Dana talked about food again...

Per Plumey's request (So yell at him not me, Dana :P ):




Also, did NOT hate this episode as Mr. Snyder would like to think. More on that as it develops.... like tomorrow night on someone's ustream.

Omnivore's top 100

Omnivore's HundredHey gang, all our constant talk of food has led me to this interesting list of a foodie 100.

I'm going to put Ken and myself on here as well so we can compare and contrast. This comes from a list a British food writer compiled of things "every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life".

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

Award Winning Podcast?

This past Friday on the Swimcast, we tried a rather interesting experiment: The Swimmies... one of the categories was "Best Podcast You May (or May Not) Be Listening To -- Of all the nominations, only one podcast won (by a vast margin...):

Skype, Skype again-Mac version

Hi I just wanted to clear up the Skype issue for any Mac users out there. You call us. You hear our answering message. You then speak and leave your message. When you're done leaving your message you click the BIG RED BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW. It has a little phone receiver in the middle of it, and it essentially "hangs up" the call. If you merely close the window using the little red circle on the upper left of the window, all your beautiful message you left goes right down the poop hole, and is lost forever. Hope that helps as well. Now please call us and let us know how smart you are at doing this.

Skype account name : snydecast

I will not leave an unamusing youtube video after this however. I will leave you with this one, which rocks your genitals off!

A not-so-brief clarifcation on the Snydecast Skypemail

Hey Kids,

Wanted to clarify the issue (or lack thereof) with the Snydecast Skype Voicemail as addressed on the most recent Snydecast episode...


I'm using the most up-to-date version of Skype (3.8.0.188) on the PC (WinXP to be exact) and I screencapped exactly what happens when I call the VM...

Example One: Once you get through Dana's spiel about ritualistically killing Plumey in order to make this Voicemail Greeting, you will be prompted to leave your voice message. As you can see, the Green Button does not light up and is therefore inactive. The red button, as you can see from the image, prompts you to click it once you are done leaving the message.

Example Two: Once you've clicked on the red button, it confirms (presumably) that the voicemail has been sent. Clicking the red button a second time will disconnect you from the voicemail completely.

I hope that helps out on the confusion of buttons. I have to wonder if since the Mac version of Skype isn't as up-to-date as the PC version, if this may be different as Plumey had originally described... if anyone would like to test it on Mac, please do go ahead and let us know here. I don't have eleventy billion dollars for a flipping AirBook (like some people do, Dana. :P) so I can't exactly test it myself.

Besides that... I like games...
