Show Notes: Reflections on (October)

I just added a Show Notes section to Kinneas.com.

This will be the first in a series of Show Notes posts for broadcasts done on STO-Radio.com/Startrekradio.com/TrekRadio.com.
---
As I am not current, I will start with, 'Relections on October.'

General Mood of the Month:
What a creative, frustrating, angry, humble, thankful, jacked up, confused month October was.  We covered every possible emotion.

The Thirteen Days of Halloween
Growth is painful, yet we all came together to do our first Audio Production called, The Thirteen days of Halloween.   Despite it being rushed, everyone was 'Johnny on the spot' and delivered some amazing lines.  If there were Internet Awards for bet Audio Performance, I would nominate many of the DJ's.

We were fortunate to find the perfect voice for the 'Killer' in an old time listener, Morpheus (Jonathan Talon).

I was the Sound Editor (as well as Script Writer) on eight of the 13 Days and had a blast doing 'Foley'.  Some of the DJ's sent in multiple takes and it was a shame that so much stuff had to end up on the cutting room floor (as they say). Sometimes they would leave bloopers in and those turned out to be stronger and more funny and ended up in the final.

There was a contest in conjunction with this production and the listener who was able to send in the final 'Body Count' number would win: A signed copy of, Night of the Living Trekkies, a custom, I was killed on STO-RADIO tee-shirt, a 30 day key for Star Trek:Online (The MMO), 500,000 Energy Credits for Star Trek:Online.

The Thirteen Days of Halloween can be found in the On-Demand Section at www.startrekradio.com
The Thirteen days of Halloween tee-shirt, as well as STO-Radio.com & Startrekradio merchandise is available at: www.zazzle.com/startrekradio
----------
The 420 Show(s)
What can I say about the 420 shows?  We smoked a lot of different kinds of Felicium (See: Star Trek Encyclopedia) this month.  Bubble-Jack, Armagedden, Durbin, Royal Hawaiian, Kush... so many I can not remember them all. All of this was done outside of UFP space...so relax. 

Many people would like to believe it's utopia in the 24th century. Sorry. Human Nature remains a constant and many people are not going to live by the rules you want them to live by.   "Long Live MUDD!", "Long Live the Orion Syndicate!"  (Especially the Great Green Orion Felicium Distribution Network).

----------
The Great Brainstorm Show(s) for October.

"Best Brainstorm Ever!" - Rebel Weasel! (The 100 Year Mission Show)

The One Hundred Year Mission brainstorm discussed NASA/DARPA's plans to launch a one-way ship to Mars to start colonizing.  

The brainstorm covered: Would you go? What technologies will be needed? How soon till travel speed increase, sex in space, children in space, disenfranchised planets, going to war with ourselves...etc. etc.

We're on Star Trek.com !

October 8th, 2010.

HAILING FREQUENCY podcast now providing audio blogs for the official STAR TREK. COM website.  http://www.startrek.com/article/guest-blog-hailing-frequency-podcast

copied from startrek.com:

Founded in 2005, Hailing Frequency was the first podcast dedicated to Star Trek gaming. They have produced over 120 podcasts and are now the leading source for all Star Trek gaming news. They regularly interview producers from such companies as Cryptic Studios and GameForge.


This podcast marks the first time they have created material specifically for StarTrek.com. The hosts, Zach Nicodemous and Tony Tuthill, take you on a journey through the Star Trek gaming timeline and give you the inside scoop on what games to play. Look for more podcasts from them on StarTrek.com as well as the Hailing Frequency website.

----------------------------------------------------
Y'a know.  We have been featured on many sites and there have been a lot of great moments in the last few years but none that actually fills me with a bit o' pride like being featured on the official Star Trek web site! 

Other than hanging out on the various gaming forums over the years, startrek.com was the site where it began for us as gaming podcasters and where many of us met in the early days to decide on doing a community gaming  podcast.

It is truly where many of us met as we came together to wait and brainstorm on Star Trek: Online (the MMORPG).
----------
I was worried a few years back as there was a major overhaul of management and for a long time the site just sat kind of stagnant.  Gaming news was not updated regularly and when Cryptic Studios took over making Star Trek Online, the site showed Perpetual Entertainment as the makers almost right up until launch.
 
