Subliminal "Chuck"


Um, I thought the whole subliminal advertising thing was a discredited myth. Then I saw this on the latest episode of "Chuck" for a split second. What gives?

Aloha, it's just barely March 21, and welcome to episode 16 of therefore.am. on today's show,

Starbucks owes its Calif. employees $100 million in pilfered tip money ...

Also, a new study suggests that buying stuff makes you happy, if you buy it for someone else.

Plus, a woman with the worst karma in the world is killed when a stingray jumps in her boat.

Also, think death is the final escape from the digital age? think again. New gadgets are making graveside memorials into mini-post-mortom myspace pages.

finally someone or somethree have been pilfering through Barack Obama's passport file ... what do they know, and how much will hillary and/or mccain be willing to bid for it?

All this, and Jeff surfs the websters and gives us his quote of the day, all coming up on therefore.am.

on today's show, science has discovered the first-six-tentacled octopus ... will we need latin to give it a name ... and might that name inspire another James Bond movie?

Plus, the dems are deadlocked in a heated fight between Barack and Hillary that's sure go all the way to the convention. Time to bring out the big guns? Hillary's got Bill, but but Barak's got grandma ... I know where I'm putting my money. Also, the Boston Herald's got has listed the many impediments to a obama-clinton/clinton-obama ticket.

Then, if you've got a verizon wireless account, then the feds are likely spying on you, too, in the name of anti-terrorism. Can you hear my fourth amendment rights in their death throes now?

Finally , if you're a rebellious teen with a broadband connection, should you be able to rant on your blog about your high school administrators? A connecticut lawyer says "I'm paid a lot of money by the burlington school district to say NO"

all this, plus the word and quotitian quotation of the day, and you chat and comments as they arrive, all42 coming up on therefore.am.

Aloha, it's just barely March 5th, and welcome to episode 4 of therefore.am. on today's show, Moses on the mountain: "thou shall not covet thy neighbor's female servant?" what was HE smokin?

Plus, in the wee hours when it's just you, your computer, and perhaps some coltrane, how'd you like to feel what your looking at online? Ooooh, that etrade account is sooooo soooooft.

Then, Imagine a vat of liquid cow manure covering the area of five football fields and 33 feet deep. No, it's not the editorial department of Fox News, it's a new California iniative to convert manure into fuel.

Plus, Texas and Ohio have spoken, and it looks like Hillary Clinton is the political equivalent of Glenn Close in the bathtub in "fatal attraction." I didn't really rip that comparison off from the huffington post, but I noticed after googling for "fatal attraction" that it it was there ... hat tip to the huff.

Plus, how good is your anti-shark device? Well, the makers of the shark shield are going to have to wait until a 12-foot great white craps it out after eating it whole before you can compare notes.

all this, plus the word and quotation of the day, coming up on therefore.am.

Olga's First-Try Bullseye

Still getting ready for digitalslobpod SEASON TWO ... until then, here's some fun video of Olga shooting an AK-47, first time she ever fired a weapon (other than her "you're dead when we get home" 'evil eye). She got a bullseye on her first try ... perhaps because she was firing a rifle direct from her Motherland.

2007 CES is soooo old news ...

Once again this year, I traveled in my buddy's time machine to check out the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, so check out my column this week in various newspapers (earliest: Monday in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin). Items "revealed" include:

*** Google Earth Instant Replay
*** Immortal House Plants
*** Home Depot "Default" Service

What ... you think just because it's the future ... it's supposed to hit you as instantly mind-blowing? Why would the 2018 CES be any different? Actually, it's pretty cool ... but read Monday for explanations.

For my many and varied previous trips through time to the 2018 CES check out these links:

*** Q-Tip cam, eFib and Surfin' DVD
*** Magnavox USR, Hookup Ts, and Personalized Lifetime Original Movies
*** Virtual Borders, Preemptive Inputs Inc., and "Alive Eye for the Zombie Guy" Special Edition DVD
*** SpaceShipProm, House of Reflective Wax and the Dell Super Compact Micro Mini Itty Bitt [-Key Computer
*** Office Politics Orb, and the Nielsen Ear-Eye Meter

Endless Ego of the Month

For December, I announced on the ENDLESS EGO CAVALCADE that Oprah was the Endless Ego of the Month ... early frontrunner for January: Daniela Cicarelli ... who protests way too much about her public beach tryst being uploaded on YouTube ... to a Brazilian judge ... as the newly chastened Paris Hilton might say ... "In my day, we had the discretion to do things that required night vision filters on our video cameras."

(don't click below if you're afraid of foreign movies subtitled in a language other than English ... or if you don't like sex ... but that's pretty redundant, if you ask me.)

