Nice work guys, congrats on the 50 eps and the 1 year anniversary.

More vomit trivia:

Apparently frogs can’t throw up either. So if they swallow something poisonous and need to eject it, they distend or prolapse their stomach out through their mouth and scrap the poisonous contents off.

Now the interesting part is that because of the shape of the stomach curves to one side (lets say the right), only one of their hands can reach the stomach to scrape it. The kicker is that if the frog is one in a small minority of left handed frogs, it will have greater difficulty in scraping off the poisonous contents from its stomach. This increases their risk of death from ingesting poisonous stuff and there by further shrinking the left-handed frog population further.

And this brings me to the launch of my charity foundation, ‘Its Not Easy Being Green AND Left Handed’. Please give all you can to this worthy cause and you could save these precious freaks of nature.

Regards, Adam Meehan CEO of INEBGALH Foundation

DISCLAIMER: This could be bullshit as it was dusted off from the archives of my mind, circa 1995.

Awesome work guys. Congratz for the 1 year anniversary and the 50 episode milestone. You guys make it so funny, that RailsEnvy became the only podcast I never miss a single episode.

BTW, I thought Jason said “Rats can’t scale”. :)

Hey guys! Thanks for the link, and glad you found the code interesting. I had to rewind and check my ears when I heard my name. :)


Gregg Pollack – October 10, 2008 @ 10:02 AM

LOL, Adam.. I’m half tempted to include that as a news item in the next show. Maybe one totally nonesensical story a week.

Thanks Gaveen and Ernie!

Congrats! It’s a lot of work to do a podcast and is extra impressive that you did a whole year and only took two weeks off. Keep ‘em coming.


Carl – October 13, 2008 @ 02:12 AM

I’m wondering how long it takes you to put together your podcast each week? Both the actual recording time, and the prep time, along with the editing, etc.


Bumi – October 14, 2008 @ 09:55 AM

Congrats and a huge thanks for your work! I’m looking forward for the next railsenvy year!


Jason Seifer – October 15, 2008 @ 12:05 AM

Thanks everyone!

@Carl Prep time is about 4-5 hours for gathering the stories, recording time is usually 1 hour, and editing is around 3 – 5 hours. Gregg usually gathers the stories and writes up the general scripts and I do the editing—cleaning up the audio, addding music and sound effects, etc. Sometimes we switch and help each other with the different parts, also.

You didn’t add a resource link to Ack in Project… I think you were talking about this right? http://github.com/protocool/ack-tmbundle/tree/master
