We want a podsafe Christmas song
We want a song that's safe to play
Don't think us rude, we don't want to get sued
By the thugs at the RIAA
We want a podsafe Christmas song
Santa don't delay
Give us a podsafe Christmas song to celebrate Christmas day.

Tivo To Add Podcasts

Check out this screenshot:



It's the beta version for the next level menu for TV. Apparently, they are tying in with online content. I'm pretty unsure what kind of impact this should have on the podcasting world, but it's a pretty cool step to say the least. Check out more exclusive photos and the story here.

Notes to Netflix

Ah, like I need another distraction. Here is a group n Flickr called "Notes To Netflix." Great little experiment. I will jotting some notes off to my favorite online DVD ordering service very soon.

Not To Beat A Dead Horse...

But here is a great discussion from the Flickr forums about being NIPSEY'd (or NIPSA'd as the term is becoming known as). Check it out here. Who know some hoboes could cause so much controversy?

I braved a winter storm to go get John Hodgman's book "Areas Of My Expertise". This can only mean one thing...More Hobo Drawings!

I guess this is what is considered a "loophole".

Hoboes Bum Rushed from 700 Hoboes Project.

There seems to be some controversy brewing around the 700 Hoboes project.



Apparently, a few illustrations have been either banned or removed from the Flickr set. This includes all of my drawings, but most notably, all of the wonderful drawings by illustrator Ape Lad were removed from the Flickr set. This comes on the heels of a Boing Boing story from earlier in the week that the 700 hoboes project had reached 100 drawings. Not only that, but Ape Lad's drawings were being used to illustrate the stories on BB and on Drawn! Talk about a slap in the face.

Now, I understand that the original call to action by Boing Boing was for 700 different illustrators to draw one hobo each. But come on now. Would it really be a terrible thing to see more than one version of the same hobo? Would it be awful for one illustrator to draw more than one hobo? Would the world be worse off if there were two or possibly three versions of Crane T. Eyebrow Smeller? I think not. In fact, I think it would be rather cool to see different interpretations. IMHO, it makes the set better and more interesting than it already is.

So I think I'll try drawing one more and see if shows up in the set. I've been promised by the Flickr staff that my drawings are again public. In any event, Ape Lad has started his own group to showcase all of his phenomenal hobo drawings. And some other artists are joining this renegade "bum group" as well. As fas as I know, this is the only place where you can see the missing Hobo drawings.

Check out the group here. And in the spirit of the holiday, let's give thanks that you can still see the drawings on the net. For now.

UPDATE: Looks like BB has taken notice of this travesty as well.

UPDATE #2: Here's a clever one -- take a photo of your hobo and upload it to Flckr! Brilliant!

UPDATE #3: We encourage everyone interested in contributing to the 700 Hoboes Project join the Flickr 700 Hoboes Group. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about the other hobo illustrations that aren't NIPSAed on Flickr. But with any luck, this project will go on much longer than the original 700 expectation.

Al Roker Says Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. There has been a bit of controversy with the 700 Hoboes project. Apparently, I can't have a Flickr set of just illustrations. So a few cartoonists, myself included, were banned (temporarily) from the project. Anyway, I've started uploading some photos to my Flickr account and this is one of them. My meeting with a wax Al Roker last Feburary in Vegas.

Jawbone #84:The Return of Rocketboom

Nora is off tonight, so I handle the big interview with Amanda Congdon and Andrew Baron from Rocketboom. Amanda was one the first guests on Jawbone "way back when". I owe a lot to Rocketboom, and it's always a pleasure to have them on the show. Also, you'll hear a mini-round up with my fellow panelists at the PSRA Student Day this past week, including Mike from Playaway. Listen in now!

Man, it's a sad sad day in TV Land. Arrested Development has been cancelled. Read the report.

I'd buy a video iPod if new eps were given to the Apple iTunes Store, dagnabit.

Who Wants A Jawbone Radio Podcast Action Figure?

I nearly fell off my chair when I read this. Looks like I'm going to be an action figure.



"EUGENE, OR (T100 NEWS): Former MTV video jockey and "father" of Podcasting, Adam Curry is poised to release a line of action figures based on the many of the hosts of today's hot phenomenon called Podcasting. The figures, to be relased by toy giant Hasbro, are small representations of some of the hottest Podcast shows including "The Dawn and Drew Show," "Jawbone Radio," and even Curry's own show called "The Daily Source Code."

Other characters such as the "Dawn and Drew" figures have props that go along with the figures, such as a replica of the farmhouse they broadcast from with real working farm animals. There's even a small computer inside the farmhouse that they would use to record the shows in real life. The Jawbone Radio character is wearing a small T-shirt with artwork from the real host and artist of the show, Len."

Wow! What an honor. :)

Thanks to Mr. X for the heads up!

More Schnappi!

A New Project for Extra Life

My buddy, Scott Johnson from EL Radio is out of town til tomorrow. But I couldn't resist posting this. It's a drawing of what could become a series of portraits of Extra Life Listeners. Now, I know these guys have a sense of humor (hopefully) and can see that this is all done in good fun. But I got the idea from listening to one of his previous shows with a video game player who hated pretty much every video game out there. Anyway, if these take off, I'll probably do more. Enjoy!

New Poll Now. New Show Tonight.

My voice went out last night, so no show. But we are planning on having the show happen tonight. BTW, a new minipoll has been added to the sidebar. Feel free to vote!

Jawbone Produces Winning Podcasts

RadioTail Offers Ads in Podcasts...

...and surprisingly, it doesn't sound too bad. I wasn't at the expo this past weekend, but apparently these guys were. Anyone who went please fill me in with what these guys are all about. I was pretty impressed that they made this goofy site called Sell Out Big Time, poking fun of ads in podcasts. Upload your show and have parody ads placed in. Cool idea. Gets a thumbs up in my book.

I might be willing to give this a whirl.
