Today is a special episode of Better Late Than Never.  I'm mirroring the segment I did with Leann Mabry that is on Tag In the Seam this week.  This is because I spent last week in Atlanta, and still haven't managed to catch up with everything.

But!  You won't have to wait two weeks for a new episode.  Episode 15 will be released next Wednesday, and will feature a media review of the movie Stardust.  As well the normal feedback section, and a short overview of my vacation.

So, enjoy, and I'll see you next week!

And I've asked a question - What do you prefer to do first - watch the movie or read the book?  I'm mixed on the subject.  Let me know what you think about this and the show by either leaving a comment here at the website, or by sending me an e-mail at mainthepa@gmail.com or by calling the voice mail number at 206-338-3942.

Of course, the intro and outro music is by Peanut Butter and Julie.  Look for them on CD Baby and on Itunes.

Hello everyone and welcome to Number 14!  Today, Doug Rapson of Geek Acres joins me, and we talk about Top Gun, which played a big part in my life as a teenager.  I also talk about my latest gear for my Macbook, and the dimensional rifts in my apartment.  Oh the wonder!

And I'm a finalist for a Parsec Award in the Best Reality Podcast category.  Look at MA being completely amazed, because I'm in some pretty illustrious company.

Hi Everyone,

We have a longer show for you today, primarily because my friend and I are talking about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  Yes, there are spoilers, so the listener beware.  However, I put the review at the very end of the podcast, so you can still listen to everything else before turning it off.  Other than that - it's a basic episode, monologue at the beginning, feedback section, and then the review.

Here are some of the things I mentioned today...

Podholes (Thanks again Mike and Steve!)
Sennheiser HD280 Pro Headphones
Lean Mabry from Tag In the Seam
A.I. on Wikipedia

Promo:  This Day in Alternate History

Music at the end of the monologue was courtesy of Jack Mangan, thanks so much Jack!

As always you can read about my goings on at Twitter or on my Live Journal.  If you would like to leave me a voice mail, please call (206)338-3942.  You can also send MP3 comments or email to mainthepa@gmail.com

The intro and outro music is by Peanut Butter and Julie, and look for them on Itunes.

Hi Everyone,

Looking at the clock, there is no chance I will have the episode up on time.  I need to figure out how to reencode my file.  It's a whole getting used to the new programs under the Mac to do what Audacity did on my PC.

So, I'm very sorry - I will work on it tomorrow at some point.

And now I'm going to rant.  I like Garageband very much.  But it won't record at the bitrate that I want it to.  And I then need to go and encode an mp3 file in Itunes.  And while I'm ranting - Itunes for the Mac seems to think I'm not to be trusted to change certain attributes on the tags.  This makes me annoyed.  Because I may not understand the ins and outs of RSS, just enough to be dangerous, but not enough to do it on my own.  So, I'm still muddling through issues on my Mac, which I still love.

And Tony Mast rocks - he has a little message for you.  Thanks everyone.  The episode will be up as soon as I can get it up.  And in the meantime - go visit Tony at his various podcasts....

Fanboy Smackdown
Sci-Fi Smackdown
Tony's Losing It

The episode will be up in the next couple of days....
