monday (PS: I did get my paper I needed from the interviewer.)
My last weekend plans (PS: It didn't happen.)
At 5:22 you can hear my stomach growling ;)
Giving stuff away, a give-away! Just thinking in progress basically.
Vegemite: The Bane of Americans, nice smelling lotions, anti-fingernail biting stuff and my partner's ugly fingernails, Dominant vs recessive genes, my double-jointed fingers,
My fat, my pants that won't fit.
Go to idiologic.com, yeah?
Want to know more about Australia? Go visit Little Aussie Battler.
Continued love for KFC and a few other fast food places here.

Hello. This is 23 minutes 24 seconds and weighs 10.7 MB.

idioPod 70: Re-Meeting Ben

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:10:35 -0500

This is a good place to start...

Every 25-35 podcast episodes, I do what I call an "re-introduction" to give those people who are just starting to listen a starting place rather than downloading the first or second podcast episode which I know is full of irrelevant information 2 years later.

In this podcast episode, I give you a brief introduction of who I am, where I am, why I am, and a few other extras. It's my hope that this episode will clue you in to what direction my life is going in.

If you're a new listener, welcome! I'm happy to have you onboard! You can always visit idiologic.com to get the latest information on what's going on plus any podcast news.

If you're a loyal listener or have listened to several episodes before, you're free to skip this one if you want to.

This one's short at 8 minutes 16 seconds and a bit small at 3.8 MB.

vidioPod 8: Coming Down

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:54:28 -0500

Coming down from the high place can be harder...

NOTE: This video is part 2 of 2. See part 1 here.

As some of you know, about 2 weeks ago I went to one of the national parks of Australia. Hopefully you've watched the first part of this video and if not, you should. I made a video coming back down showing you a little bit of the surroundings and stuff.

I'm sorry if the quality is bad. Blame the digital camera.

This is a 2 minutes 56 seconds movie and weighs in at 35.8 MB.

This will be the last video for a while. I know I've been going crazy with them lately.

idioPod 69: Oh, Sixty-Nine

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 22:08:42 -0500

When Bingo gets kinky, that's when I stop talking...

This is one of the longest podcasts I've done in a long time. That's because I did it over three days. A lot of it is random but a lot of the guts of this episode deal with my planning. Interesting stuff, but feel free to fast forward to the days you want to listen to.

Day 1

The significance of O-69! BINGO!
Why this episode will be so long
"Re-Meeting Ben" the next episode
My 'pretty' feet ain't so pretty (re: Nick Thomas's #359), neither are my hands
Promote me, please! :)
Giving crap away

Day 2 (starts at 16:10)

Back from my vacation (Have you watched the video?)
A little bit about my vacation, feeling good then coming back and getting put in Bitch-a-thon and not feeling so good
Arguing about everything with my partner and his stupid racist attitude

Day 3 (starts at 35:14)

Going over plans over the re-introduction, visit my websites

vidioPod 7: The Trek Up

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:57:47 -0500

Reaching the top is hard work...

NOTE: This video is part 1 of 2.

As some of you know, over the weekend I went to one of the national parks of Australia. I wasn't really expecting to do much of anything but I did have one goal. To make my partner complete a hike up to the summit of a mountain. I thought we were going to head back not doing it... but I could be right or I could be wrong. What happened?

That's what this video is about.

I'm sorry if the quality is bad. Blame the digital camera.

This is a 4 minute 9 second movie and a big one at 50.5 MB.

idioPod 68: Self-Education

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:38:25 -0500

The best way to understand other people is to educate yourselves!

Again, I sit down and start recording. I talk about so many things that it's not even funny. The list below doesn't even include all of it. I go through my morning, my thoughts and my understanding

General chit-chat: weather, new job, dressing to kill (literally), vacationing
Thanks for the encouragement!
Poor John and his cat and a bit of background on my podcasting
Religion and misunderstandings (after next point), views on homelessness
Perks of being an "international" student with no visa conditions
Light fetishes: noses, legs and dark skinned guys
Meats people eat in Texas (French kissing a cow?)
Bisexuality, high school, and a bunch of other crap
Please: Ask general ice-breaker questions for idioPod 70!

This podcast episode is 24 minutes and weighs about 11 MB!

Please visit idiologic to comment, ask questions or anything like that.

vidioPod 6: A Ghost in My House

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:50:19 -0500

A Horribly Scary and Real Ghost Caught on Tape

One day I was folding clothes and I must have left my webcam on recording. Who knew? I came back and you wouldn't imagine what I saw!

I'm also presenting a full-quality video this time instead of a reduced quality version because I noticed that my last ones were way too small. Sorry about that.

This file is about 19.8 MB big and is about 2 minutes and 34 seconds.

If you'd like to download the smaller version (about 8.2 MB), click here.

idioPod 67: Hooked

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 21:16:31 -0500

I had this dream and in that dream... things happened.

I sat down and decided to record a podcast after listening to Mark's number 66. One day after I recorded the last one (which sometimes happens). A few things have happened since then and I had to get it out. Of course this will be posted when it's due. I have things to talk about and I hope that you want to join me:

Anna Nicole... really?
New phone first impressions: a Nokia 6120 Classic, phones in general
Skipping the appetizers and soda which is a good habit, cheap food and tipping in the USA
Dreaming of ferrets, cats* and my mean cousin
Lack of list of topics: 95% of the time
Partner Charging Rent: Is it right?, is that when things fall apart
idiologic.com and idiopod.com are here, queer and a color of your choice!

Intro music and ending music from the game "World of Goo". Intro: "Hello, MOM" and Outro: Shortened version of "Red Carpet Extend-o-matic" both produced and written by Kyle Gabler.

This one's 25 min 17 sec (about a minute less without the music at the end) long and is about 11.6 MB big.

* - This is where I got the title from.

idioPod 66: My Expectations are Great

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:28:08 -0500

My expectations are high but my ambition is low... now what?

