32: Denied Permission for an Emergency Landing at Clavius

 

00:00:00   well as it happens I'm on my way up to the moon [TS]

00:00:03   are you by any chance going up you're basically yes as a matter of fact I am [TS]

00:00:08   it is there any particular reason why you ask [TS]

00:00:12   well I hope you don't think I'm too inquisitive but perhaps you can clear up [TS]

00:00:17   the mystery about what's going on I'm sorry but I'm not sure I know what you [TS]

00:00:22   mean [TS]

00:00:23   well it's just for the past two weeks there have been some extremely odd [TS]

00:00:27   things happening at Clearview clearly yes well for one thing whenever you [TS]

00:00:32   phone the base all you get is recording which repeat the phone lines are [TS]

00:00:35   temporarily out of order [TS]

00:00:38   well I suppose they've been having a bit of trouble with some of the equipment [TS]

00:00:40   yes well at first we thought that was the expertise has been going on for the [TS]

00:00:45   past 10 days you mean you haven't been able to get any one of the base for 10 [TS]

00:00:49   days that's right I see two days ago when a rocket buses was denied [TS]

00:00:55   permission for an emergency landing at previous how did they manage to do that [TS]

00:01:00   without any communication previous Control came on the air just long enough [TS]

00:01:04   to transmit their refusal well that does sound very odd I'm afraid there's going [TS]

00:01:09   to be a bit of a row about it [TS]

00:01:11   denying them in permission to land was a direct violation of the IAS convention [TS]

00:01:15   and yes well I hope the crew got back safely [TS]

00:01:18   fortunately they did well I'm glad about that doctor at the region impressing you [TS]

00:01:24   an appointment reticent to discuss may I ask you a straightforward question [TS]

00:01:28   certainly quite frankly we have some very reliable intelligence reports that [TS]

00:01:34   a quite serious epidemic has broken out at Clearview something apparently of an [TS]

00:01:39   unknown origin is this in fact what has happened I'm sorry doctor smiles love [TS]

00:01:46   but I'm really not at liberty to discuss this epidemic could you please bring to [TS]

00:01:51   our based we should be given all the facts are just my life and not permitted [TS]

00:01:57   to discuss this [TS]

00:01:59   so I'm here in Chicago who are partners world headquarters with my good friend [TS]

00:02:06   Jim Kudal jim welcome thank you [TS]

00:02:10   last night we went to see a screening of 2001 a Space Odyssey the Music Box [TS]

00:02:17   Theatre Music Box Theatre seventy millimeter print a couple years ago we [TS]

00:02:24   were there there was a new a new printer this movie that came out and we thought [TS]

00:02:27   we were going to go see it was a different folder sort of scratched up [TS]

00:02:32   seventeen we were gonna go we went through the what are our dinner at Ohio [TS]

00:02:37   State University because we had heard that they had the new print and as soon [TS]

00:02:42   as it was sold out it was great to see it projected large but as soon as it [TS]

00:02:45   started rolling there is a ticking artifact the left side channel of the [TS]

00:02:50   audio in the first section of the film as soon as we heard that taking we knew [TS]

00:02:54   that we were watching that same old print so if you go to see 2001 in [TS]

00:02:59   seventy millimeter premium know you got the rape women the picture is absolutely [TS]

00:03:03   gorgeous and there's no crazy audio thing on the list right and in addition [TS]

00:03:07   to the fact that we didn't have any audio error last night there was a [TS]

00:03:11   digital audio right thing was not the the analog audio decided that we were [TS]

00:03:19   lucky enough to meet to chat with the projectionist last night during [TS]

00:03:22   intermission how's that your mission in a film so called and he said that [TS]

00:03:27   originally the seventy million prints were released with an optical audio [TS]

00:03:31   track that ran alongside the picture and that after that they used a strip of MAG [TS]

00:03:40   like magnetic tape that ran along picture but then now all that's a long [TS]

00:03:45   time to pictures time code and its slaves basically a CD player which has [TS]

00:03:51   all the digital audio life so [TS]

00:03:52   but you know even though the audit was perfectly clear it is an old track and I [TS]

00:03:59   believe that it's mono and I also know we also noticed that there's very little [TS]

00:04:04   bottom and they're very little based on the track and I think that's probably [TS]

00:04:07   true of most of the films of that era we're sort of spoiled now by you know [TS]

00:04:13   transformers and everything else these chest-thumping subwoofer later exactly [TS]

00:04:19   exactly although it did sound great and they did it again no bottom and it was [TS]

00:04:25   no bueno had been based in addition to a truly truly magnificent picture quality [TS]

00:04:30   and sounded great [TS]

00:04:32   yeah it was you know I see my father took me to see 2001 I can't figure out [TS]

00:04:39   exactly what it was but it was soon after came out I would put me about [TS]

00:04:42   eight years old so little girl died but and I remember being enthralled and [TS]

00:04:47   confused by the film but this was certainly the best representation of [TS]

00:04:54   film I've ever seen and we were sitting in the second row and that was the right [TS]

00:04:58   place to be for house family can I think the film film has been part of a seventy [TS]

00:05:05   millimeter festival that they're running and I think every seat for every show [TS]

00:05:09   sold out right away pretty cool so I don't think anybody who ever go see this [TS]

00:05:20   movie you come out of it and you do exactly what I was saying I'm not gonna [TS]

00:05:23   do we start talking about whether we were with my 12 year old line yesterday [TS]

00:05:28   so we couldn't help his first question is what I actually like I really thought [TS]

00:05:34   that Spencer had a truly fabulous interpretation of the last shot of the [TS]

00:05:40   movie which is that it [TS]

00:05:41   Superman floating over the earth and I know he was kinda half joking but I [TS]

00:05:47   actually think that you know that to me is the basic gist of the story as I see [TS]

00:05:51   it yes [TS]

00:05:52   is that four million years ago whoever these whoever this is with behind the [TS]

00:05:57   mindless used to model it turn our ape-like ancestors in the men that junk [TS]

00:06:04   how do we turn from apes two men it was with their help and mom and that now [TS]

00:06:10   four million years later through the same people's help Dave Bowman has [TS]

00:06:16   become the first whatever's next after us going from humans to whichever is [TS]

00:06:22   greater than humans day bowman's the first one is yes and I don't think [TS]

00:06:27   Spencer is a person with that theory but that's the best I can make of either you [TS]

00:06:32   know it the more I learn about the film and the more I see it the less I care [TS]

00:06:36   about what the actual specific meaning of that last reel of film is you know it [TS]

00:06:44   takes it so interesting me all the details in the middle section of the [TS]

00:06:49   Jupiter discovery section all the details of everything takes forever and [TS]

00:06:52   it's you see every little bit of everything and then we make a huge job [TS]

00:06:59   you know obviously the most famous caught in cinema history between the [TS]

00:07:03   bone in the spaceship and I jump and then you know jumped on that flits can [TS]

00:07:07   acid-induced sort of color sex and it really is right there's these two [TS]

00:07:14   fantastic believes in the movie there's the one where you did jump cut from four [TS]

00:07:18   million years ago to 40 years in the future I mean I still think of it as the [TS]

00:07:24   future you know it's eleven years after right but over the past 12 years now but [TS]

00:07:33   then that last real is another jump like that where I mean who knows when or [TS]

00:07:37   where you are but the other thing that really strike struck me last night I [TS]

00:07:42   mean I again is super obvious but up until that last real up until you that [TS]

00:07:47   this lips skin [TS]

