The forum for discussing the Practically Happy podcast has been discontinued.
You can still send email to PracticallyHappy@gmail,com.
Below are the Show Notes (and comments from the old forum) for each show.
Show 062: Finis
Show date: 05/08/07
Length: 4:03
All things come to an end. I’ve decided to move on to other projects for my creative energy.
Show 061: Fire & Axe: A Viking Saga (game)
Show date: 04/17/07
Length: 4:38
Trade, raid, then settle. That’s the order to do things most effectively when playing Fire & Axe: A Viking Saga.
Show 060: LCD Monitor
Show date: 03/21/07
Length: 4:40
When my 19″ CRT gave out, I needed a new monitor. I decided to go big, and found a great deal while browing MoreStuff4Less.com.
I got a 22″ BenQ LCD monitor and am pleased at how much I can have open at the same time and still see. You’ve got to try it to become a believer.
Show 059: Travian
Show date: 03/06/07
Length: 4:19
I’ve found that I like games where I build things. In September 2006 I discovered an on-line game called Travian that makes me the king of my own kingdom and lets me build it from scratch.
Show 058: Heroes, Medium, Naruto
Show date: 02/13/07
Length: 6:26
I’m not much a television watcher, but in February 2006 I find myself tuning into 3 programs during the week.
Heroes, Medium, and Naruto are the shows that I make time to watch, and each show has particular aspects that keep me tuning in.
Show 057: Foosball
Show date: 01/23/07
Length: 3:03
Santa brought my son Casey a foosball table for Christmas 2006.
I never realized how much foosball was — it turns me into a boy again when I play with him.
Show 056: BookMooch.com
Show date: 01/02/07
Length: 4:22
Reading and recycling are two core components of my character. I’m able to do both using BookMooch.com.
Show 055: Alligator Lopper
Show date: 12/12/06
Length: 3:17
Outdoor chores are still chores. One that is infrequent, but takes a long time to do manually, is manually cutting up branches from the tree.
The Black & Decker Alligator Lopper really speeds this chore along.
I got mine from Amazon.com.
Show 054: Lunch
Show date: 11/21/06
Length: 3:12
Lunch is my favorite meal of the day.
Sharing it with coworkers and friends makes it even better.
Show 053: Anniversary and Opportunity
Show date: 10/31/06
Length: 7:55
The Practically Happy show is celebrating it’s one year anniversary.
It’s been a good year — much learning, and lots of listens by people all over.
Producing shows to publish every week has become more of a chore than an adventure, so I’m changing the release schedule to a “Jim Matt” Practically Happy show published every 3 weeks.
I am interested in publishing Practically Happy shows with content contributed by listeners for the “in-between” weeks. Click the About tab for more details.
Show 052: Note Studio
Show date: 10/24/06
Length: 3:16
Free form databases really help you get the information out of your brain and into an electronic form.
Note Studio, by DogMelon, works on both PCs and Macs, and can transfer your info to and from your PalmPilot.
Show 051: Beer Camp
Show date: 10/17/06
Length: 3:18
It’s real name is MissaukeeCon, the boardgaming weekend a group of friends has up north in early October. I like to call it Beer Camp — it’s a play on the phrase Deer Camp, as it’s archery deer season in Michigan.
The fun and camaraderie with friends that you see all together just once a year makes it worth getting it on the schedule to attend.
Show 050: Political Cartoons
Show date: 10/10/06
Length: 3:27
I like HIP things (hypocrisy, irony and parody). Political cartoons shine at getting the message across quickly.
You can see collections of current political cartoons at Cagle.com.
Show 049: Power Grid (game)
Show date: 10/03/06
Length: 7:21
I really didn’t like the game Funkenschlag when I played it. The building of your own power lines with crayons on a map, similar to Empire Builder, was too much work.
It took several years before I tried the streamlined version called Power Grid, but I’m glad I gave it a second chance.
Show 048: SpaceMonger
Show date: 09/26/06
Length: 3:48
Computer hard disk real estate is pretty cheap nowadays, but eventually you do need to clean it.
On my PC I use a utility called SpaceMonger by Sean Werkema (Sixty-Five Software).
I bought the Version 2.1, but Version 1.4 is still available for free.
Show 047: Digital Cameras
Show date: 09/19/06
Length: 6:00
Digital cameras make so much sense: only print the pictures you want, immediately get rid of the ones you don’t want, and features keep getting added while the cameras keep getting smaller.
I’ve owned a Kodak DC 25, a Fuji MX-1200, a Toshiba PDR M-81, and my newest digital camera is a Casio Z600.
Show 046: Spurl.net
Show date: 09/12/06
Length: 3:12
Social bookmarking websites such as del.icio.us and Spurl.net help you keep track of your internet browser bookmarks across all of the computers you use.
Did I mention that these sites are free?
Show 045: TrueCrypt