Yet another podcast recorded over two days so a little bit of repetition happens because I don't go back and listen to what I've already done. I don't remember anyway. Oh and the title of this doesn't really have to do with anything about me except the eBook I'm reading.

Review of my decisions regarding my podcasts/websites
My weekend plans for the next 2 weeks
Why I "hate" my neighbor (re: vidioPod 5), my other neighbors *
Trouble in the marriage, dependency on technology(?)
The joys of free eBooks and "Great Expectations"
The World of Goo: my thoughts
iPhone vs a much cheaper alternative... who will win, for now?

idioPod 65: A Sinking Ship

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:31:21 -0500

Money, like my sanity, is in short supply here.

This podcast episode was recorded over two days and was supposed to be about my favorite pieces of technology. At the last minute I decided to change it and talk about the planning of the direction of my websites and podcast. Still has a bit about my favorite technology but mostly about the financial mess I'm deeper into.

Day 1

So many voices in my computer!
My April Fool's joke that was dead on arrival.
Why I'm not planning any new podcast episodes past 70 (for now).
My visa approval, communication problems with the partner (ongoing), being video game crazy, excitement over the new Nintendo DSi, why I like the Opera browser.

Day 2 (starts around 18:55)

Correction of first part of podcast episode. Correction: Possibly not planning past APRIL, not May.
Excited about Tori Amos's video today... err, tomorrow... sometime
Looking into social anxiety

This one's 28 min 22 sec (a lot longer than I wanted it to be) and weighs 13 MB.

vidioPod 5: The Dirty House Tour

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:22:21 -0500

When Should You REALLY Clean Your Place?

...before you make a video and post it online for everybody to see. Did I follow that simple principle? No, I didn't. So I bring you the official, yet short, house tour of my place here in Australia.

It's a very short (and small) video of 2 min 44 seconds and it's about 8.7 MB.

idioPod 64: Depressing the Depression

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 18:42:19 -0500

How do you depress depression? Communication.

I decided to take a moment to cover a serious topic. That's because I know that I suffer from a form of depression. I haven't been clinically diagnosed and I'm afraid to and in this podcast I took a depression quiz, went over the results, the symptoms of depression, suggestions on how to deal with it and finally one of the reasons why I can't seem to move forward. I made some comparisons to idioPod 61 ("Can I Accept Death") so if you haven't listened to that one, you might want to.

Expressing my feelings isn't easy for me to do but I tried to do that in this podcast.

Remember: I am not a doctor and only a doctor can diagnose depression!

This podcast is 28 minutes 40 seconds with a file size of 13.1 MB.

idioPod 63: Relationship-wise, Relationship-stupid

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:34:24 -0500

What qualifies as relationship-wise and relationship-stupid?

Here I am sitting down again with no topic, then later I finally get one. So this is done in two separate days. This podcast episode is mostly about my relationship status with my partner and pitching some relationship advice.

1st Part

Giving up sugar water for the nth time
My dating preferences (asked Scott from Little Aussie Battler, thought I'd answer since I asked him) and being international with my preferences and somehow that turned into what's on my walls and learning from Scott... yeah, you get the drift

2nd Part (starts at about 8:20)

Questions and Answers about Relationships:

What makes a relationship last?
When to interfere in relationships
Improving relationships
Cheating, open relationships and relationship glue

Major visa update

This podcast is 28 minutes 6 seconds and the file size is 13.3 MB.

idioPod 62: All the Noise!

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:38:38 -0500

Why is it that Tuesdays are the hardest days to record on?

There were so many disruptions during recording this podcast which included the lawn people outside my window going crazy with their mowers, my neighbors arguing, my dog barking and the smell of grass (which gives me headaches). So I cut it a bit short. Definitely not one of the best podcast episodes I've done.

In this one, I answer Mark's comment about financial inequality and talk about the weird dream I had last night about trying to stop cult members from marrying young women. That's about it. Then the noises got worse and I had to stop recording. (I had already rerecorded about 100 times before due to the noises which may I add are STILL continuing as I type this.)

This thing is about 19 minutes long and weighs around 8.8 MB.

idioPod 61: Can I Accept Death?

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:37:36 -0500

How do I handle major life events? Not very well, I think.

In this podcast episode, I talk about my reaction to deaths mostly. How am I going to handle death in my family when I have never really lost someone close to me? I am afraid. I also discuss why I am disconnected from reality lately and the frustration of my shaky, unstable muscles.

This is probably one of the more emotional podcast episodes I've done that I was actually going to put as a weblog entry. I'll sound very inconsistent and scatter-brained because I have a lot in my head and it all comes out at one time. :)

This podcast is 23 minutes long and it is around 10.5 MB.

idioPod 60: Phone Interrupted

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:04:51 -0500

Cell phones can be very irritating. Even imaginary ones.

I recorded this podcast episode over two days and the first part is just full of interruptions only to find that my inner child is calling again. And of course, as always, my inner child tries to have phone sex yet throw in some pretty good advice. I was considering editing it out, but as usual, I don't believe in editing podcast episodes so it's there.

I talk about lots of random things like:

A conversation (again) with my inner child who likes phone sex and masturbation (if you don't want to listen to it, start at 8:35)
How I got a black eye from my iPod
Blast from the past: How I used to get my friend to come over
~~MyFace~~, ~~MyBook~~, Facebook junkie time
Moving on up to the east side? Or just moving... (2nd part talked about later)
Website updates: new menu
Need new podcast material (send your comments)
Dogs: Possibly get another one; my feelings about neutering/spaying my dogs

This podcast episode is 26 minutes 58 seconds and weighs around 12.4 MB.

idioPod 59: Dry Dream

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:01:56 -0600

My dreams are weird, period.

Back but my voice still isn't 100%. A lot of this episode deals with my dreams I had last night. This one was a lot longer than I expected and I'm sorry about that. I hope that you're at least partially amused.