It was truly awesome to finally see our old friend get a make-over and much needed TLC.   The new site is beautiful, full of great stuff including great articles, episodes and extras, gaming news, merchandising etc.   Kudos to CBS for finally getting behind Star Trek (so it seems).
--
A big thank you to my podcast partner of over five years, Zach Nicodemous.  He made this happen.
He has been working tirelessly to keep Hailing Frequency in the lead as the #1 Star Trek gaming podcast as well as seeing our dream of launching a Star Trek Radio station (http://www.startrekradio.com/  & http://www.sto-radio.com/)
 
In the last month he has secured interviews with: Tim Russ (Tuvok), Chase Masterson (Leeta), Warp 11( Star Trek band), Rod Roddenberry, Wil Wheaton, etc.   ( Tim Russ, Chase masterson & Warp 11 have already appeared on sto-radio.com)
 
Thank you for a great day, Startrek.com.
Thank you for another great day, Zach.
 
 
 

Permanent,Star Trek Radio, Chase Masterson, NASA, Rick Sternbach, more celebs.

Quick recap of the past few months:

- New Video: Permanent: The Oldest Story in the World.  Music by Arthur Yoria.
- Started broadcasting on Star Trek Radio (also known as STO-Radio).
- Interviewed Chase Masterson (Leeta. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
- Participated in the NASA/IBEX briefing on the conditions at the edge of the Solar System.
- Set up an interview in October with Dr. Rock Sternbach (Sr. Illustrator, Star Trek:The Next Generation).

On Permanent:  I really wanted to do a 2012 story that incorporates information from Zecharia Sitchin book, 'The Lost Book of Enki', learn flash animation & use the music of Arthur Yoria...   ...as well as create a video submission for the Guggenheim 'YouPlay' event (in conjunction w/ YouTube).  All went well, with the exception that the Guggenheim do not choose my entry.  No biggie. What mattered most to me was that I start getting a grip on Flash as well as basic animation techniques.  I learned a lot and feel like I really overcame some serious hurdles.

On Star Trek Radio (STO-Radio): My podcasting partner since 2005, Zach Nicodemous at Hailing Frequency informed me he had the means to start the radio station we had always wanted.  Though it would no be the 'Fleet Radio' station I wanted, it would be under the web sites, startrekradio.com as well as STO-Radio.com.  After things went very very bad at subspace-radio.net (please boycott them, by the way) I was not sure if I wanted to broadcast at all anymore, but he talked me into it.  I'm glad I did.  It is a great station and we have some amazing DJ's and almost full 24/7 live coverage as well as the best fan made audio dramas. 

On Chase Masterson:  What an amazing and beautiful woman. I'm really honored I was able to be a co-host on that interview. It was awesome finding out all the great projects she has been involved in since Trek. Her awards for Producing and the charities she helps out with.

On participating in the NASA/IBEX teleconference: I had nothing to loose by requesting Press access to the teleconference.  I was surprised that I actually got it.  So this afternoon, I tuned in and dialed-up and presented my question.  It was neat getting to say: "This is Anthony Tuthill for Star Trek Radio...".  I have been following the IBEX mission since launch and have a deep interest in the magnetic fields of our solar system as well as the possibility of being able to leverage them for space propulsion someday.

On Doc Sternbach.   I have interviewd the Doc a few times in the past and really felt the need to reconnect with him and find out what's new.  I'm in the process of scheduling a date to have him on-air in mid October.

On other celebs:  It looks like I may have an opportunity to interview Wil Wheaton ,  Rod Roddenberry, Warp 11, George Takei and possibly even William Shatner. Some may be very soon...   ...others may not be until next year.

U.S.S. Enterprise: Haynes Manual - The Official Star Trek Store

U.S.S. Enterprise: Haynes Manual - The Official Star Trek Store


: Le swooon::

SAVE the PRINCESS!

An all too familiar quest, I know.  Yet I implore you, my knights and my countrymen to rise once more to that most ancient and noble of quests. Save the Princess from the evil king(s).

