Joanne! You never cease to entertain and educate!
A comment about the satellites: They do not record the whole area of the earth contiously, but rather sweep over the surface, which means that it’d be pretty impractical to send streaming live data from a certain area.
Also, a somewhat unrelated link: If you want to give them a cake, give them CakePHP (:
Yummy, gimmie some of that MVC!
Kam, have some of this instead! It’s whacky! wacky?

Another thing about live sat. feeds - how can you see through the clouds??? Since most areas are usually covered by clouds, it would be very impractical.
Despite this, and what nitro said, the future is always impressing people. Who knows how they\’ll find a way around it, but i\’m sure they will come up with something….
Brilliant episode. Such wonderful ways to use the internet.
Great episode. Cool demo of the internet
Oh, and a comment not directly related to this episode. You should add some sort of separator between the links in the story links section. Sometimes I click the + sign on the wrong left side of a link by mistake, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
Whats up with robo Joanne?…funny, but scary. :)
In the dessert, you can remember your name.
People who stare straight ahead while making phone calls kinda freak me out.
I note that you still needed to place the cake order by phone. We are living in transitional times.
I picked up a couple of hitchhikers once who were headed to Omaha. They had an address for the Catholic Worker house on a scrap of paper. They needed a place to crash before reporting for jail the next day. They\’d been busted after some peace protest and had to serve 15 days each. They seemed OK with it, probably because they\’d never been locked up before. We said goodbye on a dark street allegedly near the address they wanted at 2 a.m. I have not been back to Omaha since.
I think if you uped Joanne’s clock speed and adjusted the personality algorithms expanding on that wink subroutine the AI construct called Joanne would gain some Hotness!
Way cool episode. They are always watching us. Here in Montreal \’they\’ put up cameras in certain areas to deter drug deals and disperse loitering punks. Now you can find them 30 feet further and around the corner. Great solution.
The avatar voice may give me nightmares though and the wink almost killed me ;) I\’m going to watch Friday\’s show again to get me back to my happy place.
Just what the world needs, more loitering punks!
The term \”punks\” used specifically in reference to the few skinheads left here who have pretty much overrun that particular area. Which in itself is fine except for the squatting, constant destruction of public property, harassing of passing motorists with squeegees etc.
Give them a slurpee….
Joanne sends a cake to Nebraska Hall!?! I had classes in Nebraska Hall, in fact I worked there in the pressroom for three years. How come she didn’t send us cake back then? Oh wait, there was no such thing as a video blog (let alone a blog) back then.
Rats.
Wow.
Just fantastic. Today’s episode was about perfect.
Spying is great, isn’t it?
Can’t wait to see if Dr. Larry responds!
:-)
I’m waving! Can you see me now?
Great episode!
Joanne sounded like a robot.
So scary the lack of privacy.
Did Larry email?
That Larry is so hot!
HaHa!
Sorry, Dr. Larry.
My bad.
Great 7 of 9 imitation and no Borg implants, impressive. Can you send me some cake too!
Speaking of dessert, did you catch this meal on the pigout.com cam?

http://www.loqandkey.com/top100/A%20Day%20In%20The%20Life.mp3
Posh, everyone knows you don\’t have a Les Pavots 2003 with pequillo peppers! They dry the palate and don\’t let you enjoy the interspersed nuances of cedar, tobacco (cigar box), graphite, lavender and sweet vanilla. Perhaps a 1996 would have been a better choice; decanted for a couple of hours prior of course.
And winking at the Queen?! What the Hell was Bush thinking? That got him off her Christmas card list for sure.
“I’ll have the Saddle of spring lamb, shorten the stirrups, medium rare & a side of mink oil please”
And American caviar? Bush is lucky Her Majesty didn’t just toss the tureen at him. Especially after three bottles of wine.
RB is the best!
Great show, great narration, super flow!
Regard
Denis
See Bush insult the Queen.
See Queen give Bush the finger. (In a Royal way, of course)