I talk about these things:

My dreams and being pissed off when I woke up
Taking unlabelled Chinese medicine
Ants ruined my weekend (and eventually summer) and making them crispy
Australian meteorologists are full of crap
My new shower toy
Lunch on Saturday, tipping in Australia(?)
Return to podcasting so-called schedule
Why do I still stink?!?!
Top 20 Video Game List (in weblog)
Time to get an iPhone, iPod apps I love and hate

Easter Egg: Listen between 26:45 and 26:50 and you'll hear my dog yawn. It sounded just as scary in person... That was what the long silence was there. I was like "WTF" but didn't comment about it.

idioPod 59 is 28 minutes 54 seconds and weighs 13.2 MB.

idioPod 58: Love and Hate of Milo

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 18:03:03 -0600

How can you love and hate something at the same time? Especially food?

In this podcast, I am sick but I am still dedicated damn it.

Very hot on the heels of idioPod 57 is idioPod 58. It's been a while since I've been able to do one a week so I thought I'd treat you guys to a podcast in case you like care and stuff. I also have a few questions that I'll answer.

Ooooh, a topic list? Of what? Well, here it is:

Continued from idioPod 57: I'm officially sick

My dream last night about my partner's step father (who doesn't exist), grabbing private parts

Bushfire arrest and his ugly ex-girlfriend who looks like the "Queen of the Trailer Park" (not much details, just info from the news)

How I hate Milo (the drink) and love Milo cereal

Questions regarding:

- Valentine's Day plans and my opinion
- My relationship's glue or the lack thereof
- Irresponsible parents
- Good first impressions with online dating
- My biggest flaws

Go to idiologic.com and send in your questions, comment and stuff. I'll love you at least 3 times more if you do.

This podcast episode is 21 minutes 56 seconds and weighs around 10 MB.

idioPod 57: A Taste of China

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:33:08 -0600

Sorry about the delay. It's actually a shock that I got this done today. I woke up coughing like a smoker so I sound sick in this. But let me tell you, I'm OK. I made notes so I have a good topic list:

My partner's birthday (and significance), his 'special' gift and being unorganized*
The bushfires here in Victoria (Consider making a donation to Red Cross (Australia) or a local charity to help those in need)
Possibly (75% sure) heading back to school to continue my coursework
Changes in temperature and other idle chit-chat

20 min 57 sec - 9.6 MB

* - I'm American. I can spell with Z's and it's perfectly fine.

idioPod 56: Must Be Quiet

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:54:19 -0600

My first episode while back in Australia. Welcome back to Australia, Ben. One of the best countries in the world with super-awesome people and good food! This episode is done in my "inside a house with a sleeping Chinese mother" voice.

What else do I talk about? Well here you go:

Must be quiet
Back in Australia, love for the country and plans
Where is my partner? You won't believe it.
His birthday is this week. He'll be 31. >:)
Catching up on podcasts: Ongline Podcast and Nick Thomas's Podcast
Weather changes, feeling ill and coughing
Downright hatred to Auckland International, Customs, passport problems
Slashing idioPod.com starting next year and making changes later this year
Weenie dog talk and a sound bite of Andy growling at me... scary.

idioPod 55: Pre-Return Chit-Chat

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 09:28:49 -0600

I feel kind of bad that I didn't really record any podcast episodes with real substance. This one isn't any different. It's kind of a retrospect of my stay here and stuff like that, a reflection on my relationships with people here and in Australia and such. I hope it doesn't bore you.

The Morning

Ending my 2 month vacation this weekend, heading back to Australia
Coming to terms with my relationship and myself, tons of uncertainty
My going-away party
Bloodied and dry nose

Later In the Car
(The sound quality isn't spectacular at certain points.)

Relationship talk and begging for attention
Complaints about my work ethics
Someone didn't get MLK Day off...
Where are all the trees and tree poisoning

One Day Later

Busy week
What awaits me when I return? A nightmare
Planning for losing weight, gaining strength and feeling better
Last podcast in the USA (for now)
So many people to do... yeeeeah
Read the weblog, okay? Don't make me freakin' beg. New website up.
Other Podcasting Buddies: I haven't forgotten about you

This is 25 min 40 sec and about 11.8 MB. Please visit my journal for the latest news.

idioPod 54: Crazy Couch Chaos

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 23:05:51 -0600

Sometimes I decide that it would be a good idea for me to bring my computer and microphone to my best friend's house to record a podcast. And most of the time, I realize that it's not such a good idea. But I had a lot of fun just talking about the most random junk. This podcast features the new couple, Brandi and Adam. There are a LOT of filthy words in this one. So many I had to bold that.

The sound is a bit weird on me... not sure what happened. The scratching noise you keep hearing is me scratching everywhere with a back scratcher. Mostly the top of my head.

We chat about married life for like 10 seconds then talk about:

No "real" topics... again, Animal Crossing
Brandi's birthday, burping and research about semen
Change of party plans, remembering the last going away "party" we had
He-Man and Many Faces (from when I was a kid... here's the link to the video)
Saturday morning cartoons suck now and I don't expect my listeners to listen to a 40 minute podcast anymore
They're trying to get me to stay in Texas ;)
Adam's idea to scare people playing Animal Crossing - genius!
Adam really loves his Freedom of Speech... I mean really
The abrupt ending courtesy of Alex, one of the voices from the Mac OS X

This is 18 min 40 sec and about 8.4 MB. Please visit my journal for the latest news.

idioPod 53: Happy Holly Daze

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 10:06:54 -0600

Yes, I'm still around. Here's idioPod 53 with a very brief summary of my holidays. You'll hear about these things:

Hope you had an awesome Christmas
Presents
Heading back to Australia, Nacho Party Part 2
New Years Goal pre-planning
Eating at Chili's was a nightmare
Future Plan of my next podcast

This is 14 min 14 sec and about 6.5 MB. Please visit my journal for the latest news.

idioPod 52: Lies, Lies and Yes More Lies

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:27:31 -0600

Ok, part 2 of 51 didn't happen. That's what is with the title of this podcast. This one isn't full of lies or anything it's basically just an update of sorts. I just explain a few things that have been happening:

Lack of quality sleep
Snow! Visit idiologic.com/weblog about the details
Brandi's wedding and sicknesses
Happy birthday to Felix
Deciding where to stay and an immigration update
Quality time with the family
Why part 2 of 51 didn't get done and an explanation of the title of this podcast
Ghost stories, ghosts, spirits and Ouija

This is 19 min 38 sec and almost 9 MB.

idioPod 51: Jet Lagged and Crazy

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:43:00 -0600

So I'm back in the USA again and it has taken me a while to get a new podcast episode done. In fact, this probably is the worst one I've done. I'm seriously jet lagged in this and sound drunk, but I didn't drink a drop. I swear to you about that.

