018 Zymurgists for 9-11

12 September 2009 Show Notes: Episode 18 Zymurgists for 9-11

The Macintosh Prayer

(Let Us Pray)

Steve Jobs, who art in Silicon Valley

Ubiquitous be thy Apple

Thy iPhones surfs, Thy iPods sync

To PCs as they do to Macs

Give us this keynote our yearly revolution

And forgive us our transgressions, as we forgive them that proselytize Windows

And lead us into temptation

But deliver us from Microsoft

For Apple is the dreamer, the designer, the doer, forever and ever.

We're back, baby! ...with less fail this episode! Since we lost so much recording last week, we're giving Adraw & Alienation a second chance to rock our background music scene! After a quick prayer to keep this show fail-free, we jump right in with Rain talking about her puppy Chevron (Chevy). While it will not be revealed to the end of the show, we'll spoil it now and say that Kitty-Kat and Rain are now official co-hosts of the show! [Kermit Flail] First on our agenda (or lack thereof) is talk of ShoWare Stadium in Kent, Wa. and its hosting of the new (lingerie) football team, The Seattle Mist! (Who won their debut game, to boot!) Also making its debut at the stadium was Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (which also made an appearance at its traditional stop at the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center). Pimpage then occurs for all (most) of the big Seattle sports teams (though we'll pimp the one's we missed as well in the show links below) in the area. While Glacier Wulf takes (naughty) photos of Kitty-Kat, Osyris and Johnny-B reminisce about a drunken escapade that ended in thong wearage! We then get into the brewing of the IPA & Amber Alt Ale from last week and Johnny-B's modified Ale brew this week. During the talk, we pimp an upcoming video podcast special about our brewing and a possible visual tour of the studio... so stay tuned for that! During the double batch brew fest, we had a marathon of Basic Brewing Video™ in the background! We also get sidetracked by Glacier Wulf and his mead brewing. Ending the brewing topics is a upcoming trip to Leavenworth, Wa. for Octoberfest! (See our episode art work for the final brew topic!)

In our next major topic, we discuss the events 8 years ago on 11 September 2001 (and we observe a moment of silence). We give our two-cents on the subject and its aftermath before misquote President Thomas Jefferson; because it was Benjamin Franklin who truly said, “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Unlike the misquoting we used on the show, the quote here in the show notes is the correct one. On the same post-9/22 line, we then get into the issues of Homeland Security, the TSA, and buses of powers by "security guards". Osyris makes points regarding South American and African leaders in context while Johnny-B notes the issues Adam Curry had entering the country (USA). Plus we recall our own personal first reactions to hearing of the attacks. We then go into the meat of what happened and why the buildings went down. After this, we switch to the Organ State football player who acted like a jackass and disgraced his university, LeGarrette Blount. That churns into Osyris' role in UWT (Butt-Scratcher!?) before devolving into an Family Guy/Adam West/God discussion. Getting into the show stats, we make another John C. Dvorak sighting before going into the nuts and bolts of our small listenership. Going ever further into the ditch, we have a talk about wood. We then bitch at our listeners for not reviewing the show and e-mailing us. Then Johnny-B gets mad over 3-D Home Entertainment Systems before telling us the story of MST3K-ing Passion of the Christ with his brother! We then explain the origins of Honeymoon (Mead). This evolves into breading out atheism.

We cream out pants over the new Beatles Rockband & digitally re-mastered discography of all the band's works. [Kermit Flail!] We pimp the 9/20 Sakura-Con meeting at the WSCTC and give info about what is happening in the next couple episodes, including Osyris going back to TWU. Making the podcast school credits? We'll see! Butt-Scratcher! Our new co-hosts (officially) are announced! Huzzah! After this, since Johnny-B had to be at work (Sunday) at 0700(am), we finally end the show.

