So good to watch this show. Nobody works in France in August (and in July) (and in December), so we have to cross the virtualocean (i'm a poet) to find a good vlog.
I've already stopped carrying around a cell phone so people can't find me evry second of the day. Now we have Dodgball. Why don't we all just have an OnStar chip embedded in our butts and get it over with?
I'm 7000 meters below the antarctic waters talking to a pudgy walrus and was wondering if anyone within 10 glacial blocks would like to join us for some ice tea?
Comments should be given at least 7 second delay before you delete them otherwise hire a mouse that sporadically does cartwheels ocassionally running over a button loaded with cheese crumbs and inadvertently deletes posted comments. There are many PC mice out there looking for work and would be glad to accomodate.
You can't beat the cheat who's out to delete instead of greet the man on the street sitting on the subway seat eating a meringue treat while winding his way to his penthouse suite looking kinda downbeat in this dead heat even though once he was part of the executive elite and posted RB comments in a way that were very discreet (comma) completey without conceit which is no mean feat (coma) only to have Drew treat him like a piece of raw meat and delete the poor sot's post from his living room suite.
A signwriter finishes painting a sign for a pub called the Horse and Cart, and it reads:
HorseandCart
The publican (the owner) say's to the sign writer:
"The space between Horse and and, and and, and Cart is too small."
REDOIT.
If the map needs changing here are two suggestions...
1) there are quite a few interesting attempts to visually render a map of the internet out there which could be used... ?
2) I've seen an Australian map which subverts the ususal US/Eurocentric view of the world and shows the view from down under, ie the map is the other way up. (Well, there's a lot to be said for looking at the world anew.)
I thought I was the only one who got deleted! It happens to me all the time. If Drew deletes the ones he doesn't like, it makes you wonder how many of the glowing comments are "drewfabricated" in the first place.
DodgeBall is a bad, bad, bad, very bad, incredibly bad idea.
A friend of mine meeting another friend of mine w/out me being there, orchestrating the meeting, or even knowing about it, is a clear and utter violation of an unwritten social rule engrained into united states culture, that goes something like: "don't be a stalker!!"
what were the comments like when amanda was host? just wondering. I bet these comments are so annoying to the powers that be. it's got to be hard to hear all this raging online commentary on everything you do....
i really miss times when i got deleted, i think i have been deleted here since my beginnings at least 3 or 4 times, and i'm still here as a brave survivor, i take my deletions as battle wounds, with honour no as "others" who complain and cry as little girls.
i have a brilliant idea to gift you, you and you for the background......*suspense*...... put a theater fashion curtain in red/violet!!!!! and sometimes a hand could pass joanne "something", it will add mystery and sophistication.........or perhaps leave the map but give it a more tridimentional effect, i say to look as a mix between a map an a globe, put some pillows under the map.....that will be also sexy.
where i say "under" i mean "behind" to a obtain the 3-D effect in a cheap way.....if i don't clarify, my previous comment was a candidate to be deleted
Dear Rocketboom. Thanks for kicking @$$ again. As far as a backdrop - there's a cool poster/print out there called "The Brilliant Earth" (had it up in my cube until I got layed off a few weeks back). It's a sattelite image of the earth at night, and would look really cool behind joanne.
How about if semi-offensive comments ("hate mail", hurtful to show or crew) and very stupid comments ("I'm first!") get moved into a separate page at rocketboom.org? Then the curious people can still see them. The very gross comments can still be deleted (in my opinion), with an explanation like "obscene comment deleted".
I live in Nova Scotia and I didn't even hear about the $2m comma. Utility poles are a big deal here since we have almost no top soil. It was all pushed out to sea during the last ice age, around 10 000 years ago. We can't bury electrical and fiber-optic line because there's only one foot of dirt before you hit bedrock. Not nearly enough to clear the 1 meter frost depth in the winter.
For God's sake, how does something as fun as Rocketboom attract so many critical, petty, backseat vlogging, curmudgeons? Do you *really* want it to be as polished and boring as network television?
Dodgeball is an interesting concept. But I could have sworn that Amanda did a piece on that about six months ago? I'm starting to believe that RB 1.0 was very much her creation. Dang, I just got deleted again...
"Joanne has no personality"? Hey, that's a mean thing to say. Try to think of what you are saying and what it means to the person who reads it. Joanne is trying her best to be the RB anchor and deserves our respect. Not personal attacks. She has been sincere and genuine and that should be clear. So let's start acting like a community instead of a feuding family throwing hurt around, okay?
