Ballmer ousts Microsoft server chief Muglia
With Muglia gone, who will succeed Ballmer?
Microsoft loses three more cloud-savvy heavy hitters
Microsoft names new server and tools president
By Woody Leonhard, Columnist, InfoWorld |
Geeks vs. suits: Microsoft's executive revolving door keeps spinning
In the latest round of Microsoft management shake-ups, Bob Muglia's replacement comes as a surprise to many
Some days, I just don't get it.
Last month I wrote about the impending departure of Bob Muglia as president of Microsoft's Server and Tools Business (STB). When Muglia leaves this summer, he'll be going out at the top of a very difficult game: STB covers both the Microsoft Server crown jewels and the Azure cloud future, as well as SQL Server and Visual Studio. And it's making a ton of money -- more than $15 billion a year.
Yesterday CEO Steve Ballmer announced he was replacing Muglia with Satya Nadella. In the same email he announced the (highly unexpected) departure of Amitabh Srivastava. That move strikes me as bizarre in a multitude of ways.
Although Nadella obviously has talent beyond the search engine, he is known as "Mr. Bing" to many in and around Redmond in his capacity as senior vice president in charge of engineering for the Online Services Division, where Bing is the stellar performer. Ballmer's assessment: "In his role in the Online Services Division, [Nadella] led the overall R&D efforts for some of the largest online services and drove the technical vision and strategy for several important milestones, including the critical launch of Bing, new releases of MSN, Yahoo integration across Bing and AdCenter, and much more."
Like I said, Mr. Bing.
Two years ago, Ballmer passed over Nadella (who has an M.S. in computer science and an MBA) and named Qi Lu president of the Online Services Division. Two years later, Nadella is tapped to lead a much, much larger and more profitable division.
Now consider the pedigree of the departing Srivastava, who is senior vice president of Server and Cloud, which is Muglia's (and STB's) largest and most important component. For the past two years Srivastava has been in charge of both Windows Server and Azure.
More than that, though, Srivastava came to lead the Server and Azure effort when Ballmer combined the Windows Server and Azure organizations two years ago. Srivastava's roots are in Azure -- the future of STB. He's a Microsoft Distinguished Engineer, with a legend that dates back to the days of Brian Valentine and Jim Allchin and the rescue of Longhorn. He worked with Ray Ozzie on Project Red Dog, which became Azure. He's been living in the cloud since 2006. He's been leading Muglia's No. 1 division for the past two years.
And he lost out to Mr. Bing.
Bloomberg BusinessWeek, quoting unnamed sources, claims that Ballmer is in the process of a management shake-up "aimed at adding senior product executives with an engineering background." That may be the intent, but the execution speaks differently.
In the ongoing battle between the geeks and the suits -- er, the executives with a technical background (typified by chairman Bill Gates) and those with a business/management background (Ballmer's gene pool) -- it seems to me two very senior techies are on their way out, replaced by a guy with stellar Yahoo integration skills.
I just don't get it.

Using M&A to reach the Future of HR
Written by: Tom Joseph, Kyle Forrest and Blair Moldoff
Harry's right—HR can and should play a pivotal role in helping the organization realize value from M&A activity.
Business and HR leaders continue to face massive disruption across industries, sectors, and within the workforce, and now more than ever many leaders are struggling to create a plan to determine the future of their business and navigate each disruption successfully.
While facing disruption is becoming the norm for organizations, disruption is magnified during a merger, acquisition, or divestiture. With the enormous change and additional work that an M&A transaction brings to a company and the HR function, it is often daunting to plan for months into the future, let alone years. As a result, topics such as the Future of Work are often pushed down the road, in the hope that future trends will be addressed once the new company has stabilized.
Unfortunately, this approach fails to recognize how M&A activity can be a key enabler of the shift to the future. HR M&A groups can capture momentum by bringing the right Focus to a transaction; building a fit-for-purpose Lens through which HR delivers services; developing a Mindset that the workforce understands and is bought into; and providing the right set of Enablers to support the workforce. And their involvement can carry through each critical phase of the deal, from the run-up to Day 1 to post-close integration.
Strategy/Target Screening
The initial strategy and target screening phases of M&A work are generally the least structured, and often don't involve HR leaders at all. Potential acquisitions or divestitures are explored through potential revenue or cost synergies, or even a casual CEO conversation.
HR functions are already working to be more agile, operate more strategically, and better provide valuable insights to the business—a true high-impact operating model. This applies in potential M&A environments as well. By adjusting the lens in which they view M&A, HR leaders can actively insert themselves into those conversations, enabling smoother transactions and voicing alternative perspectives in the C-suite.
