Frank, thanks for all the great stuff you talk about. Below is my list of things that are cool and things that make being here great.
10 Really Cool Things
1. Stainless steel rulers with cork on back
2. The way a bowling ball reverse spins out of the auto return machine
3. Psychedelic videogames
4. Little tubs of sauce from fast food places, superior to packets
5. The way cream looks as it settles into coffee
6. Banannas for several reasons:
6a. snapping the top back to open
6b. opening from bottom like a monkey
6c. throwing peel out the window always makes me laugh.
6d. seeing a bananna peel on the ground always makes me laugh
7. The color of electric discharges, zzzzzt!
8. Looking at ads in old magazines

Fen, A poem dedicated to the obscure obliviana we all feel.
Empirical Praecognita
1897 first indication revealed
ghosting faire exiled
3 waiting behind bowling house
penmen fearing implications
repeater lost time in mind travel
children laughing empty rooms
luera heard inside radio, felt
camphor danching in vial 1927
statue fountain missing
1970 the field collapse
word thought action effect

I wish your comments opened it a separate window, so I could still be listening. What a cool idea for a podcast! It reminds me of a movie that I just saw with Jodie Foster called The Brave One. Her character does a radio show in which she tells stories with city sounds as background.
