After fighting all the bears, the warrior eventually comes down from the mountain

March 22, 2013 in Announcements by Societus

For those of you who till remember it, you will have noticed there have been no podcasts in over a year.I do not plan to make any excuses, but I’m here to announce the return of SocTom. There will not be any unacheivable goals like daily or weekly podcasts. Since I have limited recording time, my major form of  publishing will be via blog post.

I’m still unsure oof what topics subscribers here want from me,so until I get specific requests, the posts will be a random mix of topics, ranging from tech tips and reviews to step by step instructions for how to build a backyard sprinkler system.

Sorry for being gone for so long, but look forward to what is to come!

Episode 14 – It’s The End of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine..)

January 19, 2012 in Podcast, Survival by Societus

Well, you know who you are, congratulations, you have angered me into a new episode, so pat yourself on the back, lift your head up high, and blow your brains out! I find it unlikely that the type of person who would listen to my type of podcast could seriously think this way, so I am going to believe that this episode is the direct result of a laser-targeted talking point with the intent of sending me off into a tie-raid.

This episode is a kind of motivational speech on putting fatalism in its place, I hope you enjoy it, and take what I say to heart. Don’t lose hope for the future, just profit from everyone who idiotically does.

Episode 012 – Hypermiling

January 2, 2012 in Money, Podcast, Resources, Transportation by Societus

Happy new year and welcome back for a new year of amazing stuff!

Today I’m talking about Hyper-miling, which for those not in the know, is the skill people have been refining to improve their fuel economy through maintenance, performance parts, and driving style changes. Practice it and you will notice a difference! I’ve gone from 13MPG up to 21!!

Holiday Break and Content Questionnaire

December 27, 2011 in Uncategorized by Societus

I never really mentioned it per se, so this is largely a reminder that I am taking this week off, so I can do things with friends and family whom I don’t often get to see.

I have been tinkering with the idea of recording my podcasts over the road, so I can put out more content, if anyone here is interested in me trying this out, put a positive comment on the page. I will likely be trying a couple of these to get a feel for the quality I can expect if I do this full time.

December 25, 2011 in Podcast by Societus

Happy assorted holidays! This episode is short and sweet, just a brief message to the people of the interwebs, along with a rarely ever publicly heard guitar accoutrement (me=rusty).

Episode 010 – News & Other BS

December 23, 2011 in Explicit, Podcast, Resources by Societus

Explicit content warning!!! I’ve loosened my belt on keeping this episode clean, so consider yourself warned.

Today I cover a bunch of things going on lately, as well as give you a painful glimpse into the world of a tech support guy.

Let me know if you want me to keep doing episodes like this once in a while, its actually quite liberating to not go back and edit myself out when I slip up saying something

Episode 008 – Old Gold: Used Computer Shopping Guide

December 20, 2011 in Personal Computers, Podcast by Societus

Hey guys, today I’m going to tackle the single most common question I get from people on my tech support lines. “I found this old PC on eCraigsPawnSwapMeet, is it any good?” So sit back and take in the basics of deciding if the $150 laptop you’re looking at is still worth buying, or if you are trapped in obsolescence.

Episode 007- Preparedness Kits

December 20, 2011 in Podcast, Survival by Societus

Hey guys, sorry for being late in posting this, if you can’t tell by listening to this episode, I was sick and slept for the vast majority of the day before realizing I hadn’t uploaded the audio, but here you go.This one is a bit long, and has significantly more editing (had to remove the lung shredding coughs)

Today is all about the basics in putting together prep kits for various needs, and at the end is a neat trick for using a flashlight like a room lamp

  • Everyday Carry Kits
  • 72 hour/Camping Kits
  • Extended/Evac Disaster Kits
  • Car Kits

Tune in Tuesday afternoon for a Computers episode on purchasing affordable PCs and sizing your electronics needs.
