Rambling Amble #3: King of the Nerds Review

After watching the season finale of King of the Nerds on the Syfy channel, I had some definite thoughts on the show.  Some spoilers.  Good show, worth the watching.  Not perfect.  Lots of room for improvement in season 2.



Part of FlashCast #84, on the FlashPulp podcast.  I agree with Jrd.  Having a popular vote on the last episode makes it "President of the Nerds," not "King".

Rambling Amble #2: Vine Review

While taking my daily walk (which doesn't happen every day, but I try), had some thoughts on the new app, Vine.  Let's you record 6sec videos and post to their site and crosspost to Twitter and Facebook.

Since I had to make it a video to load it here, used some of the vids I made the other weekend while playing bingo in Alpine Oregon.  Tiny town, location of our Community Center, serving the southern part of the Benton County area.  Opening spot is a doodle I made on the Sketch Club app.  I was trying for blackberry vines as they cascade down a pine tree.  Happens lots around here.  Other pics were taken during this amble.


It's a great app, and if you have a device that can use it, I highly recommend it.  It's still a work in process, but I enjoy being on the ground floor of new stuff.

Also part of FlashCast #83, on the FlashPulp podcast.  Many great segments to listen to on the pod.

Rambling Amble #1: Robot Combat League

Watched the first episode of this new SyFy show the other day.  Was walking with the dogs and thought it be fun to record a review of it on my iPod with my new cool headset.

The picture in the movie I made from the audio is a little Sketch Club drawing from my iPad.  It's what I was doodling while watching the episode.  It's my interpretation of the fight.



Again, I can't just upload the plain audio.  Had to turn it into a video.  But that's ok.  Let's me share my doodle.

Update 1: You can also hear this as part of the FlashCast #82.  Part of the FlashPulp family of podcasts.

Update 2:  Since I like to record during my daily walk (ala Nathan Lowell), I'm going to call these recordings "Tibbi's Rambling Ambles From Oregon", or maybe just "Ramblings Ambles" for short.