B2S1 017 Non Fui Non Sum Non Curo

5 September 2009 Show Notes: 017 Non Fui, Non Sum, Non Curo

Show title translation from Latin, "I Was Not, I Am Not, I Care Not." It was the old-school Greek version of Rest In Peace. Okay, peoples, I'll give you the skinny: we brought our Mac Pro to its knees; literally! So, while Wild-Reto & Rain are back (Huzzah for Reto!!!) we had several recording fuck-ups during the two hours (and when we tried to shut the computer down after recording, it crashed... Mac black screen of death!). We lost a total of 57 minutes of material! FUCK!!! So we're just gonna give you the links this episode; you'll have to listen to the show to get the scoop... and no, there is no Centennial malt; just like the dueling churches over dog souls stories were indeed created & thus are fictitious. Sux. :(

9/11 Conspiracy Theories Proved Wrong

Colorado Activists Confront CDC Official on Mandatory Vaccinations

Now, in this case of H1N1, I do NOT think mandatory vaccinations are necessarily required. Why? Because as yet this flu as not shown itself to be more deadly than the "seasonal flu". Furthermore, due to the over-hype surrounding this flu, I fear there is much more propaganda than information about this new virus. Now, I think there will be benefit for some to have these new vaccines but there does not seem to be rationale outside the realm of speculation of what this new strain might do. I would argue that the seasonal flu has just as much chance of becoming a monster as this flu given its current performance. Now, are there some shady things going on in the background that may be scrupulous? Maybe, but I doubt what is in the vaccines wil be anymore "evil" than what is already in the normal vaccines (of which there is no "evil"). Still, something new and rushed to boot by a industry that is not looked well upon is bound to get some negative attention, warranted or not. Still, you must decide for yourself what to do in this matter and in order to do so, I suggest making it know that mandatory vaccinations for this flu are a bit extreme and should not be considered in those (US) states which have not decided yet on a course of action. As for those whom have, you can still make your voice known.

As a side note, I do NOT agree with the gentlemen in this video who says kids are "over-vaccinates". That statement just shows a ignorance of how the immune system and vaccines work.

"Back 2 Square 1" New Episode 015

Back 2 Square 1 has a new episode: 015 Islamic Influence

Saturday 22 August 2009 Show Notes:

We're back & with a reduced crew again; just Osyris Diamond (who has flu-like symptoms... though I doubt it's a cool as "Swine Flu" or known as "Mexican Flu" for international listeners. He'll be blowing his nose throughout the show), Johnny-B, & the Kitty Kat! PKP is back in the house for our background music & starts off where we last left off with their track "Northbound". Joining us in the studio this evening is my new Bengal kitten, Lexus Ton-Ton (pronounced Tän-Tän) a.k.a. Crouton. Check out some more videos here: Lexus Ton-Ton a.k.a. Crouton. We discuss some of the (not-so) highlights of having her since Tuesday before Johnny-B goes into a mini-rant on "rabbit pooh" constipation. Osyris is "hating life" for lack of sleep & sanity but has yet to regret getting his $200.00 kitten (inflated to at least $500.00 with cat stuff & the first round of vet appointments). We give a shout-out to our missing comrades (Wild-Reto, Dark-Lilith, Dutchie Dutchmen, Glacier Wulf) before explaining how sick Osyris really was & how it relates to the B.S. at Iron Mountain, whose management can't properly assign replacement employees for open shifts. He explains his revelation of why he's all too often sick during the school season then the work ethics of his male family predecessors. We then talk about the other cat in-residence Taximus Maximus Meridius Kittius & his origins.

Johnny-B then segways into his co-worker from France who is dealing with an identity-crisis between being French & Algerian & Muslim. He goes on about some misconceptions of Islam & the Koran before Osyris relates this conversation to the proposed revamping of Paris: "Greater Paris" (see link above) & how it relates to dealing with the issues facing the city regarding its upper-class center and lower-class suburbs. He notes the 1995 movie "la Haine" (which is French for "Hate", though Osyris cannot recall the movie by name during the recording) as a reference for this tension (see links above). He also relates it back to the issues with Israel & Palestine discussed last week's show & relating it to the origins of "ethnic nationalism" as a consequence of European colonialism & western interference in the 19-20th century. Johnny-B brings it back to the Islam integration issue (globally) & discusses its role as the dominant social, economical, political, cultural, artistic, scientific, mathematic, & spiritual leader several centuries ago. Osyris brings up the 2005 movie "Kingdom of Heaven" (though once again he failed to remember it's name while recording) and its ending sequence in relation to this historical topic (see links above). From Wikipedia, "Privately, Saladin picks up a cross that was thrown off and puts it back on the table as well as refusing to step on the stones carved with crucifixes." We also touch on the US/USSR cold war effects on the Middle Eastern region & the rest of the world for that matter (with hints of capitalism). We then end the long rant with a little poking of the western educational system.

