Adam Curry Mobile Studio Setup, New Mexico Travel
Adam Curry reports from a mobile studio in New Mexico while relocating from California to Austin, Texas. The journey included a stop in Palm Springs and a difficult move involving over 300 boxes. Technical challenges arose due to a forgotten USB hub and a failing Wi-Fi connection, forcing the broadcast to continue over a tethered 3G iPhone connection.
Cash Transaction Limits, US Border Patrol Checkpoints
New Italian regulations limit cash transactions to 2,500 euros to combat tax evasion, a trend the hosts suggest is coming to the United States. Adam Curry describes encountering a high-tech Border Patrol checkpoint 150 miles from the Mexican border near White Sands, New Mexico. The experience involved biometric surveillance and aggressive questioning regarding nationality and residency papers.
White Sands National Monument, Gypsum Dunes
Adam Curry describes visiting the White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, which consists of 275 square miles of pure gypsum. The dunes resemble snow and are the largest of their kind in the world. The hosts discuss the geological origins of the gypsum and the recreational activities available at the site, such as sledding.
Occupy Wall Street Deterioration, Michael Moore Wealth
The Occupy Wall Street movement faces police evictions across the country. The hosts discuss the irony of Michael Moore, a wealthy member of the "1 percent," positioning himself as a leader of the movement while selling books for profit. They also note the existence of a small "Occupy White Sands" protest in New Mexico.
