Linking to Nacho? Jeez, you might as just link to freaking JeremyBGG!

All is lost. We're going to end up living in a walled garden where all of our content comes only from each other.

OUR content? when are you going to get in this game, df?

I had a blog once, remember? It didn't turn out so great.

Anyway, I'd have to pay for a better hosting company than I have now. My current hosting company is free, so that's going to be hard to beat.

I still think one of you should just set up a multi-party blog and that way we could avoid this whole mess.

What do you mean it didn't turn out great? You were (in)famous in a local community of at least 5000 people!

I could easily make crazymonk.org multi-party. I can just give you accounts, and you'd have full access.

Ha, rumorsdaily had its moments.

"I could easily make crazymonk.org multi-party"

Eh, but doesn't that destroy the thing you've got going?

for now. but if i get a full-time job, i'd be open to it.

hey, i would never have seen stephen hawking if it weren't for BRD.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN YOU DIE, WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN YOU DIE, WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN YOU DIE...

?

oh jeez, i forgot about that. that made my week back then. it made me lol right now. i'm rofling.

explain.

During Stephen Hawking's Q&A there was another guy in a wheelchair in the back of the auditorium who had the same sort of text-to-speech system as Hawking. At one point he somehow indicated that he wanted to ask a question and the phrase "What happens to you when you die" or something similar blared out of his speakers on a loud, fast loop. It was a combination of hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Hillarifying?

I was there, but I don't remember hearing that. I was too busy asking my own question, and remembering the jumbodung interview.

DF has spoken true words. In addition to the hillarifying effect, there may have been a bit of surprise and realization in the air as the whole auditorium is trying to figure out why there's a Stephen Hawking doppleganger speech synthesizer in the back of the room.

was there anything interesting in the jumbodung interview? what question did you ask? i forget the more important parts of the speech, but i sure won't forget the kid.

you know, the jumbodung interview used to be accessible via archive.org, but no longer is.

i asked something like: "in your book a brief history of time, which you wrote 20 years ago, you wrote that you believed that the Grand Universal Theory would be discovered within twenty years. what do you think of that now?"

he sat there for about 3 or 4 minutes, and then vocoded: "i still believe it, but the twenty years begins... now."

that was a good one, i remember that one.
also, good use of the word "vocoded"
