England the home of Top Gear and automotive enthusiasts. London, the home of cramped streets and high society. These two are both apparently in dire need of tasty chilled treats. Enter the HMS Flake 99…. Licensed to Chill, with its captain and vendor in chief Dave Mounfield. A stand up comic with a pension of treats. The truck is actually a floating tasty protest / billboard for the plight of the ice cream truck industry. Down to a fraction of their size from 50 years ago due to restrictions on noise concerns over childhood obesity and other concerns these trucks are a dieing breed, but no one said anything about the rivers! Reminds me of the Silly Monkies Jumping on the bed.
You know as an aside 50 years ago we didn’t have tons of fat kids running around. I’m guessing its a problem with moderation and the modern ingredients and variants of the old ice cream recipes. But thats just me throwing ideas around. The van sponsored by Fredricks, the owners of the venerable Cadbury Brand, the HMS Flake 99 is currently patrolling the waters of the Thames in London with plans on crossing the channel and heading to Venice for next season! Now if ever there was a city in need of a floating confection store it is Venice!
Today was supposed to be a live show with some new concepts being put forth. I’m still toying with the idea of doing video, I’m just not sure how to incorporate it into the stream around here. Its never good when the IT Guy, the Computer Guru has to spend hours trying to fix his own machines. So this podcast was the fallback position after the live show didn’t pan out.
There are a ton of great stories and blurbs that made it into tonight’s show, and I’m thinking that we are going to reschedule the other special events after I have had some dry runs with the technology involved.
That being said the Adopt a NewB day still needs some tweaking. I have Ideas and it might extend beyond a holiday, but I’m asking all of you. What do you think of the concept?
Today’s show has a fun announcement, a reminder about PodCamp Philly coming up quick and tons of great news and tidbits for your enjoyment. We also find the time to harness the power of the sun, check out some of the latest in geek workout techniques and how to open a bottle of wine with some interesting tools.
