OK, so only minor breaks, I think
The feed subscription buttons may not be working, or at least the images are gone. Back soon, once this is fixed.
Swearing under breath,

Not dead. Just sick.
I’m nicknaming this one “Frogthroat Fever.” Costume Con was awesome. See May 1st at my Live Journal. Yes, I’ve been sucked into that web community thingy, but it’s not as bad as the Twitter crack.
Back soon, I hope. I need to do an upgrade on WordPress, so if this breaks, please pardon the absence and check the LJ for news of me until I get it fixed.

Gah! file fall down.
See the comments on the previous post. I’m working on it, but it may take a few days. I will also put up another file in ~ the next week, depending on the amount of time the fix takes.

TASCF_Ep056_John-Cmar-by-fomites
An interview with JohnCmarMD, brought to you by fomites
(note: file location fixed on April 10)
First, administrivia: new forums! http://www.farpointforums.com/ we’re toward the bottom of the show list. Please sign up and join the discussion.
Special message for CRN (childfree resource network) and Hudson: my attempts to reply to your email fail. Please provide me a working email address.
And the interview with John Cmar, an Infectious Diseases doc. We talk about geekiness, med, the podosphere, and lab geekiness. And the usual CF questions tossed in there periodically. I had loads of fun talking with John, and all glitch bits are due to my editing it down to under an hour.

OK, I’m recovering from being sick last week, so another episode in about 2-3 weeks.
March 20th, 2008
OK, mostly caught up.
I’m caught up (mostly) from being out of town, etc. I have recorded the next episode, and just in time! My voice is going. 
It should be up within the next week.
Talk soon, CF
March 3rd, 2008
back in town, back on podosphere soon
Family funeral took DH and I back to Toledo for a week on short notice, and we just got back. Next podcast should go up in a week or so. I have a lot of life-catching-up to do first. My luggage should arrive tomorrow, then work, laundry, cooking, rescheduling the stuff that got skipped…
Back soon, folks. FYI, CF

Local Steamheads, Unite (or at least have lunch!)
(Podcast fans, fear not, I expect the next episode will be out this week. My voice is back, now I can record again, edit, etc.)
Please join me and other Bay area steamheads for a costumes-encouraged-but-not-required lunch on Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 12:30. Show off your latest project, find ideas for accomplishing the thing you have sortof sketched out, or trade resources and discuss steam-powered literature, music, or movies!
My attempts to find a place with adequate parking, etc. in Union City and Hayward did not meet with success, so we’ll be at 39200 Fremont Blvd, Fremont, CA, between Mowry Ave. and Beacon Ave. The Fremont Bank is best seen from the street, and in an inner lot there is plenty of parking, my favorite local Mediterranean place (Falafel, etc. , $5-$10 a plate, 510-795-7170) with indoor and outdoor seating, a Chinese restaurant, and Nation’s Giant Hamburger. We can vote on a restaurant once we’re at the parking lot, although I highly recommend Falafel, etc.
IMPORTANT: I have invited the steam-interested members of the local costume guild as well as 2 LJ communities, so commenting HERE is the only way to coordinate all of you. Please use the comments here to find/share rides, etc. Email me at chris @ gettingby.net if you have problems commenting in the website (not pocast@ like usual here).
RSVPs- A “Maybe” comment/email is ok if you really don’t know, but notice of roughly how many AND HOW MANY IN COSTUME is requested. I intend to wear my Agatha costume and steamed-up denim coat, PROVIDED at least 1 other person/group comments here that they are definitely showing up in noticeable costume. If you are suddenly unable to come or wear a costume as you had previously indicated, PLEASE email me, even if it’s only an hour beforehand and other people said they were also dressing up.
Yours in Science, Chris Fisher, CSO HMA Ingenuity

Uh-oh! Voiceless Kitty!
I recorded the Contraceptive News Chunk on Friday, but couldn’t finish the whole episode before losing my voice entirely. Hopefully next week I’ll have the next podcast up.
I’m home sick today, after the fever came back briefly at work yesterday. I’m still voiceless but less out-of-it. Henry and I have had tickets to see the Cirque show Kooza tonight in San Jose for 3 months now, and I’m hoping to be well enough by then. Not dizzy or nauseous, that’s all I need.
OK, back to naptime,

Yyyyes! Back in the podosphere. Episode 54 has a summary of the last 3 months, 4 new NK chapters, 2 Happy Things, and the 2nd half of the George Hrab interview.
George’s book, music, blog, and podcast are all Happy Things.
Catch you in 2 weeks!

Heeeeerrrre goes!
I am about to put up the next and long-overdue podcast after all of Summer’s valiant efforts to undo the tech mess that I managed to create behind the deceptively placid facade of this website. (Thanks, Summer!)
You can hear all about how I’m doing, new NK chapters, Happy Things, and the 2nd part of the George Hrab interview in the audio of the next post.
*inhale* ahhh, it’s good to be back in the podosphere!

No children welcome at a cocktail party… *gasp* or *duhhhh*?
This goes right up there with late-night Dragon*con, bachelorette parties, and IRS audits as expected Adult Spaces. Worth a read.

Happy holiday/nearly 2008!
I believe I dragged an entire media group into tech hell with me, rather than get pulled out by them. As Murphy’s High Priestess of Podcasting, I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m hoping to be up sometime in the first quarter of the new year, may it be better all around than this one. Since we last talked, I’ve been in a car accident, recovered 95%, repaired my car, been reimbursed, bought a telescope, finished and mailed my Xmas crafts, and learned how to make pretty decent dumplings from scratch. I also caught my first nasty cold of the season, and my voice is now recovering. At the company Holiday party, I walked away with a sizeable Harry & David’s gift basket and am still nibbling away at it. Whoo!
Congrats to the new No Kidding! chapters: Orange County, CA; Tulsa, OK; Belgrade, Montana; and Shenzen, China. See the sidebar link on the right to find your nearest chapter or how to start one.
If you are a blogger attending BlogHer this summer, and you’re interested in being on a childfree women’s panel, please contact me. Teri the Purple woman is organizing this, and we need a voice to counteract the very vocal mommybloggers group being seen as encompassing all of techno-NewMedia-womanhood. Not to dis them or diminish their importance to the blogosphere, but society already has this tendency to see all women as now-or-future-mommies, and that’s just not true anymore. The first step to respecting women outside that social role is recognition that womanhood is separate from mommyhood. That will help us all.
If my podcast doesn’t get up in another month, I’ll probably revert to mor regular text-blogging and be on the panel as the relevant-stats-presenter. As it is, I don’t know if podcast-with-show-notes-blog counts. What do you think? Does it count as blogging? Let me know at the podcast at gettingby.net email.
Also, I’m dropping the voicemail line in 3 weeks at the end of this billing cycle. It’s a paid-for line, and I just can’t justify the monthly expense with my photo business (chronic fatigue) and my podcast (tech hell) both down for an unknown time. So if you ever felt like leaving a voice “hello” to me, please do so before Jan. 20th. 510-402-4888 while it lasts.
