 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, July 23, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 7M Jerry Hinkle Program Debut a Hit Well, the reviews are in, and two out of three people like The Jerry Hinkle Program. Well, it's not for everybody! It's already spawned a few imitators. The Professor from Dakota War College did an 8 second test pattern, and our good friend, The Watcher from SD Blogwatch played what sounded like either a 45 rpm record or possibly his own voice singing a nice little country tune (Look out Tim McGraw). Of course this was made possible from the good people at Audblog Listenlabs, a division of Google, the best internet company in the world. It's hoped that video blogging is not too far behind. There is also a thing called podcasting. We don't know what that is, but any and all South Dakota podcasters are welcome to enlighten all of us here at the Holabird Advocate. We can't imagine that it could be better than Audblog, but you never know. The Holabird Advocate Audblog experiments started in December of 2002. We were given a free minute to try it out, so we reported when the Bill Janklow verdict came in. Earlier this year, when Holabird Advocate Publisher Jerry Hinkle got a cellphone, Audblog plans followed. We did our first "Good Morning Holabird" at the Ponderosa Pines Old Age Assistance Home with a short interview of E.E. Hinkle on May 6 of this year. We also did remote blogcasts from Mitchell during Mothers Day weekend. We even did a "Saturday Night Live". This could be the start of something big. It will sure be interesting to see where this audio blogger thing leads. Ponderosa Quiets Down After Emorymas The day after Emorymas as brought a spirit of calm on the South Dakota Prairie. Some wondered if the newly 103 year old E.E. Hinkle would ever stay in bed. First he was up then he was down. Anna-Nicole Smiths last husband was only 89, and he couldn't get out of bed for the last year of his life (But then he didn't want to either. Would you, Bub?) The problem was a little too much iced tea. The Hinkle family won't make that mistake again. Still, it's nice to see the old boy move under his own power at such a ripe old age. We should all do as well no matter what age we reach. Photos are still being developed. Hopefully when all is said and done, we'll have something to show. Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle can't run the scanner because it hates him. Too bad BOJ wasn't here. He found some nice photos of Representative Stephanie Herseth in a couple of cheerleading costumes. Had he been here, we may have had Representative Herseth sitting of E.E.'s lap or vice versa. Then Jerry's Christmas cards would set. Power Failure Heats Things Up It got up to a slightly warm 103.5 at the Ponderosa today. Air conditioners all over the Holabird area were running so hot that the electricity was off for a half hour. There were even reports that the windmills in the Highmore area stopped turning. At least it didn't get up to 113 like some had said.
