Next Time on The E Society Podcast November 10th 2016

The Nez and I record about once a week, sometimes twice, sometimes week and a half. Most likely we'll have a new episode for ya Saturday. A Bunch of topics to discuss and I've been thinking of blogging more as a supplement for the pod like the previous post. So some of what you'll hear.

-Election fallout. Now we aren't a political pod, we like to keep it positive and on the entertainment tip. But I have just a few things i wanna say about it. A few quotes, etc. Promise it won't go longer then 5 minutes.

-Nez's Raiders and Zissou's Broncos :/ :)

-The last week of Warriors basketball. Thunder, Lakers, Pelicans, Mavs, and Nugget games.

- Dr Strange Movie impressions!

-Impractical Jokers Nitro Circus Live

-Walking Dead. thoughts on episode 2 and 3.

-Deadpool 2. Domino and Director

-Quick hits. Westworld? Black Mirror? NES classic. Watchdogs2? Rogue One International Trailer, and figure finds. Target black friday ad. The Accountant. Investigation Discovery/80s deadliest. Nez to ABQ con. 

-Random song recommendation. 

-Random movie recommendation 

-Closing quote

In the meantime you can listen to all the previous E Society pods and Mac Nez pods on both itunes and podbean. :)

Amazon's Kindle can't say "Obama"

lol :P

The New York Times (no stranger to writing about the Prez) says that the name "Barack Obama," when read aloud by the Kindle's computerized text-to-speech system, sounds something like "Brack Alabama."

That's a bit of a problem when you're positioning your product as a replacement for newspapers -- where coverage of the President is a daily event -- and touting its read-aloud system as well.

No word, however, on how the Kindle handles the pronunciation of the words "Ahmadinejad," "Schwarzenegger," "Guantanamo," or "nuclear."

History! :) Obama's inaugural speech

"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace."
