Empty Checking #7 - August 21, 2010

Okay... After some difficulties, I finally managed to get this week's podcast online! Be forewarned, this one works a little harder to earn its "PG-13" rating, as I was in a bad mood when I recorded it and I swore a little more than usual. My apologies to the elderly women who listen to my podcast. This was a big week, but I think this was my SHORTEST podcast yet! Only 20:56! Wow!

Love the RAGE against Home Depot. Can't stand that place.

Still remember seeing Rush in like '94 at the ol' Arena. With your brother and Tim Heeley I believe! PRIMUS.

Oh, also -- and you don't have to post this comment if you don't want to -- I think in the code for the audio player, you could physically change the width to something like 500px to keep it within the borders.

Hey Marc. Good to know you're listening. Thanks for the comments.

...I actually DID re-size the player already, but it looks like it's one of those things that looks fine in my window, but not in everyone's, lol. Thanks for mentioning it. I'm going to see what I can do.

Basic Information About the Podcast

1. There may be some “strong” language. I speak the way I speak. I promise that I will try to avoid excessive profanity, but I can not guarantee that every podcast will be absolutely swear-word free. It is recommended that any listeners be 13+, due only to the potential of me using some "dirty" words.

2. There are likely to be spoilers in each podcast if I'm discussing something that has already aired. I assume that if you were interested, you'd have read/watched/listened to it by the time I'm posting about it...whatever "it" is.

3. Whenever possible, I’ll give you a preview of what I’m talking about from week to week, so you’ll know in advance if you’ll be bored. But I tend to go off topic.

4. Sometimes I’ll like the stuff I review. Sometimes I won’t. I will likely be fairly critical of some of the things I review. However, I will do my best to be fair. ACCURATE...but fair. If I absolutely hate something, I’ll let you know...but I will try not to just blindly blast something for the sake of it.

5. I’m going to try to take up enough time to make it WORTH your time. There’s nothing worse than settling in for someone’s podcast and then discovering that they only did 2 minutes. I’m going to try to keep it between 30-60 minutes each time.

6. It should be understood that I am not accountable for any comments made by any guest on the show. I reserve the right to edit any comments I find unacceptable in both recordings and written comments, but for the most part will leave any guest commentator's comments as in-tact as I can.

7. Each download will always be released ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE.

8. As of 2017, I do not have any sponsors and this podcast is a labor of love. Should any sponsorships or commercials appear, they will either be added by my web-host or a product that I have personally approved...but we're not there yet. If a webhost adds a commercial, it should not be assumed that I have endorsed the product.

9. Just have fun. This is supposed to be fun.