I talk about a few things, in no particular order, like:

In jet lag hell
Kinda sorta introducing Adam, Brandi's husband to be
Unhappiness with Animal Crossing for Wii (can I live without it?). It kind of caught my attention a lot while I was recording.
Drunken weekend planned (and also another podcast)
Steers and Queers
Crappy service at a Mexican restaurant we went to
This is part 1. Our drunken podcast is coming early next week. I was going to keep this one out of the public because it doesn't deserve to be posted...

UPDATE (14 April 2009): Needless to say, part 2 never happened.

Basically, this podcast is just to let you know that I'm alive. Nothing exciting really. This one is 11 min 20 sec with a weight of 5.2 MB.

idioPod 50: Worth the Delay

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 19:15:53 -0600

Ah welcome back to idioPod after a two week break.

A few changes have happened after I made the first version of #50 but I redid it on the 22nd of November. I'll warn you that I'm very mentally distracted and sometimes it takes me a while to gather my thoughts and even then, sometimes I completely forget. :) I'm just overly excited. Long story short, I'm heading back home.

NOTE: If you went to my weblog and downloaded the idioPod #50 before Tuesday, 25 Nov, that is the old version. I thought I posted the newer version (this one) but I didn't. Somehow, they got mixed up.

What am I talking about? This is just the beginning:

Change of plans: heading to the USA (by the end of the week) thanks to my partner
Tim-Tams = Mutated Kit-Kats & bringing them home
The movie "Australia" - I'll probably see it in the US
Brandi's Wedding, "Going back in time"
My family needs to stop smoking (and so do my friends!)
The return of Brandi to my podcasts
I try to explain my podcast release "schedule" in the USA
Brandi's sweet relationship
Have not worked much on the new design
Finding a dog sitter isn't easy, well not less than $900/month
Jet lag f***ing sucks
Happy Thanksgiving!
Missing out on summer this year, 3 winters in a row... fun

Feel free to leave a comment, send me an email or whatever from my website. Skype me or something if you want and I'll talk to you again when I am back in my home country. :)

This is 19 min 46 sec and about 9 MB.

idioPod 49: This News Isn't News

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:18:44 -0600

It's like the good old days where my podcasts were excruciatingly long. This long one is a make-up for all the short ones that I've been doing lately. I also had a lot to say and I feel like this is one of my better podcast episodes I've done by myself.

I have a few main points in this podcast:

Idiologic/idioPod News

Progress or lack thereof of redesign, still pushing to be done when #50 comes.
End of the year slowdown and why
Downscaling idioPod for next year, no immediate plans to quit
Taking a break 8-23 November 2008 (please stay subscribed!)
The importance of feedback
New mobile version of idiologic soon

World News

Being a proud American again
Iffy on the future with Barack Obama as President (but still happy)
Still sad for Hillary
Anger of outcome of Proposition 8 in California

My Vacation

Went to Gold Coast for 5 days
Theme parks, water parks and hot dads
Water park hell
Shirtless hairy Ben... did it happen?
New photos at idiologic.com/gallery.

Upcoming Events

I'm turning 29 soon
Cost cutting and selling things
Please use my local Texas number
A call for hosting cost donations (if you want to, not required)
Have questions? Ask them using my regular email form. Make up a name/email if you want.

Questions Answered

I am handed two envelopes: a red one and a blue one. Regardless of what might be inside, which one would I pick?
First Aid: How do you control bleeding? (Not gross but can save a life)
What do I want to know more about?

That's it! Told you, it's packed with goodness. But all this goodness comes at a price. This thing is 47 minutes 15 seconds long and is 21.6 MB. Almost twice the size as one of my usual podcasts!

idioPod 48: Mini-Tracked

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 22:01:51 -0500

This one is shorter than the others. That's because I'm on a deadline! And I can't even put much here because I have a ton of stuff to do.

I talk about:

Happy Halloween & Happy Election Day USA
Gone for a week
Break from podcasting coming in November for 2-4 weeks
Missing my grandmother
Sound clips from "Zombie Killer" by Leslie Hall and Waaaaaaaaall-E

There is more or less, I am not really sure. And that's not in chronological order either. I don't have time to listen to it again.

RUUUSHED! Like really mini-tracked. Really. I think this is 4.5 MB and about 9 min 47 sec. Created and edited in less than 12 minutes.

idioPod Announcement: Fellow Americans... Go VOTE!

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 03:51:42 -0500

I know I'm a bit early and could have waited to tell you this, but I'm well-known for waiting until the last minute. Plus, I'll be on or coming back from my vacation while you guys are heading to the polls. And yes, I have voted already.

My main point: Yes, the polls right now are in Obama's favor, but the polls don't mean a thing if people don't go out and cast their vote in early voting or on Election Day. So please make that your priority on November 4th.

And additionally, if you're in California. Vote NO on Proposition 8!

What is Prop 8?

Every American (well, mostly) has a privilege to shape our great nation. Please do your part!

(Because I swear, if America makes another stupid decision... I'm losing faith in you forever.)

I can't wait until the whole mess is over so the news won't suck as bad.

If you care, this podcast announcement is less than 1 MB in size and not even 2 minutes.

