It’s funny how Jim Lehrer would ask a very specific question to the presidential candidates last Tuesday, and both candidates often took their sweet time getting around to answering the question. So I downloaded audio of the debate and had some fun splicing and dicing it to shorten their answers by a good chunk of time. Some answers may be out of context, but some are quite interesting and most are at least amusing. It was a fun waste of my time if nothing else.

And if you missed the Presidential Debate last Tuesday, you can still grab a copy online.

I am not a coffee drinker. Even with loads of sugar, creamer, milk, whatever, I do not care for coffee at all. But I absolutely do love the smell of it in the morning. So when my wife brews her cup of coffee in the mornings, I love to hang around the coffee pot and smell the delicious aroma. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have the technology to record smells as we do audio and visual. So I give you the next best thing, the sound of the coffee pot brewing coffee in the morning at the Shewmaker house. I can almost smell it…

Anyone who has ever lived even close to a railroad knows just how loud they can be. Even if you discount their 90+ db horn blast, just the sound of these massive machines barreling down the track is enough to disrupt the normal sound flow. This is a one minute snipit of the last bit of a train passing close by a friend’s apartment. (so no choo choo sound this time, sorry)
