Change is What We Need

We are changing here at North West Public Radio. Starting November 10th, I will be the local host of All Things Considered. Pretty neat huh? So that leaves me wondering; since I will not be the Weekend Edition Host, if I need to change the title of this blog? "The NWPR Weekender" just implies weekendy kind of stuff (yes weekendy is word... at least to me). Should I keep it or change it? Post a comment. Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from you.

In case you are wondering about all the shifting host changes here's the situation: Our Morning Edition Host, Gillian has taken another position within the organization, that of Assistant Programing and Operations Manager. So, Sueann, who is the current All Things Considered Host, will move to mornings and take over for Gillian. Now that leaves ATC open for me, Thom Kokenge, to step in. What about Weekend Edition? Our very reliable and talented, mostly fill-in guy, Bruce Bradberry will take over. An excellent line-up of local talent, if I do say so myself. See you on the radio!

1-Day Pledge Drives Rock

Every public radio station should be doing this. Spend one day, all day, having a pledge drive. It's less expensive for the station, it's easier on the staff, way easier to prepare, and listeners love it. What's not to like? Every station that I know of who has tried it it's worked. With the exception of the stations that say if we don't make the goal we'll be back tomorrow. Because that defeats the 1-day pledge drive purpose. You've got one day folks, so start pledgin'. We made our goal of 2500 pledges. That's a lot of 'em. So, if your public radio station isn't doing it... why the heck not? We think it will work anywhere. Suggest it to your station when you pledge and tell them that it is working (2 successful 1-day drives with more to come) for North West Public Radio.

You Listen to Us, We Hear You. Or,
Pledge Early and Pledge Often.

My friend Doug, who lives in Portland, is a loyal NPR/OBR (Oregon Public Radio) listener. It's pledge time there too, and he called me to say that he wished he lived back in Ellensburg, WA right now so that he could participate in our one day pledge drive. He went on to say how the pledging just goes on, and on. I told him to call them and let them know when you make your pledge and maybe they'll change.

Well, we heard you, our loyal North West Public Radio listeners. The last one day fund drive was the best drive we've ever had. So we will do it again, and we want to continue to do the one day pledge drives (please, oh please) and it is because of you, your loyalty to YOUR public radio station, and your desire to hear quality (commercial free), non-biased radio, and your donations to North West Public Radio that keeps the station going... literally.

Pledge DAY, there's only one, is coming up this Thursday, October 23 starting at 5:30 AM and if you like what you are hearing and not hearing, when it comes to long pledge drives, please do your part and pledge early and pledge often.

Radio; It's All About the Images

One of the many reasons that I choose radio as a career is what I learned from a college professor, and that is how radio is the most visual medium. One of the examples that he used was this: "Let's say that you tell people (while you are on the radio) that you couldn't believe your eyes when you went into your home office, because your cat had left you a lovely little present on your chair." He went on to explain that some listeners will imagine a nice little box present with a bow and wrapping paper, while others imagine a great big pile of cat poo.

Radio uses these images to transport you too. It's programs like A Prairie Home Companion and This American Life that take you to a place in your imagination every week. Just like the present the cat left us, we can all imagine a different place or thing, but it is really the exact same place or thing, and that makes it even more real to each of us. It's the connection we freely associate to radio with mental images that makes it so appealing and the most visual medium.

That's why I love radio.

Re-Thinking Flying

I've seen a video of the massive amount of air traffic over the U.S., but seeing the global amount of air traffic has me amazed. I knew there were a lot of planes taking off daily, but whoa.

Check out just European air traffic.

I just found this very cool site where you can follow either commercial or private flight. Plus view images of air traffic over the U.S. http://flightaware.com/live/. I could check out flights all day. Hey Moms, put that site into you Favorites, so you'll know exactly where your kids flight is the next time they take a flight (saves on worry).

I find this all rather interesting and a little scary. Just think of all those flights going on over your head all day every day. However it does make one realize just how safe air travel really is.

Another Great Voice

The other day, September 9th to be exact, I was listening to PRI'S "The World" and I heard this angelic, sweet, yet powerful singing voice during the Global Hit segment. His name is Gurrumul.
He is an Australian Aboriginal artist who has such a compelling voice that it doesn't matter that I can't understand the words he sings, but I wish I did because his voice is so compelling. Funny how I've always wanted a deep resonating voice, but find his voice very much worthy of jealousy.

Take some time to enjoy this great artist.

2008-09-07T11:12:00.000-07:00

The Voice is Gone

You've heard him, but you may not know the name. Don LaFontaine, AKA, "The Voice of God" or "Thunder Throat", died September 1, 2008.

I have known about Mr. LaFontaine and his career for many years and have had a jealousy for his distinctive voice since I first heard him on a movie trailer. I've tried to mimic his voice, but it is at such a difficult register and there is a timbre that is impossible for me to recreate. All I know is that if I had his voice, I'd be doing what he did. Use it to the best of my ability.