(call me a pessimist, but I see the web as creating more and more \”ingenious\” ways of creating mayhem)
me gotta go now….
(hmmm, wonder if it was all caught on tape? If so, somebody\’s gonna post it on Youtube))
I got my eye on you. Yes, you!
I saw that!
I always wanted a Big Brother. You’re HOT!
We are so in the 21st century yet alas Jo seems stuck in a bad 1940\’s scfi movie! ;)
I very much enjoyed the animatronic Joanne today, and would like to place an order for one.
Can you really type without looking @ the keyboard?
You could have a second job doing voice overs for the phone company \”The number you have reached is no longer in service, please che……….\”
Hey, I like cake, angel food w/coffee icing, I\’ll be home around 2pm.
later people
I just got the shock of my life, what happened to my sweet Cate?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=453444&in_page_id=1773&ico=Homepage&icl=TabModule&icc=picbox&ct=5
(must everyone I fall in love with turn into a popsicle stick?)
Quick, give Cate some Cake!
I hope she\’s prepping for a part, perhaps as Gollum in the upcoming Hobbit movie.
Or maybe it\’s dysentery from filming Babel.
Or maybe, like so many in Tinsel Town, she\’s just freakin\’ crazy.
She\’s one of the more level-headed hollywood celebs and a dynamite actor to boot, which is why she caught my eye from the moment I first laid eyes on her. There must be a medical reason for this, or else, it\’s pure insanity.
*** I don\’t usually fawn on celebs, but she has been a favorite of mine for a long time…Did anyone see \”Notes on a Scandal\”? Cate was superb.
Actually I just saw it last week on DVD. Didn\’t want to intrude in your \’Cate bubble\’! Good flick - great Cate!
Can you say Stepford wife? Not that that\’s a bad thing, mind you. Things that make you go hmmmm.
Jo must have been inspired by the Queen\’s visit. The diction today was beyond belief perfect.
Nice catch Joanne!
fitter happier more productive

That was genius. That telephone call was the most humourous videoblog item I have consumed today. Poor lady baker- freaky robo-android with english accent orders cake…
What is the fee…? ;) Will rocket-shaped cakes do? Lots of delectables selectable.
http://www.vatsaas.org/rtv/misc/cakes/rocketsoncakes.aspx#Proof
I do hope Doc Larry emails. It would be most ungrateful not to thank you for the cake.
\”I…T…S…rules written on top of it.\”
Did I miss something? Seriously, what\’s up with Robo Joanne?
Joanne, maybe you can interview Real Android Woman or vice versa.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=gD1tjTsBsJc
Joanne, I would like to propose to you but I’m already married to an android woman. :) You seldom fail to make me laugh, think, and breathe deeply. Most awesome work!
Your biggest fan east of the northwestern part of central southern Minnesota,
Cal
Back seat buddy! I’m east of the northwestern part of central southern Minnesota and I was here first!
I recognize the gentleman from the south central centralish region of the south central part of Canada. (Just north of where I am protecting this great land from Canadian invasion forces and meese.) If you were here first then that makes me second. And two is more than one, so . . . ummm If I had a point, I suddenly accidentally forgot it on purpose or something.
Cal
Awesome, awesome robotronic construct of JC (who shares the same initials as Jesus Christ and Jackie Chan). The skin layer and the muscle movements are just amazing. Where can I get one?
And who knew, the Big Brother turns out to be us.
This episode is stacked with positive comments! I hope RB follows up and let’s us know if Dr. Larry responds and appreciates his cake.
The 1 thing that bugs me here is lack of follow up on episodes that just beg for a Part 2. Bre & his cam balloon would be one. Did he ever find it? Did he lose interest? Yes, I could shuffle through the archives, dig up his site etc but the truth is I don’t have the time! You guys have multiple fingers on the pulse of … well, the net. A quick 2 second “Bre found it!”+ an image + URL. Bingo! “Dr. Larry likes 2 layer chocolate cake.” etc.
Just my humble opinion for RB’s consideration. Over & out.
Don\’t like robot-Joanne! Come back, Joanne. Come back.
I thought you might like to see what I was typing during the episode. Here it is:
.ksjdfhvbikuasrfkajsfbkv/uGsh;kvj H’WRO8TQ OTAwd/KMFdvZ
Something somewhere out there speaks this language. I hope they’re watching.
That’s hot Joanne! Especially the “kv”!
If you do a Fourier Transform on that, then convert it to hexadecimal number, it comes out to 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0 ! Someone has downloaded that number into your subroutine, Joanne of RB, maybe for remote retrieval later. No one from HD DVD Consortium police will ever try to look there.
It seems like someone somewhere someplace out there is indeed watching because they edited my message.
hello?
are you there?
hello?
can you hear me?
Harigato!
i like this one. funny good.
People living in Nebraska should go to that dessert place and say they saw it on Rocketboom.
Fantastic! The return of Rocketboom!
It would be great if you saw them receiving/eating the cake on their webcam!