00:07:48   I I think of it like I always thought he was going through hyperspace or [TS]

00:07:52   something that's where he's going to wherever the people who made the model [TS]

00:07:56   are right but at that moment the movie shifts from two hours or so [TS]

00:08:04   being extremely almost identically scientific like both in from the caveman [TS]

00:08:10   stuff through the space stuff you know this sort of almost extraordinary [TS]

00:08:15   precision and an attempt to do everything as realistically as possible [TS]

00:08:21   to a final reel which every single second of it who knows if anybody's even [TS]

00:08:30   realize it completely and there is an embodiment ad is it the wormhole fruit [TS]

00:08:41   basis it you know [TS]

00:08:44   centers other theory was when the very old man wakes up in the end he said it [TS]

00:08:48   was all a dream [TS]

00:08:49   sort of a conventional hollywood way to approach it if you have a chance to see [TS]

00:08:54   this print and we understand that this will be the print that circulate [TS]

00:08:58   circulating so I would certainly encourage you to have a chance to see it [TS]

00:09:02   to see it it the first time I ever saw the film where things started to feel [TS]

00:09:11   and I don't mean that like as an insult to the film obviously it's special [TS]

00:09:16   effects and it's from 1968 but the you mentioned last night I think the same [TS]

00:09:24   thing the 3d model stuff like of the discovery still holds up really well but [TS]

00:09:29   some of the scenes are actually 2d photo realistic paintings or photographs that [TS]

00:09:38   are moved across another 2d surface and the fidelity of the picture [TS]

00:09:43   last night it was a little bit put the light of it looked flat yeah not bad [TS]

00:09:53   glad so it sort of is sort of interesting to see a projected that such [TS]

00:09:59   a different thing than to see even the DVD on your big screen flat screen at [TS]

00:10:03   home whenever so and some of the stuff honestly I really don't think that it's [TS]

00:10:07   just me being there Norma's fan of the movie special effects seemed still look [TS]

00:10:13   as good as anything you ever gonna see because it looks absolutely real there's [TS]

00:10:18   some shots where the camera is sort of stationary and space outer space and the [TS]

00:10:24   discovery is passing over it and it it looks and only you can never be [TS]

00:10:30   surpassed because it really looks like what it would look like if you put a [TS]

00:10:32   seventy millimeter camera in outer space [TS]

00:10:35   a real discovery and fluid over the camera and every fly by the camera of [TS]

00:10:43   every space ship since 1968 owes its existence to that particular opening [TS]

00:10:48   scene and a lot of the interiors opening scene of the discovery of the Jupiter [TS]

00:10:54   sex in the interiors really hold up like just remarkably well just in terms of [TS]

00:11:00   does that feel like it this could be a real pod bay station starship and it [TS]

00:11:07   just feels absolutely we can actually focus wardrobe is sort of right back in [TS]

00:11:11   style right now everything is like very contemporary yeah I do you know I guess [TS]

00:11:19   we gotta get on them to to Barry Lyndon extremely I would be there would be a [TS]

00:11:23   great pic cuz I that's another member I would just love to see it on the big [TS]

00:11:27   screen of all of the other films I think that would be the one just talking about [TS]

00:11:32   seeing a projected that would be the next protected [TS]

00:11:36   I was at that Kubrick exhibit in Amsterdam and that just sort of [TS]

00:11:40   interesting it's now in LA and I and it seemed as if they had this big space at [TS]

00:11:47   the new film museum right on the water they're really rebuilding and it each [TS]

00:11:51   the space was divided up by the movie so there was one section that was dr. [TS]

00:11:55   Strangelove and it was another section of was 2001 and there was another [TS]

00:11:59   section that was passed but that really cool thing was they were showing a [TS]

00:12:04   projection of long sequences from the film on large screens in each of the [TS]

00:12:10   sections but the sections of the exhibit were not separated from each other so [TS]

00:12:14   while you were watching Alex in clockwork you could hear how the other [TS]

00:12:20   side of the room and you could hear work in monthly talking to the russian Prime [TS]

00:12:26   premier from strangelove it had it was like your head it was like the net [TS]

00:12:31   effect of it was like maybe what it might have been to be like you because [TS]

00:12:34   you had all these ideas floating around in your head and one time there's a [TS]

00:12:39   great app for that exhibit two videos de VC nao yeah and it's got two photos I've [TS]

00:12:43   never never seen anywhere before that impacts photos are in that episode even [TS]

00:12:47   in the exhibit interests yes anybody out there is an interesting Kubrick and if [TS]

00:12:51   you're not you're probably already stopped the podcast [TS]

00:12:54   you gotta go to the Apple App Store just search for Kubrick and I think that's [TS]

00:12:59   actually just the name of the app can you but it's it's like a great people [TS]

00:13:04   get really coffee-table book is really there is another thing just a random [TS]

00:13:09   thing that stuck out to me I said I mentioned this to you last night after [TS]

00:13:12   the film but I'd never thought about it before but it really stuck out to me was [TS]

00:13:17   in the caveman sequence in the pre-history sequence there's a scene [TS]

00:13:22   where a cheetah is up on like a liberal little small cliff above the the tribe [TS]

00:13:31   and pounces on the tax one of the tribes people [TS]

00:13:35   and I don't know how they shot that because I realized it's and it wasn't [TS]

00:13:40   all my stuff you know with cuts it was like 11 shot I believe I think you when [TS]

00:13:45   it jumped a cut when the Tigers jumped and then the rest of it is just hold on [TS]

00:13:50   a shot I got kind of a long shot of guy guy but he's never been fighting a [TS]

00:14:05   cheetah and and everybody knows that there was it was people in suits doing [TS]

00:14:10   so they have like a guy in a suit fighting against the front projector [TS]

00:14:16   glass screen showing the go hard desert like and you know I noticed it seemed to [TS]

00:14:22   but not do it didn't occur to me i guess im so immune to Hollywood special [TS]

00:14:27   effects you know they just one of the Oscar nominated films as a boy the tiger [TS]

00:14:30   in a boat for god sakes maybe it didn't occur to me that that can't actually [TS]

00:14:36   attacking that guy but the thing that it could mean that Sheen is that the color [TS]

00:14:40   correction was often its relative to the scenes before and after it and it made [TS]

00:14:45   me so I can see this movie too many times but it made me think I bet I bet [TS]

00:14:49   they only got that once like the only got the action they wanted once and [TS]

00:14:53   maybe the lighting was incorrect but the fact was that they needed the action so [TS]

00:14:58   they had to do what they could with the color correction to make it sort of fit [TS]

00:15:01   with the scene that came before and after I i agree with that they were [TS]

00:15:05   there is something off about the lady I love to see where the leopard turns into [TS]

00:15:09   the camera and the front projection light is reflected in his eyes from you [TS]

00:15:14   that's like which probably wouldn't happen in need to know in a way let's [TS]

00:15:20   talk about one other thing is to see a lot of see that you've got a good big [TS]

00:15:23   laughs in the movie always gets a big laugh when you see the movie it's the [TS]

00:15:25   zero-gravity toilet instructions right on the pan-am shuttle yeah that's the [TS]

00:15:32   way it would put it on ya that he's going to the spaces [TS]

00:15:38   species and its like paragraphs and paragraphs of text and I believe it's [TS]

00:15:43   all real texas not late lorem ipsum dolar and that comes up and he he would [TS]

00:15:48   put looking at it he's like puzzled by it and I sort of think that that scene [TS]

00:15:53   is like maybe only seen the film that actually doesn't fit that actually [TS]

00:15:57   they're just as again because as you said he's been he's been flying around [TS]

00:16:04   the galaxy for a long time he's been on the ship before I if I'm hard to believe [TS]

00:16:08   he had had to go to the bathroom before right and secondly if everyone who ever [TS]

00:16:14   flew on these ships used a zero-gravity toilet with they have to have like all [TS]

00:16:19   of these instruction me it's clearly a joke for the contemporary audience [TS]

00:16:25   watching the film which is really very little of that is that the stewardesses [TS]

00:16:30   I think all mister discuss their not really played it to write a stewardess [TS]

00:16:34   shoes which have some velcro on the bottom to keep her from to allow her to [TS]

00:16:40   walk in zero gravity [TS]

00:16:41   it's a grip shoes on the side and for me that and it looked cool its own sake of [TS]

00:16:46   the gate is looking thing but to me that was another thing like thing for the [TS]

00:16:50   audience because if everybody wore those shoes you wouldn't put groups you it [TS]

00:16:54   doesn't stay tennis shoes I'm going to get my shoes you know it doesn't you [TS]

00:16:57   know like so it was sort of a way to give out to scientific information was [TS]

00:17:03   almost as though they they did like it was almost the equivalent of putting a [TS]

00:17:08   graphic on-screen within our oh you know like a pop up ground that like labels it [TS]

00:17:13   explains it or like you do in you know like some kind of folks will will [TS]

00:17:17   explain [TS]

00:17:17   Lake like your dick tracey comics Road withdraw like a little arrow to his [TS]

00:17:22   watch and say to a wrist radio writer as well as proof of how smart we are about [TS]

00:17:26   the future you know and I do kinda miss Panama now after seeing it again you [TS]

00:17:32   know is there any more pain a merely they were gonna be the ones that made it [TS]

00:17:36   to the major but they didn't yes we we don't really do that is still good right [TS]

00:17:43   it was my belly and what it was but many interesting great time I do I so many [TS]

00:17:54   scenes that I love but did the CNN help to me is one of my favorites so when we [TS]

00:18:00   do what we did a reader here for the opening and there's something about the [TS]

00:18:07   way that the guy who plays Haywood Lloyd I don't know I know he's never been [TS]

00:18:13   anything but he's he's so deadpan in terms of obviously knows but he's not [TS]

00:18:20   under plane is not overplaying it is just dont face about it and he's not you [TS]

00:18:25   know he's not tight-lipped about it really seems like exactly the sort of [TS]

00:18:30   guy who you want and the government to trust with the single greatest secret [TS]

00:18:34   the government ever had [TS]

00:18:36   yeah it really does seem like the perfect guy yeah and then he does the [TS]

00:18:39   presentation later he doesn't really say anything to anyone right you know he's a [TS]

00:18:44   perfect government trying to figure they still really the only guy who knows what [TS]

00:18:50   the hell is going on even in the presentation yeah yeah right [TS]

00:18:54   yeah he's just trying to keep them in line right sort of they get it's almost [TS]

00:18:59   like just like a formality like it just just just good manners I'm not gonna not [TS]

00:19:07   address you but I'm not going to tell you anything we need to address it right [TS]

00:19:10   you have to keep up the charade epidemic but it's a beautiful kubrick in thing [TS]

00:19:15   too is that you she said that the scene was myself in the Hilton and he end and [TS]

00:19:20   the end of that scene that we just kind of went through is where he [TS]

00:19:24   he accuses void of hiding the fact that they're just happened to mechanically [TS]

00:19:28   base and then later he makes the presentation and he talked about what's [TS]

00:19:33   going on the basis of the end of the presentation shows and that's why it's [TS]

00:19:36   so important that we keep up the appearance of an epidemic and base so at [TS]

00:19:42   the moment when we first saw Floyd we didn't know why he thought about this [TS]

00:19:47   idea of an epidemic and later we find out what a cool caddy is because she's [TS]

00:19:51   orchestrated this entire cover story it's good [TS]

00:19:54   exposition Bay Cuba because we know as little as the people in this scene we [TS]

00:19:59   are like the russians in the first scene and in the second thing of the [TS]

00:20:03   presentation we are like the ignorant other officials from the garage area so [TS]

00:20:07   it's nice we learn as characters in the film learn sort of like David hey we've [TS]

00:20:16   got one over on us too and then there's the you pointed out that on the next [TS]

00:20:23   shuttle the smaller one that goes from the space station to cuevas where [TS]

00:20:27   they're wearing actually gotten on suits [TS]

00:20:30   sandwiches and the guys I great presentation yeah you really fucked up [TS]

00:20:35   the true but he didn't do anything unless for some authors beachy gave that [TS]

00:20:42   we didn't see i dont well maybe but I don't think I think it was in reference [TS]

00:20:46   to that presentation and I think he was just trying to be complementary to [TS]

00:20:50   clearly you know to the highest-ranking guy that he's he's probably ever gonna [TS]

00:20:55   encounters yeah but that guy you what was going on right now is one of the [TS]

00:20:59   guys at Clearview so they clearly the two people who aren't a fan of the movie [TS]

00:21:08   the well they certainly would have hit pause by now read the complaint and it's [TS]

00:21:16   really is that the film is tedious its TV is deliberately that [TS]

00:21:22   racial there's yeah there's there's extended sequences of people doing truly [TS]

00:21:30   mundane things and the point of it it's almost like a deliberation on what the [TS]

00:21:37   mundane aspects of the future going to be almost like a painstakingly detailed [TS]

00:21:44   we've thought of every single thing we're gonna show it to you yeah and it [TS]

00:21:48   in the pacing of it it doesn't always puts me in a certain mindset where it [TS]

00:21:53   doesn't Jones me out yeah and and dads and moms breathing through the whole [TS]

00:22:00   thing has sort of the Zen sort of a quantity quality too late when he opens [TS]

00:22:06   please give you the explosive bolts to get back into the discovery when he [TS]

00:22:11   opened that hand crank door it takes for ever like he just turned it in turns it [TS]

00:22:18   in turns it and turned it and we're waiting we're waiting we're waiting in [TS]

00:22:21   the tension is building and building a billion it's just beautiful the whole [TS]

00:22:24   film as I mean the whole middle section at film is the most anti science fiction [TS]

00:22:29   science fiction film ever made [TS]

00:22:31   there's like in the time it took him to open that door in most science fiction [TS]

00:22:35   films civilizations will have borne lived and died in the same time it took [TS]

00:22:41   to open the door to new generations of weapons will be countered that weapons [TS]

00:22:46   it would have been shown to 10 minutes ago exactly it is a movie but it's [TS]

00:22:53   alright movie is now is a lot different than it was in 1968 and most of them [TS]

00:22:59   over everything I would say one of the little ideas about it is that it's it's [TS]

00:23:06   a g-rated movie and surely the only G-rated movies Stanley Kubrick ever made [TS]

00:23:11   yeah which i think is a little weird because I just seems to me like a [TS]

00:23:19   murderous robot may BPG already I mean 44 people get murdered yeah including [TS]

00:23:28   Frank pool who'd I think kind of gives more [TS]

00:23:31   nerd and one of the most terrifying ways imaginable I mean it's maybe even worse [TS]

00:23:36   than drowning right just to be in a suit knowing that you've been cut you know he [TS]

00:23:41   had a couple seconds there before he died revenue while going to die and I'm [TS]

00:23:45   gonna float away into truly oblivion and of course the actual act expires on [TS]

00:23:50   screen right [TS]