By forming agile M&A "tiger teams" composed of a diverse group of experienced, motivated personnel interested in tackling business initiatives, HR can provide strategic input to and integrate thoroughly with the business. This will shape a culture of trust, inclusion, and accountability within leadership so that HR can be viewed as an essential voice in the screening process, rather than a compliance and control group to pull in post-announcement.
During diligence, traditional areas of focus within the HR function are tangible financial assets such as pensions, benefits, and overall headcount. By looking at simple dollar values of this limited scope, HR leaders can miss the bigger picture of how a target can jumpstart a transformation through enablers that are currently in use.
In the Future of HR, organizations should focus on a unified engagement platform centered on productivity: HR technology must be engaging, accessible, automated, and adaptable. By highlighting the target's use of automated process, cognitive solutions, and social platforms, leaders can uncover additional deal value and incorporate the knowledge of the target's technology landscape into planning for which technology solutions to integrate for Day 1 and beyond.
Transaction Execution
In an increasingly digital environment, it is essential for any company to shift from simply "doing digital" activities to truly "being" a digital organization. The future of enterprise is distinctly tied to certain traits and behaviors, or Digital DNA, that digitally-native companies inherently possess.
For HR leaders to inorganically embed these traits in a company can seem daunting, but even the most static and traditional organizations often take on many of these characteristics during an M&A transaction. Concepts such as agility, intentional collaboration, and constant disruption are all inherent in an M&A environment.
HR should take advantage of this unique opportunity and help instill a digital mindsetthat remains after Day 1. Encouraging behaviors that support collaboration and agility outside of M&A related activities will shift the enterprise toward more sustainable future state.
Post-close Integration/Divestiture
After the transaction closes, there is often a sigh of relief, shortly followed by the realization that now the real work has to begin. To quickly capture the value as two organizations merge together (or a new entity is officially separate from its previous parent company), there should be a renewed focus on workforce experience and satisfaction.
If new employees are not actively engaged and satisfied with their work, productivity often slips, leaving unrealized value even as business models are combined and optimized. As such, HR should listen to employees—understand what went well during the transaction, what components of their organization they love, and what they wouldn't mind parting with.
Further, HR should empathize and co-create with the workforce as the new organization develops. Rather than changes happening "to" them, workers should feel the transformation of the company is "by" them. By highlighting that leaders and the rest of the organization are collaborating to drive the future of the company together, the business can win buy-in from employees and increase productivity gains.
Now more than ever, HR is being asked to take the lead on behalf of the enterprise in making shifts and changes to thrive amid constant disruption. M&A environments can provide an ideal opportunity to do so.
Back in his office, Harry thinks about the upcoming acquisition. He sees the potential to use it to not only elevate HR's role in the business but also shift the business itself toward a more fluid, agile way of working. Excited by the possibilities, he starts mapping out his ideas to share with his BU VP.

The bowl cut was popularized in the 1960s and 1970s, but has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, especially among young people.

However, in an interview with W Magazine in 2019, Eilish mentioned that she likes to use a face wash from the brand CeraVe, and a moisturizer from the brand Neutrogena.

Overall, it seems that she prefers to use simple, affordable, and widely available skincare products, and she's more focused on keeping her skin clean and moisturized.

So it can be assumed that ice cream might be her favorite dessert, and she might enjoy different flavors of it.
It's not a commonly shared piece of information and might not be something she publicly shares or even has an opinion on.

Kids In Glass Houses Live Review From Glasgow Garage
Welsh rockers Kids in Glass Houses were last on the road in 2011 after the release of last album "In Gold Blood". Two years later and the Welsh lads are back with a bang with the release of new album "Peace" introducing a new sound their style whilst staying true to themselves and the fans.
Opening with their new album's title track, "Peace", Kids in Glass Houses certainly awakened the crowd giving them a taster of the set to come as well as setting the tone of the band's musical direction. As "Peace" was only released mid-way through the tour, the show did not contain a vast amount of songs from the new album but a vivid collection of crowd pleasers from the back catalogue of fan favourite singles.
Among the highlights of the night were singles such as "Set Me Free" (Peace) which particularly stood out in the set as fans screamed the lyrics back at frontman Aled Phillips and jumped in unison with him as he ran and jumped along the stage, occasionally throwing himself into the front row of the crowd throughout the song. It was however older anthems such as "The Best is yet to Come", "Matters at All" (Dirt 2010) and "Give me What I Want" (Smart Casual 2008) that were the standout moments of the set. Every member of the venue cheered and sang every word as the show drew to a close, ending with "Matters at All".
