Pro!

Since nobody else has opened it up - here is the official FNPDC thread!

I will warn you - I won't be around much tonight as we're recording an episode of Tech Snark.

If we get enough interest prior to starting (around 9 Central) - we'll have a LIVE feed of the show while we record. We don't have the wherewithal to have interaction tonight as I just thought about doing a live feed just this second.

Time to DRINK!

    I've got my glass of Chardonnay and awaiting the arrival of my co-hosts!
  • Eric T. replied May 16th
    I don't know what happened, today was a very quiet day...but the night shouldn't be.
  • amber a. replied May 16th
    Hey guys! I've got my cola since it's Saturday afternoon here.
  • Carolyn S. replied May 16th
    Rum mixes with cola, Amber! ;-)

    So if it's a party of three...then so be it!
  • amber a. replied May 16th
    it's not even noon yet and there is no alcohol in the hostel. $200 fine if you get caught.
  • Carolyn S. replied May 16th
    Booo. That sucks!
  • Steven G. replied May 16th
    Hows everyone doing tonight? :)
  • Steven G. replied May 16th
    I'm not drinking I'm just lonely, Hug Me? Kidding, I've got a bottle of O`Darby. :P
  • Carolyn S. replied May 16th
    I'm still drinking! And the stupid webcam won't work with Audacity - so no live video feed. :-(
  • Steven G. replied May 16th
    haha, Should do a drunk Tech Snark. :D
  • amber a. replied May 16th
    Awww... there is nothing on tv... was hoping it would work.
  • Eric T. replied May 16th
    I'm catching up on TV myself..I was weeks behind on BSG...I know you can no flog me.
  • Tim W. replied May 16th
    LIVE SHOW VIDEO FEED!

    We'll be starting when the Tech Snark crew gets here. For now, enjoy some album art. ;-)

    Hey y'all, I just came back from the pub. I'm opening up the snark feed in another tab.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    You're all smelling each other's legs? And you're not charging !WyattUrp for the excitement of it all?
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    @all, I was referring to http://www.ustream.tv/... if you were wondering.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Hmm. Everyone seems either absent or on the live feed of Tech Snark. I feel like I should be live-blogging the podcast.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    The podcast is on break now. They are currently discussing weather and various implications thereof.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    !siriuslyheather is purportedly the only sober one over at the Tech Snark FNPDC live forum.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    The snarker's are back online.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    They're pondering the possibilities of cats with opposable thumbs.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    They're now showing off Tara's Zune.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    I'm losing track trying to follow vid and discussion, but apparently someone offers a projection of someone to share one's bed so you can see there feet on your back and virtually cuddle.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    They're suggesting now that time might be spent better talking to real girls. (imagine that.)
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    "You're snuggling with a picture."
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    For those wondering why I'm talking to myself, I'm practicing my live-blogging skills monitoring http://www.ustream.tv/....

    And I'm not going to explain why they just said "cuffing the carrot" but it was compared to watching skinemax.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Someone just purred. Possibly Blogkitten.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    they're reading email now.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    reader Max is turned on by Tara's voice.

    She's described her Minnesota accent as swampers in a swamp. I don't know what that means.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Tara is not apparently going to flash the audience with her huge heaving tracts of land.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    It's wacky gadget time.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Solar powered eco-friendly lingerie. http://www.pinktentacl...
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Now they're discussing the spritzer cup. Sounds nasty.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Office supply gadget: http://www.urbanoutfit... apparently it's called the butt station.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    everyone should have one.
    (It's actually a cute gizmo...not nearly as creepy as it sounds.)
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    aigh. they're back to cuff the carrot and "carrot juice"
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Closing remarks, bikeride, etc.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    New show: artificial intelligence. Info on http://www.pinkninjast... So now one wonders if the Powncers will return here, or merely disperse.