NOTE: I have not created a place to comment. If you have something to say, just click "Contact Me" at the top of the main page of my website.

idioPod 47: No Time for Time

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:34:43 -0500

For #47, I tackle the concept of time (at least half-assed). There just isn't enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do in a day. What would happen if I could somehow alter time to fit my own desires? Yeah, interesting, eh?

Continuing the theme of time in this podcast, I talk about:

An unintentional plug for Nick
Mild unhappiness with the new design of idiologic
Question: What would I do with an extra hour of time every day?
Question: What would I do with only one month to live?
Question: What are three things I'd do differently if I could go back in time?
Question: If I could live in one season for the rest of my life, which would it be?
Question: What time of the day is my absolute favorite? (You'll be shocked)
Read the weblog!

Background Sounds: A loop from Lisa Lopes's 'Breathe' from Supernova. (And forest noises too because the loop can get pretty irritating after 15 minutes.)

idioPod 46: Computer Crackdown

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:13:35 -0500

This podcast is a podcast about dreams, hopes and the future. OK, possibly not but it talks about some of the things that have been irritating me lately like my long hours in front of the computer, being lazy and other issues. You know my podcast does have some issues, yeah?

Well, because you care at least minimally, I talk about this:

Being lazy, being computer-crazy and fixing that little problem
Bits and pieces of the weekend
My dogs at Dogster: Andy and Felix
Still on for Brisbane, my holiday plans... just in early-2009, fears of full-time work
Nick commented about my diet... what diet? LOL
Money woes: Paying US bills with Australian dollars (which is weak now)
My bearish appearance and my horrible dietary habits, sugar galore (got me some A&W Root Beer- which IS a big thing!)
My style is so cramped... (my bedroom's style)
Thanks for the comments, well wishes, emails and stuff like that. My podcast download statistics are pretty unbelievable.
Mmmm, my orange chicken rocks. American Chinese food is good stuff.
Have something to say? Let me know!

This podcast isn't hairy, but it does weigh about 10.9 MB and it's 23 minutes and 48 seconds long. It also enjoys the simple pleasures of fine dining, eating cheese with wine and watching Operas.

Skype: idiologic

idioPod 45: A Sorta Mellowed Out Mood

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:52:46 -0500

I'm kinda in a sort of mellowed out mood over a crappy start to the weekend. I will admit that it got a bit better and it turned out to be alright. In this podcast, I kind of just talk about my weekend, really. I tried not to jump around so much but well, but yeah I did at some points.

I talk about all of that stuff then some more:

Seriously aggravated over the "Nag-a-Thon" over the weekend
The rest of my weekend really didn't suck that much
Will I be moving, again? Possibly to a beach! (or mountains)
My own personal finance crisis needs resolved
I think my best friend in Texas, Brandi, is super-mega pissed at me
Re-evaluating the specialness of my relationship
Mental health talk (mine)
New Year's Resolutions... again, revisited
VP Debate: I saw it... Palin's hot, but dumb as a sack of door knobs & gay marriage in the USA and Australia
Only 1 podcast a week for a while and contemplating a one-month break soon from podcasting

Don't forget to visit idiologic.com/journal for the most up-to-date information! :)

idioPod 44: Odd Ends

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:54:30 -0500

Again, no direction where this thing was going when I started. So it's all over the place. But I hope that it makes you a happy person when you listen to it.

Here's what I cover:

Did you see the new look of idiologic?
A few updates on stuff I talked about on previous podcasts
"Big Wheel" (by Tori Amos) video preview on my weblog
Why I drink my coffee with a spoon in it all the time
My grilling stupidity, I am an idiot
Finding my first love and the reply
My dream that took place in the shower
Don't forget to read the weblog, yeah?

This 'un's 21 minutes and 45 seconds long and a few bytes shy of 10 MB.

And of course, do you have something to say to my face? Then click this lovely Skype button:

idioPod 43: Racism is Stupid

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 05:34:19 -0500

Wow, I realized that I jumped a lot around with the topics that I picked to talk about so hang in there. I tried to be a bit more organized but oh well.

I talk mostly about my relationship, career and weekend. The main point, though, is that racism sucks and racists need to get over themselves... now.

A few relationship and career happenings and implementing changes,
Fri night movie: Wall-E, Australia vs US release dates and Hellboy 2
Instead of going home, I'll head to Brisbane/Gold Coast in Oct/Nov (tickets booked)
My friend's birthday was on Fri.
A racist jerk in the subway/train station tunnel at Flinder's Street Station (tirade warning) and my personal suggestion for everybody
Going out to eat & drinking too much... again.
Admitting that I am wrong to say some things sometimes
idiologic.com/journal is your friend

Exactly 24 minutes of happy, gorgeous, pretty fun. This thing weighs about 11 MB. Oh yeah, and Skype if you wanna:

idioPod 42: Help Those In Need

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:14:49 -0500

The first version of this podcast episode was thrown in the garbage for being too depressing so I made another one. A lot of what's been on my mind is Hurricane Ike that completely destroyed life for many people in the area where I lived before I moved to Australia. If you don't listen to this podcast for one reason or another, please help someone out who needs your help, even if it's moving furniture or bringing a cake to a neighbor. Just do something nice, okay? :)

In this podcast episode I speak about the importance of helping people out but I also chat to you about these things:

Hurricane effects and helping those in need (please donate to American Red Cross)
Finally, my bandwidth upgrade is here
Job interview today... I hope I get it
Rocky Horror Show in Melbourne. I want to go but...
Progress on "Gold Dust" video plan
My rough draft plans for unreleased podcasts, music and videos
My feelings about PETA and being "morally forced" to vegetarianism
Read up on the weblog. I have been posting like crazy.

This episode is longer than most have been since #12 at 34 minutes and 35 seconds. It weighs in at about 15.8 MB.

Skype... just another option to contact me:

idioPod 41: Vegging Out

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:54:08 -0500

Sometimes eating food with no meat can be really good. I definitely could cut out all meat if I possibly could but, I like breasts way too much. Chicken breasts. In this episode, I pretty much talk about my weekend.