Length: 3:27
One more tool in the fight against identity theft is encryption.
TrueCrypt is a program that builds encrypted containers for storing files, and is available for both PC’s and Linux boxes.

Read about Saint Petersburg on the BoardGameGeek.
Show 043: Cell Phones
Show date: 08/22/06
Length: 4:26
Ubiquitous. Annoying, in the hands of some. Extremely effective at times.
Cell phones are, especially in an emergency, the perfect accessory for modern living, and that makes me Practically Happy.
Currently, my requirements are for very few minutes. Virgin Mobile has the best plan for my wife and I — it saves us over $450 per year compared to what we were paying.
Show 042: Anderson Ultimate Bed
Show Date: 08/15/06
Length: 03:11
Space is at a premium in my house. A king-sized bed was out of the question for some time, until I discovered how to get some dresser space from an unusual place.
The Anderson Ultimate Bed makes dresser space beneath the bed, and that makes me Practically Happy.
The Ultimate Bed at Anderson Manufacturing Company.
Show 041: Blogs
Show Date: 08/08/06
Length: 05:19
Blogs are a versatile communication method that can cover a wide scope of topics and uses.
My first blog was set up using Blogger.com, which is now owned by Google. It's free, whether you use their servers or own you for hosting.
I set up a blog for Acorn Toastmasters using MovableType. If I had to do it now, I'd used TypePad. Both of these are made by SixApart.
My favorite blogging software is WordPress. You can get the software to set up on your own server for free from: Get WordPress.

Show 040: Slurpee
Show Date: 08/02/06
Length: 03:14
Summer is hot. Slurpees are cold. Even though Slurpees are good any day of the year, summer is where they really hit the spot.
An inexpensive luxury.
Show 039: Ticket To Ride (game)
Show Date: 07/25/06
Length: 04:32
Ticket To Ride by Days of Wonder is currently my favorite train game. It's fast, and it forces you to make decisions about what routes you feel that you can realistically complete, as well as how long do you wait before starting to lay track.
You don't want to lay track early and tip your hand, but yet you don't want to get shut out of cities you need to get to. A nice balance.
Read more about it in the Wikipedia, or at the BoardGameGeek, or the Days of Wonder website.
You can buy it from Boulder Games.
Show 038: USB Flash Drives
Show Date: 07/18/06
Length: 05:19
Portable storage has gotten smaller in size but larger in space, as well as cheaper.
My history of portable computer storage started with cassette tapes, 5 1/4" diskettes, then 3 1/2" diskettes, then CDs, and on to DVDs. Now, with USB Flash Drives, storage is small but carries a lot for a small price.
Show 037: Flowtron Leaf Eater mulcher
Show Date: 07/11/06
Length: 05:08
Recycling for me includes taking care of natural materials like grass clippings and leaves. A compost pile fits the bill, but getting grass and leaves into small pieces is the challenge.
The Flowtron Leaf Eater mulcher does a great job mulching the grass clippings and leaves into small pieces, and it makes me Practically Happy.
Here is the Leaf Eater at the Flowtron website.
I bought mine from Amazon.com (Flowtron Leaf Mulcher).
Show 036: MapQuest
Show Date: 07/04/06
Length: 03:27
In the old days, like 11 years ago, you got directions from a paper map or by using a Trip-Tik from the American Automobile Association.
Today, you can get personalized instructions, turn by turn, mile for mile from free on-line mapping services such as MapBlast and MapQuest. Getting these personalized directions make me Practically Happy.
My favorite service is MapQuest.com

I've always liked gadgets, but I've found that my Personal Digital Assistant is now indispensible to me.

