Show #117 - Peeking at Your Pills
Wed, 13 Aug 2008 04:01:00 GMT
There's been some weird issues with the way our show notes have been appearing lately, so I'm going to try this for the meantime. If you're a show notes junky (and even if you're not), drop a line and let me know which way you prefer.

So, this week we discuss the privacy (or lack thereof) of your Health Information, look into the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig, offer up Anti-Pet Peeve 3, and talk about the Korean film, Oldboy.
As usual, music was provided by IODAPromonet.
Intro -- "Fowler Farm" from Fowler Farm by Erin McDermott.
Bumpers -- "Bouches D'or" from Bonsai Bop by The Ryoko Trio.
Outro -- "Susie Takes a Trip" from Outlines by Steve Payne.
