Flumadiddle

Greeting to all you Shatters! Can you believe it, Stanky "Jon" Jankowitz and Nucky "Keith" C. are back in the saddle again. The band is back together for our first reunion tour. And today we are coming to you live from the Shat International Film Studio and Equestrian Center with a brand new episode about the creative hooligan, technological guru, and murderer, Eadweard Muybridge. This guy was a seminal figure in early motion picture technology. He was a renowned photographer who worked with railroad magnate Leland Stanford to answer the question; is a horse ever completely aloft as it gallops. In the process, he invented the zoopraxiscope and helped set pictures in motion! Oh... and he also happened to murder his 21yo wife's lover! So hop on this wild, galloping podcast with us; we hope you enjoy the ride.

Keith and Jon here,   In the SHAT brain science laboratory and psychedelic gift shop with a fabulous new podcast for you. I know it feels like we've done this one before but we really haven't. It's just Deja Vu, all over again. We are not talking about the amazing CSN&Y album here but that strange feeling...  That wild, slightly uncomfortable feeling of having been here, having done this before. Join us  today as Keith and I dive into the scientific and spiritual aspects of this really odd, mysterious experience. And as always thanks for spending your time listening to our humble, little podcast! Grace and Peace. 

Jon and Keith are back at it ladies and gentleman. We are here at the Shat Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, in a highly guarded and secretive location in of all places, Alabama, with some exciting SHAT to share with you. So, have you ever heard of Douglas Engelbart? We hadn't either until recently. He is most famously known as the inventor of the ubiquitous computer input device known as the mouse! But there's much more you fabulous flumadiddlers. On December 9th of the tumultuous year of our Lord, 1968, he did a thing! A big thing! He demonstrated the future of computing, or as the wikipedias puts it... He did a 90-minute presentation demonstrating for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor. Engelbart's presentation was the first to publicly demonstrate all of these elements in a single system.  So sit back and enjoy as we caress your earholes with this amazing story.

Keith and Jon here at the Shat Podcasting World HQ and Ice Cream Parlor.   We are starting season 8 y'all. I thought it was 7 but Keith sez, NO?