Show 022 Comments:
From grinner
I have been concerned about credit card use on the internet for a long time. I finally got a card with a $500 limit. It was an MBNA card through a stock broker. I also found out about the one time use capability and have used it for all of my on-line purchases.
The main problem I have is with vendors who require you to enter your credit card information before you get a total cost. Usually you can pretty much determine a total but shipping and handling are not always available until you get the the final page. Amazon was one site that had this 'feature'. I ended up buying the same product from the company Amazon was brokering for.
Anyone else (of the millions who sign on here) have any thoughts this issue?
Response from PracticallyHappy
The MBNA credit card ShopSafe allows you to adjust the limit of the one-time use credit card.
So you generate the number, go through the vendors screens (getting the final cost with shipping), then you adjust the one-time use credit card number to the "new" total.
A bit more work, but it does work.
Vendors need to get smarter or they might find that they the cause of the abandoned shopping carts.

This was a bit longish. TBH, I havn't listened to it yet, partially due to the length. But it shows why you are a good game player.
You cheat.

My favorite genre is German games. Here's a definition and more:
Wikipedia German (board)game definition
The best known American company that republishes German/Euro games in English is Rio Grande Games. They don't sell directly to the public, they sell only to distributors for more exposure.
I typically purchase my boardgames from mail order companies. The three that I've used the most in the past year (in order of most purchases to least) are Boulder Games, Fun Again Games, and Fair Play Games.
Probably the best place to get information about any game is the BoardGame Geek website. It has descriptions, photos, strategy tips, variants and fun articles on individual games.

Great product. Abhorrent company attitude.

From Bill
I was really excited to read about this product — ACID music!
I have written quite a number of songs over the years, but they were simply lyrics sung to a tune. My impression, from reading the package of an ACID music display at best buy, is that I could take my recorded lyrics, and blend them with guitar riff, base, drum and keyboard after developing some proficiency with the software. This is incredibly cool! Now, just to find the time to play with this!
I'm one of the singers with a "rock band" leading our church's "ultracontemporary" worship service. I submitted a couple of songs to our band leader, but the arrangement consisted of me singing in a wav file. How lame is that?

I like to think I am practically happy. Black jeans make me happy. Because I can wear them to work, and my boss doesn't realize I'm wearing jeans.

Thanks for listening alkahestsearch.
It sounds like you are being practically happy — the cliche is that it's the little things in life that make you happy, and I agree with that.
It's even sweeter when there is irony involved (No jeans rule but black jeans are not seen as jeans).

Others might be able to assist, but the responsibility lies with you.

From Amy S.
Interesting thoughts, Jim!
I agree; we really are responsible for our own happiness, but not many people stop to realize that.
I have been a student of Buddhism for many years and that is exactly what the Buddha taught; all material things are temporary anyways, even life is temporary, so Be Happy with the moment and stop wanting things and that is the (simplified) key to "enlightment" or in this podcast's format; happiness.
Keep up the good work. I will be listening and even posting occasionally.
Amy
Response from PracticallyHappy
Glad to have you as a listener Amy.
Looking for the positive in a situation is sometimes a challenge, but it's really the only way to try for happiness more often.
Another facet of the Buddhist view that life is temporal is the saying "This too shall pass." That goes for bad periods as well as good periods. Enjoy the good ones while you are in them, and while in the bad ones realize that they will change, eventually.
From Bill
Practically Happy,
This is way overdue, I have been listening to several of the podcasts and have found some very good ideas. I'll try to respond to those in the appropriate show related forum.
Regarding your first show:
I remembered the following phrase from somewhere:
"Most people are about as happy as they set their minds to be".
I found, in a recent Web search that this statement is attributed to Abraham Lincoln.
I think he's right, and I think this goes along with what you're saying.
One thing from this show I wanted to reply to was your comment that "we are all going to die and we will all die alone". As a Christian, I disagree with the second part of the statement. I believe that the Lord Jesus is with me and will always be with me, regardless of how alone I appear to be or how alone I might feel.
Further, I think that happiness "techniques" might increase my sense of contentment for a time, but without God filling the Christ shaped hole in the center of my life, true joy and contentment will forever elude me.
Response from PracticallyHappy
I'm glad that you've found that Christianity (and Jesus) makes you practically happy, Bill.
The Practically Happy podcast is not techniques per se, just as Christianity is not a technique that makes believers practically happy. It's about things that I've found that make me practically happy, and a little thinking as to why.
Thanks for listening.
