This was a lot of fun!
Nightline went and spent a bit of time at YasWaterWorld and watched the masters of the wave compete in the 2013 World Flowboarding Championships.
VERY COOL!
In part 1 of the radio show we had a chat with the people off the water.
Interesting stuff if I do say so myself!
James Piecowye took over Nightline in October 2006 until it was canceled in June 2018. The cast and crew of Nightline decided to keep the show going and this is where James posts the notes.

October 13 on Nightline
Hour 1 of Nightline was all about school busses and whether or not we really need to stop when the stop signs are out.
As would have it many people didn't think stopping was a priority!
Here is the podcast.
Hr 2 was all about cars and the boys from www.motoringme.com join me to talk about what is hot and what is not.
Want to hear some of the best bits of the show? Here it is.

Line busters Oct 8
In hour 1 of the program we took the time to ask how you deal with people who bud in line!
Here is a bit of the SMS traffic. I asked how do people deal with those who bud in line.
-If queue jumper is an Ema....i, I ignore, if someone else, I ask them to behave.
Farhan
- I usually make it a point to tell the person attending me. And at times when the attending person tells them to get in line. I make it a point to be loud enough for the offender or would be offender to hear and thank the person attending me. Capt Max.
-Hi James. Although I think it can mostly be Attributed to cultural differences, unless they look like tourists or if they're elderly, I definitely don'tlet people cut me in line. Whether it be sticking to the bumper of the car in front of me or telling off people at the grocery. I equate it to tough love. Hopefully if they get told off enough, they'll learn. Adel
-It's the culture over here, etiquettes and patients are more valued in places such as Canada.
-Manners and upbringing comes from home. To control you need to have a meeter and greeter or someone to monitor, you can't change those people who are impatient, whether in a que or driving, you will always experience impatient ignorant people... Live with it!
-My strategy is: look into his/her eyes and ask: Am I invisible to you!!

Wind-Down Wednesday and TechTalk Oct9
Well the Tone Town Sessions are well underway and this week we had a listen to Adonis WOW.
And of course Paul Kelly brought some rocking tunes from the Triplew JukeBox.
And for some fun bits go to SoundCloud.
In hour 2 of the program we had Andrew Thomas from Nexa, digitalnexa.com joining us to talk tech.
And catch my Libratone complaint!
Here are the notes if you want to dig.
This is the link to the hummingbird algorithm chat.

Why Instagram is an issue to consider in business!
This is cool and maybe sad. Online games and junk food!
Yahoo Mail re design!
But with 100 million daily users, Yahoo Mail has long since fallen behind Google’s Gmail, the world’s largest email service, boasting 425 million monthly users. Considering that, and Mayer’s background at Google, perhaps it’s not so surprising the latest version of Yahoo would take on more of the look and feel of Gmail.
Yahoo also capped previously unlimited email storage at 1 terabyte (1,000 gigabytes), which is good for 6000 years of email, according to a Verge report.
Paywall/ time versus money.
Sports Illustrated is testing a paywall that lets readers access its print articles early if they watch a 30-second video ad first.
The provider is Selectable Media, which has been testing consumers’ willingness to watch video ads for free WiFi, music and games. This is its first public test with a major consumer magazine.
Cyber Security Quiz from Media Smart!
Lets do it
Why we need faster computers!
UK users are said to have lost more than 130 hours of their working year waiting, on average, up to 12 minutes for software to load. Even more concerning is that 17pc of those surveyed in the UK admitted to relieving their frustration with physicality, sometimes stamping on or throwing the offending device. German users were most likely to react with aggression, while those in the US and China were least likely to lash out.
The most common cause of these delays in the UK was waiting for files to upload or download followed by slow-loading applications, and little time was wasted waiting for PCs to start up. Close to one-third (30pc) claimed this time spent waiting would put them in a bad mood for the rest of the day, while 29pc said they had lost sleep over it.
Unsurprisingly, this vexing occurrence has now made it into the top 7 most stressful everyday experiences, though it still ranks below being put on hold when on the telephone, going to a medical appointment or waiting for deliveries, which made up the top 3.

Indie Music and Tech
We started off the show listening to some very cool independent music from the middle east.
We started the Tone Town sessions with Tim Hassall and also listened to Who Killed Bruce Lee - room for 3- and Jadal.
In hour 2 it was all about technology! The Libratone Speaker and the HTC One X Mini were both reviewed.
And this is the entire show podcast.
Here are the things we did and did not talk about.