Just a quick update from the Digital Slob in Waikiki post quakes, from his still standing shoebox in paradise. Sunday morning Hawaii was hit with two separate earthquakes, a 6.7 and a 6.0, within minutes of each other. Thankfully there was no tsunami ... if there was, I'd be typing this under water.

EXPO EXPOS FACTO WEEK

*** DIRECT LINK TO SHOW ***

Many stories have already been told about the 2006 Podcast and Portable Media Expo ... it was in late September, after all ... many say that train has left the station ... but my hangover has just now left me, so it's time to review:

Highlights include:

1) My wife, Olga, the publicity machine
2) Meeting cool people
3) My panel discussion
4) Two orders of room service buttermilk pancakes that I didn't have to pay for.
5) The Parties

Lowlights include:

1) My wife taking heat from Jason Calacanis
2) Leo LaPorte's keynote
3) The unfortunately still too impenetrable podcast bubble.

Dvorak surprised Hawaii has computers


After a long day of conk blowing and virgin sacrificing up on the volcano, I came across this post from noted tech columnist John C. Dvorak after he heard I'd compared him in a column to Stattler, the famous Muppet curmudgeon who heckled acts from the balcony with his partner-in-crime Waldorf:

"This takes the cake for off-handed compliment/insults. Curt 'Digital Slob' Brandao writing in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin says I look like the Muppet Show character Stattler. I was shocked when I read this. I had no idea they used computers in Hawaii."


A nice little jab back from Dvorak, since whatever admiration I have for him -- considerable, he knows more tech stuff than I do and can bore normal people at 10 times my top speed -- was probably deeply cloaked in my apt comparison -- but come on, you don't have to go after the entire Aloha State ;-). We've got quite a tech industry here, actually.

Truth is, I am a Dvorak fan. Here's the link to what I had to say about his "Cranky Geeks" video podcast. It's generally positive, I think, though, admittedly, something gets lost when it's translated from its original hula.

Yes, John, Hawaii has computers -- it's amazing what you can make out of coconuts.

Mmmmm ... publicity


Seems a comment AOL exec Jason Calacanis made to my wife/supermodel/digitalslobpod cohost/digitalslobpod spokesperson Olga Timakova at the Podcast and Portable Media Expo has caused many in the blogosphere to rise up to defend her honor ... I would have led that fight, of course, but we've been sleeping off the expo in a Vegas hotel, and I didn't want to pay for Net access until now b/c I wanted to save my resources for blackjack ... as it turns out, there was no point, however.

Apparently, as I've just learned, when I was working the other side of the expo hall in Ontario, Calif., last weekend, he told my wife "You're podcasting? Let me give you some good advice, no one wants to hear you talk." Olga didn't tell me about it, but that was no surprise ... she usually spares me from looking at the vast, cavernous inventory of comments she gets from men because it's been known to give me vertigo.

Seems Valleywag has a poll up
, asking who you'd rather listen to talk ... Jason or Olga ... right now, Olga's ahead w/ 93 percent of the vote ... I think the campaign poster helps.

Webpronews.com reporter Jason Lee Miller also bravely refuted Calacanis' claims in a story he posted today about us ... maintaining that Olga has a wonderful speaking voice, especially when near a Marriot hotel pool party, although he did, technically, also call her a liar.

Chris Heuer
, the expo attendee and blogger who took the photo above, said in his estimation Jason wasn't being sexist, but simply commenting on the quality of Olga's voice ... as for Olga? Her direct quote ... "Listen to digitalslobpod, and judge for yourself."

Rarin' to go Expo


Havin' a blast at the Podcast and Portable Media Expo in Ontario, Calif., this weekend ... lost pretty quick at the Pickle Poker Tourney ... but that is to be expected ... going to wear the shirt shown here I had made up so people could instantaneously tell if I was someone important enough to talk to down on the expo floor ... I'm thinking they should hand these out next year, anywhere from "not very important" "very, very, important." Got another shirt that says "Slack Off on Your Day Job."

Apple gone a courtin

Looks like Apple has decided to claim a trademark on the term "podcast" in much the same offical way Daisy, my beagle mix, claims the neighborhood fire hydrant every day around dusk, sending cease and desist orders to certain smaller site owners that use the term.

This has lots of folks upset, and rightly so ...

So, far, I'm one of the lucky ones, though Cupertino could be working its way down a list and might go after those who use "pod" as a suffix, as well as a prefix or a root word, eventually. Still, guess I better delay the unveiling of my new show until I contact a lawyer ... I was planning to call it "Live With Regis, Kleenex, Mo-Ped, Xerox and Jet Ski."

Bloom-in media

Ron Bloom of Podshow predicts that in five years, 50 percent of all media consumed will be produced by consumers ... The Age of Mr. Microphone is finally upon us.