00:23:52   spent their time can be spent his time shows every little detail of every [TS]

00:23:57   little thing except for the most crucial moment and that really the film that [TS]

00:24:00   happens offering frame and the murder of the three crew members who are [TS]

00:24:07   hibernating hibernating is is something to yeah I did it was a murderers row but [TS]

00:24:14   it would have been PG-thirteen but it's a dream it's a little difficult right [TS]

00:24:18   and I do think that might be why they see it that way because how physical [TS]

00:24:23   instantiation isn't a robot isn't that a humanoid types III PLO thing is really [TS]

00:24:29   just a presence on the ship camera that you know he's a series of red cameras at [TS]

00:24:34   a voice like you know if you want to think about it is almost like he's the [TS]

00:24:39   ship right yeah it's like when we think of being killed by machines generally we [TS]

00:24:44   made in the marching at us with lasers you know what I mean not turning off the [TS]

00:24:51   power to our hibernation and that whole as that whole sequence after how kills [TS]

00:24:58   Frank pool and his body is going out into oblivion [TS]

00:25:02   what Dave Bowman does then is never explained he doesn't say anything cuz he [TS]

00:25:11   did only person he would talk to would be how many clearing those against it [TS]

00:25:14   seems realistic to me it seems you know but it's also seems like unlike most [TS]

00:25:19   hollywood movies where he never does like a chick's ass fisted how and swears [TS]

00:25:24   revenge and screams out of me and says well I'm gonna go get his body or [TS]

00:25:29   something like that you know I'm not gonna let him I'm not gonna let him go [TS]

00:25:35   like that i mean clearly news dad and doing a reason he went to get him as out [TS]

00:25:39   of respect for his friend in yeah I wasn't like he thought he had any hope [TS]

00:25:43   of saving his life he just you know he went out to retrieve his body and it's [TS]

00:25:50   you know it's minutes long and I wonder how long that it seems is one of the [TS]

00:25:54   things I would be surprised if somebody told me it was actually twenty minutes [TS]

00:25:57   maybe 20 minutes before he gets down the steps gets into a tiny leaves until the [TS]

00:26:05   time you blow through the explosive bolts to get back and that's a long and [TS]

00:26:10   again glacial and quiet sort of a sequence you know like even when he [TS]

00:26:15   blows the bowls didn't even hear the explosion attorneys like the middle east [TS]

00:26:19   Scotland idea is based on your screen like there's no sound of the explosion [TS]

00:26:23   killed me sound comes as he closed the door in Harrisburg to rush back into the [TS]

00:26:28   airlock Justin choice they're right and that is one of them when I say it's like [TS]

00:26:33   super scientific one of the ways that the film is when the camera is exterior [TS]

00:26:38   space there is no doubt spaceships don't make any whooshing sound it's just pure [TS]

00:26:43   silence and the sound some of the sounds in the movie was so loud in the theater [TS]

00:26:48   the silence really pops the silence it's it's like you know a great visual in [TS]

00:26:52   graphic design where r if you make truly great use of white space its striking [TS]

00:26:56   but then the only time here burner upset would be to use the breathing of an [TS]

00:27:03   astronaut [TS]

00:27:04   and restorative it almost like audio audio wise put you in a first-person [TS]

00:27:09   perspective yes yes the same way of a point of view camera that's exactly [TS]

00:27:13   that's exactly it every time you the busy you are days like in a way you know [TS]

00:27:17   what i mean you are so it almost makes my face feel hot like I can feel my own [TS]

00:27:22   hot breath [TS]

00:27:24   classes you know in clothes helmets are you is at how killed me and my body was [TS]

00:27:38   floating out into the middle of nowhere between Jupiter and Mars would you get [TS]

00:27:43   pot and come out my speed my body yes because I that moment I did not know [TS]

00:27:49   that help me to remember how doesn't reveal that he had read his lips until [TS]

00:27:55   after so I you get the feeling is suspicious beyond the fact just you just [TS]

00:28:05   from the look on his face but yeah of course I could but of course but then [TS]

00:28:12   when I got back and I couldn't get in and have to let you get away and I think [TS]

00:28:16   Bowman at that point is angry I think he knows it tells fall but that he's only [TS]

00:28:21   unsure whether it's how is malfunctioning [TS]

00:28:26   forum 11 yeah right and so I think though and I you know and I think he's [TS]

00:28:32   so in the state of shock because you know I mean I was used for his friend [TS]

00:28:36   the only guys talked to him last year I don't know how long you been up there a [TS]

00:28:39   long time [TS]

00:28:40   month mission and it seems like they're pretty far along well is mostly almost [TS]

00:28:45   there right because he sees the video transmission from Floyd when he's [TS]

00:28:51   disconnecting half and that he says [TS]

00:28:55   we're only gonna give you this message now that you're in reach [TS]

00:28:59   so much like eighteen months in like 18 months he joined by just known as in [TS]

00:29:06   Stata shopkeeper gets his helmet or you know whatever whether he completely [TS]

00:29:10   forgot them and I think we're just made the assumption that I don't really need [TS]

00:29:13   it cuz I'm not going out of the pod I'm just going to use the arms to get Frank [TS]

00:29:17   how let me back in here just never even occurred to him that how ya that's [TS]

00:29:23   actually the and then there's you know you go into that whole sequence of [TS]

00:29:31   split-screen Cameron everything that goes into their now there's two ways [TS]

00:29:35   this movie can go really one way is if you stay on the same path he wound up in [TS]

00:29:40   the room at the way floors and Dave Bowman and the changing of time and [TS]

00:29:46   place baby but if you make a little left hand turn right there you run right into [TS]

00:29:50   the currents Malick's Tree of Life and then the move that movie takes over from [TS]

00:29:53   there so that's the primordial ooze from which or something that you couldn't [TS]

00:30:03   make science fiction will be held a double feature the coffee would be like [TS]

00:30:12   six hours I could stand up everybody else [TS]

00:33:00   bit they're sponsoring the deck to like other smart companies very smart [TS]

00:33:10   companies let's talk about the deck so when I love we've been going since about [TS]

00:33:17   2002 was kind of in its infancy and then really started getting going in 2009 so [TS]

00:33:26   it kinda it really is a small text ads service as a sort of a proof of concept [TS]

00:33:33   and originally just 39 google.com and then after that I got through about it [TS]

00:33:40   so I think 2009 was when we might have run a little at the end of 2008 to 2009 [TS]

00:33:44   would have been the first year the deck here we are in 13 years or older I [TS]

00:33:52   thought it was going to be sitting in my office I can say what I remember was it [TS]

00:34:00   first launched with you and 37 signals and and tell them that is correct you [TS]

00:34:08   are correct and you guys do boxing I think yes [TS]

00:34:14   2006 and 2007 2008 2007 yes it really sort of calling sides of their enviable [TS]

00:34:21   full-time and prior to that I ran into him time feels like it but prior to that [TS]

00:34:28   I've been selling my own totally text ads same spot where the decades are down [TS]

00:34:33   fireball rose more than just text and similar model were sort of like my RSS [TS]

00:34:38   sponsorship still are where 2011 spot a week one sponsor me and you were buying [TS]

00:34:45   those fights occasionally for Joel boxing and i dont think Ill just then so [TS]

00:34:52   was just starting today so boxing is back then people actually needed this so [TS]

00:34:58   that's how old we are displayed this but I think some people still do this is to [TS]

00:35:03   better still not very many record to the old and I was gonna go when I wanted to [TS]

00:35:11   take her in trouble time I needed somebody else to solve that I needed [TS]

