April 01, 2009 Not Quite Hippie and What is This Life Thing About Anyway?
This episode starts out with me expressing annoyance over
the "green” movement. The conversation evolves to include questions like: What
is meaning? And, can the existence or lack thereof of god be proven? It is an intriguing
evolution to say the least.

Adult language worked its way back into this one so listener
distraction is advised.

Music used includes
The Nicnacjak.com Podcast Theme Raindrop Rhapsody by
Option42
Hippie Girl by Electrobuddha
The Beginning of the End of the World by The Free Press
Pen & Teller BS Theme

March 29, 2009 The Quest For Adulthood
In this episode I talk about what I term as the philosophical
quest for adulthood. I propose that this quest is inspired by the desire to do something
of consequence while being hindered by the necessity to accept consequence
whilst proceeding through the quest. Although this is a complete episode, intuition
and download records tell me that this is but the start of my topic exploration.

Music in this episode includes:

The Nicnacjak.com Podcast Theme Raindrop Rhapsody by
Option42
Grow Up by Doug Hempstead/Area Resident
When Children Grow Up by Bill Tucker
Consequence by Hypernova

This episode is family friendly!

March 25, 2009 I Wish I were an Englishman or Something of That Accord

In this episode I explore my lack of patriotism. Is it good? Is it bad? Does it really matter if I have respect for the current President? Are other countries doing things better? Is the US doing things better than other countries? Why did we revolt against the English government anyway?

Once more, there is some adult language in this episode; listener discretion is advised.

Music used in this episode includes:
The Nicnacjak.com Podcast Theme Raindrop Rhapsody by Option42

March 20, 2009 The Quest For Adulthood Preamble Maybe….
This episode was inspired by a Facebook Note, of all things.
The focus is the relation between age and life accomplishment or maturity. I
attempt to dispel the myth that these two factors are related in any large
fashion with a special emphasis on the correlation between the age of twenty-three
and the perceived notion of entry into true adulthood.

No strong language in this one; unless, of course, you
consider "hell, damn or crap” to be strong language. But, if that's the case
you are probably too close minded to be listening to my podcast anyway. Being
open minded is good.

My life number as of this post:
18,011 Days till Friday, July 12th, 2058 as of March 20th,
2009

8,936 Days since Sunday, September 30th, 1984 (Update Daily
@ 1215 PDT)

Total Life Span Expected 26,947 Days*

33.16% of expected life span has expired.

*Projected date of death based on the algorithm of
Deathclock.com

To ramble anymore would be a wait of life so I say thank you
Katie. Send me emails with comments. Nicnacjak at gmail dot com.

Enjoy your life,
Nicolas

March 19, 2009 Education Quest
In this episode, I share my current quandary over my educational
inadequacies, desires and my current lack of career success. In this economic
climate, how does one determine if further education is required? If such a determination
can be made, what guarantee is there that further education will pay off?

I also explore my educational history and ponder over mistakes
I've made along the way. This is quite an interesting journey, as I approach
the tenth anniversary of my freshman year of high school.

If you have comments, please send me an email nicnacjak at
gmail dot com. As is now usual, this episode contains adult language; listener discretion
is advised.

Songs used in this episode include:
Paul Simon Krodocrome
Boy @ Heart Never Made a Mistake
The Carpenters Sing
THE CONDUCTORS I"ve Been Working on The Railroad
Sam Cooke Wonderful World
Pink Floyd Another Brick in the Wall Part II

Thanks,
Nicolas

February 25, 2009 Being Googled
In this episode I go for the quintessential "look how
much technology has changed our lives in the last 20 years" rant. I marvel
at the vulnerability of Microsoft and the contestant operating system debate
among computer users. I also wonder how Google makes it money; can Adsense be
doing it all? I also visit the topics of Wii controls, 3D games, and GPS in
aviation.

Once again this episode contains some strong language so listener discretion is
advised.

Please send me feedback nicnacjak at gmail dot com.

Thanks,
Nicolas

February 21, 2009 Rethinking Sanity
I start off this episode by ranting about the TSA and their proposed "Large Aircraft Security Program”. I submit that the TSA stands in sharp contract to the principles put forth by the fourth amendment. I go on to promote the wonderful world of General Aviation and emphasize the negative impact that the Large Aircraft Security Program would have on this wonderful world.
I also mention that today (February 20th, 2009) marks Kurt Cobain's 42nd Birthday and comment on his work and the grunge alterative culture that is now is now ingrained in Seattle, The Emerald City.
Once more there is some “adult” language in this one so listener discretion is advised. Comments are welcomed via the email address nicnacjak at gmail dot com.

Thanks,
Nicolas

February 20, 2009 Don’t Shoot The Messenger: More Tales from the Depths of Retail Hell
In this adult originated episode (adult language; don't listen
if you are going to be offended; hint hint) I share a horror story about a
couple that rudely made their way through my line last Wednesday. I offer you,
the customer, a few tips, inquire about the reusable bag thing, share my love
for cities by the bay and my express distress over my isolation and the cruddy
state of the economy/world.
