CMP-6-30-2007: CrapMonkey Podcast Episode 121
June 30, 2007 9:59 pmCan you believe we are half way throught 2007 already? In this episode, I chat a bit about Seattle Mindcamp and the iphone. I also share a little bit of beer news. TurboNegro has released a new album called Retox, so I thought I’d dust off an old Spool Sample from Party Animals.
The song of the day is The Hold Music Song by yours truely, and the website of the day is mp3tunes.com.
Also, I forgot to mention it in the episode, but The Clintons were trying their hand at being funny a little while back with their spoof of the Sopranos (the purpose being to get people to submit campaign song suggestions). I can’t say that they actually achieved humor, but at least they gave it a shot. They did prove one thing I’ve always suspected… Democrats don’t know how to deinterlace video.
Okay, so maybe it’s just my copy. Wired Magazine and Xerox ran a promotion that offered subscribers the chance to get their pictures on a personalized cover of the July issue. Only the first 5000 subscribers to submit a photo were able to participate. Check out other July Wired covers here (or add your own to the group).
Women’s Arm Wrestling at The Tin Hat
June 26, 2007 11:44 pmOn Monday night, the Tin Hat Bar and Grill in Ballard held a women’s arm wrestling tournament. The proceeds went to benefit Home Alive, a Seattle based non-profit that offers affordable self-defense classes. It was a great evening of beers and cheers in the name of a good cause. Enjoy the video of the festivities below. There are also some great photos of the event in Matt Harjo’s Flickr set.

June 24, 2007 2:56 pmHow much time each week do you spend sitting on the phone waiting for a conference call to begin? I spend more time that way than I care to admit. In fact, after a while it starts to feel as if the hold music is taunting you. Hence, the song below (available in mp3 or wma).
CMP-6-23-2007: CrapMonkey Podcast Episode 120
June 23, 2007 4:12 pm
The CrapMonkey was hacked and I had a few virus issues, but I’m working my way back. In this episode, we chat a bit about post Sopranos HBO (Flight of the Conchords is a great show!) as well as the new Surger product from Guinness. We also have a restroom review at the Funhouse. Just for fun, I thought I’d include a few links to humurous beer ads as well:
The song of the day is Desire by Red Sauce Number Nine and the website of the day is Popfly.com.