Note: This is an edited version. I took out about 5 minutes of it because I said stuff that wasn't appropriate but will resurrect it in a later podcast episode. Basically, I said stuff without getting the full story and really shouldn't have. I don't want to make any enemies. Willingly.

Enjoying the quietness (in a way) and the details on my weekend
My crappy start to Sunday and the partner's impatience, no apologies
Ramadan makes me hungry when the sun's up.
Soul Mama is good. Really good. So good that I lost my wallet there.
Can I financially and/or legally go back home for the holidays? I don't know.
Need to find a babysitter for my dog...
Change the polls: Slap/beat/maul/kick a Republican today!
My sexual "habits"
Read up on the weblog.

This episode is 21 minutes and 53 seconds. It weighs 10 MB.

idioPod 40: A Little Chat

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:12:58 -0500

I woke up and realized that I should have done this earlier. I have a few things to do today (today being the 3rd of September) so I was in a bit of a hurry. I still managed to do about 18 minutes worth. Very phlegmy. Very raw.

In #40, I talk about things. Somewhat interesting things. And what are those things, you ask? They're here:

still in Melbourne, closer to permanent residence, immigration visit for today
A summary about my visa process & my passport... very short
Hurricane missed my family, more on the way
My passion about what I will do (career-wise, perverts) and why, a clarification of working in rehabilitation
Considered stopping at 40 and why I'm still doing these things
Australia Coke vs Australia Pepsi, Pepsi Max vs Pepsi Zero(?) (I think that may be Coke...)
Adapting to Australian life better
How to make my ultra-good Hot Wings
A better bandwidth plan for the Internet
Keep the webcam? Tell me. Read the journal, yeah?

This one is 18 minutes long and weighs 8.2 MB.

idioPod 39: Hurting

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:46:08 -0500

Have you read my weblog about my Sunday? If you haven't, you can go here to read up. I did this podcast episode while my legs were in pain and I just wasn't feeling very well. I still don't.

I did want to say that this is the only podcast episode this week (and it's a short one) because I have to get my visa application in on Thursday... Friday at the very latest. After Saturday, I am in big trouble. But I'm going to stop that from happening.

I don't really speak of much in this one but here's my usual list of crap I talk about:

Systems are critical: Need to hurry & get things together which means no new podcast on Friday (Thursday for you in the USA). Use that time to catch up with other people's podcasts.
Pain, pain, pain. A bit of a summary for those who are too lazy to read the weblog entry (but it does have pictures)
Odds and Ends: Procrastination, early bedtimes, lots more.
My opinion of Barack Obama's VP choice... ... ... but oh well.
As always, check my weblog for stuff I don't put here.

This podcast is about 15 minutes 10 seconds and weighs in at about 7 MB. I'll be back in September with #40. From somewhere.

idioPod 38: Go Aussie Go

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:39:02 -0500

Hot on the heels of idioPod 37 comes 38. As promised, this podcast is about 1/2 if not more about Australia.

Part 1: Australia Facts and Figures

Australia-shaped meat... mmm, mmm, mmm.
Facts and figures about Australia and the state of Victoria
More about my love of Australian money
A few facts about Melbourne (temperatures, food and animals... not necessarily all related)

Part 2: Miscellaneous Junk (not really related to Australia)

My early morning plans with my nice neighbor & "stat decs"
November-December plans: Podcasting overseas & complaints about my Macbook
What exactly is on my external hard drive? :)
Simutran: An open-source SimCity-like game, a transportation simulator (one of my cities is called Morningwood) (an unintentional review, requires X11 on Mac OS X... WHEW!)
Requests for questions and stuff, killing the webcam soon (& stuff), read my weblog

I measured it. My podcast is 27 minutes and 14 seconds long and weighs 12.6 MB.

idioPod 37: Conversation Hearts

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:50:10 -0500

Most of this podcast episode is about something I did to someone when I was in junior high school (grade 8) that puts me in the nominations for "Biggest Asshole". But I still think about it and I laugh because I'm a bastard like that. But being mean doesn't make a person any better... it just creates some opportunities for laughs.

This podcast episode is 22 minutes and 40 seconds long and weighs in at around 10.4 MB. That means I'm going to win the bass fishing championship... what? Oh, okay, maybe not.

To amuse the masses, I present to you the following conversation bits:

My trouble in jr. high with conversation hearts and this girl I knew
My high school days, guys I liked & my "first" boyfriend... I use that term lightly
My doctor visit... Quack, quack!, Getting it all together
Thanks for the voicemail, Scott. (I've included it here because we Americans totally heart Australian accents.)
More Australian stuff coming...

idioPod 36: Let's Be Friends

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 06:59:20 -0500

About one day after I did #35, I made #36. One of the worst things your partner can say is the "Let's Be Friends" speech which I did get. I seriously don't think there's any meaning behind it. But of course I have a non-caring attitude towards it. Since I made this though, it seems like he forgot he said it.

Also, I talk about these things:

Ongoing visa issues and a few travel plan changes (by the way, did you read my last weblog entry?)
The "Let's Be Friends" speech (which I will go into more detail in another podcast)
How ugly Clay Aiken is (and also the guy from the naked lady show, whatever it's called... Carson Kressley. I think he would make a really good gay Joker.)
My hatred of Apple-made mice
Leaving messages on Skype and my local US number

Answering questions such as:
- When did I realize I was gay?
- Do I hate myself sometimes?
- Do I regret I was born?
- If I had to choose between telling the truth and hurting a friend OR lying and making them happy, what would I do?

29 min and weighs in at 13.3 MB. Quite longer and bigger than I want. (Oooooh yes)

Leave me a comment if you want or hell, Skype me. I think dirty thoughts when you do.

idioPod 35: The Re-Introduction

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:49:43 -0500

For those who want a better introduction on who I am, why I'm in Australia, a few details on my relationship, why I do podcasts (or don't, really), my new podcast posting days, my likes, my dislikes and stuff, you can listen to that. There's no need to put down exactly what I talk about because it's just basic profile-like kind of things.