With this performance Kids In Glass Houses showed that there is still plenty to come from them and armed with their new album Peace they will hopefully move on to bigger and better things. Peace is out now on Transmission Recordings. You can also follow Kids In Glass Houses on Twitter at @KIGHOfficial.

A 90 minute ferry ride away from Helsinki sits the Estonian capital where even the Finns go to have fun. (Or so a tour guide told us, but judging from the list of things to do in Helsinki I don't think she was wrong). After disembarking at the pier, beaching Tallinn's rough, industrial exterior immediately gives way to the rustic and quaint Old Town, where one could easily spend several days getting lost in its winding cobblestone streets full of specialty shops, cafés and ancient churches. We only had the better part of an afternoon, so we tried to make the most of it.
For 2 euros, St. Olaf's Church provides a bird's eye view of Old Town from the top of its immense spire, which at one point was the tallest in the world. The view from up top is well worth the price of admission, but the climb up the uneven stone hewn steps is not to be underestimated; let's just say it reminded us of how out of shape we are after a month of making and tasting pastries.
Afterward we rewarded ourselves at the nearby Beer House's happy hour, where one can find 0.5 L portions of select drafts for 3 euros and generous plates of German delicacies for 8-12. Tasty, but it's a good thing I'm not vegetarian any more. Just a few steps down the road is the town square, whose market makes for good souvenir shopping.
Following some more aimless wandering we made our way over to the Hotel Viru, which houses the world's first and only KGB museum. I'm not usually much of a museum person (looking at old things tends to lose its novelty real fast), but this was easily the best guided tour I've ever been on. I mean, come on, it's the KGB! How often do you get a chance to look at some of the original equipment they used to spy on people?
On a more serious note, though, having been indoctrinated via an American public education that communism is bad, it was fascinating to get a more nuanced perspective on what life was like under Soviet rule. Our guide, an Estonian native, didn't leave us with any doubt that her country is quite happy being independent, but she did have some pretty incredible anecdotes about how things were before independence.
Bottom line: When in Scandinavia, go to Tallinn.

Road through Time is an Indies Prize Finalist!
Saturday Photo: When Will the Winter End?
Saturday Photo: Marmalade from Ornamental Oranges!
Last Sunday Jeanne, Thomas and I harvested the bumper crop of little oranges that our ornamental orange tree had this year. There must have been 40-50 (I forgot to count.) We planted several in three little pots; one for each of them, and one for little Louis who didn't get the idea but will probably be old enough to be pleased to have a little tree whenever the seeds germinate.
Then I made marmalade with a little help from them, although they wanted to go out to play in the snow that remained. The result was pretty good, if not enormous in quantity!
The second photo is of the tree at its most abundant.
Great way to start a Saturday: An email announcing that Road through Time: The Story of Humanity on the Move (University of Regina Press) has been short-listed for the 2017 Indies Book of the Year Award in the History category!
Hosted by Foreword Reviews, these awards highlight the best books from university and indie publishers across the U.S. and Canada and were chosen from more than 2000 entries across 68 genres. The winners will be announced June 15, 2018. Got my fingers crossed!
The photo, by the way, is of one of the many roads I traveled researching the book, the new highway across the Andes from Peru to Brazil. That's the bus we traveled on from Cuzco to Rio Branco.
The little deer have been out in the cold all winter, part of a Christmas installation, I think. But right now even they must be wondering when the winter will be over.
Spring came last week, we're told. Certainly the sun is higher in the sky. Yet the temperatures around here don't feel like the season has changed.
Spring doesn't come until the end of next week, but the sun is already quite high in the sky.
We're back in the deep freeze for a few days, with fresh snow on the ground, but the spring light is blinding.
Of course, if you look at the progress of the sun through the year, it currently is at the point it is near the end of September, which frequently is still summer-like.
So for the moment, it's blue skies, nothing but blue skies.
Goal: get a draft done by the end of April. Probability? Well, I've never missed a deadline yet.
Saturday Photo: Borderline Behaviour, Why Places That Should Be Alike Aren't.
It looks like we've got a title for my book about pairs of places that have much in common, but diverge in significant ways: Borderline Behaviour, Why Places That Should Be Alike Aren't. The University of Regina Press will be bringing it out in the run-up to the 2020 US presidential elections, since one of the ten pairs of places I compare is the US and Canada.
