I had completely forgotten this little podcast project over the past five weeks because of work and travel. It was only when a few kind words from The Bava floated across the transom via twitter today that I remembered that there is audio to be recorded. …

It’s getting so hot and humid here that I don’t know how much longer these 3,000 step recordings can go on. Next time out, I hope to record in air-conditioned splendor. It should be forthcoming later this week.…
Today’s Daily Create seemed a perfect entry point for easing back into the ds106 mindset.

If nothing else, it can at least be said that a second podcast was recorded and released within a reasonable amount of time.
The next one should be forthcoming later this month.…

It looks like all of the technical components are in place. For better or for worse, the Lo is back in the game.…
A while back there used to be some blog posts, animated GIFs and the odd bit of audio here.
This thing was even linked to the ds106 firehose. For a while, it was all fun and exciting. That was a long time ago.
The vagaries of life and circumstances …
There are currently more than 400 recordings of Studs Terkel’s radio programs available on Pop Up Archive. This temporary repository will eventually give way to a permanent online archive of over 5000 interviews spanning more than four decades.
The discussion between Studs and Mort Sahl about Sick Comedy from …
The idea of paying $129.99 for a pair of hand painted Converse Chuck Taylors commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Twin Peaks televisions series might seem extravagant to some. Were it not for the facts that the logistics of shipping such unique merchandise are so complicated and that I don’t …
A renaissance of podcasting indeed. Had I started this project ages ago as originally dreamt, it very well might have had a place of prominence in the article. But that’s okay. The important thing is that the wheels are now in motion.
As the project picks up steam, three separate …
Blake’s & Paolozzi’s Newton
Judging by the twitter traffic and the expression of fan-boy glee on Dr. C’s face during the interview with Dr. Alan Kay last night, a great many sparks of thought were flying during the three hour google hangout last night. Technical issues with the stream …

The conscious mind is like a pond into which many people are throwing stones. Our thoughts are accidents, and if we blunder upon just the idea we need, it is indeed a blunder.
Oh how I wish I’d have come up with some sentences like those …
This course hits home on a deeply personal level. I’ve been grappling with many of the issues that are on offer here for a long time.
This morning, as I was slurping down a bowl of Grape Nut Flakes while rushing to get ready to head to the teaching factory …
Hewlett Packard Promotional Film
I got bogged down this weekend looking for videos of Hollerith’s game changing punch cards and tabulating machines at the Internet Archive. Seems that the method and technology he developed to aid census taking in the United States in the late 1900s had a lasting …
One of the things I like about Vannever Bush’s As We May Think article is the survey it provides of late 19th and early 20th century information technology. Case in point is the nugget I wish to put forward for consideration:
All this complication is needed because of the clumsy …

As promised in yesterday’s “teaser” post, an audio draft of my answer to the question ‘How do I feel when I think?’ is offered in the player above. For devices without Flash, the download audio link should work. And for those subscribed to the feed in …
The organizers of the online Thought Vectors course have asked participants to answer the question “How does it feel when I think?” in the form of an autobiographical blog post for a first week assignment. The initial thought upon reading and pondering the prompt was amazement at never having considered …
Manish’s Triple Troll Attack from 2011 (#ds106)
The course’s catch-phrase is thought vectors in concept space. It looks to be an interesting and fun way to spend the next eight weeks. So, I guess it’s time to learn how to work a blog again.…

This podcast was recorded in two parts. First was a drive to work this morning in which I tried to provide an update on the ongoing reclamation project. It turns out that there are nearly 200 recordings I’ve made over the past decade now available on …
The previous post referred to Bill‘s amazing work in building a prototype version of Dr. Nakamatsu’s TDM/7300 multiplex radio tuner. It’s hard to imagine that he will likely have a fully functioning version ready before year’s end. What a treat it was to be able to play his …
Inspired by Lisa’s awesome work in bringing historical texts to life through current web animation tools, I decided to experiment with GoAnimate to introduce the amazing mp3 file Bill was able to capture while trying to build the machine from Dr. Nakamatsu’s 2004 block diagram.

