88: They Can Do Me Right Next To You [June 13, 2014] - a podcast by Tom Barbalet

Heron wants to talk about cellular automata. Heron has nothing to say on the Turing test. Tom provides a blueprint for how to approach science journalists and talks about Heron's brother Oliver's Untold History of the United States. The Source Family is an ongoing topic. Driving video games are discussed. Heron talks about his stones. Heron has a new dog. What has Tom learnt from WWDC this year? Tom is retiring a story from his mis-spent youth featuring a cyber legend (http://barbalet.net/log/jul05.html#1040pm29). [Editorial note: Following intervention the WSJ modified their article to give a correct attribution to Inness' departure and removed the quote from him (http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB116863379291775523)]. Heron has another keyboard he wants to rap on. Is the app better than the book? Tom has been rationalizing his Facebook usage thanks to the movie, Her. Get yourself comfortable for this meandering wandering. Heron asks about blackberries. Motorcycle clubs are a surprise topic followed by meeting Hitler in Argentina. Tom has some sad news to share with the Stone Ape audience and Heron. Tom is a good faux lawyer (http://youtu.be/EpJtoK0DmY4). Tom and Heron wrap on listener submitted questions including a resource based economy, changing stories and scientific dogma. Don't contact Tom about funky fusion. [Editor's note: Tom's curtains feature briefly here (http://youtu.be/kYR6JqeSWSs)]. They rap on Tom and Heron's living conditions. Tom asks Heron about the US prior to the war on drugs and reflects on the honeymoon period of communes versus twenty years in. Heron likes Natural Born Killers. Tom recommends (again) VICE's coverage of the Ukraine. Tom explores the perils of grocery shopping in summer in California. Heron seems unimpressed with an anniversary. What has the cost of living got to do with your dreams? Heron provides some news from Marie and Justin.
