Predictions for 2006
The blogosphere continues to degenerate into uselessness, with “me too” entries overtaking substance by a margin of 50:1. Microsoft infuriates the syndication enthusiasts by calling it “OurSS” for Windows Vista and IE7. Yahoo! acquires Danni.com, claiming “Web 2.0 is going to be even bigger now.” Dave Winer officially adopts Robert Scoble. HDTV programming doubles – [...]

Reel Reviews on Real Movies
Reel Reviews, a podcast featuring movie reviews and commentary by Michael Geoghegan, launched as what is probably the first movie themed podcast over a year ago. It remains my favorite movie review podcast in spite of a wealth of competition from both film fanatics and established movie critics like Ebert and Roper. Chris talked with [...]
Getting a Telescope
Yeah, I'm now in the process of buying a telescope – and just when I thought I had found the one that would work for me, I've come to discover it's not perfect. Then again, what telescope is? This leg of my telescope journey began on Christmas Eve, although there's no rush to get anything [...]
Stupid People
You've heard of ruthless people, you've heard of toothless people, but what about stupid people? Have you ever run into someone who was too dumb to breathe? No, seriously – I'm talking about stupidity that goes all the way down to the bone. Like, someone who knows better (yet puts other people in jeopardy because [...]
Popping a Pimple
I told you we had the world's biggest pimple.
The World's Biggest Pimple (or Zit)
I've had my fair share of face monsters in the past; most adults deal with zits on a regular basis. Imagine our suprise when we walked into our studio room and found that our ceiling was developing a gigantic whitehead. No amount of Oxy or Stridex would help the situation, however. This was a house [...]
Cranium
Guess the thing!
Weblogs, Inc 2.0
Jason Calacanis joins us for the first hour of the show with some predictions for the new year, insight on Web 2.0 and the business of Web publishing. Chris attempts to get Jason to reveal some AOL trade secrets to no avail although we did get a tip that Blogsmith (the engine powering Weblogs, Inc) [...]

The Christmas Spirit
Okay, so I was a little upset at a few Seattle SUV drivers tonight, but… that doesn't mean I've lost the Christmas spirit. Au contraire, if any of you saw last night's GnomeREPORT. Santa Chris Delivers Gifts to Believers – and I'll do something similar next year. For the moment, I'm telling everyone how to [...]

Dear All SUV Owners…
YOU DO NOT OWN A COMPACT CAR. AT NO POINT IN YOUR SUBURBAN UTILITY VEHICLE'S LIFE WILL IT EVER TURN INTO A COMPACT CAR, SO STOP THINKING IT'S ANYTHING BUT AN SUV. YOU'RE NOT DRIVING A CAR, YOU'RE DRIVING A GAS-GUZZLING TANK. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR REASONS ARE FOR PURCHASHING SUCH A MONSTROSITY, BUT [...]
