Time-Shifted Commentary
I've been putting a considerable amount of time and consideration into my Beercasting project. For the most part, the Beercast itself is considered to be time-shifted, however, I want to try yet another new twist to this mix: time-shifted commentary.
One of the main issues we have with doing a real-world recording that is later downloaded is that it's impossible to really get feedback or to react to our listeners. To try and get around this issue, I am going to list the topics (and some related links) we're considering to discuss for feedback BEFORE we do the actual Beercast.
We're planning to record Tuesday evening. Comment here if you want us to hear you.
For anyone that doesn't want to hear Beercasting news, two small points. First, I plan on moving most of these posts to the Beercasting.com site soon. Second, I am considering a separate feed that filters them. How do you feel about these posts?
Hair Fetish
What is up with these ridiculous prices for haircuts? How much are people willing to pay for these things, realistically? Is there any real value that can be seen in a $800 haircut versus a $80 one? Where do you get your hair cut? Are you loyal to your barber or stylist?

Fashion Whores and their Shearling Boots
What is up with these furry ass boots that women seem to be wearing these days. They have to be some of the ugliest things I have seen, honestly.

Blingets (Blinged Out Gadgets)
I came across this interesting promotion on ninewest while looking for pictures of those ridiculous boots. Apparently, they had an iPod Mini customized to coordinate with one of their ensembles. They're offering this up as a little prize. The company responsible for the monster is a place called nycpeach.com. For about $350 you can have your iPod mini crusted up pretty good.

"Taking A Break" Sex
The other day someone was telling me about one of her friends (that I know) that broke up with her man and got back together after a couple of months apart. During this period, her friend was as busy as a rabbit getting it on with several new beaus. It seems, however, that the game was one-sided. When her friend caught wind of her ex getting a little closer (something like a kiss) she went straight back to him and they are not back together.
So they are back together now. She admitted she slept with these other guys. Hell if I would let that shit happen to me though. Am I the only one who thinks that's total BS?
How Come You Don't Call Me Back?
I never considered this much of an issue, to be honest, but it seems that the more women I ask about this the more I encounter that have the same problem. What's the problem? They give their number to a guy and he doesn't ever return the call. Apparently many are waiting anxiously for that phone call. Perhaps, in the greater balancing act, however, there's probably significantly more men that give their number out that absolutely never hear from the woman.
I've been guilty of this crime in the past, sometimes it was someone that I wanted to just get rid of, others it was because I couldn't be mean to say no, and probably the worst, sometimes I just wanted to see if I could get the number. I'm not sure what games the women are playing but I am interested in hearing some more about that.

Got this pointer from angeNose and thought it was funny as hell. It speaks to the role of religion in the last US election. I think it will make for an interesting talk.

- Is there really a ban on photography?
