No album art again this time. Think of it as an aesthetic choice.
Health insurance. We don’t have it. But thanks to Planned Parenthood, we won’t be makin’ no trailer park babies anytime in the next three years. Wooooo 2011!
Please help us make shows by adding stuff to this Google document created by Nathan.
We played a song towards the end by Cable35.

I’m too tired to make real shownotes and I asked Twitter to make me some album art but Twitter failed. So, there’s no album art. And you can blame Twitter for that.
The song at the end of the show is called “Sunny Day” by Somnistatic. You can hear more songs (and even buy some!) at the Somnistatic Bandcamp page.

Two items in one month. It’s like two for the price of one. Double your value. That’s how we roll. We covered the video we released as item 30. Friend of the show Ben in Australia is going through a rough time right now. He let us know through Twitter how much he appreciated listening to our show. That’s why this item is dedicated to him. Ben was a guest on our old show, and that made me wonder if we should revive our old show? (Where the hell is the Daves Caldberank, already?!?!?!) We talked about how our upcoming trip to Chicago has been booked and that most of the logistics have been worked out. I brought up my latest scheme to finance the purchase of an iPad. Jen’s been sick. We talked about why. Then, we played (edited in) a song we recorded a few years ago. After that, it was pretty much all over.

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:

We’ve been gone for over two months but we come back strong with some on-air troubleshooting of the audio levels. We provide an explanation and some thoughts on why it’s been so long. I made an “official” announcement about my new personal website. We covered our great shed reorganization/yard sale of 2011. I briefly mentioned that I played an open mic in March. Then we talked a lot about TV shows we’ve been watching: “Hoarders,” “Hoarding: Buried Alive,” “Deadliest Catch,” and “Sister Wives.”

I’m not really in any mood to type up proper show notes. Here’s the digest version:

It’s a gray and rainy Sunday, perfect for recording a lazy-day kinda non-live podcast. We announced Jen’s new podcast project and did some wondering about the validity of the show’s name. We picked up some sandwiches earlier in the day from Subway. Jen thinks it was more than just her sandwich that was “toasted.” We joined the Internet pile-on over the “new” Zodiac signs and wondered if GeminiDragon may now be in need of a name change. We covered a story about a new law prohibiting Internet impersonators. Then we moved on to how hackers celebrated Kim Jong-Un’s birthday by hacking North Korean Twitter and YouTube accounts. We followed that up with a cool song

It was a live event, where we wondered what people used to do on a Friday night before we all started doing Internet radio shows from home. I talked about my recent frustrations with iMovie and then we played part of a podcast I recorded that contained a special song I wrote for the occasion. We read off an odd spam comment along with some humorous Craigslist ads. We read over a story about South Korean pop stars who’ve finally caught up to American trends from ten years ago. Next, we covered an exciting contest where you can win an iPod! All you need to do is let the TSA grope you. Then it was time for some fun audio from an MSNBC producer’s meltdown:
Asthma or anxiety? Jen tries to figure it out. I gave the reasons why I’m glad to not be dating in the time of online social networks. We checked our progress so far in this year’s NaPodPoMo followed by a great song

It was a live(ly?) time for this GeminiDragon presentation. In typical fashion, my microphone stand broke a few minutes before we began the show. We started off with some important announcements. We’re participating in NaPodPoMo this year and we’re also now syndicating over the old Airferg RSS feed. We provided a brief history of our exploits in podcasting. Then I explained why it’s been a few weeks since our last presentation. We debated on whether or not it’d be better to spend $840,000 on a home in downtown San Luis Obispo, or if it’d be better to purchase an entire quadrant of Oklahoma. We covered a story about a Las Vegas hotel that’s cooking its patrons with a death ray. We played some prank-name audio:
Then we discussed how a reality-show contestant is suing Simon Cowell for being mean! Then it was time for a song

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:
