Pool Party Lodging announcement

Summer Brooks — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 02:41:16 +0000

If anyone traveling to the Pool Party is still in need of a room, Tee Morris cannot make it this weekend, and thus cannot keep his reservation at the Embassy Suites.

If you’d like to adopt his reservation, send me an email, summer-dragonpage-com, and I’ll let you know how to contact him and make [...]

Adieu Evo Terra – We wish you well

Brian Brown — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 02:01:39 +0000

By now, you all know that Evo Terra has resigned his position as co-host of Wingin’ It and Slice of SciFi and will no longer be participating in any Far Point Media shows.

We understand and appreciate all of the concerns and anxieties you’ve voiced.

We share them.

This has been a big [...]

Pre-Pool Party activities

Brian Brown — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:53:34 +0000

All right all you Pool Party screwheads!

Here are the idea for the pre-pool party –

Friday evening will be Irish pub time! We have to prime our livers for the real show on Saturday.

THE CELTIC CURTAIN (3128 E. Cactus Road, northwest corner of Cactus and 32nd). It’s a small bar with good [...]

Evo has left the building

Evo Terra — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 00:29:36 +0000

Fans of the show,

I regret to inform you that, effective immediately, I’m ceasing my involvement with Wingin’ It! and all other FarPoint properties. This stems from some ill will that had been brewing with the FPM principals towards me and my actions not on WI!, but specifically on SoSF. Oddly (or naively) enough, [...]

Magic Fridge…Magic Fridge!

Brian Brown — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 05:21:34 +0000

Here it is in all it’s glory….The Magic Fridge!

No Voicemail show this week.

Brian Brown — Tue, 29 May 2007 15:10:16 +0000

Michael and Evo were out destroying the alcohol supplies at Balticon this weekend. So no voicemail show but a show that was recorded at the Con will be up later this week.

Spoil it for the whole world

Evo Terra — Tue, 22 May 2007 19:58:40 +0000

Boing Boing posted this killer Spoiler-ific t-shirt.

But I see one glaring omission.

Hair of the Dog

Evo Terra — Fri, 18 May 2007 14:13:01 +0000

Douglas A. writes sends us this video with the following message:

When you watch this ad, think of the lines “Oh My God! They grow out of those those pods” & “It’s all about the beer ” in the opening to the Wingin’ It podcast!

Commercial Funtime!

Brian Brown — Thu, 10 May 2007 17:27:47 +0000

Courtesy of MRM we have a bit of commerical fun.

And who said headlines aren’t funny?

Brian Brown — Thu, 10 May 2007 15:49:27 +0000

This is a interesting story about high wire walkers in Seoul, South Korea.

Give it a read here.

I laughed, I cried, I…oOH! ShiNY!!

Wingin’ It – Delay of GAME!

Brian Brown — Wed, 09 May 2007 16:01:26 +0000

Sorry folks but we have had a delay of game. The show might be up later of course it all depends on how calm and nice you remain. So quit yer bitching and be patient.

*UPDATE! UPDATE!*

Show’s still not up. Maybe after lunch and a nap.

MUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHA!!

If it was in your ass, you’d know where Wingin’ It! was…

Evo Terra — Sat, 05 May 2007 17:48:44 +0000

This one needs the full introduction by the author. With that, here’s John Cmar:

Given the alcohol, sex, and more that we dip into on a weekly basis, not to mention your possible carcinogenic side effects, it seems that our little community is in need of some “medical supervision,” as it were.

As such, [...]

Where’s Wingin’ It! returns!

Evo Terra — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 04:51:32 +0000

Props to Clair and Matt for single-handedly (well, there were two of them, so does that make it double-handedly? Or ambidextrous?) reviving the old “Where’s Wingin It!” photo meme.

And oddly enough, the two submissions were closely related. Larger images link from both below.

Why I want to party with J.R. Blackwell.

Evo Terra — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 15:08:04 +0000

This is why I want to party with J.R. Blackwell at a con.

Twittering for Star Wars

Evo Terra — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 14:16:52 +0000

How cool is it that both Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are have Twitter accounts?

Wait, don’t answer. I’ll tell you.

It’s really friggin’ cool. Both are very frequent updaters and quite funny. I love this application!

Insidious Nudity

Evo Terra — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 20:43:22 +0000

Xeni Jardin sez:

You know, the insidious thing about nudity is that not one of us is safe. Beneath our clothes, deep down, we are all, every one of us, nude.

Give me some Gorb

Evo Terra — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 13:28:46 +0000

Now here’s a crazy idea. If you’ve ever read damn near anything by Cory Doctorow, you’ve probably heard of Wuffie, or reputation currency, which is common to everyone. A new website, Gorb, is putting forth their hat in this ring.

I’ve only just registered for the service more as a social experiment than [...]

Evo goes on Twitter

Evo Terra — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 21:35:47 +0000

I’ve been hearing lots about Twitter for the last several weeks. As I was waiting for the wife and kid to get back from wherever the hell they were, I thought I’d take a peek. Seemed cool enough, so I now have it installed and am updating. Unsure how often my lazy ass will [...]

George Hrab Shits on Scientology

Evo Terra — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:47:42 +0000

Taken on a recent trip to San Francisco Sacramento, George Hrab takes a massive dump on the sidewalk outside of the Scientology Center.

Photo courtesy of Kevin C. Mason‘s shitty camera phone. Wait. Why don’t we say “phone camera”, because it certainly isn’t a “camera with a phone in it”. It’s a phone with [...]

Why the Jedi order prohibits drinking

Evo Terra — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 14:26:24 +0000

Too bad the authorities didn’t get there sooner.

Kids, let this be a lesson. And thanks to Kreg for passing on this valuable life lesson.

bortQ’s interpretation of #96 Voicemail show

Evo Terra — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 01:21:17 +0000

bortQ says:

Listened to Voicemail #96 and, well, it inspired me to draw up a toon. The bottom text is not part of the gag, just the thoughts of a Wingin’ It fanboy.

You rock, bortQ. And you can see more of his work on TD0013′s website, ADPOV.net. (Hey look, Mike… I can spell [...]

George Takei responds to homophobic comments

Evo Terra — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 23:00:22 +0000

Basketball all-star Tim Hardaway said some stupid shit about gay people recently. George Takei so faces him in this video clip. Classic.

George Hrab has a Trident!

Evo Terra — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 14:55:30 +0000

Some of you may recall us talking about George Hrab being painted by Kevin Mason last weekend. Here’s the proof:

Waiting for more images and a write-up to occur.

Worst job ever

Evo Terra — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:11:49 +0000

Didja ever wonder who’s on the other end of that call?

Wait for it…

For non-apologetic science fiction fans

Evo Terra — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 16:58:12 +0000

Nuff. Fucking. Said.

I exterminate in your general direction

Evo Terra — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 18:27:13 +0000

Nothing is more terrifying than a French Dalek. Unless of course you’ve already got one.

Dr. Who / Holy Grail mashup.

I’m still crying.

George Genius #1

Evo Terra — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 03:55:33 +0000

George sez:

How can you POSSIBLY have a fat priest? That’s like having a priest that publicly shows off his cock ring.

Some things defy context.

Wood spiders on drugs

Evo Terra — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 02:30:27 +0000

When wood spiders take drugs:

Given THC, the active ingredient in marijuana , the spider didn’t build a web. It build a hammock, where it lay all day… and watched the caffeine-spider go.

When sheep meet the birds…

Evo Terra — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 15:38:48 +0000

In a movie which could have been torn from the mind of Scott Sigler, you’ll never look at lamb chops the same. Black Sheep:

Critics are raving: I have HAD it, with these MOTHER****ING SHEEP, on these MOTHER****ING PLAINS!!!

The dialog is riveting: Shoot it again!

Violence of the lambs Bloody animals… The [...]

The most recent Kuato update

Joe Murphy — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 04:18:12 +0000

Ok, here’s where I’m at.

Just talked to my new surgeon this past Thursday. My case is still a mix of good and bad news.

The GI doc biopsied a piece of the tumor back when I had the endoscopy and colonoscopy in Dec. He came back with a diagnosis of Leiomyosarcoma. Which is [...]

Greatest YouTube video EVAR.

Rumos of Evo’s death have been greately exaggerated

Evo Terra — Mon, 25 Dec 2006 17:45:58 +0000

I’ve heard all kinds of theories as to why I’ve not been on the show in a while. Relax people, I’m not gone. It’s hockey season, and my kid’s schedule has thrown all kinds of things into disarray, including this (and other shows). You’ll hear me again. Next weekend, as a matter of fact.

2007 Wingin’ It! calendar is now available!

Carol of the Old Ones

Evo Terra — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 20:08:10 +0000

Have your self… a very Cthulhu Xmas…

I’m liking this holiday more and more all the time!

My Xmas gift to all of you

Evo Terra — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 15:45:14 +0000

I’ve changed my mind. I now love Xmas and have found the perfect gift to give all of you.

And before anyone asks: yes, there’s plenty to go around.

Scary Santa

Evo Terra — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 17:53:40 +0000

What is it that, as a culture, compels us to traumatize those children who are quite obviously, and perhaps rightfully, filled with abject terror at the thought of SATAN CLAWS???

This pictorial does a great job of highlight those precious “captured moments” for many of these kids. Based on this evidence along, I [...]

Return of the “Photos with You Listening To Us” contest!

Evo Terra — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 15:05:33 +0000

Keith sez:

I can’t remember if you’ve put out a halt to “pictures of the iPod playing wingin’ it” in various places or if people just stopped sending them in. I’m just going to go with “people go lazy” and send you this anyway.

Nope. That gig is still going on. Send ‘em in, [...]

Evo is everywhere

Evo Terra — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 17:33:52 +0000

Found on Flickr:

Dunno how it got there, but my influence is spreading, it seems.

I’m officially no longer a “target-audience” movie watcher

Evo Terra — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 16:47:28 +0000

I’ve seen a few films recently and have found two of the quite forgettable. I also find myself diametrically opposed to the “critics”, which isn’t all that unusual now that I think about it.

The first was Borat, which was regretably unforgettable the way that the amputation of a limb might be unforgettable. Sure, [...]

Nominate George Hrab for “Sexiest Geek”

Evo Terra — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 16:10:39 +0000

Wired Magazine is holding a competition to find the Sexiest Geeks of the Year. Head on over and put a vote in for your favorite. Personally, I nominated George Hrab. I’m still convinced he’s what my wife sees when she closes her eyes with me…

Wil Wheaton didn’t care for Open Water

Evo Terra — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 22:12:37 +0000

There was no way in hell I was gonna see this movie. I like to dive and therefore have no desire seeing people getting left by their dive boat far away from land.

Wil Wheaton sums up the entire movie in 28 lines and great spoiler-ific fashion, coming up with this final take-away:

David Moldower is smarter and funnier than me

Evo Terra — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 19:39:03 +0000

There. I’ve said it. I feel better.

Don’t believe me? I know, I found it hard to swallow as well. However, the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Dave’s particular pudding is The Morning Brew Podcast, where David and a special guess discuss three topical issues of the day. The conversation is [...]

Huge props to Dr. Phil Plait for posting it first. He’s one bad astronomer…

Voted. Now leave me alone.

Evo Terra — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 14:55:48 +0000

I voted today, so if I get one more phone call from some organization, party or candidate, I now have license to skull fuck the nearest person of the same political persuasion.

Funny quote of the day:

Evo Terra — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 04:34:19 +0000

Autobott pontificates on his actions in Second Life:

People get pissed in second life when you run through their orgies in a kool-aid man suit.

And how. Luckily, he posted a picture on his site.

Best. Halloween Costume. Evar…

Timeline of the Universe — for scifi geeks

Evo Terra — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 20:28:24 +0000

Tim Callender from the Babylon Podcast sent me a link to “The Unified Field Crossover History of the Universe“, which has been meticulously researched and often delves into utter geekdom, but even I found hi-larious.

If you ever wondered what the Doctor was doing at the time the Vulcans were getting into space travel [...]

Battlestar music video

Evo Terra — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 14:12:33 +0000

Showing that they do in fact have a sense of humor, The Sci Fi Channel has released a music video which compares and contrasts the original Battlestar with the re-imagined version. Funny stuff!

Evo’s email delays

Evo Terra — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 04:45:23 +0000

Kids.

I’m not an asshole. OK, maybe I am. But I’m not an asshole when it comes to replying to email. However, Summer and I just uncovered a problem I’ve been having for about three weeks. So if you emailed me and were expecting a reply — it’ll be a little longer. Lots [...]

Evo Terra — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 04:40:41 +0000

After returning from Dragon*Con, I’ve been trying out a few more podcasts than usual. And while all of them are quite cool, I have to give major props to one that I have become hooked on – Tag in the Seam.

Ostensibly for members of the species with internal plumbing, I’m still friggin’ [...]

Milwaukee’s Best Light is good for something afterall

Evo Terra — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 17:17:14 +0000

Our youngest listener?

Evo Terra — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 04:06:32 +0000

Paul from Oak Elk River sent us this gem. Looks like little Fox has a bright future ahead of him!

Strong enough for a man…

Evo Terra — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 21:48:05 +0000

Show that special someone just how much you care, with (s)axe ball deodorant. Flavors coming soon.

Props to Tim Callender, though I think it’s “odor” and not “oder”. Whatever. Still very cool. One of you crazy sunsabitches is gonna take this to market, huh?

Liquid threat neutralized, TSA bans snakes on a plane

Evo Terra — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 15:56:32 +0000

This latest action from the TSA came across my news reader this morning:

NO SNAKES OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED ON A PLANE. SNAKES ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED IN CHECKED BAGGAGE. This includes all pythons, boas, rattlesnakes, vipers, mambas, adders, and other known species of snakes.

Gee, it sure looks official. You [...]

RSS mixup

Evo Terra — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 18:22:51 +0000

Apologies to those who keep up to date with the site via an RSS feed. People like me, for instance. In a recent upgrade, the RSS file suddenly started putting out only excerpts of the posts. I hate that, as do many others. I think I’ve fixed it now. Sorry about that.

Samuel L. to voice God

Evo Terra — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 16:36:44 +0000

In a move sure to piss off at least some of the fundies*, Samuel L. Jackson has been cast to narrate the voice of God in a new audio-version of the New Testament. I’m not surprised that God turns out to be a black man, but I was shocked to learn he carries a [...]

On the way to find a fish-and-chips place in Vancouver tonight, we were discussing something about NJ’s hockey camp. With half an ear, I could have swore I heard a lyric on a song on the radio say “snakes on a plane”.

Checking my email today, Robert from the UK confirms it was [...]

Snakes on the post!

Evo Terra — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 03:48:17 +0000

Kurt sent me a link to a story about a venomous snake that was sent to a collector via email.

Since the story wasn’t very funny, the reporter littered it with SoaP references. At least the AP is paying attention!

The Way Star Wars Should Have Ended

Snakes on a TV set

Summer Brooks — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 21:40:09 +0000

So, there I was, watching the Italy-Germany World Cup semifinal match on ESPN, and since I wanted to watch the post-game commentary, I didn’t change the channel.

When Karen from Kalifornia and Smokin’ Joe show up as the party is winding down with not one but TWO growlers in hand, the party just kinda starts all over again. And I seriously debate skipping the next morning’s panels.

Yes, one was Double Bastard. Yes, I likely offended someone last night. w00t.

Con-Servations pt 3

Evo Terra — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 01:40:00 +0000

Hotel bars in San Diego that actually serve Stone Arrogant Bastard should have a friggin’ reserve keg on hand. Their They’re also out of Pale Ale, too. Sunabitches…

1. Pants with elastic waistbands are for tiny children. Only. Evar.

2. Goths and neo-punks must be natually cold-temperature people. And they must get up exta early to get dresses. Or simply arrive late.

3. The intellectual talent of hotel guests is disproportionatly in favor of the con registrants. The inverse holds true for [...]

Evo Terra — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 20:55:21 +0000

In the “Holy Freaking Crap” department, Mozilla’s email client, Thunderbird, just suggested the correct spelling for my mistyping of the word fellatio.

Joy comes in odd packages.

Worst SF Movie Ever?

Joe Murphy — Fri, 02 Sep 2005 22:15:25 +0000

I’m guessing by some of the responses to this week’s Wingin’ It that there are many different opinions out there about what the worst movie truly is.

So, what should we do about that? First, let’s narrow down our focus.

While Showgirls truly is a horrid endeavor, I really was trying to limit the [...]

Laser-Cannons: Coming Soon To A Galaxy Near You!

Michael R. Mennenga — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 03:01:27 +0000

This is so freaking cool! In an article at Space.com, laser cannons are being developed with very ambitious goals.

Not stuff of Scifi, but real working weapons.

“DARPA’s HELLADS (High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System) will be light enough to fit on a fighter jet or drone aircraft, and yet powerful [...]

Of 24-hour commercialism and dragons…

Evo Terra — Thu, 25 Aug 2005 16:15:13 +0000

On a recent episode of Wingin’ It!, I discussed a story idea that came to me. As I’m a non-fic writer and not a writer of fiction, I gave the idea up in the hopes that someone might pickup up the ball and run with it.

I’ve received a few replys so far and [...]

Not Sci-fi, but DAMN!!

Stop whatever you’re doing, go get your local paper, and find out what time The 40-Year-Old-Virgin is playing at your local theater. Then go see it. I’m not fracking around.

I don’t care if the movie sounds stupid to you. Don’t care if it’s not “your kind” of movie. Don’t care that it’s not [...]

Ever seen insanity like this for PC laptops?

Tee Morris — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 03:02:04 +0000

I was born and raised in Virginia, not West Virginia as Evo likes to believe, but just Virginia. The real Virginia. The state-where-everything-started Virginia. And while people from the Deep South like to say “You in Yankee Territory…”, I hold my tongue to remind them that I was born and raised in Richmond, the [...]

iPodderX – It does Windows!

Evo Terra — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 00:51:15 +0000

For all the Windows users out there who grow weary of me telling you how much your podcatcher sucks and that mine can kick your’s ass… Digg is reporting a Windows version of iPodderX is now in Beta!

Do not wait. Do not think about it. Just get it. Yes, this is a command [...]

Listen to today’s BandTrax

Evo Terra — Sat, 13 Aug 2005 01:20:21 +0000

Show a little love to a couple of folks I’m a fan of, would you please?

On today’s episode of the BandTrax Podcast (one of only three music podcasts worthy of my subscription list), my old band Spaz Kitty is featured. SF geeks will dig the tunes which play later in the show. In [...]

A great AMC afternoon…

Evo Terra — Fri, 12 Aug 2005 18:36:41 +0000

So I’m trying to get this chapter for Podcasting for Dummies done, but I’m hitting a brick wall. I turn on the television and on AMC I find a pleasant distraction: Dragonslayer. 1981. Walt Disney/Paramount Studios.

WOW! I had forgotten what a completely cool movie it was, one of those movies that [...]
