I’m returning with a podcast to my unborn grandchildren that puts me on record in opposition to the Charlottesville protest.  This is a reflection about the paradox of tolerance and the need for speaking out against hatred and violence.  It’s been four and a half years since the last episode, so there are more stories … Continue reading GC071 – Enough is enough: back after ...

The second in a double-header day of Geezercasting.  This is a really brief discussion of ICANN, where I’ve been volunteering a fair amount of my time over the past 7 years or so.  ICANN manages the domain-name and numbering systems that glue the Internet together and I helps wid dat.  My unborn grandchildren may get … Continue reading GC069 – ICANN

 Hi all, a somewhat gloomy (not grouchy, just gloomy) Geezercast that started off perky but got dragged off into Frac Sand Land by accident.  This issue has soaked up a lot of time for Marcie and me over the last several months.  So my unborn grandchildren need to hear about it. Definitely click on Jim … Continue reading GC068 – Frac Sand

A friend of mine asked that I explain my latest parlor-trick approach to music making.  There are lots of different ways of making tunes on computers, but I’ve been fiddling around with a sortof “live layered jam” approach where I cycle through a loop, adding an instrumental part each time through.  Loads of fun to … Continue reading GC066 — A “layered” tu...

All kinds of news from the farm (big new-bird news for Marcie, big new-fiber news for me).  Plus the big story of the last few weeks — online privacy.  Which then morphs into my personal story of moving myself off of Google services as much as I can.  I tell a bit about what’s been … Continue reading GC065 — What if Google turns evil? →<...

Richard, and the rest of the crew of the tall ship Bounty, are heading out in a couple days.  They’re leaving from San Juan Puerto Rico with a destination of St Petersburg, Russia — so this is a two-way crossing of the Atlantic. I decided to dedicate this little tune to the Bounty.  It’s long, … Continue reading Geezercast Special — the Bounty Boogie
This Geezercast is a reflection on my recent trip to the ICANN meetings (in San Francisco this time), the huge earthquake and tsunami in Japan that happened just as I was flying out there and the continuing hijinks of the Republican governor and legislature here in Wisconsin. Click HERE to listen to this 13 minute … Continue reading GC064 — ICANN .XXX and Japan Tsunami
