From experiences on the road while shooting documentaries to often-obscure points of order, Jason keeps a fast-moving pace and even he doesn"t know where we"re ending up at the end.

2017/12/29

Andy. With the close of the year comes the exciting prospect of how next year's taxes will be handled. Naturally, I'll be having an accountant help me. I bring this up as I have multiple times in the past because I've run into a number of people who have tax issues who are some sort of ashamed that they're experiencing problems or bumps, and feel in some way this makes them look bad. If I may, please let me be the first to say that taxes are not intuitive and you can't just wing them or think it's

The Internet Archive Grab Bag

2017/12/18

The Internet Archive Grab Bag: Another Week Online, The Archive Building, The Verifications, The Ups and Downs, The Narrative, Patreon Fail, PODCAST.TEXTFILES.COM, Building Pride and Love, Teeth, Thanks. Recorded on the office floor of the Internet Archive, I went for a grab bag of random thoughts, so this episode is very, very loose. I also didn't have my pop shield out here, so apologies to your speakers. I mention the Patreon stupid and also offer PODCAST.TEXTFILES.COM as the secure central

The Stuff and Value Episode

Jason Scott Talks His Way Out of It ·

2017/12/08

When the Door Rolls Up, The Last Cache of Commodore, One More Time About the Manuals, Rusted Amigas, Money Money Money, The Meaning of it All. A pleasant enough essay about the nature of piles of "stuff" I get offered or that fall into my lap. Why does this happen? What are my thoughts on it? Here's a good starting overview of this aspect of history. I will say that the Great Patreon Stumble of 2017 has encouraged me to decentralize this podcast and contributions, which I bet will be good for me

User Meets, Online Versus Offline, OSUNY, Without a Location, 2600 Meetings, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, The Works, Trials, What Are You Doing I loosened up my speaking style a tad to see how that flows. A lot of fun thoughts and stories about user meets, BBS meets and life offline versus online. This episode mentions the new funding goal, where I'll add link dumps to each episode's description. Thanks again!

The Song of the Information Cube

Jason Scott Talks His Way Out of It ·

2017/11/25

The Song of the Information Cube: The Piles, The Shelves, The Ark, The Visitors, The Moment of Realization, The Burden, The Exodus, The Freedom. Also: The Bill. The Legend of the Information Cube! And with it, ten episodes of the podcast recorded. As someone who has done a lot of archiving of podcasts over the years, I know this is the critical jump - it's when a lot of these either strengthen their resolve and last a long time, or when they just fade away. I'm intending to stick around.

The Summer Camp and Computer Camp Episode

Jason Scott Talks His Way Out of It ·

2017/11/16

Summer Camp and Computer Camp: Advertisements, Surprise Lake, Devil's Bargain, I'm Gonna Kill You, Food Heist, Computer Tutor, Meal Plan, Williamstown, What Pirates, Learning. I recorded this episode a little looser with more emotional modulation to see how it comes off. It's about two different camps I went to as a kid, as well as how it all wrapped in with computers and my desires to at once escape and be part of something. I've been really enjoying these sessions at Beacon Soundworks, who have