I predict the other 50 percent of media consumed will be produced by nanobots that are constantly regenerating Oprah’s cellular structure.

Regardless, his point (directed at advertisers) seems to be that corporations need to enlist the support of hundreds or thousands of tiny worker ants to viral-market their message in renegade, off-the-cuff, uncontrollable ways, podcasts presumably being among those ways. Hip, cool hipsters passing out virtual fliers in virtual airports wearing virtual togas.

Fascinating point from someone who has both the gift of foresight and the gift of venture capital. That said, I look forward to seeing how the ad messages will filter through the podcasting community. Will 50 percent of all the top 100 podcasts suddenly work Diet Pepsi, somehow, into their format one week? That could come across a bit creepy. Bodysnatcher-esque ... bringing perhaps too much old meaning to the term "Pod People."

I'm sure I missing the point. I usually think clearer after I've had some DIET PESPI!!!! OH NO!! AAAAAAUUUGHHHHHH!

While I'm still recovering from my nasty bug, this week, digitalslobpod advances the spread of the theme by sucking the life out of another podcast like a parasite, the Cotolo Chronicles, with Part Two of Curt's conversation with veteran broadcaster Frank Cotolo. Snuff-fetish topics include:

The death of newspapers, the death of live entertainment, the death of "professional content." The death of the phrase "the death of." And, plotting the demise of Digital Rights Management.

We may be entering the paperless society, but it's not stopping the Media Grim Reaper from being up to his eyeballs in paperwork.

ROLE-REVERSAL WEEK

*** DIRECT LINK TO SHOW ***

Sorry for the delay ... Curt has the flu, so his wife Olga sits in for him, editing highlights from his appearance last week on Cotolo Chronicles. So Olga hosts, instead of Curt, on a highlight show where Curt is the guest, not the host, on Cotolo's Hallelujah Trail ... hence, role-reversal week.

Highlights:
Olga: "Americans do everything to do nothing."
Mixed marriages: Sometimes the easiest thing to do is not so easy.
If Curt tried to move to Russia, within 72 hours, he would be dead. Not a dishwasher, not mopping floors. He'd be dead, and someone would have stolen his shoes.

Where does Curt get his ideas? Charlie Brown.
Why become a writer: It had the best praise-to-work ratio.

Live podcasts vs. edited podcasts. Frank's is free-form, Curt is a control freak ... each has it virtues (but some podcasts are more virtuous than others).

Why "Digital Slob"? Mixing the clean world of external expectations with the messy world of internal contentment.

Using tech to amplify who you are, rather than tech using you to absorb who you are.

MONEY MANAGEMENT WEEK

*** DIRECT LINK TO SHOW ***

IRS tip: Faking your own death and moving to Mexico. Coinstar helps you pick up the monetary crumbs left around your house after April 15. Podsafe Music: Theory in Motion with "Money." DRM is one acronym that doesn't provide consumers with TLC. Survey says 10 percent of telecommuters work in the nude (anecdotal observations via my amateur telescope suggest that's about 9 percent too many). Stay tuned at the end for a surprise guest who has a daughter named Ivanka.

For those wondering if the woman who possess the sexy voice behind the "standby for installation" voiceover was as easy on the eyes as she is on the ears, here's a photo she made on a recent model shoot. Her career is taking off. She's also my wife ... something I keep trying to say with modesty, but always comes out with beaming pride.

Background noise is fridge ... not turning it off b/c I'll forget to turn it back on, and my marriage is but one melted leftover smoothie away from the dust heap of history.

Sorry for skipping a week ... making up for it by hijacking the "Cotolo Chronicles," veteran jack-of-all-media Frank Cotolo's live 2-hour weekly Internet radio show, which features me for the last 90 minutes.

I know, I know, but he gives everyone persmission to do this with the first words out of his mouth every week — so put your lawyers back in their holsters.

We talk about everything from the future of podcasting and live radio shows to Tom Selleck's sexuality and how much Hawaii marks up Macaroni and Cheese.

Meanwhile, my wife and I both celebrate our birthdays this week (she's 28, I'm 38) ... she's so pretty everyone thinks she married me for my money ... it really sucks when the one thing people think you've got going for you, you also DON'T HAVE!

Having a party tonight ... maybe we'll post some pictures if I can crop any of them into PG-13 dimensions.

Aloha,
Curt

Digital Slob
In the midst of a successful, albeit difficult to Google, 12-year professional career as a newsroom manager for a slew of daily newspapers, Curt decided it was time to siphon back some of the creative spotlight, and "wow" readers with his deft improvisational typing. "Digital Slob" debuted in 2002.
