mathowie 0:07 Gentlemen, welcome to the metal filter podcast while you're away, take yourself write down any wins by the way. We'll talk really quick about the music challenge and then I want to talk about the party. Okay. And then I want to talk about travel filter and sort of like, introduce it to people.

Jessamyn 0:52 Okay, are you gonna you're gonna tell them what the URL is and stuff for you just explain it. Yeah,

mathowie 0:57 I'll explain it and say what the URL is. And don't post it to meta talk. Like it's totally bug.

Jessamyn 1:03 It's not it's not live yet started complaining. And

mathowie 1:06 then we can do recaps.

Jessamyn 1:08 Sounds great. I don't know much about the music challenge. So you'll have to take the lead on that one. Except that I've been listening to this stuff. And it's good. And everybody bitched at me for the stupid topic, and you didn't

mathowie 1:19 even come up with the topic. Not really. I did. I did as a I just pulled it out of my ass when we were when I was mocking it up. And I just said to email that you guys you cortex was like, so cortex pick a title. He's like, I can't remember as you were him. They just like, I just use the one you got water. That's fine. Right. Right. Right. So yeah, officially, I came up with it.

Jessamyn 1:45 And you can take the heat for it. So

mathowie 1:49 yeah, it started off slow. But you know, I mean, music isn't something created overnight. And the second song mocking that theme wasn't very good, but it's really

Jessamyn 2:02 the theme was very good.

mathowie 2:05 Yeah, that's true. It really picked up and it's really kicking ass. I mean, yesterday, there's something like five or six songs posted and they're all pretty good. Now there's like six or seven? I have four or five favorites. I think we're gonna start with where the hell is it? Sailing on right by? By a new member who I think produces an actual famous person's music. An actual famous person, some famous person Europe, apparently according to the comments. This Kim yo guy This woman has an awesome voice reminds me of someone I can't name I can't remember. And there's a whole bunch of funny songs if there was like a medic there's like a metal filter joke song and with a one about oh Jesus that was a great Did you listen to it? Oh Lord one

Jessamyn 3:02 probably I think I've listened up I think I'm pretty much caught up on metal filter music.

mathowie 3:07 But I was yeah, the music so I was surprised we got like probably 20 songs here 20 songs

Jessamyn 3:15 was it Chuck Darwin who made like there's a playlist of all the metal filter challenge will just want to listen to them start to finish if you

mathowie 3:22 just click on the tag you get the 24 of them right now. I'll have to come up with a two tag I don't think I have two tags working so that we can go like mi fi challenge plus water just to get that one challenges stuff

Jessamyn 3:37 it's it's not working in music it's working in the rest of the site.

mathowie 3:40 I don't know if I ever made that work let me see plus

Jessamyn 3:43 I think it works in asked me

mathowie 3:45 yeah it doesn't work you'd have big nasty air I'll wow that is a weird air I'll get PB to fix that one. Yeah, I'll make it work so that we can just say here here's challenge number one's music in the future. I almost feel like we need sort of a blog for the front of me five music

Jessamyn 4:06 I think he should get cortex right on that.

mathowie 4:09 Yeah, well yeah, my plan from a long time ago is to have some sort of like MIDI meta talk over on the right side like the last three posts to it. And it would just be people talking about you know, what instrument and what recording software should they use or stuff like hey, we need a new theme for the challenge or here's a wrap up of the previous challenge

Jessamyn 4:30 or I need a bass player to help me lay down a track for this

mathowie 4:33 Yeah, I think collaborations is really big with music especially when you're making on your computer and there's dudes on computers across the land. I'd be more than happy to do a you know drums for you or something so

Jessamyn 4:45 and ladies on computer pay now. Sorry.

mathowie 4:50 I left my mouth I thought I knew I shouldn't have said it. And then what else? Oh the party.

Jessamyn 4:58 Very excited about the party. already, it looks like we're gonna have about the right amount of people coming, which I was a little worried about.

mathowie 5:05 Yeah, I couldn't tell if 20 It felt like we had to say something. And I figured why don't I just cast the widest net possible? And see if we're getting 200 people that want to go or not, but it looks like it's pretty good. Like maybe 50 say they're definitely going to come. And 30 Or like maybe, right, perfect. I think 50 would be like, pack in the place. I mean, technically, we can fit 100 at once. Fire Code is like 100. Right? Yeah. 100 125 If you've ever been there, it's kind of I can't imagine 125 people in there. That'd be shoulder to shoulder. Yeah, 50 would be fine. It's a pretty Yeah, it's not that big of a place. I mean, yeah. The funny thing is I I just wanted to do a party. It's all started at South by Southwest this previous year. And I was like sitting at Yahoo party, and I guess it was upcoming throwing it. So Leonard and the Bay over there, the upcoming creators, they're sitting there. I'm like, How was this party cost? And they're like, oh, you know, y'all who's paying for it. They looked into it. There's only a few grand and I was like, This is insane. There's like hundreds of people here all these free drinks. And it's only a couple grand and you can like kind of write it off is what I read in the textbook.

Jessamyn 6:23 Right? You're like I spend that much money on iPhones.

mathowie 6:27 So yeah, and then Google had a party for a blogger. And I think their bill was like five grand. And this was like 500 people drinking

Jessamyn 6:35 like, I've been to Google parties before. They are crazy.

mathowie 6:38 Yeah. And I was like, gosh, this I mean, if I could, you know, throw a little shindig for a couple grand that's, you know, I can completely write off anyway. You know, why the hell not? So? Yeah, I wasn't gonna pick a normal bar before but then when someone ground control, it's turning into like my 13 year old fantasy. Oh, really? Yeah. running around with beer drinking, playing any game you want. And there's donuts nearby? Like 25 Donuts, right? Yeah, Voodoo Donuts is right down the street, probably five.

