mp3 rips???

[epii10]

I've been searching for mp3 (audio) rips of the videos. I haven't been able to find any but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done. Does anyone know if audio rips have been done yet? Currently as of (04/08/08) I'm still snatching the videos off YouTube and converting them from .flv to .wmv. I can do the mp3 audio rips myself but once done I'm a bit stupid as to where to post them or for that matter (how) to post them.

This will be a bit time consuming what with trimming off dead air on the ends and splicing the individual chapter clips together as one mp3 per chapter, but I'm happy to do it if it hasn't already been done.

I don't have a webpage so for anyone with the means to accept uploads I would much appreciate hearing from you. Here's my email:

Thanks,
Rick

P.S. Oh, and Greg... what can I say about your work brother.... **** now I'm starting to cry

Thank you, Rick. I just read your post and showed it to my wife. It keeps both of us going.

Silly me! I've been grabbing the videos and converting them from .flv to .wmv from YouTube. If I knew anyone else into this stuff they would have shreiked; "hey stupid! they're on the Manpollo site". Just recently I noticed the "downloads" tab at Manpollo.. hey, gimmie a break, it's darkened out and very hard to spot.. that and I'm just a dumb musician (I'm starting to sound like evil Greg). In any event I got 'em all in a snap off Manpollo and now I still need to know where I can upload the ripped mp3's.

I must say.. they work pretty well as audio, just can't see all the visual aids or our modest unassuming superhero. Great for walking, working out, driving (oops I mean walking) to work, blah blah blah.

I need someone to tell me where I can upload the ripped mp3's!!! hmm.. wait a minute, maybe I can upload them right here to the Manpollo site. I'll email Eric Sodomka and ask him. Great idea Rick go for it!.. sorry, just thinking aloud.

Greg strikes me as being too modest to say this so I'll say it:
EAT, SLEEP, BREATHE, AND YES... MAKE LOVE WITH THESE GEM'S THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO US UNTIL EVERY SINGLE RATIONAL VETTED WORD IS COMMITTED TO MEMORY!!! What this guy has done is nothing short of historical.. and I thought Nietzsche and philosophy were cool. For a guy like me who spends most of his alone time lost in musical la-la land (a very nice place to be BTW) Greg's excited energy yet cool headed rationality is like a symphony to my ears. If we can remember all this stuff we will be like Neo in "The Matrix" where he just stands there and watches all the bullets fall down in slow motion. No anti-scientific argument will be able to harm us. AGW is not about being true or false, it's about risk assessment. Ahh.. brilliant!!!

I'm a bit of a science buff and I know I'm babbling but I'm serious when I say this guy has done the greatest thing since Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe", David Goodstein's "The Mechanical Universe" and Carl Sagan's "Cosmos".. okay, that's pushing it.. no it's not! (Greg are you listening, I just put you in with Carl Sagan?) I stand by that statement cuz Greg's soon to be famous "credibility list" is a tool that can apply to many aspects of life. Like for instance "news". Right now I feel less like visiting my favorite website the Huffington Post (an advocacy group.. and yes, I'm a liberal) and more like going straight to a neutral corner like the AP and Reuters and NPR for news (they're about as unbias as I can determine). Damn you Greg! Your making me smarter.

Yikes! Did I have another blackout? Sorry for all the blah blah!

Luv ya Greg!

Awesome. Ripping the videos into mp3s would be an excellent contribution, and we'd love to host them here. Let me know when they're done and we'll get them online. Thanks!

Just to update everyone: the mp3s have been added to the site, and are available from the "Downloads" section. Thanks, Rick!