Today's princess is, The Venetian Princess.  "The female Weird Al", "YouTube's #1 Most Subscribed Female"...and this is the plea from her tower:

Copied from Facebook:

Venetian Princess: Three of my videos have been claimed as copyright infringement by Sony Publishing. "Accident Prone" was completely removed from YouTube, while "Just A Zombie" and "Outerspace" are now monetized by Sony. Meaning they are making money off of my hard work.

As you guys know, the US Law protects parodies under fair use. But most of my videos are not even the same music, Steve and I re-write generic songs. Especially "Outerspace"- that's a whole original song on it's own. A completely different musical composition from Poker Face. So I here I sit, pondering what to do with my YouTube videos, and what my future on YouTube will now look like. As most of you have noticed, I've taken a bit of a break to step away from YouTube within the last few months. I've been focusing on family and "real life." AND planning new content with new ideas for videos I anticipated premiering in September. Now I don't know what I can do. It seems that my rights have been taken away from me.

YouTube is my life, it is how I make a living. Now a big time corporation is actually taking money away from me- that could have gone to my mortgage. Like they really need it. The songs are original and they simply have no right to monetize my work. That being said, I don't know where the future lies for me in terms of youtube. But I do know that above all of this, you guys brought me to the success level I was able to get to. So even if I never make a video ever again, I want you guys to know I appreciate all of the wonderful support you all have given me. I could not have asked for anything more. YOU guys mean the world to me. Whether it's on YouTube or some other platform, I hope to share my passion of making videos with you again in some form or another.

Bye bye for now
♥ Jodie

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am very interested what the U.S. Copyright Office & Google are going to do about this.

What does this mean for Google & YouTube?

What does this mean for you and I, my knights and my countrymen?! Let us find out! Let us take up the quest to use whatever news powers we have to raise this to the eyes of the network, to all YouTube users & to the world.

WHAT A MONTH! I AM EPIC FAIL!

Sorry I have been off the radar!  Not a moment could be spared this month for anything but the two projects I wanted to get done. Participating in YouTube/Ridley Scott/Scott McDonalds: Life in a Day project and entering a submission in the YouTube/Guggenheim Biennial event.

For the Guggenheim Biennial event (this story ends tragically by the way) I spent twenty six days working on 'Permanent'. An attempt at 'basic' animation in flash video and an attempt to capture the core ideas behind the 'The Lost Book of Enki' ( a pre-diluvial tale) by scholar/Sumerian tablet translator/author, Zecharia Sitchin.

     I kept, Disney's "The Illusion of Life' beside me ever moment and though I had read it dozens of times over the years none of it was actually meaningful until I started to try and animate. At that point every word in the book was important and I hung on every word as well as watching the live motion version on YouTube.

   I have nothing but respect for animators and was barely able to scratch the surface of techniques like: Squash, stretch, overlapping action, timing, weight, mass, staging, layouts, story development, character design, coloring, effects and above all...Sequential Art.

    So I spent every waking moment I could working on 'Permanent' and on July 31'st, I missed the submission deadline!

    I 'assumed' I would have until midnight on July 31st and it seems the deadline was 'noon' on July 31st.   I have submitted the video anyway and written Guggenheim for mercy and to at least watch it at this point.
   So yeah.  Tragic ending on a fantastic month of learning animation and trying to find my inner Walt Disney.

I need to make a new tee-shirt.   "I AM  EPIC FAIL!"

Life in a Day.  In an attempt to see what this computer could do I participated in 'LIFE IN A DAY" a historic YouTube/Ridley Scott/Scott McDonald project.  I had never done anything like it, nor had I ever worked with video clips to make a project before.   I almost killed my computer trying to encode the final video in HD at 1080p.  I can't say it is anything spactacular at all...but I did it.

So, dear friends.   Quite the busy month for me.

I hope you enjoy PERMANENT and I hope I do not cause you any permanent pain.  If you find yourself disturbed after watching it please consult your clergy, nearest biblical scholar or the Vatican.   I am not trying to be offensive or in the wrong on this take of bibilcal/mythology/history.

--BEST!

