CHAPTER V. APPLICATIONS. "The principles asserted in these pages must be more generally admitted as the basis for discussion of details, before a consistent application of them to all the various departments of government and morals can be attempted with any prospect of advantage. The few observations I propose to make on questions of detail, are designed to illustrate the principles, rather than to follow them out to their consequences."

Followup to Episode 126. Now we know what Second Life is, what is it you do there? Just about anything and everything, I suppose. Second Life as Social Media. Second Life as a virtual world and "actual" place, where you don't spend time killing people or critters for gold. Mostly. Oh, it turns out Chris Kirby has a brand new album, "Wonderizer." I just got my MP3 copy from Amazon (and then Chris wanted to send me one, oh well...) and I look forward to listening to it. Might be getting a signed CD for a later giveaway, we're talkin'. ;) Show Theme "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech.com Comments to 218-214-CALL (218-234-2255) Contributions: https://www.paypal.me/grizzlysgrowls

Leo LaPorte said on "This Week in Tech" that he abandoned Second Life because "it's all about sex." Made my jaw drop to the floor. After I picked it up, this is what I wanted to tell you about Second Life, what it's not "all about," and what it is, at least from my viewpoint. Used a tune called "Day Job" from Chris Kirby's album "Vampire Hotel" on the show. Back when I interviewed him on The IDSL he said I could use his music on my show. He may even vaguely remember who I am. I encourage you to buy and check out the rest of the album, too -- I think the title tune from "Vampire Hotel" reminds me of almost all the clubs in Second Life where I've DJed late into the night. Except of course we take vampires a lot more seriously in Second Life. ;-) Oh, it turns out Chris Kirby has a brand new album, "Wonderizer."

Chapter 3 - OF THE LIBERTY OF THOUGHT AND DISCUSSION. Part 2 of 2 "Having said that Individuality is the same thing with development, and that it is only the cultivation of individuality which produces, or can produce, well-developed human beings, I might here close the argument: for what more or better can be said of any condition of human affairs, than that it brings human beings themselves nearer to the best thing they can be? or what worse can be said of any obstruction to good, than that it prevents this?"

Yes, this is my 125 episode, and as of tomorrow it'll be four years since I started. Yay. :) A GOOD DAY!. I got a call for a short Temp assignment, which happens to be working for a temp agency that's working for another company that's working for our Public Radio folks. Only three degrees of separation. Wow. Sure will be nice to be working again. Oh, and I found my lanyard for my glasses. And you should care because.... ? Started recording from practice scripts I found at the Edge Studios website. Recorded 35, and put a couple in this podcast. What do you think? Talked about doing a demo disk, if I can make up my mind what should be on there. Eventually I'll get it. 1-800-COLLECT Demo I've always started with seriously Entry Level jobs, with not much in the way of qualifications. Broadcasting and voiceover requires coming in the door with talent and skills. Maybe I have them, but I find it hard to ask for that sort of job. Very new to me. 1-800-OK-CABLE Demo Four years. Wow. New Group Quest Intro & Outro I could do one for you, too, ya know. Just sayin'. Call me. Did a few other folks, too. Here are a couple examples: The Rejoiner I didn't do for "Evo@11." :) Rejoiner for Annie and the Awkward Cakeman on B.T.R. Rejoiner for Boise and Beyond podcast Piteous whining.

"Eugenics and Other Evils," by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1922. Chapter 8 -- The End of the Household Gods: "The only place where it is possible to find an echo of the mind of the English masses is either in conversation or in comic songs. The latter are obviously the more dubious; but they are the only things recorded and quotable that come anywhere near it." Chapter 9 -- A Short Chapter: "Round about the year 1913 Eugenics was turned from a fad to a fashion. Then, if I may so summarise the situation, the joke began in earnest. The organising mind which we have seen considering the problem of slum population, the popular material and the possibility of protests, felt that the time had come to open the campaign. ... But as a matter of fact this is not the first chapter but the last. And this must be a very short chapter, because the whole of this story was cut short. A very curious thing happened. England went to war. This would in itself have been a sufficiently irritating interruption in the early life of Eugenette, and in the early establishment of Eugenics. But a far more dreadful and disconcerting fact must be noted. With whom, alas, did England go to war? England went to war with the Superman in his native home."

UPDATE: Just struck me, how will I know if this is helping? Drop Terry a note if you buy, maybe? ORIGINAL POST: I recently received a special episode of Terry Fallis' podcast of "The High Road." Hope you've already been listening, but if you haven't, it's attached here. The gist of it is this: "...So while I have always preached that social media is not really an appropriate platform for hardcore selling, I’m going to cross the line this once, but I think all for a good cause. If you want to have a hand in reshaping the approach traditional publishers like McClelland & Stewart have historically adopted, please take a second to buy The High Road. Here are Amazon and Indigo links, and you’ll also find links in the left hand side bar. If we can show that the podcast helped to drive early sales, M&S will be more likely to consider podasting to be an effective way to promote new titles. As always, thanks for all the support. The High Road hits bookstores today (September 7th), so now is the perfect time to place that order. Besides, the holiday season is just around the corner. Thank you all, I’m grateful…" I'm still unemployed -- but yeah, I'm thinking... Griz

"Eugenics and Other Evils," by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1922.

"Eugenics and Other Evils," by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1922. Narrator's Introduction: For the next few paragraphs I will speak for myself, to set the stage for G.K. Chesterton's book, and to suggest why I believe it is still an important book. I think G.K. Chesterton explains his book rather well in his introduction, but it might help to start with a sense of the time in question. Chesterton started work on Eugenics and Other Evils in about 1910, but it was not completed and published until 1922. In his own introduction he talks about the period before and after "The War." The war he refers to is now called World War One. We now have a distaste for the word Eugenics, largely driven by events in World War Two. But at the time this book was published, Eugenics was lauded to the skies as a wonderful idea, and Chesterton was nearly the only person saying in writing that Eugenics was in fact evil. A case could be made, and has been made, that today, though the word Eugenics is avoided, some practices that are in fact Eugenic practices, and some sciences that are in fact Eugenic sciences, enjoy great popularity and engender great public enthusiasm. To which practices and which sciences I refer, is left as an exercise for the reader. To the Reader: "...It was a time when this theme was the topic of the hour; when eugenic babies (not visibly very distinguishable from other babies) sprawled all over the illustrated papers; when the evolutionary fancy of Nietzsche was the new cry among the intellectuals; and when Mr. Bernard Shaw and others were considering the idea that to breed a man like a cart-horse was the true way to attain that higher civilisation, of intellectual magnanimity and sympathetic insight, which may be found in cart-horses...." Part 1 -- The False Theory Chapter One: "The wisest thing in the world is to cry out before you are hurt. It is no good to cry out after you are hurt; especially after you are mortally hurt."

I got together with Kimi Alexandre of the "Tale Chasing" podcast and the Guardians podcast-novel to talk about her new career, as a voice actor and voiceover artist. I'd come up with a title for a new podcast specific about voice careers and the voice acting industry: "We Should Talk." And well, that was pretty much all I had. So we kind of riffed off each other and explored what we would talk about if we did manage to do "We Should Talk" as a Podcast. I now have http://weshouldtalkpodcast.com registered, by the way.