If you're a regular listener, you probably can skip this one and wait for the next one. You know, unless you really want to listen to this. This weighs in at 15 min 25 sec and 7.1 MB.

idioPod 34: M&Ms = Distractions

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:18:57 -0500

"This podcast is brought to you by the F-word and by the number 10 because that's how many fingers I have." Yes, I actually said that. Nothing special here but I like it. There is some psychology going on around this podcast... you should listen to it.

M&Ms... eating them while I do most of this podcast
Brandi's wedding plans for me, and if I skip going home...
Melbourne weather & inescapable drought
Thanks for new listeners! :)
Experiments with M&Ms in primary/elementary school & a miracle grab (that burp sounded disgusting that I did)
Immigration woes continue and continue, where will I be in a month from now?
Moving plans (if I get to stay) and the house we looked it
Working Holiday visas are available to Americans now, surprise!
No one wants to hire me right now, maybe later
Very behind listening to other podcasters' podcasts
Can't stomach that I might have to leave...
How many times has Been said "Ummmm"? or other "favorite sayings"
Plans for #35: A Reintroduction... (the Why? Who? What? When? and How?)
Mentions of my picture gallery, a new video is coming and words of advice

I had to edit a little bit where I said the weather was shit. So the timing is a bit off. I said something which I considered inappropriate and border-line offensive. (I absolutely, 100% did not say it in the first place to be offensive.) I don't want to offend anybody. :)

As people can see, I am having a really hard time dealing with possibly leaving. I guess that's a bit of a psychological thing after listening to this podcast after I've done it. You can see what is bothering me by the number of times I mention it. You can apply that to almost any podcast you listen to.

idioPod 33: Meat Pie

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:22:28 -0500

You thought the other episodes were random? Well, check this one out. I've actually had people ask me when I was going to do another one of these things... people who I have never heard from before so I thought I'd do one. I spend a lot of time talking about... you guessed it, food.

But of course, there are some other things I talk about too like:

Australian meat pies, which I totally love [scattered without]
Walks through the meat section at the grocery store causes me to want to be vegetarian
My special feelings towards different foods that are shaped like animals
US foods that I'm starving for, "real" Mexican food
My feelings on Vegemite
Bad US Dollar, BAD! (and food costs)
Updates from the Weblog: Arguments, Visa Problems, Extras 2 & 3, Going back to school, sharing the weblog with my partner, my bad dog

This is 19 minutes of meaty, un-vegan fun!

It excites me when you contact me through Skype...

idioPod 32: Subliminal

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:37:17 -0500

Welcome, again, to an episode of idioPod!

And, again, I have to push forward the Extras due to some technical difficulties on the quiz site I'm using. Oh and I definitely have my throat clearing thing going on during the whole thing.

What's been going on? Well in this episode I will tell you in as much detail as it takes to barely get by. I do speak to you about:

Extras 2 & 3 have been postponed due to HelloQuizzy's technical flaws.
Incessant Bitching, complaining and flowcharts
Weekend plans busted: damn rain
Visa woes are getting to me (cost vs. sensibility)
Being depressed since last podcast post (I'm OK when I'm full of Mexican food, restaurant talk)
Body image problems = the reason why I don't go to bars/clubs, motivation & weight gain
Ditching unneeded expenses (aka online subscriptions), rice queens and my preferences
WoW, Stupidity (of course I said something stupid during that.)
More [better] information on the Extras, subliminal messages?
Visit my weblog. Subscribe here.

This is almost 22 minutes and 40 seconds (less 2 seconds) of mind-boggling, subliminal fun!

I love it when you leave me messages on Skype...

The music loop is from "Take Our Time" by TLC.

idioPod 31: Mmmm... MMF

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:09:37 -0500

I think this one can be best classified as a podcast with a vast amount of confusion. A lot of the things I say are just hypothetical and I tend to think a lot outside what I know is going to happen but hey, I said it in a microphone so let's share, shall we?

Oh and for those who don't know, MMF stands for "Male-Male-Female".

Oh, this is what I was talking about, hopefully in this order:

Release dates are all screwed up [Click here for updates]
Extras 2 & 3 moved to next week. [For these reasons]
Going back to my high school years: MySpace
Have kids + get married (to a woman) = Happy Life?
Resurfacing bisexuality
MMF threesomes are hot
How to date women? I must have miss that in the Life manual.
One of my favorite dating sites: OKCupid.com (and HelloQuizzy.com)
Twitter updates: They are significant!
More badmouthing my neighbors on the other side of my paperthin walls
30 seconds of iPod Touch frustrations (Poor Nick's weblog)
Time is running out for me to stay in Australia, legally
*E3: Animal Crossing on Wii? MySims on PC -> Mac? Please? Mortal Kombat, etc)
Having a "Wii" isn't so bad (tee hee giggle giggle)

That's like 19 minutes (and 2 seconds) of face-slapping fun right there!

Visit my website(s) at idiologic.com or idiopod.com. Send me feedback. I love it.

I love it when you Skype me...

idioPod 30: Triple Dippers Triple Suck

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:14:38 -0500

Curious about the title of this? It's part of my podcast. Just listen for it.

This podcast episode had like 400 disruptions so there are a lot of audible cuts and splices in here. Definitely not how I wanted to go out on the #30 milestone. I honestly didn't think I'd ever get to #30. And to think I've been at this since early 2006 (with a 8 month break thrown in there).

Anyway... In this episode I pretty much talk about what's going on with my life and how I need to "clean up" some things. But that's not all, if you listen now, you'll also get useless trivial things such as:

Lack of timeliness
Cleaning up my relationship with a "housecleaning" warning because of the dreaded "Do you still love me" question
Another absence on top of the other ones that I've put up with this year
Should be content with what I have / 3 things that I like about my partner - is it really that hard?
Unhappy with Pizza Hut that night (this is where the title of the podcast is from)
Planning for the next few months (and I drop the f-bomb a few times for fun)
Finding things in my arm
Bitching about Brandi and Skype
There's a new car in our car space, but where are the keys?!
Nursing course results
Most likely more thrown in there since I sorta skimmed through this one.

