Shownotes:
I got a lot of questions about the Federal Reserve vault that we talked briefly about in Brief #485. This is the rest of the story. We met this guy backing something called Woopra. Needless to say, we fell in love with Woopra, and we adopted the guy behind it, John P., as kind of a dad. John P. wrote the first version of CSS. We didn’t know that when we adopted him. We just thought he was kind of smart and pretty cool. John P. retired around the age of 30, and then he went back to work for Layered Tech as the CMO. In that capacity, he made it possible for us to bring cameras underneath Dallas to get some footage of the former Federal Reserve Safe.

Really lovely filmed.
While i agree about macworld the segment felt like a “please come to macworld” – do you think the numbers are gonna be really down this year?
I look forward to the canon stuff!

Nice to know a bit of the unseen inside the very city in which I reside.

lmao @ batwomany!
That was pretty sweet. I wonder Why you don’t see buildings or houses these days built with massive underground federal reserve safes any more. Bat caves, or underground lairs should be standard in all houses!

I’ve been told that Woopra made a lot of things possible in terms of pod-casting and CSS allowed developers to remove a lot of “weight” out of HTML documents by eliminating the need to “embed” attributes to elements and giving developers the ability to change the appearance of entire directories, and servers’ worth of documents and indices. ^..^~

Cali, I receive your geekbriefs through Tivo and the last Episode that we recieved was #473. Whats the deal, did you not like Netflix streaming over Tivo :)

I receive my geekbrief over TiVo, but over the holidays the TiVo users quit receiving your show after episode #473. What happened?
P.S. the NetFlix implementation over TiVo is very nice. There are two things that need fix:
1) The ability to push 1 to sort between date and alphabetical order of the movies or shows.
2) Quantity and Quality of content

If you are interested in some tremendous underground facilities, make sure you contact the Dept of Defense for tours of NORAD in Cheyenne Mt, Colorado, the Strategic Command control bunker in Omaha, NE, and the National Military Command Center in the Pentagon. All are worth the visit, and all have unclassified tours available.
If you play your cards right, you might even get to visit the “war room” at the White House.
I’ve been to all of them, and they are really spectacular.
I really enjoy watching your show.

That is awesome ! I don’t know how I missed this video when I left my comments on the other show. Sorry about that.
I love seeing the neat secrets about Dallas. Thanks for showing us…
Keep up the good work.

Where’s the gold NOW? Sold? Relocated?
January 7th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Heh, why do you think the dollar is collapsing? The Fed. Reserve haven’t let anyone verify the gold reserves for decades. The £ is also failing, and where is all that gold? Sold off in bulk when gold was at the lowest it has ever been – partly pushed even lower because Gordon the Moron told the world before he did it!

The Dallas Federal Reserver banked is relocated a couple of blocks from the old facility, as is all the GOLD
