Please Stand By

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

I am about to upgrade Blogs.4Bauer to the latest edition of WordPress. It’s a long overdue upgrade. I’ll probably break something in the process. Lets hope this goes quickly and easily.

UPDATE: That wasn’t too bad. Please let me know if anything is broken. Thanks.

An Apology

Monday, September 24th, 2007

If I have ever said a negative word about Milo, aka Eric Balfour, I apologize. I take it back. I bow my head humbly in shame.

In fact, Milo is my new hero.

This is Mrs. Balfour — Moon Bloodgood.

Moon Bloodgood

Milo, I salute you!

The Cast Keeps Growing

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Two new cast members have been confirmed for Season 7.

Jeffrey Nordling, who co-starred on “Dirt” this year, has joined the cast of Fox’s “24″ as an FBI agent.

Also joining the real-time thriller is John Billingsley (ABC’s “The Nine”), whose character details are being kept under wraps.

It is good to see that progress is being made. It is also good to get up early on a Friday morning and beat AmyV to the punch. ;-D

The People Have Spoken

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

52% of those voting in the most recent poll have asked for a Chloe based theme.

Blogs.4Bauer, as always, comes through. Not with a Chloe theme, but with two!

One note on the “Hot Dark Chloe” theme. I still have to do some tweaking to the css code to get the colors just right, but it should be viewable. Being color blind can be a pain sometimes.

Enjoy.

Radio4Bauer – Take II

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

Call DammitIt’s time once again for another exciting edition of Radio4Bauer. While we only had 2 live listeners to the first broadcast, over 50 of you have listened to at least part of the archived podcast. Thanks!

We’ll be talking about the continuing delay of Season 7, asking “Are You Smarter Than Kim Bauer”, and discussing current events in the WWJBD segment. Best of all you can participate. The call in number is (646) 716-8404. The show will air this afternoon at 6:30pm Eastern Time. Click on the image or here to listen live. We hope you’ll tune in.

NOTE: You have to refresh the page at 6:30 to see the “Listen Live” Button.

UPDATE
: I think the show went great (aside from the host trying to stifle the effects of a nasty sinus thing). We had (according to BlogTalkRadio’s stats) twice as many live listeners as we did for the first show. Ok, so it’s only 4, but double is double. The new archived podcast should be showing up at the top of the site very shortly.

The great thing was having two great guests to talk with. Scully called in and we talked about the delays that season 7 is facing. She also was our first contestant and first winner in the “Are You Smarter Than Kim Bauer” portion of the show! (More on that later).

Frank (Political Vindication) called in and we had a great conversation about where we’ve been and where we’re heading on 24.

Listen to the archive. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Vote, Dammit

Radio4Bauer

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Call DammitThe second edition of Radio4Bauer will be on the air Saturday August 18th at 6:30pm Eastern. Not only will be engaging in our favorite past-time (well, our other favorite past-time) — mindless speculation and ruthless review, but we’re kicking around some other ideas that we hope will encourage you to listen and call in.

Some show ideas that have been thrown out:

  • The Tony A. Memorial Speedball Round section where the host fires off questions to another B4B contributor.
  • “Are you smarter than Kim Bauer” where a caller competes for. . . well, we’ve got nothin, but there’s always pride.
  • “WWJBD” where we talk about current events and how Jack would handle them.

Your suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. Tell your friends (those of you that have friends), and bloggers let your readers know. I’ll have more here through out the week.

New Poll About a New Theme

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

I’ve put up a new poll asking, “What 24 Character Would You Like To See Made Into a Theme?” Please vote and discuss it in the Forum.

That’s Gonna Leave A Mark

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

While Jack Bauer vs. Chuck Norris was a closely decided match, this Google Fight was a lopsided slaughter.

Kim vs. Cougar Google Fight

Not a big surprise, but . . . OUCH!

Let Your Imagination Run Wild

If you can keep your last meal in that is.

After reading the last post I was playing around with Paint Shop Pro:

CTU Is Going Green Too

Monday, August 6th, 2007

New CTU LogoSome of the most noticeable green changes in season 7 of 24 will be seen at CTU. Those changes start with the new CTC logo pictured here. You can also expect Jack to channel Jeff Goldblum’s character from ID4, but in a much more menacing whisper. Perhaps something like this:

Do you have any idea how long those take to decompose.

New CTU UniformAnd speaking of decomposition, the crack security staff at CTU (aka, red shirts) will be getting new uniforms. Now, the shelf life of the average red shirt is rather short, so the new uniforms will carry the reminder that even red shirts can be “Green“.

It’s people!

Radio4Bauer – On The Air!

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

Radio4Bauer!You’ve watched the show. You’ve read the blog. Now it’s time to listen to Radio4Bauer. But you don’t have to just listen. You can call in and contribute your priceless insights (OK, we’re expecting more snark than insight, but you get the idea).

The call in number is: (646) 716-8404

We light the fuse on this stick of dynamite at 6:30pm eastern time today. Tell your friends!

Today’s topic: Crapapalooza — AKA: Season 6 and whatever else we feel like talking about. Click on the Radio4Baur image to listen live.

UPDATE: The show went off with all the perfection of a day in the life of Jack Bauer. Well, I mean there weren’t any terrorists or nukes or anything, just a 3 year old telling me “be quiet” and a dog barking at who knows what. I’ve added the embedded version of the show at the top of the page. It’s right next to the Wiki link. Enjoy. See you next show.

More Fun With The Simpsons

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

While we are all in the long wait for the start of Season 7, and while I wait for someone to suggest a time for the first Radio4Bauer program, let’s have some more fun with 24 in Springfield.

Bill Buchannen and Me

Bill is looking for Jack (who has gone rogue again), The melted corpses of Itchy and Scratchy, his dignity after being fired by his wife last season, and the hot VP adviser (since Karen hasn’t given it up since the first Bush administration), not necessarily in that order.

This isn’t a job he can do alone. Enlist the help of his predecessor? Nope, piloted a nuke into the desert. Hmmm, how about Curtis? Whoops, Jack shot him. Tony? He was always reliable. Well, at least when he was really alive. What’s the unemployed Director of CTU to do?

Call on the crew at Blogs4Bauer, of course!

Who is that handsome devil? ;-)

Add Your Avatar

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

Take a look on the comments (I’ll add one to this post after I write it) and you’ll see avatars by the commenter’s name. You can now add your own avatar when you add a comment. Just remember, you can’t all be Jack and keep it safe for work. Other than that — have fun.

UPDATE: The plugin I’m using is very tempremental. It only accepts jpg files, and you have to enter something in all three fields (name, email, and url).
