As awesome as the freedom to be wildly imaginative is, the problem with free form comes with conflict resolution. With no rules, who decides who’s imagination rules?

Which is why being a storyteller is the best form of free form RPG. I think I’ve heard some of Lejon’s free form RPG games in the form of No One S.E.L.F.

(Did I get the title right?)

First off — fun, as always.

Regarding comments: What I lack in frequency, I make up for in verbosity…

1. Yeah, I’ve been listening for a while, but I’m not always good on the whole “remembering what comments I wanted to make” thing. I decided to try taking voice notes on my phone right after I got done listening — we’ll see how it goes, but so far so good.

2. Personal preference item: I get the whole “it’s us having a conversation” dynamic that it helps enforce, but for the love of all things holey (like swiss cheese, for example), could you do me a favor and drop the right-speaker-Bob, left-speaker-Fondeux thing? I tend to do all my ‘cast listening on my phone, while doing things like grocery shopping. I usually only have one earbud in, so I can have some awareness of what’s going on around me. This week’s ‘cast was… difficult, in that regard.

3. As a side note, a joke here around the mcHomestead (stemming from me misunderstanding The Boy) is to refer to parmesan cheese as “Farmer John cheese” — which struck me as suddenly funny during the “Blame Fondeux” bit, with the reminder of the whole “John Melted Cheese” meaning. All Fondeux needs to do is start playing crappy farming games on Facebook, and we’ll have come full circle.

4. Turns out the DOJ isn’t really happy with Apple’s new EULA, either — seems that they feel they’re using their dominance in the mobile OS market to push their agenda in the desktop OS biz. Since there’s iPhone / iPad dev aspirations afoot, it might be something to keep an eye on before shelling out the Apple tax.

5. Don’t discount the Windows Phone Series 7 Phone 7 Series Windows 7 Series Phone Phones coming out later this year, either (no, *not* the Kin). While the OS name needs some work (and, admittedly, it’s better now that it’s really just “Windows Phone 7″), it’s looking like it’s going to actually be a good entry in the smartphone arena, and the dev tools are (a) free, and (b) pretty darn good. There’s every chance that one of these will replace my BlackBerry when it’s new phone time (1.25 years from now) (Thus Endeth the Microsoft Apologist portion of the comments).

6. There is no note number 6.

Yeah, I know it’s spelled “Fondoo”…

So this is what I was thinking. You all touched on it a little bit with the upgrades idea then the cops needing upgrades to be able to deal with the upgraded criminals.
This one thing leads to another scenario would actually become the evolution of our species. Because the natural evolution would be altered and natural selection wouldn’t exist. We would find ways of upgrading ourselves to with technology to keep even the weakest links alive and thriving. Over time our species would depend solely on the technology for advances in humanity. We would become the Borg but hopefully without the kill everyone attitude.

Sign me up for the BOX!!! I think a lot of human brain’s potential is lost just because the correct or not enough information is available. If we had more direct access to data then we each would be able to work at a higher capacity. Give me the WiFi brain implant so i can look up info faster… I could imagine being able to think of a topic and just having data stream in to my head about that topic… Very Very COOL!!!

Let me know on the Google Voice thing… I have invites left…

BTW… Used Google Wave for a business collaboration / brainstorming session this week. I was surprised how awesome it worked. There were two of us writing the same doc at the same time. It was very cool… Downfall: no really good way to get it in to a word doc after it was done. I found a way… not a easy way. I will have to write a blog about it.

I personally like the new Screwdriver, along with the little flanges on the side of the tip.

And hello? Steampunk TARDiS FTW!!!

One of these days, like so many other things, I will get caught up on the show from before the reintroduction.

I am looking forward to he new season.

My favorite episodes are with the Ood. No species he met along the way were as cool as they were.

I haven’t watched the new one yet but I am planning to this evening.
I will post my thoughts later.

Happy New Doctor Day!

Oh, and Easter I guess…

Ep39 was supposed to be posted during the weekend, but Fondue heard the call of nature and just had to respond.

This one, we wanted to make sure we got out before the BBC premiere!

Besides, don’t you have a commute? :-p

FYI… This has happened a few times to me but my pod catcher sometimes pulls the cast as double its posted size and length(it doubles the entire cast when listening too). It my be the catcher but it only happens ever so often and only with this feed.

Why do I admit to seeing these things…

I pimp Dexter!!!

No, I don’t recall what Movie that is. I’m thinking it’s the one where he was a rapist, but I can’t recall the name.

Guess I’ve got some listening to catch up on WOO WOO!

Gottoon: Gottoon it is. Henceforth, you can consider that your name in the comments shows…

Another show is in the can, should be up soon.

I vote for Gottoon too… Been almost 12 years with that online name.

There has been a lot going on during my time away from the show too. It was a little weird that I was away from listening about the same amount of time Bob was out… I smell conspiracy! Welcome back Bob!!!

Hope to hear another EP soon.

You mean Google Voice right?

Guys,

Whats up with the loss of another number. I know I have been busy but really?!?!
But I am with Jack, Google Voice is the way to go if you want a nice easy to use VM system.

Unfortunately, I said them out loud. I hope the Girl Scouts selling cookies outside of the store will eventually recover…
