Voicemail: 678-68-4935. Last day of NaPodPoMo. I have a nasty cold.
Jen from Inside My Head podcast called a few days ago and asked about how tofu is made and is it gluten-free, as she’s allergic. The good news is, yes, plain tofu is gluten-free, but it’s best to check. Some flavored or dessert tofus may have wheat in them. And wheat is often in soy sauce and sometimes even tempeh.
Her husband Shawn from Gemini Dragon podcast called last night and said he hoped I could keep up podcasting this show. I hope so too. It’s hard, but I love doing it. We’ll see. I’m considering one or two shows a week. Or thereabouts. And maybe getting a partner!
The music I am playing is from The Scarred. It is their song “Last Night” from their album Live Fast Die Poor.
A friend of mine is getting a C-section in a couple of weeks, as her doctor feels it is best, and she is getting a lot of criticism. This sets me off on a rant about people who think they know better than you do how to live your life. People need to mind their own business.
I am playing Michael and Spider‘s “Orchids and Waterfalls” from the album Iridescent Garden. I found them on Music Alley. It’s a very mellow instrumental that is reminiscent of lush Hawaiian music. I love it.
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Also I’m on Twitter as Flyswatter.
Today I rant against the Georgiabillboards about childhood obesity that mostly succeed in shaming fat kids. I hate them so much.
People should be eating good food and getting good exercise, sure, and it would help if bad food wasn’t subsidized by the United States so that it’s cheaper than good, wholesome food, but that is not necessarily going to cause thinness. People’s bodies are different. And you can’t legislate social change from the top down. These ads are just bullying. People’s attitudes to change.
Love Deficiency
I am playing “Too Stupid” by Love Deficiency, which is the project of Super Hi-Tops’ frontman / songwriter, Craig (Dogboy) Nicholson, who plays all the instruments, does all the singing, and does all the editing in a bedroom using a PC and a few pre-amps. I found this on Music Alley.
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. I am jealous of Stephen Colbert and his massive talent, I am wearing all blue except for my shoes, and I am going to play board games with friends tonight.
Also, I’m playing Andy Stice‘s “Treat Me Like Trash” The album is also called Treat Me Like Trash. There is not a lot about him that I can find on the internet except for what his record company put out about him, but he’s extraordinarily talented and I hope he finds out that I played his song. And I found him originally on Music Alley.
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Dwight, Maia, and I just got back from Thanksgiving at my sister-in-laws again this year, and it was sweet. We had all of Dwight’s remaining family members there, my daughter came up from Florida with her boyfriend, my father-in-law and step mother-in-law from Virginia, Dwight’s older brother and his wife came from . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-25-11

I am very grateful to Jennifer Navarrete who invented National Podcast Post Month (this is our fifth year!), and Dave Winer and Adam Curry, the inventors of podcasting and the duel “podfathers” of the technology. I am also very grateful for my boss at the Podcasting . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-24-11
I’m maybe going to do a presentation for Occupy Atlanta that can be autoplayed during a questions and answers after a speech (and maybe even during. We’ll have to figure out a way for it to loop). Not really sure how long they want or if they want music, but there’s always . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-22-11
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Boring Sunday. Dwight sick, dog barking at neighbor’s dogs, daughter playing video games. Ho hum. Last night the dog wanted to go out and bark at the neighbors’ dogs, who took to barking at 3:00 a.m., so we didn’t let him out. It turned out he had diarrhea, . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-20-11
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. I’ve been trying to catch up with other podcasters who have been taking part in National Podcast Post Month, but I really should listen to them in daylight hours.

Where are these men's families? Don't they have anything better to do?
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. You know those old men who would hang around in general stores around a potbellied stove, whittling, playing checkers, shooting the breeze? What’s up with that? Why don’t these men go home? I bet they’re all hanging around on . . . → Read More: Flyswatter 11-18-11
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Another busy day – lots of design work for pay, which is good news.
Halley and I were trapped in the house by boxes marked “Fragile: Glass” and stacked an inch from our front door. This is not the first time that delivery person has pulled this either.
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Despite loud wind, a tornado warning, multiple airplanes, text messages, and a phone call from a client who asked me if I was the one who designed a flyer for him in Corel Draw (No, it wasn’t me. I don’t even have . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-16-11
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. I tell a story about how my little brother was frightened by a sociopathic clown on a carousel when he was little. Why do these people pick on those who are obviously frightened? My mom was very angry and told everyone she knew about this. However, I myself was fond of clowns . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-15-11
Fun fact: I actually was the designer of this logo back in 2007. Hire me!
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. You know the worst thing about NaPodPoMo (National Podcast Post Month)? It fills up my iPod too quickly! Seriously though, you NaPod people keep up the good work–tomorrow’s hump day!

Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Dwight’s on the show again today, and we discuss how the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements actually spring from the same dissatisfaction with the economy and government, and how it may behoove us to work together to change things. This is not a popular . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-12-11
I hurt my back stuffing a (clean) double-sized futon our neighbor’s yard into my daughter’s Honda Civic. Futons are very difficult to move, because they are big, floppy, and have no handles, rather like moving a . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-11-11
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Short show today and the sound is a bit wonky because I was trying to adjust out my daughter playing videogames and the heater coming on. Oh well, during NaPodPoMo it’s quantity rather than quality sometimes.
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Of the three John Hughes films starring Molly Ringwald, which is your favorite–Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, or Pretty in Pink?

Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Busy day, lots of work came in. I almost ran out of time to podcast but hey, money money money! When you freelance, that’s your first priority. I don’t feel comfortable putting any of it off, seeing as how my work flow isn’t at the point that I can count on anything . . . → Read More: Flyswatter Show 11-08-11
Voicemail: 678-368-4935. Today one of the cats vomited on my bed so I’m going to be doing laundry after I get this podcast up. Actually, she also vomited under my desk after I finished recording. That’s it. No cats or dogs in the same room with me when I record!
Voicemail 678-368-4935. Long show today–I was at a board meeting for Independent Investigations Group (IIG) Atlanta today, so Dwight graciously went to Atlanta Freethought Society to record Dr. William Glasser speaking on his new book, The Autobiography of Satan: Authorized Edition.