Hot new graffiti artist: C A I T

Anyone trying to look at my portfolio in the last 24 hrs saw that it was taken over for the 4th of July by my daughter, Cait.

Cait is not in high school yet & has been drawing non-stop, almost every single day for over six years.

She stuck to drawing Marvel-esque & Anime for the last few years but has recently moved on to Graffiti design.

As a father I am biased.  As an artist, I have to say: I was not doing advanced design until mid-high school years. She demonstrates remarkable design skills and an understanding of advanced composition.  She demonstrates an understanding of how to 'lead the eye'. Her color work is fantastic and I look forward to seeing her use other mediums.

Other observations: Like I & like many kids who start out drawing with outlines & stick figures, Cait started off drawing solid shaped objects.

My daughter, Cait. 100% artist.

Next Gen Energy Arrives!? CNN to report on man building Bussard Polywell

In 2007, I saw a video with the late Dr. Robert Bussard. In it he discusses the billions of dollars & half a lifetime spent chasing the 'Tokamak' reactor to total failure.  In the end, with little support & funding, he made the breakthrough.  The 'POLYWELL'.  (very long, very deep...life changing :) ) (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell  )

I knew of Dr. Bussard because of Star Trek & the technology described in the Star Trek Technical Manuals for the star ship Enterprise.  The devices on the front end of the nacelles of the Enterprise are Bussard Ramscoops & the 'flashing bulbs' on the front are the reactors harnesing what is pulled in by the Ramscoops. I believe we can now say that what are in those bulbs are Bussard Polywells (not Tokamak technology).

Shortly thereafter I discovered the web site of a person building one. http://prometheusfusionperfection.com/     The above web-site just Tweeted that CNN will be in the lab with them this evening.  I am very much looking forward to that report.

A few months back I 'heard' the device (or the sound of the Geiger Counter, reading the device) on a radio-station in the inventor's area.
-------
Odd related event:  2008. Las Vegas Hilton. Star Trek Convention floor:  I get a cell phone call from a 'Mr. Kirk'. who asks, "You know about Polywell?".   "Yes, sir.  I do." Says, I.  "We need to talk about this some more at a later time." "Alright, sir."  : click ::call ends ::    I have never heard back from, Mr. Kirk.   :)

Starting a Business

I'm sure peoples from around the world since ancient Sumer have clutched their heads or clenched their hands in angst over having to learn 'just the basics' of starting & managing a small, sole proprietor business.

From one side of the world to the other, brother.  It ain't no fun.

     Yet. Despite the want to run screaming hysterically through the local village I am thankful that I live in the Internet Age.  Without all the knowledge put on-line by the Copyright & Patent Office, the IRS, my state government & folks like you, it gets a bit easier each day.

     No only that. I've finally discovered fantastic web-sites that can let you manage your business, invoices, taxes etc. in one location.

     I know a lot of you are probably laughing as you have been all over 'business' since you were in your teens. :shrug: Sorry it took so long. 

     Better late than never, though?

Venetian Princess: Accident Prone

     So that is what I was working on for The Venetian Princess.    Two Limited Edition Tee-Shirt designs for the "Accident Prone" video featuring her new character, 'Lady Boo Boo'.  Many folks (myself included) can totally related to being accident prone.  I trip over my own shoes some days.  The video features quite a few clips of folks being accident prone.  It's hard not to laugh. What I found most impressive was the make-up work.  The old woman, 'Myrtle' (from the 'Outer Space' video) makes another appearance. The fashion design and make-up on the 'Lady Boo-Boo' character (s) is great.  She makes the bike helmet with 'CAUTION' written on it look sexy.
    
On the Tee-shirt design: Based on some photos sent to me, I  created a small stack of art ideas in the first day & she picked the two she enjoyed. She was a real pleasure to work with & I appreciated her input and art direction.

Overall I can not thank her enough for her support in general. It is a real honor to be her, 'Baron of Tee-Shirt Design'.

Speaking of support!  Boy, I sure could use some!  Please pick up a tee-shirt (or a few hundred). If you do not like the offerings, please contact me for custom tees/merchandise.  If Zazzle.com does not have the merchandise you want, I will find a site/MFG that does!  Above all I am affordable and will work with you no matter how small your job is!

