Podcasts don't seem to push and the iTunes app still doesn't have a subscribe button. What the H? Podcasts automatically syncing was quite literally the only thing I was looking forward to with iOS 5... is it really not supported?

Yes, I know retrocrush or x-entertainment have those recaps and clips, but I am looking for a specific clip. It didn't last for more than 30 seconds:

Herbie the Love Bug is coasting at parade speed. It billows theatrical smoke and two dudes in racing gear are tumbling in and out of Herbie.

It's one of the first things I ever enjoyed watching. I learned how to work a VCR so I could watch it over and over. I know it is a long shot, asking for 20 seconds of television from two decades ago, but it has to exist somewhere.

If I had to guess: 1989. It aired Thanksgiving '89. I could be wrong.

Is it just a dude watching camera feeds and going, "Hey Doug. 95 is fucked. Put it on the signs."

"In a minute."

"Whatever."

...is it that?

I recall seeing the trailer and wanting to see the movie, but never got around to it. It went something like: a bunch of friends are in an enclosed space. I'm 99% sure it was a boat. One of them dies mysteriously or they collectively decide to kill someone, and everyone is suspicious of each other and there is a lot of yelling and sweating and walking slowly, holding a weapon of some sort.

I remember an axe, some foxy ladies, flashlights. Most of the shots were brown-toned and heavily shadowed.

For some reason, I remember it being Australian.

At a diner in the city, in between Destroyer and DJ Shadow tunes, was this nice song:

Synthy

Real drums (I think)

Whispy female vocals

~4 minutes

A two-note (two quarter-notes) vocal or synth line was repeated every 4 bars. I don't think it ever dropped out.

WHAT IS IT?

I want my next batch to be a 6 gallon wort split into two fermenters with a different yeast pitched in each. I figured one would be "normal" and one a Belgian strain.

What styles are best suited for this? I was thinking of doing a porter. Who has done this before? How did they compare? Are there any specific strains you would recommend? Is there anything I should avoid? Thanks!

I have about 500 aiff files of varying length (1 second to 10 minutes) of a single person talking. I recorded and EQd and compressed to as close to -12db as possible, but there are still noticeable differences in levels between the files. (Different recording days and editing sessions, etc.)

It sounds lazy, but is there a script or application that will find the quiet and loud files and automatically pot them up or down? Or, is there something that will produce a list of average levels or peak levels?

If not, I can just listen to each and adjust as necessary in one sitting.

I'm on OS X.

Okidoki, thanks!!

Here it is, in full:

For absolutely no reason I can remember, I didn't push for people to see it, despite the positive feedback I received.

It's overlong. It should have been in smaller pieces as a web-based serial, but when I finished it, youtube didn't exist, and that idea never occurred to me.

So there's the link. It's funny--it's really dry--but it's funny. Maybe you'll like it, so there you go. If you watch even a little bit: thanks!

BluRay movies and games start normally, and then after about 5-15 minutes, fail to read anything else. "A Single Man" never gets past the menu. "Just Cause 2" stops loading new data in the middle of missions, and results in actionless roaming until I quit the game.

Upon quitting, the PS3 beeps three quick beeps and restarts.

I vacuumed as much dust away as I could, but I'm afraid to insert one of those lens cleaner discs with the felt thing on it, or blow compressed air in there.

What's the deal?

I'm looking for the name of the toys I had around 1990. They were about 6-inch tall dudes made of foam that could be squished down to about a half inch and they slowly reformed.

They were all fairly monster-ish: a doctor with eyeball teeth, a scarred rock star, a deformed weightlifter...

There were commercials for them so I'm sure they were somewhat popular.

FOUND THEM (My mother remembered, inexplicably): MASH 'EMS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5CEF-m6-9g