Jessamyn 7:06 They have like, is it one of those places that has like cupholders on the pinball machines? When I was when I was when I was in Seattle, there was this place called shorties. I probably still is and like, that's where my my tattoo artists used to used to hang out and they had a whole bunch of pinball machines and hotdogs and drinks. And you could like put your beer in this cupholder while you play pinball. It was awesome. It was totally awesome. There's nothing like that out here.

mathowie 7:31 They probably do. I didn't even go to the pinball is like a pinball level. And there's a normal level of games. But yeah, they probably do that. I mean, yeah, I think it's nominally a bar. I don't know. It should be fun. It's fine.

Jessamyn 7:44 Remind me Do they have food? Nope. No food.

mathowie 7:48 No food. Doughnuts are nearby. I don't know. Dinner before you show up and drink your food. We'll just negate the drinking. So yeah. They said it was cool if 20 People want to smoke outside. I think the street is closed right now. I don't even know if it'll be open by then. So ideally, the street outside like the entire block is closed for construction. So it's like there's no cars to worry about and

Jessamyn 8:20 sort of fall stickball? Yeah, like

mathowie 8:22 outside street party. Just fine. smoke inside at all there really? So

Jessamyn 8:28 that's Portland. Right? I mean,

mathowie 8:30 I think there's some fire thing because it's, yeah, some sort of fire code. Even if it wasn't like a no smoking inside Portland. It's a private party. So technically, you know, you can break the law, but

Jessamyn 8:42 some laws not other laws. Are too. Yeah, the

mathowie 8:45 contract I signed is like no one under 21. No one smoking is like, just no way. No How so?

Jessamyn 8:52 Okay, smoking outside is all right. I think for most of the smokers. Yeah. And

mathowie 8:55 I said, you know how these things usually go. There's usually like 20 people mulling around smoking pretty much all night, you know, people coming and going from that pile of people. And they're like, Yeah, it's fine. It's not like any loitering ticket on the street. Especially if it's closed.

Jessamyn 9:10 Well, it looks like that shift is gonna come up and take attractive pictures of all of us. Yes,

mathowie 9:14 it'll be very hard. There'll be very dark in there. So that's gonna be a challenge. But that's all he does. So I'm sure he can make it work.

Jessamyn 9:22 I think you will. Although, you know, you saw the Denver meetup photos. I don't even think he was at that meetup. And those people look well lit and attractive, too. So.

mathowie 9:30 So if I had a nice flash, I, yeah, who knows? Um, I think we're gonna get cortex or somebody to do a playlist for an iPod or something.

Jessamyn 9:41 playlists for an iPod? What?

mathowie 9:43 For the audio for the you can play any music we want. We could be playing metal filter music and music we like and shit. Oh,

Jessamyn 9:52 nice. Well, I'll definitely chip in on that. If if cortex is feeling a little overwhelmed.

mathowie 9:57 Yeah. Oh, there is like a tiny little stage there. Somebody could play if they wanted to, but I don't think he wanted the pressure. And plus it'd be weird like in the middle of video games like

Jessamyn 10:08 there's your friend in a band.

mathowie 10:09 Yeah everyone Shep Shep Shep. Shep Shep. Okay, play acoustic songs. Like yeah, it kind of kills the energy or something. I don't know.

Jessamyn 10:19 I told you right. I think I'm gonna go see Ludwig van playing tomorrow in Brattleboro.

mathowie 10:23 Oh, sweet. crash at your house.

Jessamyn 10:27 I don't know. He says there's seven people in the band. And I was like, Well, you know, I've got like three guestrooms so whatever. So not sure if so I'll take lots of

mathowie 10:35 love to see what the hell I mean, have you heard the CD? It's, um, I think he's a music major. The there's lots of layering. There's freakin cellos and tubas and shit and rock music like I seven people in the band isn't a surprise. I can't imagine what that looks like.

Jessamyn 10:53 No, I bet it's gonna be great. And it's at this like not super big place in Brattleboro. So you know, the it's, it's, it's a schlep to see live music here. So I'm looking forward to having like a really good excuse and a reason to go down south.

mathowie 11:06 And I helped him with his website.

Jessamyn 11:08 I know, I thought it looks great. It's a nice looking website.

mathowie 11:12 Some other metaphor to remember actually designed it for him. It's beautiful. I just helped him integrate Flickr and blogs and crap to it.

Jessamyn 11:19 Mr. 2.0?

mathowie 11:22 Where is he? There's New York rattle borro at this final show.

Jessamyn 11:28 I know. I told him he can just stay here all summer. Who cares?

mathowie 11:32 I told him, tell him to go to the party. He should be coming out here this summer. So Thomas next week, I will be a bit short of notice. What else? Party?

Jessamyn 11:49 What are your agenda? You wanted to talk about travel? So yeah.

mathowie 11:52 So if you log in with, actually, if you change your theme to the regular one, you can see

Jessamyn 12:01 why do I have to change my team to the regular one,

mathowie 12:03 just as you want to see how it sort of looks to most people. So travel filter.

Jessamyn 12:13 That will head it looks really nice. Yeah, it's not so bad.

mathowie 12:15 What I guess travel filter, people have been talking about people been asking about for last two or three years like, gosh, it'd be great to have some sort of travel resource site of some sort. And nobody could really come up with a plan of like, Should we be reviewing hotels for each other? Should we just be dropping tips to each other? Right, right, right. And I sort of had like a brainstorming session with JJ G. Jesse, a good friend. And he had sort of said, you know, why don't you tweet out the AskMe Metafilter Travel section, which is super useful whenever he travels and super use right for me.