He was remembered on many programs carried on North West Public Radio. Morning Edition, All Things Considered, On The Media, and Studio 360, oh and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

I don't have much to say, just that he will be missed and that there are many of us who aspire to be like him. Rest in peace.

On Getting Married

People often ask me if I feel any different since I got married. My answer is always, yes. Very different.

Before marriage I felt a tremendous love for Elise, but now it's a new kind of love. A much deeper caring, almost a longing-for-more kind of love that I have not experienced before. It's really great. We have now committed ourselves, in front of God and everybody, to each other for the rest of our days. That is something that just can't be done lightly. We can feel that commitment every day.

We've (Elise and I) discussed how there is now a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders regarding the whole thought of and dread, at least on our parts, of not finding "the one", and thankfully we don't have to date again, because dating sucks. You are either looking for someone to be with, or you are in that "in between relationships" gray area. But now that we don't have that worry we now have a whole new set of worries or stresses regarding the other person in our lives. How are they feeling today? How is their life, job, school, relations with others going? When you get married there is a lot of change, most of it good.

Things change right away. Directly after the ceremony it was all "Wow. We got married!" Which soon became, "I can't believe we got married." To now, a little over a month, "Yep, we're married alright." My friend Gil once said about newlyweds (really I think he meant anyone married for less time than he and his wife) "They haven't been married long enough to hate each other." Hm, okay... I'll take your word for it Gil. I, uh, can't wait? Maybe he is just tired of working at his marriage.

What I have been hearing a lot is how difficult a marriage is. Another friend, Victor, says that "You've got to treat it like a part time job. You have to work at it." That I can understand. Just think of all the big things in life that people in your life do for you and how that can effect your life. Then just think how all those small things that you do effect another person every single day of their lives. So you have to be cognizant of these things and try to minimize them. Communication (I hear it all the time) is the key. So, thank goodness Elise and I are very open and discuss all kinds of things in our lives and we try to let the other person know our feelings as best we can. It's better to say it and discuss it than to let it fester and become anger. The good thing about Elise and I is that we like to talk to each other. We have become very best friends.

I know that my wife (heh, it's still fun to say) are not the only ones who are having or have had, new feelings and emotions regarding marriage and the new bond between us. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Wearable Motorcycle

I am hopeful that we will start seeing many new innovations based on personal mobility. With the price of gas up over two dollars since 2007 we can only hope that all of those tinkerers and forward thinkers out there will bring to market new, interesting, and really cool products.

This product just blows my mind. A wearable motorcycle suit!

It's almost like an Anime motorcycle made real. The look of it reminds me of the Alien creature too.

Right now I'm thinking about all the different types of ways that we (I'm thinking U.S. citizens here) have available to get around: walk, bicycle, recumbent bikes, electric bikes, 3 & 4 wheeled electric bike and chairs, skateboard, motorcycle, 4 wheeled gasoline vehicle car/SUV/truck, electric car, electric "motorcycle" and scooters, etc. and so forth. But with all of these options we are still overwhelmingly attached to our beloved cars.

I recently (say, 4 months ago) looked into getting an electric car. Not a hybrid. A 100% electric vehicle. The major issue that I had/have is that these vehicles are meant for city driving. Not long distance. The maximum distance that I found, at the time, was slightly over 200 miles. Then it would need to charge for 6-10 hours. However since most of my driving is commuting to work, which is about 20 miles round trip, I can see getting an electric vehicle.

Now if only we could count on our electrical grid.

Canada Day!

Happy Birthday Canada. I like Canada. Even though I have only visited there a few times in my life, each visit remains in my memory as a positive experience. I don't know if that was from the beer, or the great skiing, or the buying bonanza when the dollar was much stronger against the Loonie (the one dollar Canadian coin, called the Loonie because of the traditional Loon on one side).

Whatever was going on, Canada is fine with me. What is there about Canada that's not to like? Everything is cool. Everything. From their Eh's to Hockey. Plus when you travel around the world you find Canadians everywhere. Happy Birthday again Canada. May you live to be 200 or more!

Nuculer

Okay, I admit it, and you may have heard me say it. I said... Nuculer, and even on more than one occasion. GAH! I hate this mispronunciation and I hate that it is repeated by the President of the United States of America. What really, really bugs me is that I repeat it. It drives me crazy. It's not like I want to say it that way, it just comes out. I don't know how I really started saying nuclear incorrectly, but I've been caught twice now by listeners. Thanks for listening and thanks for catching my mistakes. But from now on, please only listen closely when I'm saying every thing correctly. *place cheesy grin here*

Politics, Get yer Politics Here!

I am not going to bore you with my political view points... you're welcome. Although I'd really like to, but "they" don't want "us" to get into the political "discussions". But I am anyway, but in a good way.

I have been a follower of politics since college where I discovered the fascinating study called Political Science. Honestly the text books absolutely bored me, literally, to sleep. But Poli-Sci has always kept my interest via things that i want to read rather than required reading, and I enjoy (and I love that this is a job) political analysis. Which politician is doing what and why. How this event might change "the political landscape," etc. I like it. But I do not like getting my politics from a single source or from a single point of view.

