Two new episodes of Jim Dupree: Enthusiast
It’s been a long while, and our original Fibonacci-based release schedule has been abandoned. But this week, almost an entire year after the first episode, Tristan posted the thrilling finale to season four of Jim Dupree: Enthusiast, Jim Dupree: Nickname Enthusiast:
So now it’s on to season five (which will be posted according to no regular schedule). To kick things off, Cat Enthusiast:
With the purchase of a brand-new (to us) HD camcorder, you may be able to look forward to higher-fidelity videos from Collective Productions in the future.

Crack and Cheese
Jenna sends me the best recipes. Tonight I made “Perfect Macaroni and Cheese” (AKA crack and cheese). I’m pretty sure I dirtied every pot in the house.
Yum. There is no way this is good for me.

You can’t block users from private Meraki mesh networks
If someone knows the WPA2 password to your Meraki mesh network, and you want to block them, you can’t. The block function only works on the public network. Meraki’s Jeff Gould explains in an email to me:
The blocking function works only on the public network. There is no blocking capacity on the private Meraki Network. There are a variety of folks who would like to have this functionality and I believe that we will have features to address this in 2009.
Wow. So, like, sometime this year? That’s kind of vague.
Right now, it seems the only way to keep someone that knows your password off your network is to change your password.

“You are sombody that needs pledge drive justice”
Via the latest This American Life newsletter, some very, very funny pledge drive spots from Ira Glass. Click to listen:
Though they’re funny, I don’t think these as effective as Ira’s twice-yearly, straight-up, arithmetic-based podcast promos.

Revisiting Canadian Heritage Vignettes
A few years ago, when Tristan and I lived at 298 Jarvis, alongside shooting episodes of Jim Dupree, we started a short-lived side project called Canadian Heritage Vignettes. We only made three episodes, all shot with the video mode of a Casio Exilim EX-S500 still camera. The joke, of course, was that they had nothing at all to do with Canadian heritage. In our defense, though, they were vignettes.
So then, collected here for your enjoyment, all three episodes of Canadian Heritage Vignettes. My favourite is episode three, in which Tristan accidently drops his iBook.
Episode One: Tristan finds Dan’s photo on Google Image Search
Episode Two: Dan examines the ingredients used in Ruffles potato chips
Episode Three: Tristan asks Dan for the remote control