Jessamyn 13:01 I use it all the time. I mean, I travel all the time. And it's totally helpful for me. Yeah. And

mathowie 13:05 I usually just go askme.medical.com/tag/city, I'm going to you know, and I'll get five questions that are semi useful or fairly useful. I found a lot of great stuff that way. So we we looked at what can we do with questions. And we brought in all we imported all the existing travel questions have ever been asked about 3000 questions, which was a huge project. Yeah. And about a week we geocoded every single one that had something to do with the city. So we are using Yahoo's API Maps API to get a latitude and longitude back from whatever someone's asking a question about. Okay. So then we've come up with a whole location based, grouping every question. So you can look at Maui, look at all of Hawaii, and look at all the United States. And you sort of get these home pages of every question ever about a place and we've got these categories of, I guess they're stuck with the categories, a top level categories. At the top level, we have like, these are just four buckets, or three buckets, every question fits into and then something else. So there's where to go. Probably 10% of the questions are like,

Jessamyn 14:22 I want to go to a beach. I have $1,000,

mathowie 14:25 right. It's like, it's winter. I live in the north and I want to be in the South. Where should I go? Or I'm a grad student. I get out in June, I don't have a lot of money. What should I do summer to

Jessamyn 14:34 21 year old girls want to go on spring break.

mathowie 14:37 So where to go? Is pretty good with that. And when we were vague about the location of something, we would often toss it nowhere to go people would be like, I want to be around Idaho ish. And you know, where should it what things should I see in Montana or Idaho or Wyoming? We would just toss those and where to go because they don't What about

Jessamyn 14:57 road trip questions like I'm going from x two y what should I see along the way?

mathowie 15:02 Yeah, that would be there. Yeah, usually that would go and where to go. And then the travel smart was sort of the Travel Tips catch all so rental car. Yeah. How do I get the best plane flight to, you know, Europe this summer? What time should I buy the ticket? What kind of carry on bag should I take? If I have a toddler? Like stuff like that? Uh, huh. Destinations was sort of everything that has anything to do with the location.

Jessamyn 15:27 I'm going to Austin, what do I do for barbecue?

mathowie 15:31 Yeah. And so we broke Jesse's great in that he came up with everything you could possibly do. In NHLers, New York. When you think about a place, there's only like five things you ever do there that covers everything. And I was kind of amazed it didn't sound right to me. You go

Jessamyn 15:52 look at stuff you go eat, you have to stay somewhere, you have to figure out how to get around.

mathowie 15:56 So he came up with getting there, you gotta get there getting around, like, how do I get a cab in blank? Right? Where to stay? Like, there's so many hotel questions? Where do I eat? And then what do I do? What do I do is pretty much the most popular one in any city chair. And it pretty much covers everything we use. We sat here and hand categorized 3000 posts, and everything pretty much falls into those. And then the other top level category was trip reports. So instead of, or in addition to just you know, having q&a sort of format that we're used to, I figured we kind of like if you've gone somewhere and you want to tell everyone about it, we sort of have like a an outlet for that. And we're actually right now working on some code to link your previous questions to your that's what

Jessamyn 16:54 I was just gonna say, be like, Oh, dude, I totally went and that barbecue place rocks or sucks, or that hotel is closed? Awesome.

mathowie 17:04 Yeah, the thing I had in mind was this trip I took to Maui last December. But I asked a question before I went into and I read all the really the questions before I went so.

Jessamyn 17:14 Well, my trip to Alabama, I got tons of good advice from Metafilter. for that.

mathowie 17:19 Yeah. So we're gonna work on a way where like, I can say, thanks to the advice of my previous question. Here's how the trip went. And also have the previous question linked to my trip. Like, right both ways. Yeah. So when someone finds it, they go, oh, yeah, leave this person put it me give some closure. And I don't know, it's just pretty cool.

Jessamyn 17:38 We got some closure asked Metafilter thing too, at some point.

mathowie 17:42 Yeah. So this is a sort of way to introduce closure into the world, that was pretty good. We're also working on a Flickr and other image sort of way to associate like, here's, yeah, here's a gallery of images from my trip. So I associated like a Flickr set with my trip. And we just haven't written the written the code to the trip reports are weird, because they take a lot of work, you're basically writing an essay or a story of your trip, whatever you want. So we're thinking of ways to highlight those in a special way. Since it's kind of it takes a lot more work than just like, hey, where do I get some good food in Cincinnati?

Jessamyn 18:20 Right. Well, there could be a nice sidebar, you know, new trip reports this, that and the other and some people who are totally into it, too, you know, we've got a lot of Chatty Cathy's on the site, it would just love to tell you about whatever.

mathowie 18:33 I like the closure aspect. Like I would love to hear how a trip went well, after people solicited advice, or especially some of these exotic trips to India and stuff. Like, I'd love to see great pictures and stories from India.

Jessamyn 18:48 Sometimes people have like these crazy logistical problems, like I have to get from A to B and I have like three hours and you know, half people who answer like, Fuck it, it can't be done and the other half are like No, dude, you can totally like I want to know, I want to know did they make it like

mathowie 19:04 what happened to Jackson motorcycle?

Jessamyn 19:07 Right? There's this rickshaw driver asked for

mathowie 19:11 a friend who went to China after a college had just the craziest, craziest stories. And that's the kind of thing I would love to see. So, yeah, it's about 80% feature complete. I definitely have zillions of display bugs to work out. But if you try if you try out the destination thing, I found the whole site works as an amazing like information retrieval service. We're really starting to get the search aspect right with this because the data so structured with locations, so right on the front page, there's a find the destination box, if you just put city and state or city and country, you can try city.

Jessamyn 19:54 We're looking at the little tag cloud right now.

mathowie 19:57 We've added a whole bunch of logic back to like, if you just put in something like Springfield, like, you know, that can be anywhere in any I mean, several states can be several 50. So, we return, we do some stuff to, you know, check with Yahoo and return what we know about that place, if we have previous questions about that place, or it grabs, you know what cities it might think it is. But if you're just playing like San Francisco, you'll get like, you know, just everything ever nicely categorized.

Jessamyn 20:30 Does it do a zip lookup, oh, it's doing

mathowie 20:33 street text lookup with Yahoo Maps, where it's guessing,

Jessamyn 20:37 do is IP lookup or an airport lookup? Well,

mathowie 20:41 it does. Every city in the world sort of has like a longitude and latitude associated with it. And we're doing some stuff. It's all stored in the database where we can do nearby stuff. So when you're on a city page, I'm looking at San Francisco. There's the current weather. It's Fahrenheit in America. And if you're looking at international city at Celsius, we didn't want to have to worry about, you know, settings and shit. There's a little draggable Google Map and we grabbing the last three most interesting photos that are creative commons license in a loose way. So that's totally right. Right, right. totally kosher. And then if you notice, if you jump into any question, there's nearby questions listed that are related at the bottom, which is totally cool. Yeah, like fun for discovery stuff. You can click on there's a, like a breadcrumb trail of you can go up in your locations to like, go from San Francisco to California. Yeah. And that's every California question ever. And then you can go up to all the United States, we found that like lots of cities, mostly Americans on the site,

Jessamyn 21:47 they'll be like, tell me about Italy.

mathowie 21:50 Or I'm going to Costa Rica. But then when they're talking about America, it's always like, I'm going to Brooklyn, New York, like where should I eat? But so we had to come up with this varying levels of detail down to the city, and then out to the country.

