Pure Idiom Podcast http://www.pureidiom.com/ Dont mess with the Space Time Continuum 2006-01-15T23:28:19-08:00 Update http://www.pureidiom.com/archives/2006/01/update.html We're still here, just working on behind the scenes projects, with ideas for expanding the podcast. We'll be in touch. Meanwhile, if you subscribe to the Pure Idiom podcast on iTunes, any new shows will download automatically once they're available.

Hope you're all having a great 2006!

The podcast is still available on iTunes, however, and hopefully this search issue will be resolved soon.

Nathan, Scott and Tinkerbell are summoned to Vegas by the VRWC to stop blogger Laurence Simon from carrying out his plan to assassinate the top ten Pajamas Media bloggers and win big at the 2005 Vegas Celebrity Dead Pool competition. But not everything is what it seems, as Tinkerbell is used as bait to set an adorably fluffy trap and our Secret Agents are caught in the crossfire.

The latest adventure will find our trio in Vegas as they attempt to circumvent an assassination. We're also hoping to squeeze in a guest podcaster from the vast Zionist conspiracy.

See you soon!

UPDATE:
Guest podcaster Tom Paine of Shire Network News and Silent Running fame will be joining us for our Holiday podcast.

I think it might even fit in a stocking, if it's loaded onto an iPod Nano first.

The plot follows our two secret agents of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (and Tinkerbell the talking cat) as they flee a crazed Harriet Miers and head to the Vast Right Wing Headquarters for help. Tinkerbell is mistaken for the latest piece of VRWC spyware, Scott confesses that he has a VRWC implant, Nathan learns the truth about Karl Rove, and President Bush and Dick Cheney explain how difficult it can be to keep a vast conspiracy running like a well-oiled machine.

We're hoping to have the next Pure Idiom podcast episode up and ready by next week, where our three protagonists visit the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Headquarters and find out that all is well within the world of political illusions.

Nathan and Tinkerbell use the Impossibility Engine to rescue Scott from his hellish Thanksgiving with his relatives in Texas, but when the relatives attack with a baseball bat, the Engine crashlands in Harriet Miers' backyard. Tinkerbell betrays the two humans for a saucer of milk and a tummy rub, and Harriet holds them all captive in a delusional attempt to force them to use the Impossibility Engine to change reality and make her the Chief Justice of the whole wide world!

Your ol' buddy Scott made it back alive from the Portable Media Expo and Podcasting Conference. Thanks to Tim and Emile Borquin, the Podcast Brothers, for making this event a success. Although Tim is considered the Captain Kirk of this Enterprise, we should give mad props to primary podcaster Emile, who is currently hard at work turning every session and keynote speech into a podcast for you all to download soon after the next Pure Idiom podcast is released this week.

Be patient because it'll take Emile an extra couple of days to edit out the 782 antagonistic questions I shouted out during the two days of presentations...

DID YOU TAKE PICTURES?
No, because podcasters are not photogenic. I'm a prime example of this axiom. So is the entire "Pod Squad," the gang of media darlings anointed by Adam Curry via frequent mentions on his Daily Source Code podcast.

DID YOU MEET ADAM CURRY?
No, because Curry was only at the Expo for the Friday night award show to pick up his award for being "podfather" and you had to e-mail the guy a request time with him prior to the Expo. Ditto for any other PodShow types. I only learned of this restriction by listening to his podcast on the plane ride to the expo...

The good news is that Curry is a normal sized guy and not some little five foot-tall shrimp like most celebs.

DID ANYTHING EXCITING HAPPEN?
Yes, click on the Extended Entry for more.

]]> Scott Said What? scott 2005-11-13T20:11:39-08:00 Scott at Portable Media Expo http://www.pureidiom.com/archives/2005/11/scott_at_portab.html What up, dudes?

I'm wrapping up a two-day stint at the Portable Media/Podcasting Expo in California (or as Der Governator would say: "Colleeefournya"). The Expo is a place for podcasters to comisterate and talk about the future of the medium. Nathan's not here, so it's come down to me as the primary person (no cats are allowed the building) at Pure Idiom that can find some cigar-chomping suit from big company that we could sell out to, but so far I haven't found anyone that's buying.

Wanna hear some my adventures here at the Expo? Ironically, I don't have any portable recording equipment that would allow me to podcasting from the event.

I do have my digital camera and may take a few pictures before I leave today.