Originally I had called it Unidentical Twins: Why Places That Should Alike Aren't Alike, but Bruce Walsh, the wizard who runs the shop, said that bookstores would shelve it with parenting books, and that's not at all what it was about. I toyed with Different: Why Places That Should Alike Aren't Alike, but this week Sean Prpick, who does acquisitions, came up with this new one.
The other pairs of places I'll be looking at are: the (formerly) two Vietnams; Tunisia and Algeria; the Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu; Brazil and Spanish-speaking South America; Haiti and the Dominican Republic; Burundi and Rwanda; Scotland and Ireland; Vermont and New Hampshire; and Alberta and Saskatchewan. The photo is a Wikipedia shot of Hai Van Pass which is the natural divide between north and south Vietnam, and near where the country was split after the French colonial war.

Episode 8: Monsters You Never Heard Of
Episode 8by Johnny Compton12 months ago
There are likely many more creatures, cryptids and fearsome critters that you're unaware of than there are ones you're familiar with. In fact, even the devils you think you know may be more unknown to you than you realize. And it's only natural to fear the unknown, especially when the unknown is unnatural.
Interestingly, some legendary creatures were created to either explain something formerly unexplained. In Japanese mythology, for instance, the Namazu is an enormous catfish responsible for earthquakes. From the Phillippines we get the Bakunawa, a serpentine dragon responsible for eclipses.
Others are blamed for more rudimentary phenomena. Repeated, "mysterious" disappearances, for instance. If enough people go missing in a certain section of the woods for instance, or by a body of water, a monster is often conjured as the culprit in the local collective consciousness. That's how you end up with assorted "water horse" legends, from the braag of Northumbria, to the better-known kelpie, to the Welsh Ceffyl Dŵr, all of which are known to lure unsuspecting riders to untimely deaths by bucking or dragging them down into bodies of water, or in the case of the Welsh monster, flying the rider into the sky before pitching them off to fall to their doom.
As important and relevant as more popular monsters such as vampires and zombies can be as fictional representations of real life fears, local lore remains fertile ground for unique and surprising stories. Even the aforementioned vampires and zombies can receive a welcome makeover you focus on the different types that are particular to certain regions.
I this episode I talk about some of my favorite regional, fear-inducing monsters. Ones introduced to me many years ago by the book Monsters You Never Heard Of, by Daniel Cohen. Ones that are alleged to live in my city. And one born from the ripe imagination of someone who wrote teleplays for golden age horror radio.
The opening theme for Healthy Fears: "Dark Game Background Loop" by Claudiu D. Moga, licensed through Envato.
The closing theme for Healthy Fears: "Hitchcock Thriller" by JBlanks, licensed through Envato.
Full Episode Script
In 1980, Daniel Cohen, prolific author of eerie lore for children published Monsters You Never Heard Of. Years later, I would come across this book in my elementary school's library in 2nd grade and it's still probably one of the most formatively influential books I've ever read. When I think of the books that cemented and influenced my inescapable love of the horror genre at a very young age, I think of Stephen King's Night Shift, I think of the anthology Shudders, the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series, and two books by Daniel Cohen, Ghostly Terrors and the aforementioned Monsters You Never Heard Of.
It was in this last book that I found out about things that, these days, might not be so unheard of. Time and the internet have cooperated to shed light on more cryptids and creatures that used to be known largely just to people of a certain location or culture. The Jersey Devil, for instance, the winged, demon-baby of Mother Leeds. Even though it directly inspired the name of an NHL team I don't think most people outside of the New Jersey area–or at least the Tri-State–would have known much if anything about this local legend back around the time Cohen's book was written, or back when I first read it. Since then, however, the Jersey Devil has made several appearances in various works of pop culture, featuring in things ranging from an X-Files episode to an episode of Aaron Mahnke's well-known podcast, Lore.
Another subject of the book was covered in a different podcast recently: Dark Histories dedicated an episode to the Hairy Hands of Dartmoor, which nowadays, like the Jersey Devil, has its own Wikipedia page and no shortage of other pages and videos online devoted to the legend. When I read Cohen's book, however, your chances of being aware of the phantom hands that steered motorists into accidents grew exponentially slimmer the farther away you got from the English county of Devonshire. Unless you came upon a book specifically devoted to little-known local lore that happened to capture that story, it would indeed be something you'd never heard of.
Fearing the unknown can come in many forms and cross over with other fears. Fearing the dark, as I covered in an earlier episode, can be directly tied to the fear of the unknown–fear of what we can't see. You can be afraid of the uncertainty of the future, not knowing what will happen next. In the previous episode I covered fear of trusting someone, and that can be rooted in not knowing exactly what's on their mind and in their heart.
