Thanks for Giving Thanks

Well it is almost Thanksgiving here in our humble city that is San Jose. I would like to greet anybody who reads our blog a happy Thanksgiving. That and they must ditch their dinner and head straight for a store because it's almost BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!!! Ahem, well other than that, I might be hosting a special Thanksgiving Skypecast (though I think it is unnecessary?) to foreshadow the upcoming hype of the Black Friday festivities. The only logical reason for me conveying all of this madness into a podcast is to brag about certain deals to look out for once that 5AM bell rings and people start mauling each other for the goods they want, but don't really need (American Consumerism at it's finest eh?). Well, just look out for that notice on the blog that'll say "Skypecast Live! Special Giving Thanks this Thanksgiving"

Project Skypecast 009 - 011 (oh god)

It's been a while....a long while, but nonetheless I am here to put up the 2 missing episodes of the Skypecast. Long overdue, and not worth the wait, for most of it was pointless banter. Though I think the catchers were the music selection...but that's just me.

Episode 009 - Carbon Machinery

Episode nine started off rather randomly. It began all one night and a game of Osu...the pointless banter I was foreshadowing about, but later on it finally settled down and we had a discussion that had barely enough sense to call it a podcast. Stuff to point out: Rant on the Osu chat commune, Customer Service, Vu's Mac OSX notebook vs. Windows notebook, music licensing and take downs on Youtube, Vu's project to change the world (BioTech), Payin' for college

Episode 11 - Rhythm & Beats

Here is episode 11! The second part of our epic epitome of controversial episode releases! A special podcast that spans a lifetime of fulfilling mysteries! (that was all a lie by the way) But our topics span a three week time period scrunched into a one hour time period. Some of those topics to highlight: Psychedelic Music, Indie vs Mainstream, Satirical hyperboles, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, PARKOUR

BLACK FRIDAY: A Brief History On One Of The Busiest Shopping Days Of The Year

As you may know, Black Friday is coming around the corner of next week and I bet you're probably gonna do something on that day. Walmart, Target and Best Buy are one of the most busiest retailers on that day. The term "Black Friday" originally came from Philadelphia from their police departments marking the first day of the holiday shopping season and the day were traffic jams and overcrowded street walks. It was a widespread word after a newspaper from Philadelphia after it was involved with the holiday traffic and the Army vs. Navy football game. Retailers then found a way to make money. That Friday was the day that mostly everyone is off from work. Although it is not the most profitable day, it is always around the highest. It could also save retailers who were non-profitable from the January-to-November season to make profit during the holidays. I could possibly bring the store from the red ink (which was financial loss) into black ink (profit). Every year from the craziness, however, there are a bunch of people who get killed every year. Walmart workers and shoppers are sometimes trampled to death from the door opening.
Now, since were talking about Black Friday, this year's deals so far are video games. If you like Xbox, you should probably go to Toys'R'Us as they have a sale where you can get selected games for $5 if you buy one of the selected games. If you are a Sony guy trying to expand your library, look at Walmart as they have really good games like Modern Warfare for $10. Also look at the link for more info on this year's holiday shopping spree. http://bfads.net/

Pod(Skype)cast Live! @ 5:20PM PST

Yes, we have yet another exciting episode of the Project Podcast Skypecast...though I think it should really be called the "Project Podcast Podcast" since we haven't had an actual in-school recording due to busy people and active time constraints; That and this is our only alternative.

So we have another off-school-topic discussion today, which is music. Here is a few topic suggestions I came up with (though it necessarily doesn't have to be followed ;))

  • Different types of music
  • Mainstream or Indie?
  • Vocals or instrumentals?
  • Good artists nowadays?
  • Recommendations....anyone?
