Episode 69 -- Hnuh Hnuh He Said Sixty-Nine! 06.10.2008

My "twenty-minute show" is a bit over 40, cause I'm a bit over 50.  You do the math.  It's all about Biorhythms.  Watch a lot of TV on Hulu .  Now they follow me on Twitter -- I think they started it.  Also being followed by Barack Obama .  That one I started, but even so. Part 1 - Be Like the Bluebird A stellar -- perhaps, stunning -- a capella performance of the Cole Porter tune from " Anything...

My Results from the Aspie Quiz 01.06.2008

In case any of you have wondered where I got the idea I have Asperger Syndrome, attached are the results of an online " Aspie Quiz " I took today.  Don't know the specific authority of the quiz, but the questions are the ones usually answered anyway.  There are a couple of other worthwhile quizzes online, also. Not like my answers are liable to be a secret anyway; I've talked enough about this stu...

Hiber-Nation 1 -- Biography of a Grizzly 1.1 22.05.2008

Amazon: The Biography Of A Grizzly The beginning of " Biography of a Grizzly ," by Ernest Thompson Seton.  An old book, but I thought it appropriate for the first show in the "Stories from the Hiber-Nation" feed.  Why "Hiber-Nation?'  Because I was so proud of thinking of it, of course, even though it doesn't seem to mean anything in particular. It's actually kind of sad in spots, especially if yo...

Episode 59 -- Executive Dysfunction 19.05.2008

I had three different podcasts to finish this weekend.  I finished one, barely.  And that was a bigger accomplishment than you might expect. Part 1 -- The Dog Ate My Podcast One of the "joys" of ASD is what's called Executive Dysfunction.  I want to get it done, I know I can do it well, I understand exactly what to do ... but I can't take that first step.  It can seem similar to a lot of things, b...