And then there's a somewhat more direct level of the unknown: the monsters, demons, ghouls, ghosts and even gods that, according to lore, tradition and religion of various regions, have been around for a very long time, but escaped our attention.
It may seem silly to be scared of the idea of something existing without our knowledge, but of course, what we don't know can hurt us. We're dealing with that presently: had we known about the potential of the current strand of coronavirus years in advance–and in particular known when and where it would first spread into human beings–we could have had treatments or a vaccine on deck so far ahead of time that current failures to react in a timely and effective manner wouldn't have even been possible. But here we are, yes, in large part due to said failures, but also partly because we didn't know this specific monster was out there.
On the lighter side of things, at least compared to real world pandemics, are the unusual beasts, oddities and evils of lore and other forms of fiction. Beyond the Jersey Devil and the phantom hands of the B3212, Cohen's book introduced me to other creatures Spring-Heeled Jack and The Dover Demon. The former was a very strange, high-jumping, demonic humanoid that terrorized Victorian-Era Brits. The latter was more of a grey alien sort spotted in Dover, Massachusetts in the 1970's. And while I'd read about phantom dogs before, another subject that gets its own chapter in the book, the book was my introduction the mysterious, phantom wildcats–also known as ABC's, or Alien Big Cats–that have been sighted in various parts of the world, but are a significant part of British cryptid folklore.
The unexplained, unknown and unknowable aspects of these creatures captivated me. I had and still have a lot of love for more familiar monsters, vampires and werewolves and zombies, for instance, but even they became more interesting and frightening to me the more I learned about how much I didn't know about them. How much of their history is actually quite recent. Vampires, for instance, are famously susceptible to sunlight, but a growing number of people over the years have become aware that this was a relatively recent invention in the long history of vampire lore. Until the silent film Nosferatu, the idea of vampires bursting into flames in the daylight was not part of classically European vampire mythology. And then of course there are the assorted vampiric creatures from other parts of the world–or within specific cultures of the Western world–who also aren't combustible when exposed to sunlight, and in fact even the European ones also aren't always terribly vulnerable to wooden stakes or garlic.
I have a few different books on old vampire lore and in reading them, one of the things that stands out to me is how much uncertainty and conflicting information there was about them among people who absolutely believed in them. In America alone, during the New England vampire panics, many different solutions were proposed for killing a vampire, or stopping the dead from rising again to afflict others. In Europe as well there was a variety of methods employed to kill a vampire.
Often these methods were combined. A corpse might be exhumed to be turned face down in its grave, and a metal stake was driven through it to pin it down. A body might be decapitated and have its heart removed and have the heart burned, and in at least one case even turned into an elixir meant to ward off future vampire attacks. You couldn't get the impression reading through some of these accounts that people weren't trying all of these things because they believed every single one of them was the right thing to do, but because they hoped any single one of them might be the right thing to do.
Another thing that jumped out at me was how much overlap their seemed to be between vampires, shapeshifters and witches. Even the process of becoming a vampire often wasn't as direct as being bitten by another vampire and having the curse transferred into you. There were rituals involved. You needed to drink blood from a specific type and number of innocents, and you had to drink it at a specific time and place, such as just before the commencement of Mass. So much of it sounds very deliberate and thorough, and also like a bunch of hearsay. Almost as if you're dealing with monsters that, if they were real, would be very efficient killers and very protective of their secrets, thus making it very hard to get any reliable firsthand information from survivors or from vampires themselves.
This is all tied to another element of the unknown, linking it back to the topic of real world diseases again. Vampirism, in certain parts of the world, was a way to explain the spread of certain illnesses that people otherwise had no real information on. They didn't know–and in many cases had no real way of knowing at the time–how these diseases spread so they conjured convoluted and inconsistent mythology to pass as an explanation.
Similarly, werewolf mythology often acted as an explanation for certain murderous, monstrous behavior, as well as animal attacks. And like vampires, they have a relatively recently created weakness; their vulnerability to silver bullets are a largely a more recent invention compared to how long the legend of werewolves has existed. An episode of the Monster Talk podcast titled "A Wolf in the Fold" breaks down the origin of the silver bullet as a weapon against evil rather exhaustively. Ultimately, it's a helpful story device that provided a weakness to an enemy that is otherwise much more difficult to kill. It seems to be a way of lessening the horror of these monsters, making them a little bit more palatable. Establish concrete "rules" for them ranging from how you become one to how you kill one, pick specific pieces of all the rumors and conjectures as the facts–as knowns–because to leave it as an uncertainty or an unknown, even in such small doses, is sometimes thought to be a bit more than the average audience can handle.
