So glad to see you posting immediately in the morning… such a great way to start one’s day! Now that’s what I call… GOOD NEWS :-)
Joanne, try it, you\’ll like it. (but take off the headset first, you might get electro-you-know-watt)

Yes! This is physics at its finest!
Only a day or two away from having YouTube embeds allowed in comments :) [look out B-Man!]
What!!! Why?

Justice reversing injustice?
Nice mix. (Audio was a bit hot though.)
I note that the robot-rights dude got arrested back in April. Any resolution yet? Looks like he just blogged it recently and is seeking donations. Maybe he\’s got a court date coming up?
Next time he should bring that neogentronyx bot with him.
Sadly, small-town cops get a lot of automatic cred from small-town judges. Even campus cops, who are notoriously under-trained and inexperienced dealing with actual conflict (google \”UCLA\” and \”taser\”) are typically presumed to be telling the absolute truth. Those presumptions have cost me a few nights here and there in the Graybar Hotel, actually.
Swimming upstream against all of that can seem futile. In truth, that\’s the idea. They want to make it easier for you to pay the $300 fine, get your record wiped and just keep saluting as you leave the courtroom. The cop, meanwhile, already got what he wanted. Ah, justice.
Oh, and what a nice diverse mix of folks attended the Governor\’s Island bash. Looks like they attracted goofy white folks from the east AND west sides.
Joanne as dominant Fem… Yarr (and a little scary)
And wasn\’t Tesla experimenting with wireless transmission of electricity like 100 years ago. We are just starting to catch up to that dude.
You got that right bud. Tesla did that and a whole lot more. Tesla was king till they buried him and stole all his notes.

Every time a balloon pops, a blogger gets his wings!!
If a balloon pops & nobody\’s there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Does the governor live on the island? I think it should be called Liberty Island or Statueville.
later people
Nobody goes to Governor’s Island anymore. It’s too crowded.

Crisis in L.A. What the heck are we coming to?
Balloon blogger should set up another one so Joanne can try again; this time we\’ll all be watching - and blogging!
Poor paparazzi, maybe now they can get a real job.
What a bunch of dorkaraazzis!!!
Howdy, B-man!
Great response. Your reply is up:

It was such an honor, really! I’d like to thank Drew, Joanne, The Three Stooges and all the other members of the Rocketboom Academy without whose inspiration I could never have had my 15 seconds of fame. And thank you Rob & Will for your gracious invitation.
Dude! You are famous! Now give me your address so I can send you a $20 web cam to allow you to join the vlog big leagues!
$20 web cam??
Did you find it inside one of these?
What? They give away webcams too?!?! That\’s where I got my laptop.
Hmmm… now which YouTube clip can I embed with this?!
re: Baron von Drew\’s comment above; even if embedding will be allowed, your still the king of digging up the pertinent and good ones!
And good luck settling on a new font.
Great show! I really needed that this afternoon. Keep up the sports segments! Don\’t forget you need to recruit a \”color commentator\” as well. The play by play was v.good but we needed some background about what university the balloon came from, where the balloon fell in the draft, initial, and final volume, how its contract negotiations are coming, and of course, now that it has popped, what its next career move will be? Would a deflated balloon try and coach?
I\’ll be the color commentator!

Youtube embeds. OK.
This norad continues to evolve. Always an interesting mix on here. Sometimes it’s about the show, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s spammers who want a whole screen to themselves, the assholes.
I feel like we get off the topic of the show too fast sometimes. But then, I wrote a hangover recipe once, only because the ep mentioned menudo, so I’m not one to talk. (And I got kam’s island-style recipe out of the exchange.)
And I do applaud everyone for picking up the 400-pixel limit as they did. Bravo on Mike for linking to big versions of the mashups, the non-looping ones anyway. That’s the ticket, let me buzz through the content and zoom in when it’s worth it, which those RB mashups surely are.
Have fun with the pix. Link to good video. I probably will too. But I prefer words. Really I do. That simple line code on the page, a message, an idea that unfollds in your mind as you read without need for format or embellishment — sorry CSS fans. A memory conjured up, a New York beach in winter perhaps, 22 degrees and a stiff wind blowing straight off the water that makes you glad for your wool hat, and for that big styrofoam cup of chai, deceptive with its almost-cool exterior as you walk from the restaurant back down to the water, continuing your trek down the beach from the point some ways back where you first crossed under the boardwalk and said hello to the sea once again. To be near the waves, to taste the salt on the wind smacking you steadily in the face, to wonder how the gulls and sandpipers endure it, to turn your back to the wind and sip your chai, as hot as you knew it would be, and know it tastes better than any beverage ever has. Words. Pictures are cool. Words are magic. Use both.
forgive me, \”norad\” should be \”board.\” It worked in preview!
