48 In The Kitchen

The Carol and Steve Show: Episode 48 - In the Kitchen [ Run Time: 4:28 ]

This week we're back in the kitchen, where the Carol and Steve show began. Carol and I discuss the future of the show, why coffee is hotter than pasta and whether or not everything goes on the web.

Mentioned in this episode:
Ravi Jain.

An IM discussion with Chris Weagel about why coffee is hotter than pasta:

Steve Garfield (AIM)
Is a Dunkin Donuts hot coffee hotter than pasta heated up in a microwave oven?

Chris Weagel (AIM)
I don't drink coffee. has the pasta been cooked before then reheated in the microwave, or is it being cooked in there first ? (which may be impossible)

Steve Garfield (AIM)
ha
it is being reheated

Chris Weagel (AIM)
I don't know
depends on how long its in there

Steve Garfield (AIM)
3 minutes
stirred
then 1:30

Chris Weagel (AIM)
on high?

Steve Garfield (AIM)
yes

Chris Weagel (AIM)
mmmm
I'm guessing the coffee, cause it's more concentrated and in a container with a lid
Is there sauce on the pasta?

Steve Garfield (AIM)
there is a red sauce on the pasta, but it does not overwhelm the food
it is a fine balance

Chris Weagel (AIM)
I don't know
are you thinking of launching a lawsuit?

Steve Garfield (AIM)
no
in the carol and steve show
carol asks
why?
i was just doing some research for the blog post
Liquids.

The particles that form a liquid are relatively close together, but not as close together as the particles in the corresponding solid.
3:30
The particles in a liquid have more kinetic energy than the particles in the corresponding solid.

Chris Weagel (AIM)
I'm no scientist, but I'd venture to say that molten lava would be both hotter AND more dangerous than the two foods

Steve Garfield (AIM)
interestig point
i saw molten lava once
next time i bring marshmallows and a stick
and a video camera

Chris Weagel (AIM)
be careful

Steve Garfield (AIM)
well

Chris Weagel (AIM)
lava is deadly

Steve Garfield (AIM)
i'll be in a helicopter

Chris Weagel (AIM)
you many need a hotplate to heat the marshmellows
always plan ahead

Steve Garfield (AIM)
a solar hotplate

47 Our Amazing Race

The Carol and Steve Show: Episode 47 - Our Amazing Race

This week we take a break and show you a video we shot last year, before we started doing the weekly Carol and Steve Show episodes.

Please excuse the lag between the audio and video in the intro. It was recorded direct to disk via QuickTime Pro and my old Powerbook couldn't quite keep up. Just think of it as looking at an old time movie. Works for me!

It's JerryTime!

A friend of mine put this video together of his brother.

It's like a podcast set to video, Steve Jobs would call it a video podcast.

It's all real too. See how real is better then unreal. Instead of Reality TV, let's try reality.

JD Lasica of Ourmedia gives us a great example of citizens media. JD was at last weeks Portable Media Expo & Podcasting Conference in Ontario, Calif

There was no major media coverage of this, but it's something that I'm interested in. JD grabbed a few people after their presentations and interviewed them.

"Audio is the best medium in fact, because it's inexpensive, it's a great medium for communicating ideas, video is not so good for ideas, it's so picture oriented that ideas get buried," Leo Laporte.

I had hte pleasure of meeting MAry Hodder at Harvard this evening.

New England Auto Show 2005

I filed this report from the New England Auto Show for Rocketboom.

I think my favorite car was the Dodge Kahuna because it had real wood on the sides, but I think it was just a show car.
