 <title>Radio Active #73: The Cold Touch of Autumn</title>
 <link>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/nuketownradioactive/~3/422016751/73</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="inline inline-left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nuketown.com/files/images/radioactive.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title=""  class="image image-thumbnail" width="125" height="125" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The kids are getting over colds and we've got another round of home improvement under our belts as  Nuketown Radio Active returns for more adventures in geek parenting. In this episode I've got a run down the video games I'll playing over the next few weeks, I take a look at  Green Ronin's new &lt;i&gt;Wizards and Warlocks&lt;/i&gt; role-playing game and find kindergartners playing chess with spaceborne astronauts. Rounding out the show is a review of  Apple's iPod touch, the one geeky gadget that could conceiveably replace my trusty black iPod...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Getting the Show&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are several ways to get the podcast:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="/files/NuRA-2008-10-13.mp3"&gt;Download the MP3 directly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="/podcast/index.xml"&gt;Subscribe to the podcast rss feed using an aggregator&lt;/a&gt; (you only need to do this once; subsequent shows should download automatically)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=73331436"&gt;Subscribe via iTunes&lt;/a&gt; (you need iTunes installed on your computer for this to work)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Show Notes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nuketown News	&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sick Kids.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Three weeks of sick kids, sick moms and sick dads. And is anything more miserable than a sick 2 year old?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Home improvement strikes again. This time ... winterizing!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hit Sonic for the first time! (
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Lehigh Valley got its first one in Nazareth, near Route 33 and 248.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Newsletter Poll is done.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;So far 8 votes in favor (9, if you count twitter)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Have a solution in mind that works with Drupal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Currently playing: LEGO: Batman
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you like LEGO games, or just want a superhero themed game you can play with the kids, this works (esp. on superhero side).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.scifi.com/sfw/games/sfw19613.html"&gt;Read my review of LEGO: Batman on SCIFI.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The blog of Star Wars RPG freelancer Sterling Hershey, who's worked on KOTOR and a bunch of the upcoming source books. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keeps fans up to date on the mini and RPG games.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Has news about his new stuff, like the &lt;a href="http://blogs.starwars.com/silverforce/152"&gt;free adventure &amp;quot;Iridonian Darkness&amp;quot; for KOTOR&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Review: iPod Touch&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Been using a 1st gen iPod touch for a few weeks now in testing for work.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Using it to check mail, view calendars (which I'm now happily syncing with my Mac via Google Calendar, &lt;a href="/blog/geekdad/google-calendar-integration"&gt;details about that can be found on Nuketown&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Video looks great on in; perfect for watching video podcasts, movies, TV, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compatible at least some of the peripheries of other iPod device (it works with our kitchen music station).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Web browser is nice. Nothing you'd want to spend hours working on, but useful for quick hits.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Great if, like me, you continuously live in a wi-fi field, but have crappy cellphone coverage (or just don't want a dataplan for your cell) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apps:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stanza: Book reader for iPod Touch
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lexcycle.com/iphone"&gt;http://www.lexcycle.com/iphone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AIM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pandora
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pandora.com/"&gt;http://www.pandora.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://iconfactory.com/twitterrific/"&gt;http://iconfactory.com/twitterrific/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TouchTerm
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; offers SSH access (including support for private/public key authentication0 to servers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jbrink.net/touchterm/"&gt;http://www.jbrink.net/touchterm/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Haven't driven with it, but I expect the interface would be more difficult to use than the standard iPod (which is what I hear from friends with the iPhone as well)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lack of storage is a challenge (16 GB is probably adequate for a mix of podcasts, videos and music, but 32 is the sweet spot in my opinion ... and more expensive for it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And oh yeah, it plays music too.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Final Analysis:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;      I like 4E, but I don’t love it. I think it’s a bad fit for traditional campaign settings, including Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms and works best with players who are tired of 3E, are looking for something with more focused character options, and are willing to reboot their campaign.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The game system is less flexible than it’s predecessor, and unlike 3E players will find themselves forcing their campaigns to fit 4E’s play style, rather than the other way around.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If I were starting up a new D&amp;amp;D campaign with a new group of players, I might go with an Eberron 4E campaign (especially once the updated setting is released next year) but for now 4E’s off my active gaming radar.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And yeah, I'm tired of arguing about 4E.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Summer's over and Nuketown Radio Active's back in the saddle as I talk about a different kind of game day, dodge a bullet with a crashed hard drive, get ready for a Western-themed NukemCon 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My promised review of  &lt;i&gt;Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragons 4th Edition&lt;/i&gt; has been bumped to Radio Active #72, and instead I talk a little about the challenges of reviewing the game, and what my gaming group's decided to do with the new edition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Long Summer&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It's been one long, crazy summer. Way, way too much work to do, which led to way, way too few podcasts. But the semesters under way, and I'm getting back to my regular routine.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Close Encounters of a Crashy Kind&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I've gone back to the gym (and pool) and am slowly working my way back down to my target weight of 190 lbs. Right now I'm down about 6 lbs., at 208&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My gaming group's gearing up for its home-grown gaming convention, Nuke(m)Con. We're going with a western theme this year, focusing on games like Aces &amp;amp; Eights, Deadlands Reloaded, Serenity and Dogs in the Vineyard; all games we bought over the last year or so, but never had a chance to play. And, of course, there will be D&amp;amp;D.&lt;/li&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nuketown.com/images/radioactive_sm.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" width="100" height="100" alt=" Nuketown Radio Active"&gt;It's summer and that means it's time to kick back and relax ... if only I can remember how. In this episode of Radio Active I run down my summer plans, including a week in New England, trips to  Mets and IronPigs baseball games and adventures in home improvement. I also rundown my summer reading list for 2008, including John Scalzi's &lt;em&gt;The Last Colony&lt;/em&gt;, Neil Stephenson's &lt;em&gt;Quicksilver&lt;/em&gt;, Ursula Le Guin's &lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Lathe of Heaven&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, and Robert E.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Although this is going to be one crazy summer at work, I don't want it to be as frenzied as the spring was. Of course, the challenge is figuring out exactly how to do that.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Camping on an island:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is it possible to geek out on an island on Lake Champlaign? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can I survive a week without electricity, running water, and indoor plumbing? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can I use a nail gun?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Minature Painting: Finally going to get some minis for my newer characters, including Thom Silverbow and Kull.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;I spent the weekend -- Saturday &amp;amp; Sunday -- at Balticon, and it was  fantastic. As with GenCon, it was amazing to finally meet  people whom I've been talking with online for years. Doug Rapsom, Mur Lafferty, Jason Adams, J.C. Hutchins, MA in PA, the Breakalls -- in short, everyone I've been listening to, chatting with on Twitter for the last few years. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;As for the SF angles ... well, it covers every aspect of the genre; anime, books, movies (hell, movies are shown throughout the weekend, as are anime). &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mucking About With the Feed&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Balticon has  turbocharged my creative brain. Thinking about podcasting some short fiction of mine this summer. Also thinking of starting up a second game review podcast to test out some new technology I'm playing with (video, enhanced podcast). The question is ... would you want such supplemental material to show up in the main Radio Active feed? Want the option of a individual feeds for side projects as well as a global, non-Radio Active, all-inclusive podcast feed? Inquiring podcasters want to know.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting Back into Hoax Debunking&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My first hoax debunking in a while: &lt;a href="http://www.nuketown.com/hoaxes/backseatkiller"&gt;&amp;quot;Attack of the Back(seat)-Stabbing Driver!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Mur Lafferty and Jason Adams began &amp;quot;The Takeover&amp;quot; as a video project at LuLu, but then they lost their jobs and the project went into limbo. Now it's back as an audio drama, and the first two episodes debuted at Balticon42. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The live show began with a rousing singing of Re: Your Brains led by J.R. Blackwell, then launched into the meat of the first episode, in which ZombInc -- a company in which upper level management are all zombies -- is taking over a web development company. It'll be a full-blown, 10-episode audio drama available in June. &lt;/li&gt;