The entire run of Tokyo Calling podcasts – save episodes 61-65 – along with original blog posts is once again online. Confronting the personalized memoir format of the various audio journal projects I’ve dabbled in over the years might not be the healthiest way to spend …
It took several days, but jet lag from the long flight back from Virginia finally began to hit this past Thursday. Frustrated with the slow progress and the unreality of listening to 9 year old recordings of myself while trying to put together a ‘show’ for Friday led me to …
As mentioned here yesterday, this week marks nine years since the first episode of the Tokyo Calling podcast. In this episode, in addition to playing some old time music and a 1963 clip from Jean Shepherd, I played the first mention anywhere of Dr. Nakamatsu’s TDM/7300 from November 2004. …
Every October, for the past five or six years, a bittersweet cloud of nostalgia falls over my head. That’s because I began podcasting nine years ago this week. Over the course of four and a half years and more than 100 audio episodes, I experimented with sound, storytelling, and personal …
This recording is of a live transmission on ds106radio from September 20, 2013. Thanks to Bill, Christina and Mariana for phoning in.…
Thanks to Giulia and Alan for helping to exemplify what my greatest hope for the BluePhase transmissions might be. That is bringing listeners to the ‘microphone’ to talk about matters related to ds106 in a free-form manner.
This whole thing has fallen together in such a spontaneous and seemingly haphazard …
It seems I’ve been away for a while. The past months of online inactivity have provided a chance to think about what to do next. For the time being, I think it’s going to be something like this.
Beginning September 16, 2013, I will try to two live ‘shows’ on …
RockyLou’s been on fire this week with three successive installments of the LoDown. And it seems most of remaining days of the ds106zone course have been spoken for one form of audio program or another. As I will continue to have limited ability to update this blog for the next …
Thanks to RockyLou, it looks like the ds106zone LoDown just might make it through the entire five week course. She has stepped forward and created a fantastic 26th episode featuring self-reflections from a couple of fellow open-onliners.
I’m so grateful to Rochelle for her eagerness to pick up this challenge …
As mentioned in the recording, I will not be able to produce any more of these LoDown episodes for the remainder of the ds106zone. That means an opportunity for you to step forward and do your own course podcast. You are welcome to call it a LoDown (or whatever you …
Note: Below is the text from Alan’s blog post for LoDown 024. Tomorrow, I hope to return with number 25.