Please consider me...an artist for The Venetian Princess to be one of your lifetime artists!
--------------
Send me a message through the 'contact' area of my web-site. I have PAY-PAL account & can get started immediately! Art Special #1 now available: $50.00 logo, custom tee/merchandise,graphics.

Working with Venetian Princess again!

I was on vacation all last week. When I returned, I was greeted back by the most fantastic e-mail from the Venetian Princess, Jodie Rivera (See:IMDB page).

I've worked with 'YouTube's #1 Most Subscribed Female' once before, creating the characters seen in her Britney Spears parody video, 'Speidi Free', which pokes fun at Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag. (Just today I heard Heidi & Spencer are getting a divorce. :gasp:). 

 I gasp now. Yet before doing that project, I honestly did not know who they were. Now I do, and oddly, I wish em' the best :raises coffee mug:!

The princess contacted me for some Tee-Shirt art related to her next parody video due out June 12th & wants to make me her 'official Tee-Shirt' designer.

WOOOOHOOOO!!!    :ahem: 

What a great honor (In my opinion).  She is an amazingly multi-talented artist. Beyond her parody videos, I feel she is a future great director & I admire how she studies great directors & applies that to her work.

There should be an official announcement on her website when/after the video launches.

"I'm with Stupid" tee-shirts out..."I'm with Epic Fail" tee-shirts in.

Kids today don't say, "I'm with Stupid" anymore.  Today it's all, 'Epic Fail'.



So without further ado...let me introduce the "I'm With, Epic Fail" tee-shirt.

Get yours today!

Sitchin, The Great Flood. Google Earth.

In another post I reported Noah's Ark was discovered. There is now video footage and drawings available:
video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjpeQU7GIZc ,
National Geographic article on the subject: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/04/100428-noahs-ark-found-in-turkey-science-religion-culture/

Anyway. Folks think it is a fake and some say the 'Great Flood' never happened.

Based on Zecharia Sitchin's (Sumerian/Chaldean/Babylonian) tablet translation information, it was reported the Great Flood happened because the antarctic ice sheet 'slid' into the ocean.

So I went on Google Earth to look at the ocean floor maps for signs of glacial scaring and by what I saw, it sure seemed there was plenty of evidence to support the tablet translations. I drew arrows on the images to point the direction I assumed the markings were moving (See my other post for images:  http://tonytuthill.blogspot.com/2010/05/google-earth-great-flood.html).

In the last two days I went back to: 'The Lost Book of Enki' and started re-reading it.

What I had missed upon first reading was that the great flood waves came in from a southern direction.

In my opinion, the ocean floor map data from Google Earth shows evidence of glacial scaring that moves towards the Persian Gulf and the ancient cities.  To these people the waves would have come from the south.

What is upeth?

Q: "Where are you?"
A: I have been working on, http://www.tonytuthill.com/ (Kinneas.com re-directs to the same location).  I need to get my art career back in order after spending the last five years dedicated to the Star Trek gaming community, Subspace-Radio, The Hailing Frequency Podcast, the ST:Oned cartoon series, STO-Zone Live, The Argus Array and since launch, Star Trek: Online. It has been the best time ever and I do not regret any of it.  Thank each and every one of you for your support over the years!
Q: "Did you quit, Subspace-Radio?"
A: Yes.
Q: "Are you going back to the Hailing Frequency podcast?"
A:  No.
 Comment: "Kudos on the new web-site. It does what it is supposed to do!"
A: THANK YOU! Wish me luck bringing in a whole slew of new clients like, 'The Venetian Princess'! If you need 'art' you can contact me directly or hire me through Elance.com

Google Earth & The Great Flood

It is being reported that Noah's Ark has been found and there is now video from within the structure.

This brings up the whole 'Great Flood' topic and 'Did it happen?'

According to Sumerian text (from the work of Zecharia Sitchin) the Antarctic ice sheet 'slid' off and the result caused the Great Flood.

So, I looked on 'Google Earth' for evidence of such 'sliding' and scoring marks that would be left behind after such an event.

Interesting.
