Hello RB,
Why the feed isn’t working today? I try again later!
Regards,
Denis
Which feed are you using? We’ll fix it up ASAP
Joanne… is there any limit to your talent :-)
Good show!!!
Hello Joanne,
Well, what could I say, other than: Nice one! and: Keep it up!
Cheers,
Adam
Long-time viewer, first time poster. (I watch Rocketboom on the train to work via podcast, so I usually forget to comment ;). Just wanted to share my appreciation via a comment!
Best show on TV or the net!
I purchased In Rainbows for $7. I find it interesting that I gladly paid for an album download for the first time, but I tend not to donate to content creators I appreciate that are in a medium which is traditionally expected to be “free”. IE, I would gladly pay for an album, but the cultural conditioning of episodic video content via TV being “free” makes it difficult to transition into a pay model for online distribution.
That said, I would gladly donate to Rocketboom.
“Hitler iSketch” is a derivative of “Hitler gets banned from Xbox Live”:

…both from the movie “The Downfall”, which is also brilliant
words
yes; words.
More words.
Great episode, really! It\’s pity more people haven\’t commented. Joanne asked you people!
PS:El patito feo es muy guapo!
lol this is strange:

Wow Joanne. Have you too seen that opening sequence from the movie \”Contact\” where the viewpoint (and associated garbled sounds of a multitude of broadcasted media) rapidly zooms out from Earth into deep space…? Sure enough, the last thing I remember hearing is the bleeple - blurp - bleeple of ancient Morse code… Maybe when humans figure out how to travel faster than light then we can zoom (or zip?) out there and tell all the friendly aliens that all that World War stuff is so in the past (hopefully). On a close but unrelated note I read once in a sci-fi novel that if we could get out from Earth far enough quickly enough (faster than light) and then build a really really big telescope really really quickly then we could look back at Earth and see stuff from the past because the reflected light from those past events would just be reaching us. Cool huh? So - (pauses for breath) - how about Morse code as a topic for RocketBoom? Surely there must be people (probably close friends with those Blind Rubik Cubers) who can converse in verbal-Morse? Dash-dot-dot-dot, Dash-dot-dash-dash, Dot. :-)
\”Contact\” also points out that some of the earliest video images bouncing through the universe are of… Adolph Hitler.
I liked the suggestion of spinning backwards.
I still watch you every day, Rocketboom, but rarely comment. My favorite episodes are always the ones where you jump around the web with different interesting/odd things, and Ruud\’s stories from Africa.
Hello Rocketboom. My donation of words. I (h) your show and watch it everyday.
Thanks
Snake
(get it?)
Only those who know how eloquent you are with WORDS would get the joke you leave none. I lol, funny!
I paid zero dollars for the radiohead download too.
I don\’t think I hurt their bottom line too badly. They\’ll survive. Clearly they are smart as hell and ahead of the curve. It ain\’t about making money the old-fashioned way any more. Getting your name out there and getting people to add to your buzz is worth a lot more than a few bucks here and there for a round hunk of plastic. They bought themselves a zillion dollars worth of free ads with the pay-what-you-feel scenario. If I was a record company executive I\’d be scared to death.

oh sorry, wrong guy….
Quack, quack,
Ah yes, the great ocean of truth lay before you, undiscovered….I discovered box jellyfish this morning in that great ocean, ouch!

Yeah, wrong guy, the poor dude woulda been all burnt up by the time his assistant got to him if he\’s been tapping a code key!

Donation In Words
ROCK ON RADIOHEAD!
I hope the financials are going to be good enough for public release. It would really help contracted musicians who are considering such a move at the end or their contracts.
HITLER:
I love watching Hitler loose dramatically; very satisfying.
However, lest we become hypocrites, let us remember that Hitler was not a particle event but a wave form. Man’s inhumanity and the resulting culture of class, degradation and arrogance had been in place, even in the cultural and intellectual nexus of Berlin, for millennia and and still are, searching for the next vessel of hate and resentment to sweep to the forefront. Furthermore the particular episode which setup the social/familial environment of Hitler’s creation, WWI, was anything but a “good war.” It was a heartless political conniving of the highest order. Arguably, WWII couldn’t have happened without WWI.
More fitting, grieve for Hitler as well as his victims, as a human overcome with hate, maybe before he ever had a chance.
“Punish the sin, not the sinner.” Hate is easy. It was Hitler’s steed. Understanding is painful. It inevitably requires sacrifice. But we must all sacrifice in the end. So we mind as well get now what we will pay for.
INNER BEAUTY: What a profoundly eloquent and revealing double negative!
A LITTLE GIRL CONTEMPLATING THE OCEAN is truly divine. Adults should never forgot eternity/infinity. One could wander astray and find justifiable reasons to hate. But Oceans become defined as we go to school. To remember the divine Universe, look up from the countryside away from lights on a clear night and behold infinity/eternity swirling above where we so infrequently look and so less frequently perceive.
And visit the NASA Astronomy Picture of The Day regularly.
And don’t believe the scientific definition of the Universe as finite, or don’t use it.

I do suggest that people watch \”Downfall\” sometime. I can\’t see how you could watch that movie and feel the least sympathy for Hitler and those who offed themselves around him. It\’s drama, true, but I think it validly depicts those truly evil people, unredeemable at the core.
Words? No, no, no! I must iSketch!
Except for this: Lovely, lovely show.
Go behind the wall for a better peak: HALT!
flashing pumpkin cracks me up!
RB’s beauty comes in many forms: you yank our chains with episodes from Israel with no context, you test commercial advertising options for your model/you give us field reports which some like, others don’t/you give us freestyle fridays/you give us the occasional interview/ you give us Joanne being Joanne in a quirky NYC context.
But amid all the experimentation, there is one continuous hope, and that is seeing episodes like today, where the creative writing, the choice of segments, and the same inventiveness that went into the rewriting of Nazi history come together in a beautiful, moving visual poem. Thank you Joanne. Thank you RB.
My word donation.
My word is \”Delicious\”.
Ha!
nice work as usual, guys!
Hello RB,
Probably the timing, working now as usual!
My word \”adorable\” in French or in English it is up to you.
Regards,
Denis
Esta siempre un placer escuchar usted hablando otra idioma.
Even if it took some time for me to switch from english to spanish.
Merci.
I thought your Spanish accent was very, er, French.
hi leron if i am a french mother tongue, i can speak some english, spanish and a slice of brazilian portuguese
Here\’s my two cent, twopence in commentos del donacion. And a thumb up for the trumpet soloist.
So Sir Isaac Newton reflects, \”Life\’s a beach\”, then somehow reincarnates as an Internet goddess. Very nice!
Bueno, ¡Viva, Joannita!, y, ¡Ojo por manzanas que caerán!
It\’s always a treat to encounter the unexpected and the well done!
Thanks…
Hey! Nice to see all the new people come out of the web and leave their words today. \’nough said.
Hi rocketboom,
\’Delightful\’ be my word donation. I have yet to see an episode to which it does not apply to. I strongly suspect that will not happen. And manifold they are, the delights brought by rocketboom. The programme is intelligent, imaginative, poetic at times and always both inspired and inspiring.
Thank you rocketboom for rocketboom!
Great segue to the really bad trumpet player! Your creativity is without match.
Hi Joanne & RB!
I love Joanne, and I love the show too.
I don\’t seem to have a lot of words at the moment;
I just wanted to express my appreciation. Thanks!
amazing show, Joanne. Keep up the good work c^^,
