Show Notes:

It’s episode 11… our show is kicked off with a physics lesson from Sewer Being, and then punctuated by a massive tech news roundtable with SolidXSnake, NikSub, Hazaro, Captain Newbie, and JamesXP (it was a pain to edit;-). We talk about laptops that zap you, Vista irritations, high end graphics… and much more.

And we’re done!

Hahahahaha....

Oh...

Ok I'll listen now...

I'm sure it was a PITA, but I really liked the news "round table" discussion.

You'd enjoy it more without the edits, I think we shouldn't do this to jdrake again... I bet it took him about 2 hours probably more

I was thinking... we could do the roundtables live... so if people want to listen to the madness... they can... and then I edit them down for the final show.

Anyone interested in that?

I'd probably start with just a few people on the table... keep it simple, then add more if it works out.

Jordan

That would be pretty lol...


Keep it simple e,g No mac bashing

or vista bashing...

Id love to listen to it live.

Anyone interested in that?

100% YES. There is nothing better than the random chatter that comes when discussing new topics.

Oh man...

That would be great

I'm down for the live version too

Always weird hearing the voices of online folk.

'will listen to it when i get home but i would love a live round table discussion with a little twist... Have you guys on air and then allow people to message jdrake via IM and discuss what ever the people want to hear about a certain topic announced at the beginning of the show
