The most recent Kuato update
I wasn’t sure I wanted to do this, but people have been asking how they can help. As with a lot of things, this whole process has had hidden expenses I wasn’t expecting.
I want to thank everyone who has emailed, called, and voicemailed, and sent me words of encouragement and advice. You have no idea what it means to me.
Show #25: Schedule Change
Originally, we were going to talk about “Far-Seer” by Robert J. Sawyer, and since that book was a Joe selection, we really didn’t want to do this topic without his involvement. But he’s taking a Ninjas sabbatical until Kuato is taken care of, so “Far-Seer” is being put back on the shelf.
Show #25: Pre-show Discussion
Show #25 will be about the Robert J. Sawyer novel, “Far-Seer”.
Joe chose this one, an allegorical tale about Galileo, set in a world of intelligent and advanced dinosaurs.
Another Ninja guest spot
Into the Dark, a podcast brought to us by H. R. Tucker and the Computer King, features Summer in the latest episode.
A discussion of Santa’s “inherent evil”, and a Computer King Arena smackdown with Summer Ninja vs The Reigning Shogun of Taiwan.
The Lensman series
Dave loves the Lensman series. He’s wanted to do that series ever since we started this show. So, should the Lensman series be read in publication order, or in the “chronological” story sequence order?
Show Discussions open
Those of you who’ve been around since we started this show know that I’d implemented a plugin that automatically closed the comments form after 4-5 weeks, basically to save me from having to clean up as much comment spam. With the newer and better comment spam filters out there, I’d been thinking about removing that [...]
KAMN Show #24: The Day The Earth Stood Still
The Ninjas discuss the 1951 classic scifi feature, The Day The Earth Stood Still. Once again, the Ninjas disagree.
Both David and Joe were disappointed and displeased with the story, leaving Summer alone to defend it’s merits. She also adds a little bit more historical perspective, in terms of it being the film to create what would later become the “standard” for B-movies of the 50s and 60s
Ninjas in Other Podcasts
Right after Thanksgiving, I chatted with The Lipstick Aliens, Show #13. They even stumped me with some trivia questions.
A brief Kuato update.
Did the laxative on Wed. Went easier than I thought it would after what people told me. Did the scope on Thursday. Don’t remember a thing. Gooood drugs. Mass didn’t seem to penetrate the colon, but does invade the duodenum. I guess that’s where the stomach meets the small intestine. Screw it, if you’ve never [...]
Show #24: Pre-show Discussion
Show #24 will be about the film “The Day The Earth Stood Still”.
This 1951 scifi classic often gets lumped in with “all those formulaic B-movies”, but this is the movie that inspired the tropes that were beaten to death later in all those B-movies.
KAMN Show #23: Gateway
The Ninjas discuss Frederick Pohl’s award-winning novel Gateway. Published in 1977, it won the Hugo Award in 1977, and the Nebula and John C. Campbell awards in 1978.
Another Kuato update
Just to give everybody a idea of what’s up. I talked to the surgeon this past week, and we decided on a colonoscopy, and based on those results, determine whether to start with surgery, or do chemo first to shrink the mass. I’ll have the colonoscopy on the 21st (these docs are lightning fast, eh?) [...]
Not dead. Resting? I’ve...