Fascinating listening for anyone interested in digital media distribution, gaming or otherwise.

Growl-aware apps can send messages to it notifying you when iTunes is switch tracks, someone's come online in Skype, or when you receive a new message in twitter. Can be WAY too much information, particularly when Twitter is running but is useful for certain long running tasks.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Started using Firefox 3 extensively at work and at home. So far I'm likin the more modern interface, but find the &amp;quot;Get information&amp;quot; button next to the url to be annoying; I keep clicking it by accident, which summons a pop up that seems to tell me nothing because the vendor hasn't provided identity information; if I click to get more information I can see some useful stuff, like whether the site is using cookies or Firefox is saving passwords. Good stuff, but the interface needs some tweaking. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RSS and Bookmarking icons are much more prominent. Tagging for bookmarks is nifty, but honestly I moved to using &lt;a href="http://del.icio.us/NukeHavoc"&gt;del.ico.us for my bookmarks&lt;/a&gt; long ago. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Haven't delved much deeper, but it does seem faster&lt;/li&gt;

So far I'm likin the more modern interface, but find the &amp;quot;Get information&amp;quot; button next to the url to be annoying; I keep clicking it by accident, which summons a pop up that seems to tell me nothing because the vendor hasn't provided identity information; if I click to get more information I can see some useful stuff, like whether the site is using cookies or Firefox is saving passwords. Good stuff, but the interface needs some tweaking. RSS and Bookmarking icons are much more prominent. Tagging for bookmarks is nifty, but honestly I moved to using del.ico.us for my bookmarks long ago. Haven't delved much deeper, but it does seem faster Promo: Waplets Podcast http://wapcaplets.podbean.com/ Outro Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=706747005 Email: nuketown@gmail.com&amp;nbsp; Skype: nuketown MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/knewquist&amp;nbsp; Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/NukeHavoc Good Reads: http://www.goodreads.com/profile/nukehavoc </itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>geek,parenting,games,rpgs,comic,books,video,games,card,games,board,games,books</itunes:keywords><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nuketown.com/podcast/radioactive/67</feedburner:origLink><enclosure url="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/nuketownradioactive/~5/294723777/NuRA-2008-05-19.mp3" length="23501497" type="audio/mpeg" /><feedburner:origEnclosureLink>http://www.nuketown.com/files/NuRA-2008-05-19.mp3</feedburner:origEnclosureLink></item>
