Wed, 29 March 2006  Hey everyone, I'm still around, and I haven't pod-faded away. I've just been busy with life, but now I am back into the swing of things. So, there is the dreary boring part where I catch everyone up on the events of my life. YAWN ... I know, but it's my life. Then there's the fun part! Well, it's no secret that Deep Fab is no longer a part of the Rainnbow Pod Squad Network. But hey life goes on. This isn't an ending, it's a new beginning. It's not like I am going anywhere. Since I sit on my ass all day behind a computer, I get to listen to podcasts all day while I code away. So, I am going to list some fabulous podcasts that rock my world.
Bad Weeds: San Francisco with your host Corkey Mineola
This shows intro was:
Father Rock - Back Into It On my next show, could be tomorrow, I can get back into some new news, some great comments, and some great listener email from some great listeners. Just in case you were wondering, I am on iTunes and you can subscribe to me from there. I am going to be making massive changes to my web-site and I'm going to include all of my favorite podcasts. Thanks to all of you for listening! Comments[0] |
Mon, 27 March 2006 LISTENERS, Sent today Friday March 24, 2005 Corkey, Jenny, Anthony & Tom: After numerous conversations between Nick, Andy & I ...we have made the decision that effective today Friday March 24, 2006 we would like to take The Rainbow Podsquad Network in a different and new yet old direction. So...we (Nick, Andy & AJ) feel that we really need to get back to the basics and the core of what we started with back in August of 2005. Which was to have fun, entertain our listeners,make our listeners think in a different way, meet new people & play with our tech toys...in our spare time. Therefore, effective today we will be cutting the RPSN back to the orginal 3 members (AJ, Nick & Andy) and will be recreating RPSN from the ground up. I have not felt very into the whole podcasting thing for a few months now...and this on top of the fact that due to work issues...I just dont have the kinda time on my hands..that it takes to keep this thing going with the current set up. I feel that I'm doing everyone an injustice by not keeping up on things...doing shows....posting...etc.... And I really like each and everyone of you...and don't want to hurt or effect your shows or your personal feelings in any way shape or form......so "I really feel that this is the right thing for me to do at this time". I want to thank all of you for being helpful, being a friend...and for contributing to and believing in the RPSN and we will promote all of you ...in our future endeavors in the podcasting and vidcasting world.... We (Nick, Andy & AJ) will keep podcasting, vidcasting...blogging and whatever else comes along...we are not going away...we are just going to be doing what we have time for...what feels right...what is fun for us ...and most importantly ...our listeners! Please take down all Rainbow Podsquad Materials from your websites ASAP including (banners, iTunes subscribe buttons, RSS Feed buttons, show banners etc...ps: feel free to use your own show banners that was created by Ms. Hipps or Tigger esp for the RPSN folks...and if you would like to promote one of us..feel free..we will be promoting you....we just don't want to confuse the listeners anymore than they will already be !) Again, I want to thank all of you for being a part of my little dream...and I wish all of you the best of luck in the future ....I will be in contact.....and hopefully back in the podcasting chair very soon. Thanks...Love Y'all -AJ- -Nick & Andy- LISTENERS: WE LOVE ALL OF YOU...AND ENJOY DOING GREAT SHOWS FOR YOU AND INVOLVING YOU! LOOK FOR SOME "BIG" CHANGES CUMMIN VERY SOON !!!!!!!!

Fri, 24 March 2006 Well, this is my second show for this week, and I hope the next one will be done for Sunday. In this episode, as usual, I catch you up on what's been going on with me, and I talk about some listener emails and comments that I received in regards to my last two shows. First I got a comment on the RPSN web-site about my last show. It was from Mass Bay Bears who stayed at the Ranch with me this last St. Patty's Day weekend. We all had a good time though I am not into Bears, and they are not into me. I also got an email from Nillo who has his own podcast Nillo's Night. Nillo wrote to share this story with me: Afghan Christian Could Get Death Sentence But it also gets better: Before it gets worse: When it comes to fanatacism, I thought this story was also very interesting: Lastly, I got a comment on the Deep Fab web-site from David who has his queercast: So, all in all, I want to thank everyone who has commented and emailed me. Show #39 had the most listens of all my shows, and I hope I can consistently deliver a better show. Comments[2] |
Wed, 22 March 2006 Sorry for the late Podcast, I was sort of out of it this weekend after an exhausting weekend down in Provincetown, Massachusetts (otherwise knows as Ptown), and I was staying at
The Ranch. I recorded a show late Sunday night, but it was too rushed, and had too much in it, and I hate to do that. So, this is actually "Take 2" of Episode 40.
So, I am still alive, doing well, and I catch you up on what happened down at the Cape (Cape Cod for you non-New Englanders) this past weekend. It was a very Beary weekend in Ptown, and that's cool. I'm just not a bear myself, nor am I into them. Most Bears aren't into me either, which is perfectly fine. I just expected to get some rest this weekend, and I really didn't. But that's ok, Life goes on. The bad part of this weekend (apart from not getting any rest) was missing an important, one in a life-time event, for a very dear friend of mine. I am still racked with guilt about it. The other thing is that the current managers of the Ranch will be moving on. The current managers Jeff and Travis, brought a magic and atmosphere that had guests constantly coming back. If the new management doesn't bring that, then what will become of my favorite guest-house. I had become friends with these guys over the past year, and I will miss them dearly when they go back to NYC. But, hey ... I guess Life goes on, and I wish Jeff and Travis the very best!!!!! Anyway, I think my next show is gonna be great! I got some listener email from dave who does the podcast That Blue Jeans Guy. I've started listening to his podcast and it's great so far. I also got listener email from Nillo who does the podcast Nillo's Knight, but I am still catching up on all his shows. There's a couple of great news items I got, and I can't wait to go over them on my next show. I do listen to a lot of podcasts, and right now, and I'll be listing them on my web-site soon.