Jessamyn 22:04 So very sophisticated, very sophisticated.

mathowie 22:07 I just noticed, and I was looking at an Egypt question. We have some technical stuff to worry about. There's so many API's built on the site. And it's like House of Cards of mashups. If Yahoo or Google or flickers API's go down, like the page loading hangs, and like, we can we cache all the stuff for like, at least a day, I think so I just pulled up Cairo, or I just went to the Egypt page. And if you go to it, it'll load instantly. Because you. Yeah, it took about like 30 seconds to pull up the actual photos from Flickr. And then the weather, I think that's updated hourly. But we noticed yesterday, the Flickr API went down and some page, some pages would just timeout. So we have to figure out a way to do a disaster recovery. That's not so bad. I

Jessamyn 23:00 have like some stunt pictures or something like or just have,

mathowie 23:03 you just haven't failed gracefully. So just it's blank or something

Jessamyn 23:07 if fail. Here's this adorable picture of Matt Howie,

mathowie 23:10 hi, hello, sorry, working on the server,

Jessamyn 23:15 some lol admin or something.

mathowie 23:17 And I guess the last thing from an admin standpoint, we have to figure out where travel filter fits in with AskMe edit filter. If we just shunt the travel stuff from last minute filter, if we display them in both places,

Jessamyn 23:31 I if he IP interested in knowing what people had to say, like I'd love to see him in both places, or just have like a setting like don't show me travel filter, show me travel filter, because I think giving people another destination may be pushing it. On the other hand,

mathowie 23:45 you know, specialized information, you get a lot like more stuff out of it.

Jessamyn 23:50 But like if you're like just just some regular dude, you're not going to like read travel filter, but if somebody is going to Indiana, and that's where you live, yeah, you're gonna totally help them. And so it'd be cool if that question at least appeared in AskMe edit filter so that you would know to go answer it on travel. You know what I mean?

mathowie 24:06 Yeah, like maybe they'll this new questions will stream into AskMe edit filter, but the link will go to travel filter. I

Jessamyn 24:12 think that's perfect. I think that's a perfect way to do it. Yeah. Or have something in the sidebar, like locations asked about on travel filter or something. Just something so readers have asked me to filter who may not be travelers, but who may live places where they have local knowledge. Could you know, jump up with an answer. I'm always surprised that like people I don't see is like regular AskMe Metafilter sort of super fans. But like if somebody talks about like, Oh, I'm going to San Diego like I was one time, you know, Lion index is like, I totally live there, blah. And, you know, he might not read travel filter, but he'll totally help out anybody who's going to San Diego.

mathowie 24:49 Yeah, that was we were thinking of like having home cities letting people say that in their profiles and giving them like a feed of that location. Should so like you ascribe to the San Diego California page, and any new questions will pop up in your RSS reader. Right. Well,

Jessamyn 25:08 that's interesting, because then I would subscribe probably to the Vermont page, because it's not for me. It's not that big. You know, I could answer a Brattleboro URL or a Burlington question. Yeah. There's only 10 of us really, I think,

mathowie 25:20 yeah. And I think travel, you know, the front page isn't like as wildly different as AskMe Metafilter. It's not like you would just hang out and read random travel questions, but works is an awesome resource. Right? It'll make for fun reading. But I don't think it's that it's not as addictive as sort of AskMe edit filters, just sort of reading because everything's, you know, fairly similar. Travel. I'm traveling trauma.

Jessamyn 25:44 Pregnant in Cairo.

mathowie 25:48 What are the rules about? Yeah, not really travel questions. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, most of the stuff is pretty mundane, like, how do I get from A to B? So yeah,

Jessamyn 25:59 what did I get from the airport to the blah, yeah, we'll probably have to

mathowie 26:03 have, you know, a page of suggested like, you know, if you love a place or know all about a place, you should probably subscribe to that place or bookmark it and check it once in a while. Yeah, well, some things work out. I think it's pretty close. We've worked out for a month or two. It's really nice. It's getting pretty close to done. We still have to do an import of the last few travel stuff. And then lots of think of the integration with AskMe Metafilter.

Jessamyn 26:30 I think I get the plain style sheet working for it. Yeah. What percentage of people use the plain style sheet compared to the regular style sheet?

mathowie 26:38 I could, I could actually tell you that with a quick database lookup, but I haven't done that query. I can tell you later today. Great, I would guess 10%. Yeah, it's just, it's usually the last thing I do. When I design something, I'll go, Hey, let me change templates and then bring the CSS up to date. The other problem is, all sites use the exact same CSS sheet for the plain text. Right? For the other ones, like I have a custom sheet for every single one. So music can be completely different have new classes and tags and stuff. Which sounds crazy. It's smarter to do it with the plain text on one file, but then it's harder to maintain down the road. Right. So that's pretty much travel filter. I would say people listening, go ahead and look at it that travel that filter, metal filter.com. Currently, if you leave a comment there, so I can show up anywhere else. It's just sort of reap so far, we've just sort of repeated everything. We just pulled in everything from AskMe edit filter, we did it on June 12. It looks like we just pulled an extra you

Jessamyn 27:53 put it on people's profile pages. You know, I noticed that people's job posts aren't linked on their profile.

mathowie 27:59 I still never did that. Yeah, put it on the list. Yeah, I have to put travel and job past stuff on there. So oh, so travel that metaphor.com Don't bother making a meta talk post about it. We'll do that when it's really done done and ready for people to hammer away at it. But feel free to email us use the contact form, or just send it to matter how he.com And you know, there's

Jessamyn 28:32 totally broken, there's lots

mathowie 28:33 of glaring bugs, like the sidebars are sort of an afterthought in a lot of places that popular tag clouds and stuff. We don't even I don't know if they're even working yet. But um, we have to come up with a custom we haven't done the custom RSS feeds for every subsection yet but there's lots of little things we still need to build and some display crap to do but it's sort of they're mostly they're mostly working so kick the tires.