But even with these classic creatures with seemingly simple "weaknesses," there are atypical accounts of them that can make them even more menacing than they appear to be in more formulaic stories. Just outside of my current home of San Antonio is a town that houses the high school that I went to. Converse, Texas. It's effectively part of the San Antonio area nowadays and has been for as long as I've lived in the area. But in the mid-19th century or so, San Antonio itself wasn't nearly as populous as it is today, to say nothing of a town like Converse. And that's supposedly the era we'd have to go back to to see the Converse werewolf, an eight-foot tall, muscular, bipedal monster that, according to very little known legend, killed a rancher's son.
I first heard about this werewolf when I was much younger, way back in the tail end of the 90's, right around the time that the Blair Witch Project had come out. I remember this because my very very young, very naïve and very eager self thought, you know, if I just had a camera then me and a few my friends could go find a more remote part of Converse, pretend to get ourselves lost in the woods and make our own mega-hit movie with an astronomic return on investment. Who wouldn't want to see our little movie about the legend of the Converse werewolf. Sure its obscure origin story dated back to 1800's, but that didn't mean it couldn't still be alive. Go ahead and do an internet search of whether or not werewolves die of old age, and have fun reading a lot of uncited, inexpert-yet-confident opinions about a folkloric beast. When you look at some older tales from the time when people believed in such things, it appears that the lifespan of a werewolf wasn't thoroughly explored for a couple of reasons.
One, werewolves in some parts of the world weren't entirely their own entity–lycanthropy was either an offshoot of witchcraft or vampirism, and as I mentioned earlier, vampirism itself was sometimes linked to witchcraft.

Secondly, werewolves often met an abrupt and violent end, or kept their distance and remained a mystery. Either way, their longevity wasn't contemplated nearly as much as the objectives of either killing them or avoiding them.
So maybe I or some other young, intrepid, decidedly amateur filmmaker could have sold audiences on the idea of the Converse werewolf still being out there. And if not, my city has other monsters most people outside its limits have never heard of. The donkey lady, for instance, who has a bridge named after her. Legitimately named after her, if you type Donkey Lady Bridge into your map service you will get a precise location that you can come to. She is, in some grimmer cases figuratively and some lighter cases literally, what her name suggests, a legendary woman who, through very unfortunate circumstances, came to partially resemble a donkey.
In what I think is the more unpleasant version of the tale this "resemblance" is a result of horrific burn injuries she suffered because of a housefire. In a different version of the tale, she was a woman crossing the bridge on her donkey who, for one reason or another, fell over the bridge and died along with the animal, and her spirit came back as a creature that is a fusion of her and her donkey. At least that's how I've heard it. I'm sure others have heard other variations of the tale.
We could probably all agree, however, that the donkey lady is said to occasionally attack cars and people who cross her bridge. She's a familiar type of monster in that way. Monsters that lurk near bridges and attack travelers who cross them seem to have been around for as long as stories have been around. Yet imagine being alone, driving through the city, maybe new in town or a tourist, driving over a short bridge that doesn't look any different from other. And then, out of nowhere, you are under attack. Your vehicle is beaten by a hooved, half-human monster, making noises you can't even begin to place. It pounds and dents your doors, it cracks the windows, it seems like it's trying to get inside and like it's going to get inside. Get to you.
You mash the gas and get the hell off that bridge. And not until you feel certain you're a safe distance from it, minutes later, do you stop to truly try to comprehend what was that thing?
Well, it's just one of countless local, largely unknown monsters said to inhabit Texas, and the country, and this hemisphere, and the whole world. Things that represent our fears associated with new discoveries and exploration, or with simply trying to survive the night in a time when the light of a torch only extended so far, and you couldn't be sure of what might be out there in the dark, just a few feet beyond the dim glow. The planet is full of monsters we've never heard of whose origins range from times long passed to much more recent years.
The internet has become a font of fresh creatures who, one or two hundred years from, presuming humanity isn't mostly myth itself by then, might have their own origins and characteristics muddled and blurred.
Many of these creatures–old favorites or brand new inventions–have largely unknown qualities. Among the devils we think we know but really don't, are previously unheard of or obscure dangers waiting to be awakened or unearthed one way or another. Sometimes simply because the time has come again for them to wake and roam and rampage again. Other times, because someone somewhere opened a door that should have stayed shut, or picked a lock that was there for a long time and for a very good reason, or dug too deep in the wrong place.
