"Always choose the lesser of two weevils!"
Yikes, pn ... I'm taking out the trash right now. You can't be too careful. LOL
last night as i was taking out the trash, i was horrified to find it crawling with flies. really, there were maybe only five or six, but it was certainly a concentration. the real horror was what i knew was underneath all the refuse: a squirming nest of maggots gathered around some week-old sausage. as i lifted the bag, i was relieved to find no leakage and i quickly disposed of it in the dumpster outside. not helping my nerves, there was a raccoon digging in there at the same time. i threw the bag into the dark, returned home and went to sleep.

when i woke up this morning, i remembered the dream i had just experienced. in absolutely concrete terms, what i saw in my dream was a very small (about 5 inches across) canyon with intricate rock formations. Lodged between the walls, well above the bottom of the canyon was a burning bus. how this connects to the night before was that the tiny canyon's ledge was contiguous with the edges of my wastebasket.

so, somehow, the disgust i felt at the maggots i had allowed to grow there manifested themselves in my dream as a burning bus lodged between a canyon.
Any excuse to keep using our podcast's awesome intro.
not to mention how much fun it would be
Word. I'd certainly be interested in taking shameless advantage of your youthful enthusiasm.
the reason i'm saying this is because i'm moving to la in six months, will be graduating out there in feb, and i finally care little enough about my coursework to pursue more interesting and practical endeavors (ie: this).

that could certainly be a part of it. could vote for the featured monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly member or just have the hosts pick one so it's not always a popularity contest.
I would, in all sincerity, welcome any of those ideas and anyone who'd like to volunteer to help out. I'd love to do it more often.
i listen to a few podcasts that we could emulate - at least partially - pretty easily and they do not at all depend upon industry events to put out great content. not to mention they do it weekly. i'll brainstorm a little bit and PM you about it. i think there's a few people here, myself included, whose careers in the industry could benefit from putting out some quality podcast content. could drive a lot of traffic here, too, giving you the necessary kick in the bum to finally get all these database errors sorted out
