Fri, 26 May 2006  I recorded this show late Tuesday night, and I had every intention of publishing this show on Wednesday morning from work. However, life sometimes gets in the way of my podcasting. So, here it is show #55 which I recorded on Tuesday, and just got posted on Friday. Life has gotten in the way. Work hasn't been so bad, at least not until lately. Earlier this week I was able to get my work done, and leave at my regular time so I can get home let my dogs out, and feed'em. However, last night I was at work for an extra couple of hours ... thankfully, that is the exception and not the rule. Now, When I get home you'd think I'd be able to sit down, take a load off, or even play World of Warcraft some more. Nope! I took on some freelance work, and that's doing some Microsoft Access Database programming, and I've been working on that in all my free time. So, the gym has had to take a back-seat to that ... for now. In this show, I didn't cover much news though I know alot is going on. I basically just talk about some of the news items, but not going into anything in depth, there's just too much sometime. But I did want to leave you with some sites to visit:
AlterNet As you know, this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, and I am going back to my second home down in Ptown and staying at The Ranch once again. I look forward to meeting the new manager Todd. I hope he is cute, the last manager and his boyfriend certainly were. Anyway, I'll be doing a podcast when I come back on Sunday night. Maybe when I am down in Ptown I can get some interviews from some drag-performers? This shows Intro was: "Back Into It" by Father Rock Comments[0] |
Sun, 21 May 2006 I recorded this show late last night, and I got to publishing this morning. I also want to apologize for missing my mid-Week podcast. I definitely want to podcast 2-3x per week, but this week, the allergies were just kickin' my ass. So, I just didn't have the energy this week to do a podcast. I'll definitely will do more this week. As you know in the Northeast U.S., we had a lot of rain, and a lot of places North of Boston, Massachusetts got flooded, and some people had to be evacuated. Fortunately, the south of Boston, where I live, was spared, and we didn't get as much rain, and I was never in any danger whatsoever, so I am fine. Finally mid-week the rain stopped and it's been sunny since then, but still cloudy and cool. This is just a typical Spring in New England. So apart from the weather, everything has been going good. Started a new project at work, and that shouldn't be as hard as the last project which had a tight deadline. The pets (4 dogs, and 1 cat) are all doing well. Started working on a frelance project for work in Microsoft Access. And finally able to start work around the house now that the weather is nicer. As for the show, I have been listening to lots of great music from the Podsafe Music Network. I've been trying to find some new music for an Intro and music to play at the end of the show. I've gotten some great ideas from PizzaBabe of the PizzaBabe Goes Global podcast, and from The Quazatoli Connection podcast, both these shows play some awesome music and I love their shows. In the news, the first two stories were sent to me by Nillo who does the Nillo's Night podcast (another fabulous show). This shows Intro was: "Back Into It" by Father Rock Comments[0] |
Sun, 14 May 2006  Yes, Happy Mother's Day! I hope all of you had a fantastic time with your family as much as I did. Belive it or not, I seem to get along well with my family, and everyone in my family knows I am out, loud, and proud ... and no one in my family seems to care! I guess that is a good thing. Anyway, I must be getting senile early, because I keep forgetting the last time that I podcast. I could have sworn it was later this week, but I guess it wasn't. So, enjoy this latest episode as I go completely off the deep-end into politics. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of time to cover all these topics, but here is a list of items that I touch on ... some briefly: This shows Intro was: "Back Into It" by Father Rock BTW, I hope everyone likes the web-site additions, and thanks to all those who are listening from Boston, to the mid-west, and Europe. And please, please, please, please ... add yourself to my Frappr Map! I'm not ashamed to beg! :-D Comments[0] |
Wed, 10 May 2006 As Grandma used to say, "it's nice to get away, but it's also nice to come back home." Truer words were never spoken, and I was glad to leave when I did. I mean I had a great time at the Island House in Key West, it's also good that I left when I still liked the place. So, I'll definitely be going back there ... but who knows when. So, it was a good trip back, and I dug into some more of my book "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown (the same guy who wrote the "DaVinci Code"). I got home about 9pm last Saturday night (May 6th), and of course, nothing had changed at my house. The dogs were still there waiting for me, they're still pee-ing in my house, and I still had to feed them that night. On the lighter side, once I mopped-up the dog-pee, fed the monsters, and took care of them, then myself and my future roomie Andrew went out to dinner to the Outback Steakhouse. Now, I'm back to work, and things aren't as hectic as they once were. I even had some free time at work, that I took to updating the Deep Fab web-site. I added the Flickr Map, the ClustrMap, the "Save the Internet" image and link, and the image and link to my Frappr map. So, if anyone feels like checking out my pics of Key West, go ahead. If anyone feels like adding themselves to my Frappr map, that's great also. Now that I am back at work, I get a chance to listen to Podcasts again. I hate to say it, but I didn't listen to any podcasts while I was away. So, now I have to get caught back up, and I don't think it will take me very long to do. From what I am hearing so far, a lot in the podcast-world has changed. Chaunchey Madge's dog had to be put down. Wanda Wisdom is now a full-time paid podcaster. Ragan Fox is moving to Los Angeles, David that Blue Jeans Guy has a new job, and Twinkleboi and Leo have broken-up. What else have I missed? So, now that I am home, I am also getting back into what's been in the news. And I guess the news hasn't changed that much either:

Sun, 7 May 2006  I recorded this show this morning, or I should say Saturday Morning, after I had just gotten up. I had every intention while still at the Island House to produce and publish my show from there. That way, you'd be able to dload the show while I was on my way home. Unfortunately my headphones had been packed away so I wasn't sure what the sound quality was like, and as it turned out, producing and uploading the show was more time than I had. In any event, I had a great last day at the Island House in Key West. I sat by the pool and read my book "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown, the same guy who wrote the "DaVinci Code." I checked out the video-room a few last times, but believe it or not, it was kinda dead. I used the pool quite a bit because it was so hot out, and even though I used SPF#30, I still got a little burnt, but nothing I can't handle. As I told you on my last podcast, there was an event going on this weekend in Key West called Tropical Heat, which is running from May 4th - May 7th. I didn't go to the opening event on Thursday ... nah, wasn't too interested. But I did get to the events at Kwest and Aqua. These two clubs are right next to each other. For pics of the events so far I recommend visiting the web-site Pistol & Enema and visit their pictures page. The owner of the P&E web-site is a guy by the name of Neil, and he's an awesome guy. Believe it or not, he's originally from Foxboro, Massachusetts and I hope to see him in Ptown for the Fourth of July. Anyway, I had a great time dancing at the Skin-on-Skin dancing at Aqua. I met 5 hot, cute boys, from Hotlanta, Georgia. I wish I had gotten to know all of them better. Anyhoo, I made it back to my room around 1am, and promptly went to bed. I was exhausted from all the dancing ... and yeah, I was a little drunk ... ok, maybe a lot drunk. But I staggered back to my room and didn't drive! This morning, and I mean Satuday, May 6th, morning, I got up around 8am to use the facilites. I also figured I'd pack a few bathroom things before I went back to sleep. I never did get back to sleep though. I started packing a few things, a few more things, and a few more things. Then I was awake enough to record this podcast. So, I checked out the video-room for one last time and fooled around with one last guy. I took a shower, got dressed, packed some more, and checked-out of the Island House by 11am. I still had 90 minutes to kill before I left for the Key West Airport, so I planned on producing/publishing this show but it didn't happen. Anyway, that is where I leave it for now. I'll catch you up on the remainder tomorrow. TTFN ... Comments[0] |
Thu, 4 May 2006  First, it is brigt, sunny, and shiny in Key West this Thursday morning. I want to apologize for not getting this podcast posted sooner. I've had a thousand issues, the first being technical issues. It was Tuesday morning, that I woke up and I was burned to Hell. So, I decided to stay out of the sun, get on the Internet, and get out on the town. So I walked down the street to an Internet Cafe, and started producing this show. Boy did I have issues! First, this damn laptop had no available hard-disk space, so I was trying to clear it all off and make space. I didn't realize how much space Audacity needed to move files around. When I am at home on my desktop, I have tons of disk space, so that is not an issue. Then I tried to encode the podcast to an MP3 file, and I didn't have LAME installed. I finally got that installed and half-way through the conversion, my system had a BSOD (blue-screen-of-death). Later that evening I finally got an internet connection at the Island House. As it turns out, there is an internet connection here at the Island House. However, only ONE antenna works, and that is by the bar/pool ... not a bad thing, but I also wish it had worked in my room!!! Anyway, so here I am in a sarong, not naked but close to it. I am by the bar/pool and having some breakfast as I type this. I am having a wonderful time still, and I was also fortunate earlier this week to do my first interview. Yes, three lovely drag queens broke my interview cherry, and you'll catch them at the end of this podast. Here are some links that I think you might like in regards to my podast:
801 Bourbon Street Again I want to apologize for taking so damn long to post. Yes, I know I am on vacation, but I wanted to let everyone know I was alive and well. I will be recording once more this week, probably tomorrow, and I am sure I will get it posted tomorrow. And, again, thanks for listening and being so patient with me. Comments[1] |
Sun, 30 April 2006 So, I survived the trip to Key West and I arrived safely. Albeit, at Miami Airport we had a snafu with our plane. It was an American Eagle plane, and the first one we got on had mechanical problems, so they put us quickly on another plane. I am not at the Island House and it is everything I thought it would be and more. My room is a little small, but I do have my own bathroom which is great since I will be here for a week. I went out to the local bars last night and met some wonderful drag-qeens and saw a great drag-show. I'm going to be going back today and interview them. One least of the girls, Samantha, knows what a podcast is, so that's great! So, the only issue I have is their wireless access. The antenna is right outside my room, so I should get great access. But neither my Mac or my Thinkpad with Windows 2000 is able to connect. They say it only works with Windows XP. If anyone can give me some help on how to get my wireless working here, that would be great. Send me email to deepfabulousity@gmail.com Lastly, the weather is here, wish you were beautiful. ;-) Category: general -- posted at: 12:06 PM Comments[1] |