Jessamyn 28:58 Yeah, for mostly working.

mathowie 29:01 And I put Yeah, at the top. This is totally Alpha.

Jessamyn 29:04 I saw that little warning. We know it's broken.

mathowie 29:08 Totally should get that point across. Um, so I guess we can do a recap so vast metal filter, metal filter.

Jessamyn 29:19 Yeah. When was the last podcast three weeks ago?

mathowie 29:21 What was the date? Three weeks ago? June 15.

Jessamyn 29:31 See because my favorite metal filter posts from like a while ago anyhow was like the gamers and their avatar posts which was on the 17th of June. Yeah. Just missed the last podcast.

mathowie 29:43 Okay, perfect. Oh, do you metal filter was my metal filter list of favorites. Okay. Gamers. Oh, yeah. Yeah, half the pictures were similar. The other half for the eye. opposite and the opposite. The opposite is what I thought they'd all be. You know, they were very funny that kids that were muscular dudes in other worlds,

Jessamyn 30:10 right dudes that were ladies. Yeah, I mean, it was very Sesame Street in that way, like the same different the same different you know, there was those girls who dressed up like they're, like their avatars I just sort of liked the pictures, you know, like, it was just a neat little like, great. Hey, look at this great one link one link post.

mathowie 30:33 Yeah, it was a well done. It'd be an awesome like photography art project. It's something you'd probably see linked on metal filter. But it was actually like some Businessweek article or something like it was

Jessamyn 30:47 actually it was at the New York Times.

mathowie 30:48 Okay. Yeah, that's right. Fancy, very fancy. And I think a lot of gamers actually hated it. I saw some Live Journal or something. They were like poopoo in the people like to make fun of the fat kids who thought their muscular and other worlds or something. Or also, I think people were mocking the people in Second Life looking exactly like they do in normal life like, going well, what did these people do? Like, do they have no imagination?

Jessamyn 31:17 I tried to make my second life avatar look just like me. And I quit in disgust and never never went back. I was like, Ah, this shirt looks terrible on me. That was that was as far as I got

mathowie 31:29 assigned. On the second life once walked around, it was too difficult. I quit and I started getting spammed, like once a week ever since then.

Jessamyn 31:37 No shit, really. I've never gotten spam from it. But like, there's a lot of I've told you like librarians who are in Second Life. And I keep trying to like, find the they're there. But yeah, I always wander around that I'm like, I miss my real life.

mathowie 31:50 Once every two weeks, I'll just get an email like CASAS potamus wants to give you a duel or something. I'll be like, Ah, god, like, I'm not even interested.

Jessamyn 32:02 Because you're there like under your real name or something people

mathowie 32:04 don't know they make you make up these dumb names.

Jessamyn 32:08 My name is Jessamyn in Second Life.

mathowie 32:12 There's some like they forced me to pick some like Victorian ridiculous name. Like

Jessamyn 32:18 there's only some last names you can pick. So like everybody with the last name Linden is like somebody that works at Second Life. But then yeah, so you could have been like Matt, Howie? Whatever the fuck yeah.

mathowie 32:29 I'm trying to think I was looking at the most favorited over the last three weeks, and Johnson is killing it. 123456 of the posts.

Jessamyn 32:40 And some of those are old. I think I think people like one on one like a Johnson fest.

mathowie 32:46 These aren't that old. These are all dudes.

Jessamyn 32:48 I swear I saw the Neutrino Observatory.

mathowie 32:51 Oh, my favorite one was the let me go through where the heck am I? Oh, the chest posts is one of the most popular. And I think that's mostly for the awesome story. Three Blind Mice told

Jessamyn 33:05 I cannot connect to this website at all. What is going on? Chest? No, I can't.

mathowie 33:12 Can't pull up metal filter? No. Let me see. Can you get it should come back in a few seconds.

Jessamyn 33:21 It's just doing its little J run its back.

mathowie 33:25 Just refresh that system. A little 30 seconds.

Jessamyn 33:30 I guess there was another neutrino post that I was confusing Johnson's latest neutrino posts with

mathowie 33:36 there's a lot of neutrinos, they're very small, you might miss them. Whereas the chessboard was one of the most popular. It's the most popular thing over the last three weeks. I just posted in the Skype window. Okay, which has the awesome chess story of The Three Blind Mice saying that he used to play a little bit of chess and then you ran into an old friend who said he played a little chess. Oh, I've

Jessamyn 34:06 read that story. That was great. Yeah, that's essentially

mathowie 34:08 my experience with chess is that I just sort of liked it more than checkers. You know, it was like a 13 year old and I played a little and then a friend of mine like read books on chess and like new every board and every pattern. And it was no fun after that.

Jessamyn 34:24 You know, that's the way I was with go. Like my grandfather was like a big go hotshot. And I was like, Oh, I'm probably good at this. I've got his brain sort of. But yeah, that whole like memory, like keeping track of the boards and the strategy thing.

mathowie 34:37 Yeah. It's remembering. I mean, the human brain is good at recognizing patterns. But when you read this story, it's pretty much insane that somebody would remember you know, every championship board play for the last 20 years and be able to like, see it happening in front of them and recognize is just like total We insane

Jessamyn 35:02 right? And use it for you know, oh, and now I know this about how you play. Yeah. I mean, it's weird like with scrabble I can totally like pull that stuff out being like, Oh, I totally know you know where this game is going and how to do this but chess No, go. No, forget it.

mathowie 35:17 Yeah. Yeah. Crazy people. I'm trying to think of all my other favorites the best five second video on the internet. I actually love the squirrel close up.