    And they're saying bye to Steven G.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Tech Snark after party, they're going to chug Chardonnay.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Tech problems...or they don't want us to watch them snarfing vino.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    The vid is still buffering but the Powncers are still chatting there.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Carolyn is back on and the others are getting bevvies and smokes.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Tara and Carolyn are now dancing.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Question: How does it make money?
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Answer unknown, C posited "Maybe they sell babies."
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Now they are about to chug Negor Modela, Wine and whatever.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Now discussing audio quality. "I'm in the middle of a cocktail party with the same three people. " - Tim
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Pownce v. Twitter. Actually they'r e Powncers but C is the only active one.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    They think they're boring us now, but I think the chatters are keeping themselves busy anyway. And they want to get Tim to watch Smallville. I didn't know that was even still on.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Here's a screen capture from the show: http://www.flickr.com/...
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Apparetnly almost all the main characters have left but someone named "Marvin" is hot?
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Aside from the "live-blogging" is this what it is like to be a Twittering cross-poster to Pownce. You just write and post and no one pays attention?
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Now new people have joined the chat and are adding rude epithets without content. This led to a comparison between kiwi and balls on the vid stream.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    shave...well you can image where this is going.

    ah, rude boy has been banned. And Carolyn is out of wine.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Someone is threatening to defect to Canada since that is where !artfuldodga is from.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Now they are wondering where in Canada he is from and this has gone into a Paul Simon moment.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    They've signed off and said goodbye so I guess I'll stop my live-blogging experiment to see if anyone shows up.
  • Eric T. replied May 16th
    ^^Showing up.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    In case anyone wonders why I've been talking to myself, it's been an experiment in live-blogging the FNPDC which went to an alternative location in the live forum for Tech Snark. I was inspired by the fact the Craig Newmark is going to try to live blog from Commencement at Case this weekend. http://blog.case.edu/c... He did a bit from Berkeley Tuesday and hopes to manage some this weekend too.
  • Eric T. replied May 16th
    Something really doesn't want me to catch up on BSG...it must be going down...like smallville, oh!
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Eric! Yay! I was about to give up.

    Wari W. replied May 16th
    Hmm, if this is the time you do live shows, kinda hard for me to follow. Not usually the time I'd be in front of a computer. :) Well I am from the other side of the planet.
  • Carolyn S. replied May 16th
    HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FUN!!!!! Thanks to everyone who watched!!!
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    !wari, where are you and what time is it? It's 11:38 pm here in Cleveland Ohio USA.
  • Eric T. replied May 16th
    this sucks I lost my fridays off come june 1st...
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    !blogkitten, Thank you for giving us a field trip!
  • Steven G. replied May 16th
    I enjoyed it, now its late and I'm off to sleep!
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    It was fun, also more in the feel of the old FNPDC days (eons ago in March) when everyone was writing in real time instead of doing whatever and occasionally checking in.
  • Eric T. replied May 16th
    I def drank enough...might have to call it...or start drinking water.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    I'm going to have to go to the loo again soon. But if things are winding down I may just go to sleep myself. Good to see ya Eric!
  • Giovanni .. replied May 16th
    What's happening! :D
  • amber a. replied May 16th
    I got 20 views on my post about live techsnark. :) hehe.

    Called my parents... they're excited about me coming home.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Well done Amber! Not much here. Josh just sent a new Wownce post at http://wownce.com/comm.... I think I may go to bed. I've got some more work blogging that must be done tomorrow.

    Tim W. replied May 16th
    Whew! Now that that's over...
    That was really cool! Thanks to everyone who hung out and watched! Another example of why Pownce is one of the best communities on the web.
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Thanks Tim, it was fun! (No way would this happen from Twitter.)
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    p.s. I took a screen capture during the aftershow. It's at http://www.flickr.com/.... (I hope no one minds, if so let me know and I'll take it down. I thought it might be good to show the folks who missed FNPDC tonight.)
  • Tim W. replied May 16th
    Awesome! Hells no nobody minds!
  • Heidi C. replied May 16th
    Glad to hear it. Well it's 12:09 here on the southern shores of Lake Erie. And while I'd normally consider that early it's been a long week, so fair thee well fellow Powncers. Tim, Carolyn et all thanks for the road trip!