I also forgot to mention that this was done a bit after I made the vidioPod 4 video so it's a bit outdated but as far as I know, everything still applies.

NOTE: There were two very similar versions of this made. I am thinking this is the one I was supposed to post. (One had been edited quite a bit.)

vidiopod 4: A Random Day at the Beach

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 22:51:54 -0500

Ah, I almost forgot to post this today so here you are.

There's not much to explain except that this is probably the best video I've released as a vidioPod. I'm sure I could have just given you a video in a dark room while playing the quiet game and it would have been better than my other ones! (Or better than a close-up of a jar of mayonnaise for 15 minutes...)

So, anyway, here's the story. One Saturday my partner and I headed to the beach quite randomly. I love going to the beaches here. You'll hear some seriously stupid things like:

"I have no idea where I am, but anyway... this is where I am."

I was actually at a beach near Sandringham. For some reason, my partner is camera shy when it's convenient for him. Otherwise, I have a camera in my face constantly. Especially on vacations but I'll admit that I like to see him smile and I love to make him laugh. BUT anyway, this is just a quick two minute tour of one of the local beaches I live around. :)

Enjoy, if it's possible.

idioPod 29: Improv Improvement

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:19:49 -0500

Probably not the most exciting podcast I've ever done but unfortunately I had to hurry and get it out because it had a lot to do with "last weekend" which was July 4, 5 and 6 (Friday - Sunday). I actually thought about throwing this one in the bin or just releasing it as another "Extra". BUT regardless, I did talk about:

My weekend (for some reason Sunday to Friday)
A reflection on my last podcast, #28 (death penalty)
I shopped at the expensive US Food store
Saturday I went video crazy, vidioPod #4 will be the best I've done
Friday, we signed the relationship register... we both had our doubts (we've gotten along since then though, miraculously)
Podcast Improvement & general podcast stuff
New idioPod MySpace is here.
My dog really likes underwear.
Bitching about Brandi :) (and that was a real burp that came out at a bad time)
iPhone bitching: Not available with my cellphone carrier
Visit the weblog, send me feedback, Skype me (idiologic) or something else

The music is "The Highlands" from "Etienne Trilogy" by Y Kan't Tori Read (Tori Amos).

vidiopod 3: My Weenie

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:29:55 -0500

I came to the conclusion that when you have a big weenie, everybody wants to see it. So, here's a video of my weenie... dog who has a favorite chew toy that happens to be my underwear. He also totally hearts socks.

For those who don't know, this is the little guy who interrupts my podcasts sometimes. His name is Felix and he's tres-adorable. :)

Enjoy. More videos soon.

idioPod 28: Q's and A's

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:53:39 -0500

idioPod 27: Stories of a Lifetime

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:55:17 -0500

Welcome to idioPod 27! This podcast has a few of my life stories in it but don't expect great detail because I'm not a person who does things with an importance to detail.

In this podcast episode, I talk about myself in great detail. Yeah, I know, how conceited! I don't talk too much about other junk except these things:

The sex-starved jellyfish
My first "relationship" (the gain and loss of love)
Need vs Want: A Guide to Curbing Spending in 2 minutes
Relationships made for convenience, what I look for in friendships
Short reflection of my new year's resolutions for this year
Finished with my course and my marks (scattered around)
Question: Would I date a drag queen?
My Twitter: idiologic
My Weblog: idiologic weblog
There is no doubt a little, tiny bit more but I forgot what it is

Music: "Hexagon" by Aphex Twin

Vidiopod 2: To the Dump We Go

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:15:16 -0500

Just a one minute video of the lovely features I live around. Nothing exciting. I'll make some exciting videos one day.

idioPod 26: Opening a Can of Worms

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 07:11:51 -0500

Ben takes a serious look at a serious issue.

I'm actually in a decent mood which is why I did this. I feel more light-hearted which makes me come off as not being serious. I don't really cover much but I do talk about these things:

Finishing the course
Open relationships and does it work for me?
My neighbor, the mailsnatching bitch
Telephone Pet Peeves
Random rambling as usual :) with hidden messages

I forgot the story about the jellyfish. I'll remember that for next time.

You can always go to the idiologic weblog for the latest and greatest news and updates.

idioPod Extra 1: Still Here, No Fear

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:52:43 -0500

This podcast episode was scrapped and I was going to start over but decided against it and to post it as an "extra". I was actually in a really good mood until I listened to the old podcasts and realized how much I miss my best friend. Given how things are going for me here, it's hard for me to stay upbeat. It's really something I should change. I'll work on the new episode either today or tomorrow.

Ben talks to you about the following stuff:

Listening to old podcasts: idioPod 3, 7 & 9 part 2 & reflections

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:48:48 -0600

Sad but true. I have a few guests in the house today, one being the voice inside my head and the other, well, being another voice in my head. In this podcast, I have a bit of a battle with myself. My self-esteem sucks and this is just a preview of what I deal with everyday (minus the voices people, I'm not crazy) It DOES have some meaning to it. Maybe I'll get it sorted out before the next one. Idiologic.com is the place to go for the latest and greatest.

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 08:32:31 -0600

IdioPod 9 Part 2: I'm Really Sick

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 12:40:23 -0500

Some people were wondering what the real reason is that I am delaying #10... well this is it. Living proof of why I can't do a podcast lately. Not many people get to hear me like this but... don't you wish you didn't too? Go to idiologic.com to read more important stuff.

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 13:13:48 -0600

IdioPod 5: This is Random

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 14:03:54 -0600

It's been a while since I've done a 'real' podcast. Brandi and I talk about asian food, farting and other random stuff. This podcast pretty much has no point to it. Listen to it at your own risk.

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 13:33:52 -0600

Vidiopod 1

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 12:33:02 -0600