When the clams and worcestershire get Scottlo too low to do his daily show, well, they …
Note: Below is the text from Rochelle’s and Amber’s post for LoDown 23. Tomorrow, Alan Levine will be behind the mic to bring us LoDown 24.
Rockylou’s (Rochelle Lockridge‘s) first foray into guest hosting the DS106 LoDown (episode 17) was a success. However, the original …
Wesley’s recent commercial for the LoDown kicks of this 23rd installment. I love the way he brought in some audio from Professor Groom to set up his killer tag line: The LoDown is no joke. Brilliant and well executed, Wesley – thank you.
I also spent a bit of time …
It’s only because of inspiring and excellent work being done by so many folks in the ds106zone that this podcast is able to continue day after day. Two cases in point are Katy’s Watch out it’s a driveby audio assignment and Rochelle’s Reflecting on ds106 recording. And by the time …
Week three of ds106zone is soon to be a distant memory. Everyone is scrambling to pull the radio plays together. And the LoDown keeps chugging along. The effort was greatly aided today by audio contributions from John and Brian as well a thought provoking series of emails back and forth …
It’s great to be back with another LoDown installment. This recording features a few tips for dealing with your volume levels in Audacity. Even though we are nearly done with Audio week, these principals will still apply when we turn to video next week and beyond. And they might even …
Note: Below is the text from Jim’s guest post for LoDown 018. I’ll be back for 019 tomorrow and Rochelle and Amber are slated to wrap up their awesome segment from yesterday on Tuesday for LoDown 023. Once again, I’d like to thank Jim, Rochelle and Amber for stepping…
Hello… This is Rockylou standing in for scottlo today. Giving him a much needed break from producing these daily episodes of the LoDown. I can’t imagine trying to do this daily for 35 days straight. Making one of these is a lot more work with the behind the scenes preparation …
Big thanks to Grant, Christina and Brian for creating the brilliant Twilight Zone inspired ds106 radio bumpers that made this episode possible.
I’m also grateful to Rochelle and Jim who will be guest hosting the LoDown on June 5 and 6 respectively. But more guest hosts are needed if …
This recording was done live on ds106 radio. The mix level between music and narration at the beginning is less than ideal. The music is a bit louder than it should which might make listening on a loudspeaker challenging. But through earbuds or good headphones, it should be acceptable.
Fortunately …
I forgot to mention in the recording that the featured Arch Oboler excerpt, entitled The Freak from the Devil and Mr. O series in 1970-71, originally aired in 1939 as The Ugliest Man in the World. The lead role was played by Raymond Edward Johnson who was a huge radio …
The big news today in terms of the ds106zone class is in Jim’s Week 3 Preparation: The Radio Show blog post. If you’re a UMW taking this course for credit, you really must read it now. And after reading it, you will too busy listening to the stuff Jim’s linked …
As mentioned yesterday, based on Thursday’s office hours hangout with Jim, the radio play status for UMW students is Game On. A post from Jim is forthcoming that will spell out the intricacies of week three and the assignment of groups. Open online participants will be responsible for forming groups …
The prayer call heard in the background was not Asr as I said but the final prayer time of the day: Isha’a. Everyday, similar sounds punctuate the day five times and can be heard nearly wherever one finds oneself around here. I hope none are offended by the seeming frivolity …
I need to begin this post with a bit thank you to open-online participants Mike and Rochelle. Were it not for Mike’s awesome blog post about his initial impressions from listening to some Arch Oboler radio horror, and Rochelle’s evocative sound story, I don’t think this 10th installment …
The Create a ds106radio Bumper is another of the popular audio assignments you can choose from for week three. It’s a relatively easy two stars. But more than that, it gives you a chance to combine your own voice with music and sound effects. Don’t worry, it’s not so difficult …
It’s a little embarrassing to admit how long it took to pull this 8th installment of the LoDown together. When editing audio, things have the tendency to go wrong. You will all experience when week 3 comes around.
Featured in this recording is one of the more popular and oldest …
Kudos to everyone who’s made it through week 1 intact. As much as I tried, I still wasn’t able to keep this one within the 5-7 minute zone. Sorry guys.
As mentioned in the recording, I’m sending out an invitation to a few brave souls who wish to be guinea …
For a long time, I’d dreamed of doing a daily podcast or radio type show. Seemed there was never enough to talk about. Also, the discipline to make such a project work for an extended period of time was always lacking. But now that we’ve found ourselves in the ds106zone, …
For the sake of having these recordings present themselves as proper podcasts that can be downloaded through subscription, I’ll forgo using mobile apps for the time being. The two previous installments can only be listened to by visiting the site. The beauty of podcasting is that, through rss syndication and …
Experimenting with the SoundCloud iPhone app allowed this recording to quite a bit longer than anticipated (there’s also a free Android version of the app). A couple of links mentioned were:
Arch Oboler’s Devil and Mr. O radio plays on the Internet Archive Jim Groom’s May 22, 2013 presentation…

