COMING SOON: "Our Show of Shows," the podcast about Old-Time Radio. We're recording Episode Zero tonight!
Fat Man on Bike Report: I didn't have the exact change to take the bus out to the trail today, so I rode into downtown to get my transit ticket at the light rail station vending machine (which gives change.) Then I rode back to the bus, took the bus to the trail, biked out a ways and then headed home, for a total of about 6 miles.
I'm still more comfortable riding on the bike trail than on city streets.
5 Reasons To #Shave With A Modern (or Old) Safety Razor
A pretty good video with over 77,000 views. Only thing maybe he left out is that safety razors cause less irritation and largely avoid any ingrown hairs or razor bumps. That is a pretty key reason for anyone who experiences these conditions with cartridge razors.

There must be a huge market for an alternative to capitalism.
Fat Man on Bike Report: 5.46 miserable miles, but at least I annoyed a couple people with the horn.
@tomwsmf That photo isn't of mine, BTW. CB has a decent mic I can use.
@tomwsmf ...so if I can find the foam and you want it, I'll send it to you. The thing really works well, and since I live near the between the Amtrak and freight train and MAX tracks and the expressway, it'll be important on my end.
@tomwsmf I have the later half of Sunday free for podcast thinking. I have ideas for episodes 0 and 1, but I want to beat them into shape. Monday I have an OMSI Maker Faire meeting in the AM, then free in afternoon.
ALSO, I have a simple recording booth thingie, made out of a folding cloth storage cube and some finger foam. We made it for CB to record some vocals, and if I recall correctly, we had exactly twice as much foam as we needed...
@tomwsmf So, could we run an instance that's purely dedicated to OTR talk?
This is reminding me more and more of IRC.
A bike horn is so much less genteel than a bell. I want to scare people just a little.
@tomwsmf Mother-in-Law delighted she can now read the Las Vegas Sun on a laptop. Next time I visit, I'll explain the streaming audio.
Fat Man on Bike Report: I bought a gel saddle cover. Also, though the IKEA bike comes with a bell, I bought a HORN! Because I'm a big kid! HONK! HONK!
Hey, I'm tooting from my Mother-in-Law's apartment! And the streaming audio works even thought the WIFI isn't too strong.
@tomwsmf How about "Our Show of Shows: A Podcast About Old-Time-Radio"?
Fat Man on Bicycle Report: a little under an hour. Out to the trail, back and forth, two rests on benches.
Sometimes listening to a bit of the past can help us in the here and now...and in the future. Tune in to the WSMF Podcast Network for broadcasts on this day in history

I love how Bob Bailey (as Johnny Dollar) says "suppeeny" for "subpoena." Even when everyone around him pronounces it differently. #OldTimeRadio
