About this Episode
Rightio, this is Martin doing the show notes—not Jason! I may be absent from this recording (apologies) but you can be sure that I've used the notes as my own stream of thoughts in the first person. Enjoy!
Also, I'll be including a set of Jason's favourite punctuation marks, just to mess with the formatting a bit.
Already off the Rails 00:00:00
- Linear editing
- I was at a pre-booked show with my family at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre since we had to move recording times!
- Although I value to the use of public transport I don’t enjoy buses.
- THIS IS ALREADY ALL OVER THE PLACE.
Here's the first set! - (hyphen) – (en dash) — (em dash)
One Prime Plus 00:02:26
- Here’s the site to join!
- Insurance in Australia
- That link above isn't necessary; I just thought I'd waste your time.
Follow-up 00:03:59
... (ellipsis) ...
Hipod 00:05:01
- iPod Hi-Fi
- Peer pressure?! I call bullshit, Andrew!
- WiiM Pro and Plus
- Jason’s solution: MORE WiiM! 😂
- Andrew doesn’t know which room he’s in.
- iPod shuffle
- Why has this article not been updated to include Andrew’s iPod Hi-Fi?
- Jason: ‘very easy build’ 😂
- ‘Thingamabob’
- 🏃💨 🏡 RUN AWAY!
- Example image of dock adapters
- AU$150?! That’s a great deal!
- DO NOT TAKE IT TO THE BEACH.
- DO NOT MOUNT IT ON YOUR BIKE.
- DO NOT LISTEN TO JASON.
; (semicolon, the most underrated punctuation mark) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Counter Chat! 00:16:09
- I would love mobile clips of Andrew speaking in loud takeaway shops immediately after his Counter Chat experiences.
- I’ve always thought that the decision to include the word ‘log’ in a brand name to do with food service was a poor one.
- Andrew’s tour of Australia (for Jason) sounds like it would be different from Martin’s tour. 🤔
- Crocodile Dundee
- Why is Andrew seemingly always from the South when impersonating Jason?
RSS Servers 00:23:16
- Inoreader
- I care about RSS readers but I accept that no-one else in my life wants to hear about them.
- Yes, read fewer feeds. Be purposeful!
- FreshRSS
- FIVE-TIME ARCADIA JUNE CHAMPION ERICMWALK HAS INFILTRATED THE SHOW!
‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ WHO LOVES THE INTERROBANG‽
What Do You Call the Game? 00:28:32
- What on Earth is Jason talking about?
- Oh, I get it now. Before hearing what Jason thinks the correct US version is, I’d say, ‘Paper, Scissors, Rock!’ (not the last word first)
- AHA! Despite the fact that there’ll be way more American articles online with the opposite order, ‘paper’ should be first because it rolls off the tongue as a chant, which facilitates easy counting into the battle while you shake your clenched fist, rather than the awkward ‘1, 2, 3’ to synchronise each person, which Andrew and Jason had to do.
- Not a listener poll, just listen to Martin.
- Oh fine, I’ll do a bloody poll if I have to.
Thumbs Up 00:33:30
- ‘Rapid-fire’?! While I’m away? 🤣 Impossible

- Sonos Arc Ultra
- No Man’s Sky

- 🇦🇺 Nih-suhn vs. 🇺🇸 Nee-saan!
- CAR SPREADSHEET? CBF
- No joy in spreadsheets. Get rid of them.
Oh no... 00:44:47
- We are now in the era of Vision Pro(lapse).
- What an ending!
