So unfortunately we were far to busy last night with actually shooting the video to be able to record a podcast. So we are going to do it tonight. Stay tuned.

It's all good, if you hadn't shot the video last night, then there wouldn't be much of a podcast at all next week, now would there? Not to mention we'd kill you for missing an update....
So yeah, late podcast: perfectly acceptable here.

And I thought I had it bad with a 4 hour difference between me and Victoria was bad.
Also my college classes suck because Im a freshman and I was in the last orientation group, so my classes suck even more.

I just got back from visiting home, and now I'm in Chicago, horrendously jetlagged.
Otherwise... I'll just have to resort to Professor Layton.
Unrelated note, I'm in teh 'burbs.
Consider this signature a museum piece, since I love it and am unlikely to change it ever.

I actually was looking at the wiki pages as Graham talked about it, down to not finding the page until after he said, "Wikipedia doesn't think it exists."

Oh right, feedback for the mic, since you complained last time. Yeah, it sounds a lot louder that most things you've tried, plus I can hear each speaker clearly, and not like some Bill is speaking through the wall and Matt is screaming into it (well aware they weren't there). I spent £60 ($120ish) on a microphone, not real regrets.
Also, magic the gathering, dungeons and dragons, catapults versus trebuchets; you guys are so cool.

Grr, you skipped right past my Timeline question...oh well.
Mic quality was very good, though I'm not sure I follow on the "Blue snowball" front.
Yes, I talked very fast. I'm known for doing very verbose writing and I was trying to fit it all into 15 seconds, which with the miracle of some minor editing I managed to accomplish.

The audio didn't really seem all that much better for nearly the entire thing...but then after it cut for the 15 seconds of fame (when you realized there were 4 of them) the audio seemed a bunch better. But still not $120 better...Hmmm...

Not entirely sure what the 'snowball' thing is about, but now I'm afraid to google it..
About the mics:
is it possible for you to set up two microphones, and group the podcast participants around them based on their types of voice?
That way you could filter the audio accordingly, and make the podcast less 'peaky'. For instance, if you could adjust Matt (and Jers?) voice a bit so that it fits in better with the lower voices of Graham and Bill, I wouldn't feel the need to constantly adjust the volume to better suit the voice of the one speaking at the moment.
Am I making sense?
But anyway, I love listening to your podcasts, it is in my weekly top five. And the mic is great, I now no longer have to boost the volume and change the equalizer settings to 'voice' in iTunes before I can make out what you guys are saying.
[edit]
Oh, last thing: Vanhumbeck might have been Dutch, but it sounds more Belgian to me. The Dutch name would be "Van Humbeck", or, more likely, something like "van Humbeek".
Van, by the way means of as in son of or from the town/location of. The Dutch almost always seperate the van, while the Belgians stick it onto the name itself. Of course one of Morgans ancestors might have started writing van and Humbeck together to make his life easier, but all of it just sounds Belgian to me.
Following the same rules, "De Vere" should seem Dutch, but it's not a name I recognize, so I'm guessing it originates from Belgium as well.

I'm not going to challenge your expertise on the matter, but I've met a lot of Americans of Dutch ancestry who have a concatenated "van" or "van der". I see two explanations.
First, it might have been practice when moving to other countries to concatenate; in the US in particular it was extremely common during the period of immense immigration through Ellis Island, NY to simplify, anglicize, or otherwise butcher excessively *foreign* names. It was a short interview, and the officers on duty were very busy.
The other explanation is something Wiki suggested: what city are you from? Wiki, you see, cites concatenation as a common trait among the southern Dutch.
I heart language.