Now, every once in a while I like to detour a little farther from the beaten path, down roads less traveled, and what better time to do it than when talking about the unknown and in particular lesser known monsters?
After last week, where my primary subjects were a very recent and popular Netflix series, and then a movie that's underseen, yes, but not significantly unknown, I'm feeling antsy to talk about something that may be a little more off the radar for most people; possibly even most horror fans. And I get to spread the podcast's subject matter beyond the types of media I've already delved into, to boot.
In the summer of 1948, televisions were still very uncommon in the average household, so if you were gathering with the family in the living room to enjoy some external broadcast entertainment, you were listening to the radio. If you wanted to hear something scary, one of your most reliable purveyors of audio horror was Quiet, Please, and in August of that year they released one of their best and most enduring episodes, "The Thing on the Fourble Board."
The first question you might have is not, "What could this thing on the Fourble Board be?" but "What the hell is a Fourble Board?" Well they tell you right there in the story, but in case you haven't heard it is a platform on an oil drilling derrick that is four lengths up from the derrick floor, at least according to the man telling the story. One length is just one length, two lengths is a double, three is a treble, four is a fourble. Hence Fourble Board. One length is twenty feet, so that puts the platform at eighty feet high, which is high enough, thank you kindly, if you're someone like me who doesn't care for unenclosed heights, but it's nothing at all compared to the depths being reached beneath the derrick.
You can likely see where the story is headed based on its title, the oil derrick setup and the explanation of what a Fourble Board is. Early in the story the narrator briefly describes the purpose of a hollow coring drill and paints a picture of the thousands of feet of earth being driven through and brought up through the coring drill, and from there the story sort of heads where you think it's headed, save for a compound swerve saved for the very end of the episode, and the utterly bizarre characteristics of the thing that gets brought up from underground.
Many golden age radio horror stories follow a more traditional and familiar path, and will go out of their way to stick to the path, if that makes sense, even if they have to defy plot or character logic to stay on course, and that's part of what I enjoy about them. Need a couple of old ladies to board a doomed, phantom cruise liner with no other passengers present? Just have them barely question the oddness of it and board anyway. Need a group of friends to be left alone with a man who fits the exact description of an escaped murderer they heard about on an emergency broadcast earlier? Have everyone except one woman out of the group completely forget about the emergency broadcast and said description. In fact, many old time radio horror stories force progression by just having a husband or boyfriend be obstinate, oblivious or stupidly fearless until it's too late, while the wife or girlfriend is observant and cautious but largely ignored until it's too late.
Likewise, many old time radio stories revolve around standard horror villains and plotlines. Ghosts seeking revenge. Vampires or werewolves looking to feed and/or spread their curse. Murderers, criminals or petty nuisances who find themselves victims of karmic comeuppance. Some stories are so predictable that the title tells you everything you need to know, from the personality of the main character to the plot developments to the final twist. "The Jokester" for example might as well be called " The Man Who Cried Wolf." This is not a criticism, per se. Many old time horror radio shows appeal to me because of that throwback simplicity. They're fun little reminders of my entry points into the horror genre.
It can also make for an interesting way to experience an adaptation. I love the radio adaptation of "Three Duma Key" featuring Vincent Price in part because you're still largely forced to imagine much of it, just as it is when the story is on the page, as opposed to getting visuals for it as you would with a television or film adaptation. This is particularly effective for a story about a lighthouse being overrun by a massive legion of ravenous rats that have come to the rock island by way of a ship they had infested. A massive rat infestation is one of those things that's proven too difficult for either practical effects or CGI to properly capture.
As fun as it can be to listen to these stories, it can be even more fun to hear one that is more unconventional, which I suppose could be said of a horror story in just about any medium, although many of my favorite horror stories aren't all that unconventional when you get to the nuts and bolts of them. Halloween, for instance, is a pretty straightforward story about a spree killer, just executed extremely well. And Salem's Lot is a story about vampires overrunning a town. I really enjoy it, but nothing about it is particularly off the wall.
But, on the other hand, now that I've said the word "wall", you have something like the Lights Out story "Come to the Bank," which is about a woman who finds out a man is stuck inside the wall of a bank. Very unusual, quite memorable. The famous–for its genre and medium–story "The Dark" features an inexplicable creeping, living shadow / fog that turns you inside out. And while the original recording of it has been lost to time, a re-recorded version can still be found and is genuinely unsettling despite–or maybe because of–the spare yet bizarre and absurd premise.
