Last week was Jen’s birthday. We baked her a gluten-free birthday cake and went on a trip to Solvang. Listen now and hear all of the fun details!

Item 44 – Flickr Song
Sunday, February 26th, 2012Jen likes to make things when she’s not feeling well. She woke up today with a terrible case of the allergies. Since she couldn’t sleep, she decided to make a video to help take her mind off of her sinus-induced suffering. Hence, this video set to Jonathon Coulton’s “Flickr Song.”
All of the photos in the video have been used under Creative Commons. Even so, Jen compiled a complete list of the photos she used because I guess she likes giving people credit.

Item 29 – Under the wire
Sunday, July 31st, 2011
We made this month’s podcast just under the wire. TV! Allergies! Music/podcasting projects! These are some of the fun things we discussed while recording this. Also, thanks to Nathan for making a donation last month.
Sites we mentioned towards the end:

Item 19 – Knee deep in Skype Lady
Sunday, January 9th, 2011
If a live show happens and no one hears it, did it really happen? Thanks to podcasting – yes! We started this show off by talking about our good friend the Skype Lady. That lead in to a story about our trip to the local Apple Store where Jen gobsmacked the Apple Guy with a “software” question. Calling back to GeminiDragon 18, we placed a call to the “university program” that will hopefully get us masters degrees in three weeks. Jen read a story about a ludicrous Norwegian workplace policy that’s been implemented to make women more productive during that time of the month. Next, we made another callback to our last show in the form of this amazing song:
Mercifully, we moved from the song to a Yahoo! Answers question that received a universe-bending answer (with a reference to GeminiDragon 1). Then it was time for a cool song by The D-Matics. We finished out the program with a list of wacky pet names.

Item 14 – More than multiple
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010
A continuation of sorts to GeminiDragon 13. We were still live, for better or worse (probably worse). Despite a valiant attempt to reboot the situation, technical issues continued. Thankfully, Colin called us on the Skypes to help out. Colin had just recently learned of GeminiDragon, and had some thoughts to share on topics from previous presentations. Some interesting observations on Insane Clown Posse’s “Miracles,” thanks to this article. Also, this Tom Green video:

Item 12 – It’s a microwave!
Sunday, October 10th, 2010
We celebrated 10/10/10 the only way we know how. With a GeminiDragon live presentation. We gave ourselves some retroactive horn action. Then we talked about our new microwave. We read a story about a dude in Florida who has the same name as singer Justin Bieber. After that we found out why the place where we live is (apparently) the happiest place in America. Next, we played an important public service announcement:

Item eleventeen – Retromantic
Friday, October 1st, 2010
We were once again live for GeminiDragon eleventeen. We started things off by congratulating ourselves for continuing to stick to our production schedule. I talked about how I had discovered that former MTV headbanger Riki Rachtman is on Twitter. Apparently, he’s lost a parrot, which sparked a discussion about lost pets. Specifically, lost-pet fliers. I shared an idea for a new business venture that would probably be the most successful thing ever. Then, we examined a story about a heroic dog who saved its owner by eating the owner’s toe. We wondered if the Beach Boys may indeed take Katy Perry to court. The people at your local porn studio would like you to stop illegally downloading their product:
In what might be history’s greatest segue, we talked about how romantic music might help you to get more dates. I compared Debbie Does Dallas to Citizen Kane in terms of historical importance. Apparently, Kim Kardashian doesn’t want her fans to look like her. Then we played a song

Item 10 – The authentic Likes
Sunday, September 26th, 2010
GeminiDragon 10 was live a couple days ago. I needed a cough drop, so I got one. Meanwhile, Jen “entertained” y’all by narrating the whole thing. Jen read a comment that David left in response to GeminiDragon 9. Then we discussed how the corn syrup industry would like to rename its product. We celebrated the arrival of the vuvuzela in the Oxford dictionary. Apparently, the Danes weren’t very happy with Whitney Houston this summer. You decide:
Some amusement-park thingie run by Coca-Cola connected its customers directly to Facebook via it’s “Like Machine.” Jen thinks this is lame. I just want to get to the authentic Likes. We heard my favorite song

Item 9 – All kinds of FAIL
Monday, September 20th, 2010
GeminiDragon 9 was live on uStream yesterday. We started off this audio presentation with an on-air production meeting where we tried to nail down a specific window of time wherein we will “summons the dragon” for future productions. I wondered at what point an unattended yard sale turns into a giveaway. We played our new Horns of Fail, courtesy of Nathan. We played a “prank” (?) voice mail. We covered a news story about a Krispy Kreme that accidentally gave a customer $5,000 instead of a box of donuts. That was followed by a description of a shitty Kings Of Leon show. Ever wonder what drunken Irish students like to throw into swimming pools and washing machines? Neither did we. But now we know. Then it was time for an impromptu mashup that included this:

Item 7 – Age is a choice
Sunday, July 11th, 2010
It’s my birthday! A time for cake. And also time for another GeminiDragon audio presentation. Jen’s sick. But that’s nothing new. I play a personalized song created for me specifically by Pepsi. Only me. No one else got this birthday message. You want vuvuzelas? No one wants vuvuzelas, son. Well, we got vuvuzelas a plenty. We discussed the nature of age and dreams and discovered that age is a choice. (My current age = 12.) Jen read a comment David left for our last program. Also, vuvuzelas. I guest produced All Things Azeroth 201, and I talked about my experiences thus far in World of Warcraft. Matt joined us in the chat as we covered how a 4chan prank could send pop singer Justin Bieber to North Korea. Then we talked about what might happen if Proposition 19 passes in November. Next, we played some audio comparing one song to another, because some old folkie is suing Led Zeppelin, claiming they stole his song. We took a break with a special song by Ken Turetzky. I played it ’cause it’s my birthday and I play what I want on my birthday! We took another stab at our new segment called “Which Is Real?” where Jen is presented with two ridiculous headlines, and has to determine which one is real. Then we engaged in some Skype antics with Erk and Judy (as well as Matt). Finally, we tried closing things out with a partial list of the worst lyrics from the latest Christina Aguielera album.
Look forward to a bonus GeminiDragon audio presentation later this week, comprised of after-show zaniness.