Today’s ds106zone LoDown was recorded with the AudioBoo app on an iPhone 5. Embedding the player on this WordPress blog was a bit confusing as it didn’t appear in preview mode. I was on the verge of giving up and decided to …
It’s hard to believe it was little more than a year and a half ago that the Noiseprofessor introduced the Jim Groom Art assignment with an animated GIF of the Bava in an OK Go video. It’s such a long time ago, in fact, and so much stuff has …
Judging by the traffic on twitter, it seems that ds106zone has hit the ground running. It just so happens that the start of this amazing course coincided with the busiest part of my week so I’ve not been able to keep the same pace as others. Fortunately, the weekend here …
The next five weeks here will be devoted to the ds106zone class. While reflecting on how to help out with the audio portion of the class, the idea to do a short daily live radio segment on ds106 radio seemed like an obvious way to go. The next logical …
The Ninth Floor True Confession: The only reason I watched the Twilight Zone episode The After Hours last night was a quest for GIF-able moment so I could get an assignment done before the course begins on May 20, 2013. I was much more focused on the visual aesthetic than …
Timeline Interrogation Having spent a few hours carefully re-listening to Arch Oboler’s Where Are You? radio play and writing several pages of log notes, I remain convinced that this sort of process can be useful for aspiring radio writers and producers. The reason for this is that through such intense …
According to the effervescent Jim Groom, the ds106zone is on like Donkey Kong. Though the class doesn’t officially begin until Monday, March 20, 2013, several open-online participants have already stepped up to the plate and smacked some animated GIFs out of the proverbial ballpark.
Within minutes of Jim posting his …
Craniums Compared This 45 minute recording from my early morning set on ds106 radio focus less on Arch Oboler’s Neanderthal radio play than I’d originally intended. That’s because the whole game changed as the result of a skype conversation with Jim Groom yesterday. It turns out the Summer session of …
All available energy is being directed toward this coming Friday’s opening session of Scottlo Radio School on ds106 radio. As mentioned in yesterday’s post, that’s when I’ll be presenting the results of the three step process of contextualization, transcription and re-interpretation of Arch Oboler’s Neanderthal.
This podcast recording consists …
Catching Up Amarillo News from Digital Deli This Arch Oboler project that began a month ago has been a trip down the rabbit hole on several levels. In the first instance, listening to performed tales of the supernatural and supernormal from more than seventy years ago is a disorienting experience. …
Hang In There Theseus I realize most people will never hear this podcast. That’s totally fine and as it should be. But as I had such a good time putting it together, I’d like to know what those who did take the time to listen thought. Feel free to leave …
iCast Pro A recent entry on the Shift Left forum from the developer indicated that the Papaya Broadcaster application will be discontinued at the end of April, 2013. This is unfortunate news for the ds106 radio community as a good many people have used this awesome program to transmit to …
Nayasa’s Ruf ‘n’ Tuf lunchpail This podcast is a recording of a live transmission over ds106radio from a Toyota Yaris driving on the Dammam-Khobar Highway. The monolog was transmitted using the soon to be discontinued Papaya application on an iPhone 5. An iPhone 3 using the FStream application was used …
Hearing about some guy blogging about films while making a road trip sparked an idea. I briefly sketched the idea out during this morning’s Driveby Show on ds106radio. In the weeks ahead, I’ll use this blog space to bring the idea to life.
When I come back to the …
Transcription from Dictaphone (source LoC) I am currently dictating the first draft of this blog post into a dictaphone. To be more precise, I’m using a smart-phone equipped with software that automatically transcribes speech into text. The word Dictaphone was originally the name of the company that produced a dictation …
“The Nihilists” from PunkRockPaint I always wonder if anyone is really interested in listening to some dude in the desert talk to himself in the form of a podcast before releasing one of these. Recent efforts here at the Scottlo Radio Blog are progressing toward something that for me at …
Through learning about a famous playwright from radio’s Golden Age named Arch Oboler via a Twitter tweet from Grant Potter which pointed to a blog post by Bryan Alexander, I was able to come up with a plan for my first 3-step project for the Scottlo Radio School shakedown cruise. …

