My Halloween Show...Sort Of
I didn't really do anything very special for this Halloween show, but I did do a very extended movie recommendation segment. See below.

Cleaning Out The Old House
We, but my wife mainly, have been dealing with my father-in-law's house. We have it sold and we have to get everything up. We filled one dumpster already and have another one on the way. We filled our minivan with lots of old electronics to be recycled.
I told the tale of getting all those electronic odds and ends recycled. I'm very thankful to one Best Buy employee who did me a solid.

The Fall Classic
The World Series have come to an end and the San Fransisco Giants are once again world champs. I talked about that game seven pitching performance of Madison Bumgarner and how it was even more impressive when compared to the amount of postseason games played. In the old days, pitchers didn't have as many playoff rounds to get through. For decades it was win the pennant and then play the World Series. It hasn't been that way for a while now.

Hurray For Rikk Wilde
A very human moment took place during the the award presentation after the World Series. A fellow named Rikk Wilde wasn't the most prepared person when he stepped up to present Bumgarner with the keys for a brand new Chevy Colorado truck, but he was the most memorable and sympathetic.

Catcalling In NYC
I touched on the viral video of a young woman walking the streets of NYC that depicts how men in New York like to catcall and harass women as they walk by. I talked about the power of editing and that it is probably possible to make another two minute long video out of the 10 hours of filming that would show her being left alone. The video has sparked a discussion and I find it interesting.

More videos have been made and more opinions have come out. There's a parody video showing a man's walk through NYC and a serious video showing another man's walk. I may have to revisit this topic.
There's also this article on research methodology.
John's Pick-Up Technique
Years ago, in my bachelor days, my friend John and I would hang out a various clubs around the Twin Cities. The catcalling video and the fact that John and I are not catcallers brought to mind the time John asked a young woman if he could buy her a drink.
This was totally shocking to me at the time. This was something John just doesn't do, but he did it that time. But, he did it in his own wry way.
The Sad Story Of Boyd Bushman
Well, I hope Bushman's life story isn't sad, but his public statement and evidence presentation just prior to his death was pretty damn sad. Bushman called himself a scientist, which he meant have been, I don't know if engineers are considered scientists, but he for a scientist he sure didn't know what makes for good evidence.
A video promoted by Art Bell shows Bushman displaying and talking about his photographic evidence. The quality of that evidence is laughable. Or would be if the whole thing weren't so sad and pathetic.
There's more here and here.
