Have you ever wondered what I sound like? You can hear my voice, along with that of Sonja Thompson, in our new podcast TR Out Loud:
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/tr-out-loud/

We cooked up this idea just for our favorite ?hard core? members, and those who want to be just like you. We wanted to do something fun and lighthearted... Well, we sure did laugh a lot, so perhaps we've done it.

TiggerTwo joined us on this one for a bit, and we?ve mentioned quite a few of your names.

Give it a listen and be sure to tell us what you think!

Just a reminder to my peers- this is a new thing for TR.
Please take a moment to mark as helpful at the top of the
page so that they know if it's something we want to have
continue. And remember, a TR coffee cup could be in
your
future!

Great job, Beth and Sonja!

Edited because this is my senile day. Sonja is spelled with
a "j", Sonja is spelled with a "j"...

I'm looking forward to the next one. Oddly, you both do sound just like yourselves - to quote another famous TR entity! :D

That's got to be a personal record.

I follow the link, but when I click Play nothing happens. Confess, this is really just a graphic with no code behind it, right? You've got a pool on how many people will click on it, and the winner gets Derby tickets.

What is this media-challenged redneck doing wrong this time? I'm using Firefox 2, if that makes any difference.

This is Charlie from Lexington. I've got a '94 Nissan Sentra, silver, 237 thousand miles. About two months ago I started hearing a whining sound. When I step on the gas, the whine increases in pitch. When the automatic transmission shifts, the whine drops back down in frequency and then speeds up again as the RPMs pick up. The noise does the same thing whether I'm in gear or neutral. It doesn't make any difference whether I'm going straight or if the wheels are turned. I've checked the transmission fluid and it looks full and the fluid is clean. It burns a little oil, but less than a quart between changes.

What? This isn't 'Car Talk'???

Looking at the name of the MP3, and you have her labeled as a troll? :0

I would hide, if I were you..... ;\

I liked it so far, waiting for the next one.
However, I do have some suggestions (yes tis true)..

Although the discussion forums are a big part of TR, and I do not want to lessen the importance (of the top posters), many people do not use the discussions often, but answer questions regularly. So although they may not have the most posts ever, maybe acknowledging them for their efforts would be another category to add. Or who got the most Thumbs Ups in a week! (create more weekly competition).

Hey, I just realized, I missed the sh!t list, how the.... never mind... keep my mouth shut for now :0

P.S. It sounded like ya'll had fun with it. If its fun for you, keep it up!

by beth blakely

We'll figure out a way to honor those Thumb-rich posters!

We had SO. MUCH. FUN.

There's plenty of time to make the ShhhIT List for next week, Mr. Scum. ;-)

by beth blakely

spells TROL! We got such a kick out of the show's acronym spelling the name of our worst community pest! We've been giggling about that for a bit.

(Credit for naming the podcast must go to The Trivia Geek, Jay Garmon. He's good at stuff like that.)

P.S. Sonja is WAY tougher than me! You guys are just lucky you have ole creampuff Blakely to deal with instead of her. ;-)

to bring TR into the gutter???

if Beth is too soft, we can... get away with many things!!! shhhhh, I dont want to be put on that list till next week..

by the scummy one

Sh!t List
ShhhIT List
or Schitt list
???

You decide. But it appears to be the middle one to some of the TR crew!

it's all about discussions.....

guess I will stop posting to questions and start posting in discussions....

I got a coffee mug from Smorty now I'm thinking tee shirt......

most creative use of technology?

hooking up the inter-oral camera "Einstein" so that patients can see on the TV what the Dentist is talking about, and for the dentist to snap pictures saved to to the laptop that takes xrays....

oh, yeah.... have to email this.......

by pser

Great idea and very well executed!

T.R. OL ? that is just tooooo funny and extremely apropos! However, do you think calling out the "trolls" by name could possibly encourage more to come out of the woodwork for the fame and fortune this would bring them?!?!? ;) Only time and Beth will tell/know for sure!

Good luck with it all, I'll be listening in. If for no other reason than to see how long it takes the scummy one to make the "list"! See, you've already encouraged one of 'em! (j/k w2k) :p

PS: Kudos to you as well TT ... but we all already knew how awesome you are!

as there was no way to 'discuss' at the audio blog.

That was fun. I was ready to comment even before hearing it, as I am quite amused by the existence of "The ShhhIT List". Way to go, Beth and Sonja. That is a very cool way to review the week in blogs. It was also nice to hear from Tig again, and I'm glad to hear the voice/throat sounds better! Is she quick off the mark answering a phone, or what?

I was a bit shocked to hear that I was in the top five posters for that week past. I haven't been around too much lately.

All in all, fantastic! I really like the directions TR is taking this year. Thumbs up.

by seanferd

Say, do you have a day that ends at some point, or are you always on? :)
Thanks for the reply. I'll have to see what's goin' on Monday, when I have time. Have a good weekend.

by seanferd

I wouldn't dream of trying to stop you. You just keep on doin' your thang. You are still required to have a nice weekend. :)