Drew. What a joker! I keep getting deleted! What did I say that was so offensive? The fact that your credibility has now come into question because everyone now knows you delete unfavorable comments. What a joke!
So when there is only 30 comments in a day, how many negative ones got deleted? 70? 50? who knows. All I know is that I have been deleted 5 times in the last few weeks. And like I said before, it makes you wonder about the positive ones. Did Drew write most of those?
jeep: It's not really a new way to tie shoes, as I've tied my shoes like that for over 30 years...but maybe I can speed up my walk after 40 years of slow motion!
As with a favorite TV show or radio host who leaves, at first I missed Amanda. But now she has moved on to other things. She will do fine. Now, for the time being, it's Joanne's turn. I like her. Nice face, good voice, a subtle wit and pleasant personality about her. And after some time she too will go on to better things. But for now, let's appreciate Joanne and her gifts to Rocketboom. The shows have been very enjoyable and informative. All the best!
Rocketboom got totally punked. Everyone knows that dodgeball doesn't even really exist. It's a bunch of lower east side hipster kids pretending they invented this service and running around pretending to be techies. Funniest prank since flashmobs.
Didn't anybody notice that the judge overturned the no-warrant cops because what he was doing was illegal? That doesn't matter. You still need a warrant - or did something change? I mean, they can break into anyone's home and they will not be held accountable provided they find something illegal? Um...
Joanne, I never get your gushishnous OFF-SITE, HOW DARE YOU! Rocketboom is the KONG! I love your accent, your eyes and your smiles. You are the best pod-cast this world has SEEN!, but be fore-warned, I plan to feat you, or at least, join you. Princess-of-the-Bride style. Travel blog coming in 7, 8 months. I hope you'll 'comment' on it. Love you and blog you,
Brian
shes beautiful
What the! Why is the map back? Did I miss something?
MB
Nice. I'm glad you reported on the $2 million comma (there's some good analysis of the mistake here: http://tinyurl.com/jrzgd).
Please get a new backdrop for Joanne. Her you should keep.
Tim... get a life! Amanda has moved on... and so has RB!
Life is good...
So good to watch this show. Nobody works in France in August (and in July) (and in December), so we have to cross the virtualocean (i'm a poet) to find a good vlog.
A + (means "see you" in French)
Hay houses. I love it.
For the wall behind Joanne. I used to have a map of the moon on the ceiling of my teenage bedroom.
Rocketboom? Out of this world? Map of the moon? Hmmm.
I've already stopped carrying around a cell phone so people can't find me evry second of the day. Now we have Dodgball. Why don't we all just have an OnStar chip embedded in our butts and get it over with?
brilliant .. .
joannes voice is so lovely .. . not to mention that she is beautiful .. .
Fantastic show today.
Stop commenting ! I'm getting a headache.
But WHY is there a target over the UK??? This is keeping me up at night!
I'm 7000 meters below the antarctic waters talking to a pudgy walrus and was wondering if anyone within 10 glacial blocks would like to join us for some ice tea?
(X-girl preferably, right Wally?)
Is it me or is dodgeball the utterly crappiest and dubest idea ever?
Nice shoe...
as for comments: I've never had the privilged of being deleted! What does it take:!!
Please: DELETE ME! JUST ONCE!
So I know what it feels like!
-steve
Good show Joanne,
You are adorable.
Comments should be given at least 7 second delay before you delete them otherwise hire a mouse that sporadically does cartwheels ocassionally running over a button loaded with cheese crumbs and inadvertently deletes posted comments. There are many PC mice out there looking for work and would be glad to accomodate.
2 mill for a comma?
How much is a colan worth?
Priceless!
ughh! I'm sorry to say but Joanne has no on camera personality. She comes off as uber cheesy and very stiff.
Help her! OR, let us help pick a new talent.
You can't beat the cheat who's out to delete instead of greet the man on the street sitting on the subway seat eating a meringue treat while winding his way to his penthouse suite looking kinda downbeat in this dead heat even though once he was part of the executive elite and posted RB comments in a way that were very discreet (comma) completey without conceit which is no mean feat (coma) only to have Drew treat him like a piece of raw meat and delete the poor sot's post from his living room suite.
(a semi colan is worth £20)
You guys come across this one before ?
A signwriter finishes painting a sign for a pub called the Horse and Cart, and it reads:
HorseandCart
The publican (the owner) say's to the sign writer:
"The space between Horse and and, and and, and Cart is too small."
REDOIT.
Grammar's cool.
Nice show.
I thought today show was very good.
I don't think I would sign up for dogdeball anytime. I agree with it being unsave for people with all kinds of crazy's out there.
And if my friends want to get a hold of me then they can call me themselves. I don't need a web site connecting me up to them.
Excellent to see an item from the Canadian Maritimes, and about a crucial comma to boot! Outstanding!
By the way, the name of the comma-attentive company, Aliant, is pronounced a-LIE-ent, not ALIEN-t.
This is but one more sign that RBII is better than ever.

Oh my gosh, easily the best RB yet with JC! Way to go as I loved every second of it, especially her send-off at the end!!!

sgazzetti - top marks for getting the html syntax wrong in your URL on the subject of punctuation.
It should be:

So, without the enclosing bracket and fullstop ... ! : )
Thanks for the link though.

You stay classy, RocketBoom.
DodgeBall is a bad, bad, bad, very bad, incredibly bad idea.

Maybe Joanda is a robot or an animated being that Drew fabricated as well?
cube discotheque rocks, I love the concept of those cubes lighting up like that.
If you delete things, people complains, you're thwarting their freedom.
If you don't delete anything, people complains, you're an irresponsible libertine.
It's wonderful to be a human.
Great show today. Informative, entertaining, and fun! Keep up the good work folks! :)
I think I heard a Wilhelm Scream in there!

"in the cracks in the grass"? oh, naughty clever!
Q.how do you put a tiger in your tank?
A.kick 'im in the gas hole!
you wouldn't delete that would you?
Replace RB map with:

because sooner or later they're coming to get you, whether you like it or not.
jb, the target that appeared over the UK looks like the astronomical symbol for Earth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
It seems to be a simple marker to call out Joanne's connection with the UK.
Just my guess.

Dodgeball sounds like a great way to track people down. I hope there's a way to turn it off so you can't be tracked to some places...

Awesome use of the Wilhelm scream!
Dear Joanne,
you are cooler than you try to be. So relax and get real!
enjoing the show,
Gunther
still looking for a map? Why don't you use the treasure map you used to find Joanne? she's so classy!
Fun show.

d.

I just love Joanne as well as SherngLee. What a team! Good job RB2.0! I tune in everyday and tell all my friends to do the same.

its Aa-lie-ent, not "alien-ent" ---- geeesssshhh :)
Keep up the good work - still an avid daily watcher!
Your friends from the Maritimes of Canada
Nice use of the Wilhem scream in the report about the tigger. I am getting use to RB 2.0 and the Wilhem helps.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream

I do like Joanne however.
I think all of today's comments should be Deleted.
If I'm too late with this post I think this casual Friday should be named
Official Deletion Day.
I think Joanne should hit the streets and ask the following:
"Have you ever been deleted?"
Should get some blank stares and some pretty hilarious responses.
She could followup to those who don't understand the questin: "Have you ever commented in a blog or vlog only to be deleted? How did it make you feel?
Their you go ....what an excellent show idea.
Don't leave me Joanne.
Isn't this what vloging is all about? Free speech. Honesty is the best policy.
Hmmm Rocketboom ftw. Somehow this is far more reliable than other forms of news..I like it. Right on! (plus she is realy good looking too...wow)
jeep: It's not really a new way to tie shoes, as I've tied my shoes like that for over 30 years...but maybe I can speed up my walk after 40 years of slow motion!