00:35:15   bigger better added you as I just emailed you to say hey thanks for all of [TS]

00:35:20   the boxing things you sponsor here but I'm gonna go with so I'm gonna start [TS]

00:35:26   looking for something else [TS]

00:35:27   Brad yeah and you really hope that by John give you a week and then like we [TS]

00:35:33   usually are you want to be in the day I was always convinced it would work and I [TS]

00:35:40   believe it was at South by in 2006 where I got it was easy to talk to Jason [TS]

00:35:45   freedom to because we shared an office [TS]

00:35:47   Jason Newsted think imma do it and then I talked Jeffrey Feltman into it for us [TS]

00:35:53   apart and then it ran with us three as the only place where they had appeared [TS]

00:35:57   for a little bit for a while I believe you were MAC store [TS]

00:36:02   and the UN do you know who it was really close he bails waxy toria and then it [TS]

00:36:07   started then it then the group fairly quickly now it's going slowly but we [TS]

00:36:12   wanted the event was relatively easy to do is difficult earned about getting new [TS]

00:36:22   affiliates and now we're looking for exactly the right affiliate and when [TS]

00:36:26   that you know that the ads work well for the audience and that is designed [TS]

00:36:29   properly whatever but back then nobody was carrying it and when you put the ads [TS]

00:36:36   on your site or Jason Kottke David or weeded there was some concern that our [TS]

00:36:42   readers would see that is a betrayal which is kind of funny now doesn't it [TS]

00:36:46   like to be so worried about that yeah and that is definitely true where was [TS]

00:36:51   you know I've been doing during fireball for ten years we talked about it as a [TS]

00:36:56   little bit over 10 years now but as a decade and then that that first half the [TS]

00:37:00   2002 2003 2004 years nobody has your weblog nobody had any kind of ads and [TS]

00:37:11   then Google Adsense thing but that was just text and it was all pay per click [TS]

00:37:16   and and that was controversy I mean really was controversial people would [TS]

00:37:19   just add like a single Google was like I don't know if completed version [TS]

00:37:24   advertising at all and yeah we're more altruistic back in a young days I guess [TS]

00:37:30   but at the same time there were always been other websites the scene at the new [TS]

00:37:35   york times as the ones that were not personal but but somehow [TS]

00:37:40   you know I don't call institutionalized yeah news sites had the worst ads I mean [TS]

00:37:47   ads that are worse than the ones you see today I mean I think like about 10 level [TS]

00:37:51   10 89 years ago [TS]

00:37:53   advertising online was absolutely it at like the bottom right punch the monkey [TS]

00:37:59   member that they would have these add that there's plenty of bad you know [TS]

00:38:03   there now to go and maybe go see it / turned off I don't know I said maybe I [TS]

00:38:08   shouldn't say that we do you think it should I mean the idea of the deck was [TS]

00:38:12   just to go over the basics of the notice I'm sorry but the idea of the deck was [TS]

00:38:15   we thought there is probably a better way to do display advertising that would [TS]

00:38:20   provide benefits for all three people in the advertising equation and by the [TS]

00:38:25   three people in the equation I mean the publisher the advertiser and the reader [TS]

00:38:29   we feel we felt like we made the decade we can come up with the concept for [TS]

00:38:33   delivering advertiser that would be beneficial to all three of those people [TS]

00:38:37   that it would work because up until that point it was it wasn't it wasn't fair [TS]

00:38:43   with for the advertiser was for the publisher was for the reader whatever so [TS]

00:38:47   our content was if we put together a confederation of like-minded sites that [TS]

00:38:54   we just played a single ad from an advertiser that was truly relevant to [TS]

00:39:00   the readership that everybody could benefit and we've never said that if the [TS]

00:39:07   head is in the deck we endorse it [TS]

00:39:09   business but it's sort of an implied endorsement since we turn down as all [TS]

00:39:13   the time since we're fairly local five and low tack and reserving a mini the [TS]

00:39:18   debt is not any Brisbane programming thing and we're serving up these ads we [TS]

00:39:23   have very low overhead on the network and so we deliver a lot of impressions [TS]

00:39:28   for a relatively good cause so every a lot of people want to buy on the deck [TS]

00:39:33   but we don't want [TS]

00:39:34   the ad from people who want to add some people we have products and services [TS]

00:39:37   that appeal to our audience in a real way not just in a sort of you know I am [TS]

00:39:44   unconvinced that an algorithm can ever really choose relevance for advertising [TS]

00:39:50   to a marketplace country maybe someday [TS]

00:39:52   the other thing that's it's not really a direct concern to people who read sites [TS]

00:39:57   that are on the deck people who read during fireballer cocky they don't need [TS]

00:40:02   understand this and and it doesn't matter but the fact is the deck has [TS]

00:40:06   never paid by the page view ever the fact that was part of the concept of [TS]

00:40:11   this it better for everybody if we do it this way where you [TS]

00:40:15   advertisers just paid the deck asset be in a run for the month and you know it's [TS]

00:40:23   not that we don't give them traffic numbers tell them you know [TS]

00:40:27   collectively we do this we tend to do this many page views a month or whatever [TS]

00:40:31   but if we happen to do more we do a little last month it's not if it doesn't [TS]

00:40:35   act right and that's the to me the biggest thing to me that's even bigger [TS]

00:40:40   than the unobtrusive pneus of the actual physical format of the ad on page is [TS]

00:40:44   that it takes away any sort of impetus to pump up your page views [TS]

00:40:48   road is no reason and it so you don't see there's nobody I know about the deck [TS]

00:40:52   or takes long articles embrace them into six pages right which is truly just it's [TS]

00:40:57   just a scam I mean I don't even use that word lightly it's a scam to to get your [TS]

00:41:02   pages up and [TS]

00:41:04   that works against nobodies so the pain pay-per-view model that most of the rest [TS]

00:41:08   of online advertising uses is bad for everybody because it's bad for the [TS]

00:41:14   advertiser because they're getting these numbers that don't correlate to people [TS]

00:41:18   they correlate to people clicking on web pages so when you go through and and the [TS]

00:41:22   worst of it now this is the way to thats that sort of bottomed out the slideshow [TS]

00:41:27   right here's twenty twenty ways that Apple could screw up the iWatch yeah [TS]

00:41:34   you've got a click twenty times and it counts as twenty pages but that's no [TS]

00:41:37   good for the advertiser right because each one of those advertisers let's do [TS]

00:41:41   this for advertisers in the slide you they're all being charged the full price [TS]

00:41:45   of the page you when it goes without saying that if I'm clicking through to [TS]

00:41:49   20 pictures in nineteen twenty pages on one page what the more you know what's [TS]

00:41:52   more valuable impression you know if if I'm involved in an article I'm reading [TS]

00:41:58   it fireball I'm reading a post from peanuts with miss or a long thread on [TS]

00:42:02   Metafilter involved in the ad is there if if I pick click through and she 480 [TS]

00:42:10   get four more impressions but are those impressions equal to the same person no [TS]

00:42:14   course it's even worse for the reader I mean nobody ever in history world said [TS]

00:42:19   you know what I like to do as I like to click twenty times to see all 20 ideas [TS]

00:42:23   you have about Kate Upton pictures I can handle rate and it's it's no good for [TS]

00:42:29   the sites themselves because then they're busy themselves with trumped-up [TS]

00:42:34   SEO headlines there you know who feels good about taking a nice long article [TS]

00:42:39   that's really a good read and chopping it up in the bits where you know that [TS]