Tue, 14 March 2006 So, in this episode, I don't cover any news, no listener emails, and no listener comments. But, I do catch you all up on what's going on with me for the last few days ... not much really. I have a pretty much mundane life, and I kinda like it like that Going forward, I am going back to Provincetown, MA this weekend for St. Patty's Day weekend, and I am so looking forward to it. I hope the weather is good this weekend. Obviously, I want to get drunk on both Friday and Saturday night, but we'll see. Maybe I'll get an interview this weekend. I'll keep trying. So, I didn't talk to much about my trip into Boston last Friday to the gay bar called Machine. I was supposed to meet the guys from the Shockingly Tasty podcast, but they couldn't make it. Anyway, I had still had a good time. But something awoke inside me. As I walked around, drinking my beer, I saw a lot of younger couples, and older couples. Maybe these guys were boyfriends, or just guys hooking-up. But it was the way they looked at each other that really struck me. I wanted (want) someone to look at me that way again. But am I ready for another relationship? Is that what I really want? Do I really want to go through this process of finding a boyfriend again, opening myself up to someone, and lowering walls? Maybe I should stop slutting around, and may start looking for an LTR again? Time will tell, and then I will tell you. :-D Comments[2] |
Sun, 12 March 2006 In this week, I catch you up on my goings on and such. It was a VERY busy week, and I spent a lot of nights staying up late, unfortunately it was nothing of a sexual nature. As you know I've started back in the gym, and it's getting very close to my vaction when I take my first week-long vacation in 9 years, and I am going to Key West for that time. I also went out this week to a bar I had never been to before in Boston, although it has been around for a long time. It's called "Machine", and I was supposed to meet some of the guys from Shockingly Tasty, but unfortunately they couldn't make it. Well, I had a good time anyway, and I will eventually meet those podcasters. In the immediate future, I'm going back down to Provincetown, MA for St.Patty's Day weekend, and staying at The Ranch. I look forward to bringing you my next mobil podcast from there. And now for the news:Mass. Gov. Promises Catholic Church Exemption To Gay Civil Rights Law Meeting Dropped After Pope Accused Of Interfering In Italian Election Report: Gay Prevention Programs Harm Teens Follow-up to other stories: Mass.

Thu, 9 March 2006 Once again the bigs news for me is that I am learning the MacOSX because I got my new PowerBook. But now I also got iLife 06, GarageBand 3, and Podcast Studio. There's a learning curve in learning new applications, so in the meantime I'll keep using Audacity on my PC/Windows machine. My friend Andrew, who is a graphic artist, helped me create some new Album Art and Banners for my podcast. We'll be doing more of that in the future. And this weekend will be a good time for me to start making my web-site look more like the Rainbow Pod Squad web-site. Does anyone have a TiVo? Did your TiVo get updated lately? Well, mine did, and I got some new features including the ability to download and listen to podcasts through your TiVo, Besides being able to choose which podcats they have pre-selected, you can also enter your own RSS URL. So, I did that with my own RSS URL and there it was, all my episodes were listed like on iTunes, and I was able to listen to my podcasts. How soon do you think it will be before they do vidcasts as well? So, I was thinking .... how will this affect someone stats? How do we know how many peole are listening through the TiVo? Does anyone care about that? I am sure some do. In Other News: Quincy church wants to unfurl huge pro-gay marriage banner What to Do When the Emperor Has No Clothes An Anti-Gay Easter Comments[0] |
Sun, 5 March 2006 In this episode, I explain that I just got iLife 06 and a new iSight which my friend Andrew delivered, so I am into heavy learning mode with all this new Mac hardware and software. My friend Andrew helped me create new banner and Album art which I think rock. Finally we got away from World of Warcraft for enough time to work on this project. I have a new (my only) correspondent, a listener, Tom from Tennesse. He sent me a couple of great news stories which I'll be covering in episode #37 of Deep Fab. Lastly, in the news I rant for a good while about one story which really got me upset: Tutu: Muslim Anger Not Just About Cartoons The show is a little longer than usual, and so I won't blame you if you can't listen to all of it. I am sure I'll probably generate some controversery with my opinions of Islam and Christianity, but it's probably nothing you haven't heard before. Comments[0] |
Wed, 1 March 2006 In this episode I talk about how I'm learning how to use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to use on my web-site,and how to use my new mac. Learning GarageBand and other Mac Apps. Civil war seems to be brewing in Iraq, and I have a feeling the U.S. created this situation on purpose. It doesn't seem to take much to incite Muslims to kill. For the U.S., might as well have Muslims killing Muslims. In the news items I picked up: Gay Rights Groups Protest 'Ex-Gay' Rally Priests Challenge Vatican On Gays Minnesota Catholics Divided On Gay Marriage Ban Civil War Looms With 68 Killed in Baghdad Comments[0] |