I like divergent but well thought out political and news writing and commentary. I am a huge Daniel Shore fan. I also enjoy George Will and Matt Taibbi, I usually read his articles in Rolling Stone (of which I have a lifetime subscription, eat your heart out Sueann Rammela).

Anyway, I did find this cool site that is more of a aggregate of political articles called Real Clear Politics dot com. Whenever I type "dot com" I am always reminded of my friend Coho who said he wanted to creat a site called www.wwwdotcom.com way before it actually came into being. I think it's humorous. So, yeah. Check out RealClearPolitics.com and maybe it will help you during the upcoming silly season of politics, and provide some political insight that you may not have heard or read otherwise. Later

To be specific it was June 8th, 2007. It was a Friday and it was a rather long day full of trying to remember each name and how the network of stations at NWPR function.

On a personal note, while I lived in Ellensburg I knew a man who could do this type of juggling. His name was (still is I suppose) Alvie and he would do this at parties and gatherings. So a big shout out to Alvie, and thanks for being so dang entertaining. Peace.

Peter & the Wolf Producer on NPR

Turning 'Peter and the Wolf' into an Oscar winner.

The producer of Peter & the Wolf was interviewed on NPR's All Things Considered. I can only imagine doing a stop motion film; moving the tangible elements, branches, hands, leaves, ducks, etc., 2 centimeters at a time, take a picture, move it 2 cm, take a picture 24 times for every second. These people really are incredible artists.

My very good friend Coho (it's a nick name, don't ask) did this fun stop motion movie of me, with still pictures taken in 2001 on a motorcycle trip to Las Vegas, at a stop somewhere in the middle of DEATH VALLEY, going through DEATH VALLEY was a supposedly fun thing that I'll never do again. This is just to show you what kind of fun you can have with stop motion.

Every year Weekend Edition Sunday (WE Sun) does a Best Original Score roundup and it is one of my favorite stories of the year.

It always draws me in and instills in me the desire to listen to music and not just hear it.

I Love My Name

This is only the second station that has let me use my given name. I am proud of my name, and I know that when people hear it they will remember it.

Now, I will admit that not only is my last name unusual and unusually spelled but I also spell my first name with an 'h'. Here's the deal; I use the 'h' because my given fist name is Thomas. Not Tomas. Ego, to wit, and whateva, I go by Thom short for Thomas. To screw up people even MORE I'm on the radio so it's not too often that listeners will see my name spelled out. If you are listening you will only hear: "Thank you for listening to North West Public Radio, I'm Tom Cocaine."

Thank you listener person, I love ya!

Animation Is Cool

I am lucky. I grew up watching Saturday cartoons and going to see animated Disney movies. To me there is an allure to all things animated. What fascinates me is the dedication, insane amount of meticulousness, and attention to detail animators must have. To think that it takes an entire days work (12 to 16 hours mind you) to get only a few seconds of "real time movement", and it will take years to create an entire movie short. Sounds to me like self flagellation, but I am happy to relish in the accomplishments of those who create these wondrous works of art.

I recently surfed into a blog that had a post about the 2008 Academy Awards Animated Shorts Nominees, and those shorts made me giddy. I hope these make you giddy too. (Oh boy! I got to use giddy twice. Okay, three times.)

LEGO Brick Turns 50

The LEGO brick turns 50 at exactly 1:58 p.m. today, January 28, 2008.

I remember my first little set of LEGO, it was a simple little car with a LEGO man. My age? I don't know exactly but it was single digits. It was cool and fun, and then I got another LEGO set not long after that and it was a Jet Airplane. That is what really set me off on playing with the bricks instead of just putting the sets together and playing with them as designed via the instructions. Now I was able to make anything and everything. Not just a car or a plane. What a great toy.

Did you ever get a different brick system toy? I did. It was some kind of a space vehicle with wheels, and it was very cool, but those bricks would not work with LEGO, so it just stayed a space vehicle and would not be incorporated into my latest LEGO build. That was disappointing mostly because it had some cool pieces.

Later on I got into the TECHNIC sets. My first one was a Bulldozer/Backhoe. I remember thinking how much harder it was to put this set together compared to the other smaller sets, but how much cooler it was with moving parts and everything. If I recall correctly (which most of the time I don't) there was a rubber band or two used for tension. That's just plain CRAZY!

I did some searching and came up with some cool LEGO links for you. By the way, when you Google LEGO, you get 77,400,000 links.

Baconator

My girlfriend Elise and I have this running joke about bacon and how much I enjoy the stuff. We'll be talking and one of us will say something about how this or that would be vastly improved with bacon. Or just totally non-sequitor "What movie do you want to watch?" Answer; "Bacon."

So when I found the great stand-up routine by Jim Gaffigan (see last blog post) it started a whole new level of bacon fun. Today I bring you bacony links and things about bacon that you may not know or have never considered would, could, or should be bacony.
