MacFocus in the New Year
Hey guys. Yes, I know, MacFocus hasn’t had an episode since November. Everyone on the crew has been busy, Apple news has been a little dull and we’ve just been a little unmotivated to tell you the truth.
Seeing as how the new year is coming, we want to hit it off by releasing regular MacFocus episodes. However, like I said, the team is busy, and often has a hard time finding room in our schedules, so, we are once again going to be hiring. This time, we’re looking for two people. One of which who can edit the show every week and another who can send out the outline of the show (which includes the topics of discussion) two days before we record (weekly). These two people will also be part of the recording, and will be able to voice their opinion.
If you feel you want to be part of the MacFocus team, which currently includes myself, Glenn Wolsey, Nick Danforth, James Matarrese and Truman Kain and know for sure that you’ll be able to put aside one hour to record each week, than feel free to apply for the position. This isn’t a paying job, but if we get sponsored, the money will first be spent on expenses (hosting), and the remains will then be split seven ways between the seven of us.
To have a shot at the position, send an e-mail to MacFocusPodcast[at]gmail[dot]com and include your name, age, link to your site (if any) and a 100-150 word paragraph on why you think you would make a great MacFocus member.
So, like I said; we’re looking for one person to edit the show each week and another to handle the writing of the weekly outline, which includes finding interesting stories, news and rumors. If there’s someone out there that can do both of those jobs, than you’ll have a much better chance of getting the position.
Incase you don’t get picked to be part of the team, you can still be part of the show by e-mailing in any ideas, questions or suggestions you may have. We’ll gladly answer and discuss the things you have to say on the show. So, don’t hesitate to send things in!
We’re aiming to get the next MacFocus episode out by January 5th, 2008. With a new theme song, a new team, a new logo, and maybe some bonus “extra” recorded audio at the end of each episode? Stay tuned to find out!
PreviewCast #046: Catching Up on Lost Time
Download MP3 Episode | Download iTunes Enhanced AAC Episode
PreviewCast is officially back, with our first full-length episode in almost 3 months! Even better, co-host Laurence Anderson returns with his first PreviewCast appearance since July!
On this slightly-shorter Boxing Day episode, Larry and Douglas chit chat for awhile about the holidays, Mac OS X Leopard, and some of our early Macworld 2008 predictions. During the conversation, we talk a bit about One Laptop Per Child and the Amazon Kindle. Douglas also talks a bit about the Tech Podcast Network’s recent 24 Hour Podcast Marathon, and Larry tells him a bit about the importance of AppleCare. Also, Skoker joins us for a few minutes from his work at Buffalo/Niagra International Airport via his cell phone. Hey, it’s the end of December, so there’s not much news. Nevertheless, we are making a comeback!
All this and more on this triumphant return episode of PreviewCast!
Sports - War minus the Shooting
Listen to "Sports - War minus the Shooting"The title of this episode comes from the following George Orwell quote: “Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard for all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting." This is meant to be a fun episode on the similarities between football, chess, and war. Please take each analogy with a grain of salt.
Football (two armies fighting to reach the opposing camp/end zone):
- Kick-off Team: Skirmishers
- Quarterback: Tactical Commander
- Head Coach: Strategic Commander
- Halfback: Light Infantry Reserves
- Fullback: Heavy Infantry Reserves
- Tight End: Heavy Cavalry
- Linemen (offensive and defensive): Heavy Infantry
- Wide Receivers: Light Cavalry
- Cornerbacks: Light Cavalry
- Linebackers: Light Infantry
- Safeties: Heavy Cavalry
- Kicker: Artillery
Chess (two armies fighting to defeat the opposing commander):
- Pawns: Heavy Infantry
- Rooks: Artillery
- Knights: Light Cavalry
- Bishops: Light Infantry
- Queen: Heavy Cavalry
- King: Tactical Commander

Food of WWII
Listen to "Food of WWII"This episode is written by Russell Holman of Merrimack, New Hampshire. If you would like to submit a script to Military History Podcast, please send me an email at militaryhistorypodcast@gmail.com
The mighty American military during WWII would have been nothing without its surprisingly-important rationing system. Food kept the United States going, so therefore, it is well worth studying. Throughout WWII and the years beyond, the US entered/exited several "eras" of rations:
- A Rations
- B Rations
- K Rations
- C Rations
- LRRP Rations
- MREs