And that brings me back, finally, to "The Thing on the Fourble Board." Again, the setup and title are giveaways to a certain degree, but they don't give away the most memorable parts of the story. And yes, I'll be giving away those things here, so last chance to listen to it for yourself before I get into it. And if I may make an unsponsored, sincere recommendation, Relic Radio has put out a very efficient and reliable Old Time Radio horror podcast for years now, simply titled The Horror (exclamation mark), and you can find it there.
So, what is the thing on the fourble board? Well, for much of the episode we don't know, in part because the thing is invisible unless covered in mud or something else that makes it visible. And that's just one of it's many peculiar qualities. The first glimpse we get of it is not of the entire creature, but of a lost body part. A finger, which seems to be made of stone. This thing that has been cored out of the depths of the earth by mistake is made of living rock that can't be seen once it's cleaned off. And we're still just barely getting started.
After the thing is seemingly responsible for some "accidents" that lead to two gruesome deaths our narrator, a roughneck named Porky who is speaking directly to the audience, as many narrators do in radio horror stories, he finds himself alone with the creature on the fourble board one day. At first he can't see it, he can only hear it's cries, which are shrill and almost baby-like–but not quite–and whining. It's almost comical when you hear it on the episode except it's a little too strange to be that, in my opinion. Or a lot too strange, it's a weirdly inspired choice for an imaginary dangerous animal. And the weirdly inspired choices just pile up from here.
Porky throws a bucket of red paint over the creature so he can see it, and oh what a sight it is. It has the hands and face of a human being, but the face is childlike and girlish, and again, made of stone. And its body is like a spider's. So let's add up all of these separate parts to get a sum that is out of a fevered nightmare. A creature made of stone that is invisible unless painted over in some way, it has the face of young girl and a voice like a screeching bird is doing an impersonation of a human infant, and the body of a monstrously overgrown spider. And the final, vital piece of information we receive about it–the thing that cements its status as a threat–is fairly normal compared to everything else. It is carnivorous.
This chimeric combination of features is worthy of something from ancient mythologies. It's like whatever Greek or Mesopotamian god cooked it up did so by accident after several ingredients that didn't belong spilled into the pot. It is as if someone slipped evolution some LSD. It is senseless madness. It is shocking. It is, after all this time since the episode was first produced, almost laughable, except if you had to truly imagine yourself alone with such an abomination you'd have to admit that your brain might short circuit at the sight of something so blatantly wrong. And it is definitely something unknown. A monster no one had ever heard of until someone was inspired to create it.
And if your mind tracks along the same path that mine does then what you learn of the thing just introduces additional questions spotlighting more unknowns about its existence. Are its face and infantile cries used to lure in prey? Garner sympathy, as it shockingly does to Porky, which we find out at the very end of the episode? What of its stone skin and invisibility? These could be useful for attacking purposes, but seem even more beneficial as defense mechanisms. Could this mean that it isn't the apex predator of its environment? Is there something else down there that it has to look out for deep in the subterrane? What other and potentially worse unknown horrors we've never heard of live with it a mile or more under our feet?
At this point I might have thought more and longer about the actual thing that was found on the fourble board than its creator ever did. Perhaps not. Either way, he did his job well, imagining a creature whose knowns and unknowns spur further imagining, wonder and dread.

Oakland 6, Minnesota 3 Oct 04, 2002
Jermaine Trevell Dye (born January 28, 1974 in Oakland, California), dubbed "Live and Let" Dye by Chris Berman, is a right fielder in Major League Baseball for the Chicago White Sox. Dye has also played with the Atlanta Braves (1996), Kansas City Royals (1997-2001), and Oakland Athletics (2001-04), joining the White Sox prior to the 2005 season. Jermaine helped the White Sox win the World Series in 2005. He was awarded the World Series MVP. Dye bats and throws right-handed and is known for his ability to hit for power and his powerful throwing arm.
Dye attended Will C. Wood High School in Vacaville and Cosumnes River College in Sacramento, California, and was selected by Atlanta in the 17th round of the 1993 amateur draft. Dye began his major league career with the Atlanta Braves (hitting a home run in his first at-bat), and contributed to their 1996 National League championship and played in the 1996 World Series.
He was traded to Kansas City on March 27, 1997. In 1999 Dye played in 158 games for the Royals, hitting 26 home runs. He was one of the more well-liked Royals at that time, with fans frequently chanting "Dye-no-mite" after he came up to bat. The next year he made the American League All-Star team. Dye, Mike Sweeney, and Carlos Beltran composed the historic 2000 Royals offense.