00:42:43   each one of those times where you make asking readers to click the thing you [TS]

00:42:46   know that half of them are going to just drop consumer gonna drop away it's [TS]

00:42:50   almost heartbreaking to know that you if you've written something that really is [TS]

00:42:53   good I get real nice 2000 word piece it's almost heartbreaking to think that [TS]

00:42:57   two-thirds of the readers only go to the first seven hundred words just close the [TS]

00:43:02   window so it doesn't work for anybody get it like entrenched and it's not just [TS]

00:43:07   that it's the idea of displaying 5 ads on a page and counting them all as you [TS]

00:43:15   don't count each of those are somehow for some reason you don't count each of [TS]

00:43:18   those is the fifth of an impression because of all the pressure so I know [TS]

00:43:22   maybe were over delivering but you know the dirty little secret of the doctors [TS]

00:43:26   for the right advertiser works very well most of our advertisers Renu advertisers [TS]

00:43:30   that have the service or a product that fits with sort of the mindset of the [TS]

00:43:34   affiliates under the deck do very well so we don't have to change all the [TS]

00:43:38   advertising on the web we just have to write the equivalent I N started to [TS]

00:43:43   equate the ads in any one medium to another like how is a TV commercial like [TS]

00:43:48   a magazine that it's hard to draw the comparison but to me the way that [TS]

00:43:53   there's five ad on a page you know the washington post or something like that [TS]

00:43:58   and they sell them all as separate page views to me it's like selling a [TS]

00:44:01   full-page ad in the newspaper and magazine but putting five ads on the [TS]

00:44:05   page right that's a good way to put it but you know what it is I often think I [TS]

00:44:11   often they buying a slot on the deck which buys you one slot and that by you [TS]

00:44:17   three percent of all the impressions across all the sites and services in the [TS]

00:44:24   network for a calendar month that works out to somewhere between two and three [TS]

00:44:28   million persons but buying that currently does not buying that is mozdok [TS]

00:44:33   into buying a full-page in New York in a magazine is more like a magazine it has [TS]

00:44:38   your buying a monthly thing [TS]

00:44:40   you your ad is by itself that is not it is adjacent to content but it is not [TS]

00:44:46   adjacent other air and it's very difficult to quantify the results that [TS]

00:44:53   you get for it but if you buy the new yorker your sales go up you probably do [TS]

00:44:58   the ad and you can track who sought in the new yorker will have the same thing [TS]

00:45:01   with the deck so I think the decade's worth anything at all maybe it's more [TS]

00:45:06   like a full-page magazine ad in a magazine that it is like a TV commercial [TS]

00:45:12   or like a traditional Bay Area I just wish the decade like just take over all [TS]

00:45:16   the pages and the affiliate a decade really big and blot on the continent [TS]

00:45:21   think readers and advertisers and appreciate their yeah like usual of [TS]

00:45:26   JavaScript to make the ad march over the page and you have to shoot it before and [TS]

00:45:32   I'll go back to this spot and then a dialogue with his do you really want to [TS]

00:45:37   leave the thing that I love those ladies join me this paper you don't know what [TS]

00:45:40   the Cliq is you feel like you're in the spammers embrace already lake and just [TS]

00:45:44   click no I don't want to leave your saying yes I appreciate your takeover ad [TS]

00:45:49   but if you say I want to leave you think maybe they're smart enough to make that [TS]

00:45:52   the defaulting send you to the Florida property page whatever the advertisers [TS]

00:45:58   something more nefarious Netflix still does pop under ads I don't see them I [TS]

00:46:05   don't know why maybe because I don't know what it's like a cat and mouse game [TS]

00:46:10   I think between the browsers and the right and people who were trying to [TS]

00:46:14   circumvent the anti pop up thing but every once and I still see him from [TS]

00:46:17   Netflix and every time I see what I've been unhappy Netflix customer for years [TS]

00:46:23   I still am but every time I see a popular from Netflix idea in my head [TS]

00:46:27   that maybe I should unsubscribe from Netflix just because they're using some [TS]

00:46:30   of the money did too popular which are the words right now working there were [TS]

00:46:36   tears networking figures counterproductive [TS]

00:46:38   I didn't know who I don't see no matter how do I have to admit that I used to do [TS]

00:46:46   pretty good at that [TS]

00:46:48   blocking right sure if you are like Squarespace and you have a product or [TS]

00:46:53   service that could benefit by being in front of millions of creative [TS]

00:46:58   intelligent curious and good-looking people you should go to the deck and [TS]

00:47:02   give us a holler let me ask about another subject tell me about what you [TS]

00:47:07   and I were both in New Zealand so tell me about that we were there we could go [TS]

00:47:10   as a recording today Friday February 22nd a week ago we were together in [TS]

00:47:15   serbia Chicago we were in Wellington New Zealand just about this time your [TS]

00:47:20   presentation that's probably about right now though [TS]

00:47:24   time different rights which is my blog right and there's this whole thing where [TS]

00:47:28   the international dateline you cross over there there there in tomorrow [TS]

00:47:32   already well it's like it now is that sort of like the end of 2001 daily [TS]

00:47:40   though that our friend or mutual great friend Michael lob had a birthday and he [TS]

00:47:46   he [TS]

00:47:47   California the nine airplane from San Francisco I was on the plane with them [TS]

00:47:52   we arrived in Wellington New Zealand on the 11 Michael's birthday can't so he [TS]

00:47:57   got gypped out of a burglar who are maybe the positive maybe the count right [TS]

00:48:02   now maybe he had to say it doesn't legally bound is being a girl [TS]

00:48:07   let's talk about the great conference where did you where did you think I [TS]

00:48:11   really was I went back I was there two years ago and it was such a long flight [TS]

00:48:17   as soon as I came back I thought that was great but never again and then I [TS]

00:48:21   think it's like the way that you know like child bearing where it hurts in in [TS]

00:48:26   women say when they were going to do it again but then you feel like engineered [TS]

00:48:29   to forget it's like the fights but if I remember it was such a great conference [TS]

00:48:36   two years ago so I jumped at the chance to go back and I thought the same thing [TS]

00:48:40   that it was man I would have loved to have been hearing and speaking just to [TS]

00:48:44   see these [TS]

00:48:45   do think it's the best cover diver I believe what I'm conferences and i'd [TS]

00:48:50   never do that could never been to maybe only rivaled by 2007 2008 by before it [TS]

00:48:57   turned into the monster that took over the world [TS]

00:49:00   the thing it's a single track with a small exception it's a single check on [TS]

00:49:05   to talk about 850 people there and everybody sees all the same talks in the [TS]

00:49:09   middle of the day there half the people who are more developers go one way and [TS]

00:49:12   having to learn more designers go the other way but by and large the [TS]

00:49:15   singletrack conference and I have never been to a conference we're more of the [TS]

00:49:20   speaker set and rooted for the other speakers for me that really sad [TS]

00:49:24   interesting and well program conference it was that I wanted to see all the [TS]

00:49:31   other speakers and not just cuz I knew some of them but because I didn't [TS]

00:49:34   already know now that was sort of interesting and it's in a cool place [TS]

00:49:39   well in terms of cool place it's a very cool place and it's nice it is a really [TS]

00:49:43   nice treat every speaker but I think we're all from the Northern Hemisphere [TS]

00:49:53   and they had [TS]

00:49:53   me i'm suppose it depends on where you count Craig modest from being from a [TS]

00:50:00   disease from san Francisco is one thing but even possible Tokyo yeah but it's [TS]