Jessamyn 35:29 Did you see that? I put that at the end of the bat Howie OCD video that I made of your

mathowie 35:33 iPhone. Oh, I didn't even watch it. I didn't watch it. The very, very end I think. I thought I thought I heard it my headphones. And I was like, it was already gone. I looked over.

Jessamyn 35:45 Yeah, you know? Yeah.

mathowie 35:48 While something really stupid and really silly is super awesome. And that was it. I don't know why it just crossed some threshold for me. It was amazing.

Jessamyn 35:57 And people made like little animated GIFs of it. And it was hilarious. And the one with the little mustache I think was my favorite. Yeah, and it's great. I you know, it encouraged me to go YouTube and learn how to download, learn how to download videos so that I could remix them and re upload

mathowie 36:16 them. Oh, did you use like tube sock or something? No, I

Jessamyn 36:20 used some Firefox Grease Monkey something or other? I don't even know. It's some Firefox.

mathowie 36:28 How do you edit FLV videos in it? Oh,

Jessamyn 36:31 you've got to get a converter. I don't remember what the converter was. You go to Google and you type FLV converter, and there's little converters, and then you convert it to M 40 or whatever. And then, and then put it in iMovie. Yeah, I mean, that's how I grabbed that video of you two. Sounds like must figure out.

mathowie 36:47 I just made that video for Dan says Dan booty AK who had an iPhone. He was awake. It was five in the morning in New York. Stadium in New York. I was like, this isn't right, right. And he's like, What are you talking about? He's just he was like, was it looked like was it doing when he lashes? Yeah, I'm like, here, I'll just like go stand in front of the computer and record it with an eyesight for 30 seconds. Upload it and show you that it is broken.

Jessamyn 37:16 It was very funny. I think what we've seen it now

mathowie 37:19 is that Jesus,

Jessamyn 37:21 it's something crazy like that.

mathowie 37:23 I just put things up and I leave YouTube for a while. Never come back. And I'll come back. And notice. Like I said the comments to be like, only I approve them and they'll be like 200 things you know, supposed to approve, and most of them are stupid. So

Jessamyn 37:39 yeah, well, you don't you don't let people post response videos.

mathowie 37:43 I hate that. Yeah. I purposely don't do that. Because if you do anything, it's popular. You get hundreds and hundreds of people are just like, hey, look at my video. That's neat. It's just self promotion. It's kind of annoying. Shameless.

Jessamyn 37:58 I was I always said my response video. Perfect. Perfect.

mathowie 38:02 Yes, actually. Yeah, I want that but a way to block out the dumb one. So,

Jessamyn 38:08 but like 1000 people saw the stupid one that I did. And yours was even stupid. And I think it was seen by like 9000 people

mathowie 38:14 who the hell link to it? I haven't looked at it a long time. You too.

Jessamyn 38:20 The hell 20,000 views 20,000 views.

mathowie 38:23 Terrible. No good. Whoa, this is yours. I'm looking at the hell's mine. 20,000 shit. Yeah. Where's the like the little like people who link this? I don't see it. They usually keep track of

Jessamyn 38:44 it's underneath. There's like five links. Let me say,

mathowie 38:46 Oh, I'm in like the new. I'm in the new version of the page. So it doesn't even list that. Holy cow. 300 some blog

Jessamyn 38:58 96 most viewed this week.

mathowie 39:02 Oh, there isn't that many people who have left a comment that I haven't approved yet. So that's good. I can't believe 20,000 doors. And me your friends. Yeah. What is this Dutch the most popular thing was? I think some Dutch blog linking to me. Yeah. De Herbrand Barum iPhones login Ubers. Like this German now let's Dutch. Crazy beta be great, right? Right. They're just around doing a roundup of all interesting YouTube videos about the iPhone Whoopi Goldberg violin.

Jessamyn 39:38 And I went from with my friend down to the mall and he got his iPhone and like every picture I put up on Flickr with an iPhone in it I got a whole bunch of people like her I'm part of this iPhone group and add the iPhone picture of your iPhone to the iPhone. I was like, Whatever do you like my house

mathowie 39:57 look or added a feature so If people can stop doing that, which was like,

Jessamyn 40:03 well, so you can add a picture to a group without having to join the group.

mathowie 40:06 And you can just grab like, you could grab like someone's without having to ask them to put it in the group. Like there's some sort of collection thing where they don't have any cool. Yeah, cuz I was constantly telling the Flickr staff I can't stand it when people do this. And I always delete the comments from my own streams, just because they're freaking annoying.

Jessamyn 40:32 Public Domain photos.

mathowie 40:33 Yeah, that was a I think it's a cool idea. And a zillion favorites, public domain photos someone did on? Yeah, came from projects. I don't like the interface. There's like, and, you know, it's public domain photos. And people are like, there's like, made a directory and slap some Google ads on it. So you know, make a couple bucks or something. But I kind of wish I kind of wish there were like previews or something. So it was more easily browsable. But I find them constantly having to, from this public domain photo site, dive down five levels, and then you get dumped into Photos?

Jessamyn 41:09 is a question that comes up all the time and asked me to filter though, like, I need a public domain photo of something for my something. And this basically just takes all the links to like government photos that are public domain because they're government photos, and then puts them all in one place. Yeah, I mean, with a with a slicker interface, it would be amazing. Yeah, just having a place to go to Yeah,

mathowie 41:29 it's better than nothing. But I think someone could really knock it out of the park with like little thumbnails everywhere. Thumbnails and just dumped you out to like some gov site. And in the end, when you finally get to, like, I want to photo the Great Lakes, because I picked water, and then I picked Great Lakes. And then they'll dump you out to a photo gallery on a gov site.

