Rubenerd Show 259 2008.11.26

Larger version of cover artThe Nicole Kidman David Letterman episode!

The very lovely Nicole Kidman’s awkward interview on David Letterman’s Late Show (YouTube link); an official apology for Rubenerd Show 258; the joys of insomnia; missing my MadPlayer and Armada M300; DavesPhotoGallery.net; my back hates my MacBook Pro; amazing detail exposed with flash photography (ha!); unscrupulously punching holes though property; automatic bright orange snow shovels; Google Reader and curious white powder on recycling bins!

Rubenerd Show 258 2008.11.24

Larger version of cover artThe recycling bin rescue episode!

The show title says it all. One of the most comprehensive, well researched, intense, respectable, accurate, relevant, without peer, hard hitting and to-the-point episodes ever recorded. Music from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ABC1 News service.

Rubenerd Show 257 2008.11.23

Larger version of cover artThe freak Aussie weather and iPhone 2.2 episode!

Freak weather in Australia (torrential storms in Brisbane, fluctuating temperatures in Adelaide, snow in Victoria a week before summer!); my cheesy slogan from primary school; my dad’s plant designs in Pinkenba; the iPhone and iPod Touch 2.2 update (still no copy/paste, the amazing street view feature, the new weird MobileSafari layout); Toronto, Adelaide and Dublin; the IntoYourHead show; and utopian science fiction writers!

UPDATE: I referred to the CEO of Microsoft as Steve Jobs not Steve Ballmer! The blasphemy! Please forgive me!

Podcast feed has been fixed

I was alerted by Todd and Kaede that the Rubenerd Show RSS podcast feed thingy wasn’t working properly for them. I had a look on my server and it turns out the RSS feed php file was corrupted when I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress last night. As far as I can tell that was the only file affected, but to play it safe I re-uploaded every server-side file again.

Hope that clears it up for people, sorry for the trouble.

Larger version of cover artThe Moleskine retro 256 episode!

My obsession with and purchase of a soft cover Moleskine book from NoteMaker, Impromptu review of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, my take on The Rampler with blogging, Amazon delivery of David Letterman Late Show Fun Facts, the anatomy of the human hand including the ever elusive thumb, colour computer nostalgia, where the number 256 keeps cropping up, afternoon post office bus trips and wondering what the heck an Australia Post eParcel is!