00:50:07   really nice to go from mid February northern hemisphere to February South [TS]

00:50:14   southern hemisphere I guess what is that that's the equivalent of August and and [TS]

00:50:21   it's not real hot it was seventy everyday was like 70 and sunny and which [TS]

00:50:27   apparently is not the case and will arrange quite a bit but we didn't see [TS]

00:50:33   any of that sort of thing where they tell everybody it's windy and rainy all [TS]

00:50:36   the time to keep people away they want to share these days maybe that I do [TS]

00:50:42   think the singletrack nature of web stock I mean there's certainly a [TS]

00:50:47   single-track conference but a lot of the other single track conferences that I go [TS]

00:50:51   to or been to cart significantly smaller do the new one single 10 which is gone [TS]

00:50:59   on two years in a row in October in Montreal is about a hundred think 22 [TS]

00:51:03   years been the hundred and eight hundred and twenty-five people are so and c4 [TS]

00:51:08   here in Chicago before that you know I was like a 2006 murder yeah those are [TS]

00:51:13   real those are more focused on Apple developers developers but now clearly [TS]

00:51:20   Mackinac Island School in there is some dirty this website but it was more of a [TS]

00:51:28   general developer designer broaden your mind a little bit like for example Craig [TS]

00:51:34   talked about what he called [TS]

00:51:37   publishing the subcompact publishing talking about Marco little bit in the [TS]

00:51:42   magazine but also sort of general trends it was more like that it was more like [TS]

00:51:47   big idea and then let's break it down as opposed to this is how you clothes [TS]

00:51:52   shopping cart israel's or whatever right and creating its Craig mobs talk is [TS]

00:51:58   probably a perfect example of that where I feel like they did the name of the [TS]

00:52:02   conference web stock implies its roots which was people making websites you [TS]

00:52:06   know I think this was the seventh year that they ran three and I think a [TS]

00:52:10   regionally was more specific about designing and building websites and now [TS]

00:52:15   they've gotten away from that it i mean that certain part of it but I think [TS]

00:52:18   Craig stalk exemplified why they're getting away from that because there's [TS]

00:52:21   not that much of a difference and if you're going to do it online publication [TS]

00:52:27   gonna need web stuff and AB stuff and I did a show of hands in my talks I was [TS]

00:52:32   curious cuz I remember two years ago I did the same thing we know what are the [TS]

00:52:35   people in the audience working on it was overwhelmingly websites web stuff and I [TS]

00:52:39   asked how many people are working on apps and I'd say easily over half the [TS]

00:52:44   hands well I mean those teams went up we're the ones we use it how many are [TS]

00:52:47   working on both right as they were going to websites and mobile apps and like the [TS]

00:52:52   whole everything up and it's you know I am I gonna get caught up in the emotion [TS]

00:52:59   of and I did that but I think the dad think it speaks to the strength of the [TS]

00:53:04   programming of the conference that Dave sort of adjusted instead of trying to [TS]

00:53:08   replay what web stock was in 2007 and it's it's really sort of got their [TS]

00:53:14   finger on the pulse of what are these people working on today even if it's not [TS]

00:53:20   with the working on its what what issues but larger issues in design and [TS]

00:53:26   development can we discuss that will benefit your work and the other thing [TS]

00:53:31   they do is they have the first two days of the conference are workshops [TS]

00:53:34   so you can go to a half-day workshop with Craig might for example about [TS]

00:53:38   subcompact publishing and I think they actually with their iPhones published a [TS]

00:53:43   book to Amazon in their happy so I mean there is practice I think the more [TS]

00:53:50   practical sort of things like Karen McGrane stalks and wound up in workshops [TS]

00:53:56   where people can really get their hands on this stuff and the more conceptual [TS]

00:54:01   stuff wound up in the main presentation say so but I would encourage anybody who [TS]

00:54:08   is interested in New Zealand to go to the next website yeah and it's it's one [TS]

00:54:17   of those things where I guess no matter how a few civ our praise is of the [TS]

00:54:22   conference anybody you know from North America even on the west coast we're [TS]

00:54:26   already closer is still going to roll their eyes and then why not go away to [TS]

00:54:31   New Zealand but if you've ever thought about going to New Zealanders or maybe [TS]

00:54:35   in some kind of combined two week trip where you go to Australia to or [TS]

00:54:39   something like that and workout schedule wise to do it with web stock in the [TS]

00:54:45   middle that would be worth it really is it best is the best conference I know if [TS]

00:54:50   that's going on and we'll see because it is beautiful Hall invitations are what's [TS]

00:54:56   called the Wellington Town Hall which was from nineteen old and its big [TS]

00:55:01   beautiful building the Beatles played there in the talking heads played there [TS]

00:55:04   and all this other stuff happen then adds quite imposing stage for speaker [TS]

00:55:08   but we had a big earthquake in Christchurch year-ago no two years you [TS]

00:55:15   years ago they have made much [TS]

00:55:18   stronger regulations about how buildings have to be supported so the Town Hall is [TS]

00:55:22   because for two years while they reinforce it so I don't know what's [TS]

00:55:27   going to happen it's hard to imagine that happening with all the beautiful [TS]

00:55:31   building but I suppose it could happen anywhere just got my story on that the [TS]

00:55:36   earthquake was that it happened so I certainly didn't support online 'cause [TS]

00:55:42   right but if it happened like two or three hours after our plane took off [TS]

00:55:47   from Auckland the 12 hour flight from Auckland SFO so we we we were in [TS]

00:55:52   Auckland and there was no earthquake we've got an airplane two or three hours [TS]

00:55:55   later when this truly horrifying earthquake again I don't think it's [TS]

00:56:01   hyperbole devastated Christchurch animals major major world news and so [TS]

00:56:08   like mine and Amy's family saw this thing major earthquake in New Zealand [TS]

00:56:12   and they didn't know what city and all they did was we said we're going to New [TS]

00:56:16   Zealand for Congress in 1800 block of Wellington they didn't know we were in [TS]

00:56:21   Christchurch I so they all tried calling us and of course couldn't get a call [TS]

00:56:25   because we were only two or three you know we had nine hours to go before we [TS]

00:56:28   land in SFO and they just like when we landed in SFO or phone to turn our [TS]

00:56:32   phones on it was like voicemail voicemail voicemail voicemail [TS]

00:56:36   alright are you all right or your right and I my first thought was it's the way [TS]

00:56:41   you always when you get bad news and he just instantly like blank and going to [TS]

00:56:44   denial of us and they're like I was a different order quick and easy cuz I had [TS]

00:56:49   just there was an earthquake you didn't occur to you that something like that [TS]

00:56:52   could happen when you fly over the pacific especially being the other thing [TS]

00:56:56   about that is remember when you fly from Auckland to tampering Cisco you pretty [TS]

00:57:00   much arrived at the same time you left because he had a plan to actually [TS]

00:57:04   there's no time you know right you leave there at three in the afternoon you get [TS]

00:57:07   to San Francisco to about three in the afternoon it's almost like it's a free [TS]

00:57:16   flops first even a week later he would have to put it right [TS]

00:57:21   who have had two oh yes you could have had your birthday and then head your [TS]

00:57:24   birthday right executive spent the whole time which is not anybody to have a [TS]

00:57:29   great birthday I did the second sponsor a new sponsor and this is really i'd i'd [TS]

00:57:36   say this not because those sponsors because I'm really impressed by what [TS]

00:57:39   they built it ever picks ev er ki IX ever picks is a smart photo platform [TS]