As mentioned in the latest podcast, tomorrow I will be giving my second Toastmasters speech. New TMs like me must give a series of ten assigned speeches to reach the level of Competent Communicator (CC). The guidelines for this CC 02 …
Benay Venuta Syllabus Draft It turns out that the task I set for myself to come up with a syllabus for the Scottlo Radio School (SRS) dovetails nicely with the Toastmasters speech I’m supposed to be preparing to give on April Fool’s Day. The only problem is that I wore …
The idea is born Some project ideas that get in to one’s headspace are difficult to make sense of initially. The project might seem like something worth pursuing but the details are hard to grasp and perhaps the job itself seems beyond one’s abilities. The tendency might be to let …
“The @scottlo DRIVEBY SHOW” animated GIF by aforgrave I’ve been trying to explain to myself, so I can understand, why I’ve been getting up at 4:00 in the morning for the past couple of weeks. What started as a bit of a lark – a proof of concept type test …
Pitching Soap It’s time to fire this blogging system up again. Lots of things are happening for your’s truly. More importantly, perhaps, lots of other folks have been up to some compelling stuff. Taken together, I can no longer allow myself to sit idly on the sidelines.
Details forthcoming, please …
Triple Troll Quote Sometimes the ds106 assignment just falls into your lap. Such was the case when I noticed that Cogdog tweeted to Jim Groom about a gentleman named Conrad that I’d mentioned in the latest installment of scottlo calling. Seems that Groom wanted to use one Conrad as …
Blame it on Zontar Zontar the Thing From Venus is a Larry Buchanan made for television production from the mid-sixties. While searching through the several films I’d previously downloaded from the Internet Archive for a suitable clip for my submission for the Flashing Neon GIF ds106 assignment, this scene when …
I recently came up with an idea for a ds106 assignment that’s called, “Flashing Neon GIF.” It’s a simple concept that involves creating a GIF and adding stylized text that’s been created in a vector editor to some of the frames of the GIF.
Also, I’m trying to recollect the …
You say it’s pronounced like the peanut butter? Preamble I wasn’t thinking ds106 assignment when I found this panel in an ancient comic on Ethan Persoff’s amazing Comics With Problems election edition. All I knew was that I wanted to to something with the image of the dude with the …
The Eyes Have It As mentioned on the latest podcast, I downloaded a bunch of videos from the moving image section of internet archive “this just in” feed while waiting for my visa to get processed this past July and August. I’ve only just recently begun digging through …
Points of Reference In the course of recording this tribute to yesterday’s mega-news about the word of the year (the verb form of GIF), an important and disorienting insight flashed in my mind’s eye like the reflection of a neon gas station sign rippling across a puddle of spilled petrol …
Liberace This In honor of the Oxford Dictionaries team declaring the verb form of GIF as the word of year, it seemed only natural to do the magic with a young Happy Kyne playing his organ. Long before he was band leader of the Mirth Makers on Fernwood 2Night…
It’s About Time Karamoon was quickly able to put the clues together to identify The Yesterday Machine as the mystery movie. Unfortunately, I still have a few animated GIFs that I’d been intending to roll out in the coming days to try to build excitement for this contest.
Instead, we’ll …
Rebel Slug Possible Spoiler: Dr. Blake has just shared the bullet that he had earlier removed from the left buttock of the college with the man in the dark suit. The boy made it through surgery but is unable to tell his story of the altercation with the Confederate soldiers …
road trip troubles In the next scene of this film, freely available on the internet archive, our young coeds encounter two disoriented Civil War soldiers who’ve wound up in 1960′s rural America because of a malfunctioning time machine. Gunplay ensues. The boy winds up in hospital and the girl vanishes. …
all aboard A couple of days ago it seemed there wouldn’t be a next episode of scottlo calling. It felt as if there was nothing left to talk about. And then curious things began to happen.
First there was a blog post from Radio Errols about receiving a recent news …
Radar Range It didn’t take John long to figure out which film the previous animated GIF came from in his comment on the previous post: Pump up the Volume. He, MBS and Dr. Jones will all be entered into the drawing for a bag of sweets from the nougat …
cassette tape The story: I’d been spending some time thinking about radio and audio experimentation even before the recent radio purchases that have been mentioned in previous posts. But the imagination was really sparked weeks earlier when I watched the movie from which the animated GIF above was pulled. I …
scottlo’s knock-off radio Those who are willing and able to listen to this hour-long recording will get to hear how a Chinese knock-off of a classic Sony transistor radio came into my possession recently. The episode also features a few recordings of a local radio station that were picked up …
“All I hear is radio scottlo” I was able to find some time to do a set on ds106 radio today which consisted of playing some local Saudi fm radio I’d recorded earlier. Though if seemed to be a wee bit of a lark as I prepped for the show, …
I hadn’t realized that my first podcast, Tokyo Calling, began eight years ago this month until I was recording the opening segment of my new podcast: scottlo calling. It seems like a lifetime ago. And in many ways, it was.
So here I am in a new place with a …
This fourth and final installment of The Pro from Dover is part of an audio project that began in July. The three previous recordings were all released on The Overnightscape Underground. At the time there was a reason for not posting the audio through the Scottlo Radio Blog but …