Jessamyn 41:50 Right. That's my last my last favorite. My last favorite for and it was just like, whatever, two days ago, yesterday, the true story of the Japanese sea man who he floated across the Pacific and wound up in North America. ever got home, watch his whole life. It's amazing. It's an amazing story. The site is like, I mean, it's just like this. Like one person who did a site dedicated to this guy's life. And then there's some other links that switch Sonic, found to attitude, but it was back when like Japan was basically a closed country. And so they even got this guy back to Japan. And the Japanese were like, No, fuck it. You can't come in. Like he was like off the coast of Japan in a boat, and they're trying to like repatriate him. And Japan's like, nope, forgot it. Wow, I

mathowie 42:43 totally missed this. Well, it was like

Jessamyn 42:45 yesterday. I mean, it was it was really recently amazing post. Yeah, and just fascinating story. Like, I read the whole thing, and was just like, this was

mathowie 42:54 so super recent. Amazing one, just like yesterday or this morning. Got the 1904 Olympics. That was crazy, did you? I did not see that. That's probably still on the front page. This brings to mind like super crazy stories from history that I just didn't know existed where the hell have they actually had these hurt is the before the Olympics, the actual so the Olympics happen, they're really crappy. And it's like the World's Fair in St. Louis. But they also did this savages demo before it where they had like pygmies and and like you know, people they sort of brought in by ship had to like compete.

Jessamyn 43:39 Huge thing to do at the turn of the century. Yeah, it was like this weird.

mathowie 43:43 Like, they had to like, climb the grease pole competition, like all these fake ridiculous non sport things. They just make you know, Aboriginals and the Indians do we have a

Jessamyn 43:55 greased pole competition that fight every every year in my hometown.

mathowie 44:00 And they call it great fun for savages that was sort of the savages competition

Jessamyn 44:05 was remember this was about the same time when the Bronx Zoo actually had a pygmy exhibit. That that Otto Banga, there's a great story about Otto Benga, the pygmy that lived in the in the Bronx Zoo. Yeah, it was just like crazy stuff around the turn of the century. Like when everybody gets nostalgic for like, oh, turn of the century it's like

mathowie 44:24 yeah, oh, topology days. That's what they call it anthropology days, like and they had all these like American Indians, and they had these, you know, pygmies from Africa and people from the Philippines and South American Indians and stuff like doing all these crazy ridiculous stuff.

Jessamyn 44:43 And the Harry i News.

mathowie 44:46 I'm trying to think there's one other favorite see I saved here.

Jessamyn 44:53 I like to title that post to the Olympics. Best forgotten.

mathowie 44:57 Yeah. Oh, yes, my Johnson zone. Awesome the probably boiling material, the forest taking over the roller coasters old amusement park opened in 1878 and closed in 1978. Because no one ever attended it. And it's just been sitting there vacant in somewhere in the Ohio forest. Someone went out and visit and has this huge, like, Flickr set of just climbing over, you know, trees going through tracks and stuff. That's just like, awesome, fascinating. detritus, you know, here's what the future will be like when we're all dead.

Jessamyn 45:34 Nature bats last. They always, that's what my dad, my dad always says.

mathowie 45:43 Well, it's totally like, you know, if every human was eradicated tomorrow, like, in 50 years, you wouldn't even notice. Like, there just be hardly any little bits of human crap left around the trees.

Jessamyn 45:59 Oh, holy crap. I'm looking at these pictures.

mathowie 46:02 Yeah, yeah. Well, cool.

Jessamyn 46:04 That's the question that comes up on AskMe Metafilter. Every now and again, like, Okay, everybody dies today.

mathowie 46:11 Yeah.

Jessamyn 46:13 What happens? This is great. That's a that's a great photo. So

mathowie 46:20 yeah, there's a lot of interesting stuff about the New York City Subway, if trains didn't run through it, what they'd fill with water and destroy the streets. Like, within days, the whole thing would just collapse. I'm always fascinated by that, like architecture that needs humans. vacation houses rot like way faster than houses you live in.

Jessamyn 46:45 Tell me about it. I have a skunk problem at my house now. And like a wet basement problem, which they compound each other, right? Because your basement stays damp. And it just stinks. And and I'm just sort of like, Does this house require, like, exponentially more maintenance than I thought it did? You know,

mathowie 47:02 what always strikes me as weird that like humans, you know, there's people you'd think living in a house would be a bit of a tear would wear down the house. But opening the door doing air exchange actually, you know, decreases the amount of molds and stuff that would grow and, you know, someone walking across, you know, in and out of the front door will keep snow away. So wood won't rot. Like there's all sorts of weird things that happen is like it's a bit of a paradox to me to think that if you live in a house, it'll last longer. If you don't live in a house, it probably will fall apart on its own.

Jessamyn 47:37 Right, and we'll fill up with raccoons, at least at least around here.

mathowie 47:41 Raccoons, raccoons are like the kudzu vine of Vermont. And skunks. were surprised to switch gears to AskMe Metafilter.

Jessamyn 47:51 I think there's a clear in a way favorite from AskMe out of filter for the last couple weeks, which is what what are some good, somewhat dirty jokes suitable for telling to my grandma,

mathowie 48:03 I have to say going through it, that's an awesome one. But going through it, even the ones the person marked as the best are a little nuts for grandma. Like she thinks they need to be a bit more suggested. And you know, not to have the punch line be so explicit. I thought I wouldn't tell you half of these to my own grandmother's crazy.

Jessamyn 48:29 Grandma either. I mean, we had a like a variety show in town here. I don't know when it was over the over the winter sometime. And there were a lot of those kinds of like, raunchy, but suitable for all ages. I actually put it up on YouTube, like with people telling these like off color, but just not you know, they don't have fuck you as a punch line. You know, I'll have to sort of find it. I mean, I guess the the variety show used to be kind of like a weird minstrel show like, you know, 50 years ago and so there's that whole kind of you know, Mr. This and Mr. That telling each other these slightly off color jokes, and everybody in the audience is like, Ooh, you know, titillating.

mathowie 49:12 Man, but I guess it

Jessamyn 49:13 depends on your grandma, but people really, really liked really, really liked that post. Yeah, whatever. I enjoyed joke posts kind of anyhow.

mathowie 49:22 Yeah. And just anything with some weird set of limitations is always a fun mind challenge.

Jessamyn 49:28 Well, here's my arbitrary restriction. Yeah. And now

mathowie 49:31 work with it. Like yeah, what can I tell an eight year old that's really funny and not too nuts. Like, man, grandma. It's another good sort of limitation. But some of these are like, God, some of these jokes are like the punch line is and then he came all over her haha yeah, grandma, not so much with the sex orgasm jokes.