00:57:46   that helps you make sense of your growing photo collection they have no [TS]

00:57:49   storage limit so you have all your photos anywhere everywhere [TS]

00:57:54   organized automatically in the cloud really the bottom line long story short [TS]

00:57:59   is that they're aiming to replace something like iPhoto or Lightroom as [TS]

00:58:03   your canonical files 4444 photos and the problem that they're trying to solve is [TS]

00:58:13   that day thing and I believe that the modern photographer is simply casual [TS]

00:58:18   photographer is is overwhelmed by the number of photos that they take you know [TS]

00:58:23   the take hundreds of month thousands in here and you end up with a digital [TS]

00:58:28   cameras now for probably like 10 years we have libraries of 10 or more thousand [TS]

00:58:33   files and nobody organizes and let's not pretend that you're going to get back [TS]

00:58:39   from your vacation and that you have to take those 300 photos and put tags on [TS]

00:58:43   all of them and name them all so they have done all this algorithmically it's [TS]

00:58:47   really really smart stuff from a really smart team and they have a great iPhone [TS]

00:58:52   Apple iPad app for navigating these libraries on the Mac you can still use [TS]

00:58:57   something like iPhoto or Lightroom to suck the photos off your card and make [TS]

00:59:02   color corrections and delete the ones that are no good [TS]

00:59:04   eyes are closed but then it said of organizing them in their albums or [TS]

00:59:09   anything like that just go through and iPhoto you tell over texts I am a client [TS]

00:59:15   sort of like Dropbox it's just a simple little face with single runs in the [TS]

00:59:18   background you get to pick which known file locations you know whether you just [TS]

00:59:22   pick a folder or you pick your iPhoto library it upload them to your account [TS]

00:59:27   in the cloud and everything else happens after that that happens really really [TS]

00:59:32   impressive did by default it is groups everything by date in two events it's [TS]

00:59:36   really really smart about detecting interesting parts of the photos so it [TS]

00:59:40   puts them together in a collage on screen for you to pick from scroll [TS]

00:59:44   through it shows you just great little thumbnails and it's very fast very [TS]

00:59:50   beautiful you can try it for free the Ab Circle the software is free and you can [TS]

00:59:56   do with 34 AV 30 day free trial just see how it works you like it you pay I think [TS]

01:00:02   it's tickets $40 a month of forty dollars a year I'm sorry for $5 a month [TS]

01:00:07   very reasonable unlimited stormed right and I again I was doubtful at the [TS]

01:00:15   beginning and I wasn't quite sure what it was but it's not it's not a [TS]

01:00:18   replacement for flickr is not Instagram it's not photo sharing its your personal [TS]

01:00:23   library back in the cloud available on all of your devices all the time I'm [TS]

01:00:29   using it I really couldn't be happier with them really impress I did that [TS]

01:00:33   before we recorded the show I was showing jim was getting all maudlin and [TS]

01:00:37   showing baby pictures of Jonas you're all the pictures I haven't seen in [TS]

01:00:42   forever and it was just great so ever pics what you want to do [TS]

01:00:47   do is go to ever picks dot com ev er VIX dot com and check it out thanks to them [TS]

01:00:55   for sponsoring the show will take it up because I attend the other day that I [TS]

01:00:59   hope that there's actually there is reincarnation because then I will be [TS]

01:01:03   able to organize my digital photos I think it's a great promise I really do [TS]

01:01:10   the premises you're never been organizing just given to us and we'll [TS]

01:01:13   organize a long story short that's the just yet and it's it's I think they've [TS]

01:01:18   got people even delete do you still believe photos that they that sow [TS]

01:01:22   together like I think I was just like I do that shoot with my real camera I do [TS]

01:01:29   so many pictures but I do I used to do I get to pass things first pass is go [TS]

01:01:34   through like with website I took I don't know 300 pictures first passes just go [TS]

01:01:39   through and pick out anything that's just all you know how to focus toward [TS]

01:01:45   the lights way offers them somebody's eyes are closed and it was one right [TS]

01:01:50   took place let's save for pictures that the same thing [TS]

01:01:52   quick make it did snap decision which one is the good one and going and then [TS]

01:01:57   the old way than what I used to do [TS]

01:02:00   years ago and I still do every once in a while but I have to admit I just never [TS]

01:02:03   get around to it must have been so then I would go through and really start [TS]

01:02:08   thinking about which ones are good and giving up four star ranking to this one [TS]

01:02:11   and five star to this one and stuff like that [TS]

01:02:14   give him titles are putting me I don't get to do anything to lead I don't delay [TS]

01:02:22   don't organized and it's not that I don't want to it's just too much is [TS]

01:02:30   never seems like there's a great time when when you really want to take two [TS]

01:02:32   hours ago through intense you know when you fall behind I got you know you're [TS]

01:02:37   with the brothers will see Jason we met her I met you before he did [TS]

01:02:41   the website said that an eight hour layover in singapore is a good time to [TS]

01:02:46   organize for only over to be at the hanging out with Vijay Web Start made me [TS]

01:02:53   feel great about my new zealand to philadelphia by way of Auckland and I [TS]

01:03:02   went to LAX but there's no difference really been going through us have made [TS]

01:03:06   me feel a lot better he was going home to Sweden he was flying instead of [TS]

01:03:11   flying east use file West like New Zealand Australia to Singapore to god [TS]

01:03:18   knows how to YouTube it was like one of the Indiana Jones trip you know . the [TS]

01:03:23   plane and the map of the sepia tone map so where would you go back to website I [TS]

01:03:31   would they think I mean I would be invited again but you know what I would [TS]

01:03:36   like to do and we should get to talk to Mike Monteiro because he did it a little [TS]

01:03:40   bit as I would like to go for longer go to web stock and then take a car on the [TS]

01:03:44   South Island everybody said that like the place and that's where a lot of them [TS]

01:03:50   there are some locations around Wellington from the Lord of the Rings [TS]

01:03:53   but that's sort of like their cottage industry [TS]

01:03:56   tourists Jenny how is is go there and see the Lord of the Rings sites and [TS]

01:04:02   stuff like that and the studio is in the studio is in Wellington yeah I'll take a [TS]

01:04:11   guess I'll so long that it's whether yeah but it is really a baby but he'll [TS]

01:04:18   be surprised because they never have to guess at the pronunciation something [TS]

01:04:21   like this would be kept everything so maybe he was wrong there some locations [TS]

01:04:28   on the North Island with the one with Auckland and Wellington but the South [TS]

01:04:31   Island is the one where it's apparently a little bit more [TS]

01:04:34   a lot more see more there's a lot of population a lot more public ground is [TS]

01:04:39   so I think that would be you know I think I would like to talk again I would [TS]

01:04:45   also like to see more of ya so maybe we can work those two things together at [TS]

01:04:50   something so what did you think of web stark most gratifying for most [TS]

01:05:05   illuminating that's a good question or a bouncer really good drawing a blank on [TS]

01:05:14   his name the guy who wrote the novel mister numbers low levels low Robinson [TS]

01:05:19   there was a great talk gave a great talk on the way we put your by summarizing it [TS]

01:05:29   the wrong way but part of it was about the way that we don't really understand [TS]

01:05:32   any new medium until decades and in one of the ways he proved that was like [TS]

01:05:40   going back to the turn of the last century and how when the movie's first [TS]

01:05:44   became a thing people put like sarcastic quotes around the world movies that it [TS]

01:05:50   was you know right [TS]

01:05:51   movies with quotes around it and that that lasted for decades and even up [TS]
