Almost…

Well, we realize it’s been pretty much an entire month since our last show. It’s been a hectic month, too… I had the entire lower floor of my house replaced, flooring-wise, and we had a death in the family. So… yeah. It’s all good.

Anyway, Sethran & I hooked up tonight via Skype and were recording what was going to be Episode 36 with a program call WireTap Pro. About twenty minutes in… *POOF*

WireTap Pro just closed itself and sent our show into the netherworld. Which sucks. It was good. All about the new Apple announcements, with the iPod, the Shuffle, the new Nanos, the redesigned store.

Gone.

<sigh>

We’ll try again later this week for a replacement Episode 36, but I didn’t want to leave you, our loving subscribers, in the dark.

That’s just how I roll.

L8R!

Episode 35

Episode 35 turned out to be a little longer than normal, as we just break the thirty minute mark… but’s it’s just chocked full of Brothers Green goodness. And here’s the info to prove it:

• Sony Mylo – if you want to help Sony rule the world and try to regain their “hip” factor, you’ll want one of these
  
• Apple announced they are teaming up with the teamsters – Ford, GM & Mazda are all going to be including iPod integration with their 2007 line of vehicles
• The Opera browser for Nintendo’s DS is spreading from Japan to Europe in October
• Firebox has released their line of virtual “Tamagotchi”-like boy/girlfriends. Get yours now for only $38!
  
• A Japanese farmer has grown square watermelons – and they’re a steal at $83 a piece!
  
• MyTunesRSS is a nifty little program that’s supposed to allow access to your iTunes library via the net, anywhere… but Boz couldn’t get it to work – at all
• Drano Liquid Gel Max does work – if you have a clogged drain, get it!
• We both liked the movie V for Vendetta
  
• The Aquaman Pilot is now available in iTunes
• Bozric hated The Net 2.0 and won’t let Sethran watch it
  

We announced in the last show that we don’t really edit our episodes once we start recording. We did receive an inquiry as to where the outtake at the end of every episode comes from. They’re actually from other recordings. We typically turn the mics on as soon as they’re set up and record a bunch of crap that only serves as a mic level check – not meant for public consumption, except in very small quantities. Hence, the outro snippet. This show, for example, we were discussing the finer points, or lack thereof, of Hardee’s new Milk Shake commercials. Thanks for asking!

I’ve heard of Europe.

We Have a Gift Shoppe!

We’ll make an announcement about the store in the next show, but we thought we’d let those of you who actually visit our site in on the news early…

We have a Gift Shoppe now!

It’s linked in to the site in the “Links & Such” section in the upper right, but if you don’t want to expend the energy to move you mouse, here’s the link as well:

Episode 34

This show was recorded using our Fostex recorder from the comfort of my upstairs’ sectional… which actually caused more technical issues than when I hook up everything into my mac. Go figure.

Anyway, here’s this show’s list of topics:

• Microsoft finally admits they’re developing Zune
  
• Yahoo is now selling non-DRM mp3’s and Seth bought one
• MPAA hoped Shawn Hogan, CEO of Digital Point Solutions, would settle for $2500 when they threatened him with a lawsuit. He said he’d see ‘em in court. Go Shawn!
• Wendy’s adds new flavor to Frosty lineup after only 37 years
• Wizmark – coming to a urinal near you!
  
• This week’s tech toy is Bozric’s new Motorola Q
  
• And finally, our review of Matador, on DVD everywhere