Changing topics, Johnny-B updates us on the home-brew (based on Alaskan Amber Ale) before pimping a new place call "The Beer Essentials" store down in Lakewood, Wa. Check out their website & visit their locale if you're in the area (see link above). He then updates us on the software he's working on for home-brewing (embedded system-based)! Osyris then updates everyone on the spikes in downloads for episodes 014 & 013, thanking Glacier Wulf for pimping the show to new people while on the job!). Welcome all new listeners! (New start e-mailing us, damn it! ...email is below.) We then talk about the changing nature of the podcast (B2S1) & where is might and should go in the future (your help, listener, is always appreciated and encouraged).

Then Osyris does something obscene before we get around to bugging our pseudo-co-host Kitty-Kat about what her point in life (let alone the podcast) is. This leads into (and was in-part a product of) a discussion of some background issues brought up by (currently) nameless co-hosts & the role of insults, touchy topics, & apologies (or the lack thereof). (We then remember to pimp PKP on the show.) We then plot to get Telefon Tel Aviv (see links above) as the background music (& maybe on the podcast itself) before ragging on Kitty Kat again in an attempt to get her talking. (It should be noted at the time of the recording of this podcast, we were unaware of the passing of Cooper. RIP) Osyris & Johnny-B sing Happy Birthday to Kitty Kat! We then rag on Iron Mountain again. We round out the show by visiting Failblog.org & Dvorak Uncensored with a great (old) Daily Show report on spamming. Osyris then sings us out... before failing & then we pimp the email before signing off.

Lexus Ton-Ton a.k.a. Crouton

Below are some videos of my baby Bengal, whom some of you met in a previous entry. Now she is home with me and adjusting (rather well) to her new environment. All video thus taken (including the aforementioned video) were shot with a Sony DSC-S650 digital camera. She now has a full name: Lexus Ton-Ton (pronounced Tän-Tän). Her nickname will be "Crouton". I figured Lexus was a classy name for a kitten with lots of spunk and vigor. Crouton was taken from an incident where a crouton was dropped on the floor and she attacked it like no tomorrow. Unable to eat the crouton, her playfully gnawed on it in a most cute way. This is where Ton-Ton is derived. She is, of course, a pure-bred Bengal hybrid a couple generations removed from the original crossing. She cost $200.00 and was born 27 June 2009, making her 8 weeks old this Saturday. She weighs 1.4lbs and is in the process of getting her shots and the like in order. She loves to play and gives the vet all shorts of hell, even to which they can't take her temperature. She's a feisty one, alright. That's mah girl kittah! =3

Back 2 Square 1 Episode 014 posted!

Back 2 Square 1 has produced yet another episode: 014 Brewer's Aftermath

Show Notes: 15 August 2009
Take 3! (Again!) Only an hour this time... brewing took too much out of the others & Osyris was recovering from a bad case of McDonald. The studio fridge is finally operational! Johnny-B & Glacier Wulf discuss the latest home-brew, first in the new place (& in two years or so). [Correction: there was 14.5lbs of malty grain used in the brew, not 12lbs.] We talk -again- about whom Osyris is likely a "Bi-In-Denial" & female issues. "Crouton", which is the given name currently for my girl Bengal cat. Lava lamps (yes, we now have two!) in da studio! We don't have the doom dice tonight, or Dutchie or Dark-Lilith, so we're winging it. First, we head to Dvorak Uncensored blog & listen to American President Obama make a great gaff about the U.S. Postal Service. We also browse several other blog posts before switching to Failblog & skim through three pages of fail. Among other topics, we give our two-cents about child discipline & spanking. Then we watch an epic fail unicyclist via Failblog before Osyris goes into a "reverse racism" rant. Due to the day's events, we consider a 20min. break before deciding not to & check out the BBC World Service News & ranting briefly about the red cards give out at the Sounders/Galaxy MLS match (2-0w). After stumbling through a mini-rant about the bullshit surrounding Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma/Myanmar, & briefly talking about Secretary of State Clinton (& her more famous husband) Osyris finally give Israel hell (again) about the Palestine conflict. Wanna come on the show & give us a piece of your mind? E-mail us & we'll make it happen! (See address below...)