Jessamyn 49:58 Depends on the grandma. I guess, right? I guess? No, neither one of my grandmas would have been able to standard grade jokes. But my other one that I really liked on AskMe Metafilter, which was like a week and a half ago was another one of these like, awesome research questions. It was called, How do I find out about a murder? And it was basically like somebody who had relatives. I don't remember if the relative was involved, or I don't remember what let me say, family member was involved in a grisly murder. And I only found out about this recently, my family doesn't talk about it. You know, where do I start? I live, you know, 1500 miles away? And of course, no. Well, no, I mean, it was it was more obscure than that. So you have to know how to, like, look up like a 1950s newspaper in Lowell. And there was speech and yeah, yeah. But there's a whole bunch of people that are like, You should call these people, you should talk to these people. And the thing that was so awesome was the person who asked the question, like, did that stuff as you know, the question unfold, so he's like, I called this person and, and I did that thing. And I'm trying not to scroll on

mathowie 51:09 top of that your sister, I saw a comment, you're like, sister says, I spoke to a sergeant in the police. And he said,

Jessamyn 51:17 Oh, yeah, my sister works for the Massachusetts State Crime Lab. So I always ask her these questions, you know, that come up about like crime, and she always has really good information. And she was like, you can

mathowie 51:29 try? She said, like, go over the local agency archives.

Jessamyn 51:33 Yeah, but you can request a copy of the police report. But she also says, like, look, the police report from the 1950s is likely to be like, I mean, she says grisly, upsetting her insensitive, but I think what she does is like racist. You know, like, a lot of times like the police reports, they weren't really as cognizant that they were writing for the public. And so you read these things that are just totally inappropriate. But so yeah, the original poster comes back and then somebody found like, an article with a, with a picture of the person from from, from the LOL son in a Newspaper Archive, it was really cool.

mathowie 52:13 I found that narrative.

Jessamyn 52:15 And the guy showed the picture to his mom, and she totally recognized him. And

mathowie 52:20 that was the killer, or the guy who died.

Jessamyn 52:23 I think that was the killer. I don't, I don't exactly remember. Well, and the whole family, like never talks about it, because they're all flipped out. And it's like, bad history and whatever. And you know, people in the thread are like, Dude, don't worry about it. Like everybody's got crazy. You Boogie people in their, in their in their history.

mathowie 52:45 That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I

Jessamyn 52:48 thought it was. What did you see on AskMe Metafilter.

mathowie 52:51 Um, I was going through the popular favorites. And see, I was laughing at her to write in the row that were almost the exact same things. There's always a lot of, you know, life improvement advice or things, but two of them in a row, like, what's the new thing I should do? Every week for the summer and the other ones, I'm gonna challenge myself every week for a year to do something. They're both neck and neck and sort of popular favorites. Here's the 52 week challenge where they just do something that should better them for one week, like I'm gonna be a vegan for a week, or I'm gonna go like bake bread every day and give it to someone or I'm gonna go get up at 6am every day for a week.

Jessamyn 53:33 Is that been popular? Popular favorites? 30.

mathowie 53:36 Yeah. Those are the two they're almost the same. Because it's like, what can I do for one week that would learn about wine for one week or something?

Jessamyn 53:46 Go to a pro. Right, right, right. Yeah, the 92 favorites

mathowie 53:50 are tons of good advice. And the other awesome advice thread. I'd want to point out as the the give me the what's I mean, this is something that comes up every couple of months. Like what's the best financial advice you've ever received? Or, you know, a 40 year olds tell me what, you know, I should have known at 20 Because I'm 20 now and I'm not very good with money. There's just tons of great basic advice in this money thread and mostly centers around don't keep money on credit cards. Don't be an idiot.

Jessamyn 54:24 Right? What mistakes do I not make? Yeah, don't run up 10 grand on your credit cards if you want to do anything else. And what

mathowie 54:31 are some like guaranteed advice for like making a little money if you have extra money, which is like you know, use these index funds don't use these other kinds of funds.

Jessamyn 54:39 Compound Interest, right. Exactly. Exactly.

mathowie 54:44 Um, I think that's about it. Asked metaphors for me. What was the one you just pointed out? The one the one. Oh, okay. You're just pulling things. I was pulling it. Okay. Yeah, we were we were IRA. There's one funny that just came up this morning like a half hour ago hour ago, that had to celebrate George Bush's birthday tonight, ironically, had a party at the person's house.

Jessamyn 55:11 Oh, I saw that I was a little worried that was gonna turn into some total sum total

mathowie 55:15 mess. That's what I thought. But then I was reading the answers. They're all good and funny. They're all pretty funny.

Jessamyn 55:20 Oh, I remember the other one that I really liked. It was like an anonymous post. And I liked it both because it had interesting advice, but also because I always liked it when like little pockets of Metafilter that all have something in common, but you never think they have something in common all wind up chiming in in one thread. This was the what do you do with your life if you don't get married and have kids? Oh, yeah. Yeah, but it was totally like, sensible. It wasn't like, you know, it wasn't like, Oh, my God, you know, I'm freaking out. It was just like, so I had these goals. And now I think I have these other goals. But the thing

mathowie 55:55 that was funny about that was the person's like, in their early 20s. I know, I know, which is like, you know, I probably had some dark moments when I was 22. And I never thought I would love anybody. And that's ridiculous when you're 22. I mean, my, my first reaction was like, come on, you're like, 20? Yeah, like you, like nothing's planned until you're 2627 things will start to come into focus, you know, what your life is actually going to be like so.

Jessamyn 56:22 Right? Well, but people have like, lots of good advice. And it was all over the map. You know, there were certain people who are like, single and like not loving it, certain people who were single and loving it, certain people who had been single and loving it and then met somebody, and, you know, changed their outlook or the opposite. I just, I felt, I don't know, I felt like all the advice that people gave was, like, interesting and on topic. And yeah, anecdotally kind of kind of fascinating. At least, you know, for me personally.
