The Thirteen Greatest Error Messages of All Time

#1 will come as no surprise to anyone but the others are a nice trip down memory lane. The “lp0 is on fire” is something I’d like to see in the wild one day.

Audio Tour – Blue Sky Green Field Wind Project

Join me as I take my Zoom H2 on its inaugural audio tour to WE Energies project in northeast Fond du Lac county in Wisconsin to see one of the massive Wind Generators up close.

Kreg also found this video of part of the project. If you listen closely, you can hear one of the wind generators nearby the cameraman (hint: listen for the sound of a jet plane going by every second or so.)

Special thanks to Barry McNaulty, and Pat Kiley from WE Energies and Michael Vickerman from Renew Wisconsin for their cooperation.

CCT: What's Up with Dragon Con

Hey everyone..Kreg here…I didn’t visit Dragon Con this year, and truth be told I never have. (You can remove 1 Geek Point from my stats) I haven’t visited any Cons except for the Podcast Expo which is admittedly quite different in focus than Dragon Con.

BUT…through the magic of social networking and podcasting I asked some friends to share with me their experience from this years Dragon Con to do a little field research, if you will, if this would be a better fit for me to visit next year.

A Picture is Worth

Art made from books

What was that expression? A picture si worth a thousand words… but then I found this pic which is a pic made of (a little less than) a thousand words. Now this is a sculpture made of a hundred thousand words, so that makes it worth… ???

Star Trek is 42 years today!

It is fitting that we finish our Star Trek: The Experience Audio tour today as Star Trek turns 42. I was looking down the article on TrekMovie.com and saw several videos that they have posted at YouTube. One that I thought was particularly interesting was Leonard Nimoy doing an interview about Star Trek in Full Makeup! What was strange it looked like Spock talking about getting his start into acting and growing up in Boston.

Happy Birthday Star Trek!

It was 42 years ago today
