Pitching Ideas

What a wicked show. I thought it was a bit rough, but the producers believed it went smoothly. I was thrown off by the Althlon guy, but not to the point where I'll have to cry myself to sleep tonight. It's the time of the week where we think about what we want to do on the show in the near future. Gadgets, pets, surgery – not all in one show, of course. “Jog a Dog” (a treadmill for your pooch). Sprocket would go for miles and miles and miles and miles. Dogs make good television. Super-reflective sportswear for your pets works for me, too.

What about some Genealogy stuff? Do you know of anybody in the Bay area who could come on to talk about it? I should get around to completing my family tree. It looks like one long trunk, sadly. I was adopted by my birth parents. Long story. Weird ending. Are there any other computer geeks who teach classes out here? I can't be the only one. And what about an Internet psychologist? He or she could come on and let us know whether or not we have problems. That'll be revealing. How do YOU stop pop-up ads?

And what exactly is legal and illegal when it comes to computing? Adam's dad could come on and bat those points around. Have you registered all of your software? If not, you could be fined at some point in the future. Crackdown! Parenting online would be a great idea, too. Someone from SF Bay Moms is going to be on soon. Not that I'm getting any ideas. Our house is full enough with Sprocket. Nappie races!? This stream of consciousness note-taking is fun.

Set up surround sound? Not a problem. They'll bring the speakers, we'll bring the ears. Sounds good to me. Home Theater is hot, buddy. Dolby isn't just for audiophiles, ya know. Fine tuning your setup is another story. Where do you place the speakers? What's the optimum distance between each of them? Are there low-end alternatives? Some of us are on a budget.

Top five things you can do with coasters – CDs that didn't make the burn. Send us your ideas! We're all about recycling products around here. The “tech” of laser light shows would be killer, although it's not really something for our audience. Are those red beam pointer thingies really dangerous? I used to run my eyes across those grocery store scanners all the time. Since I wear my UPC symbol on my butt, it never worked too well.

Are you using Windows XP or 98? A lot of people are getting digital cameras, but we're not sure which OS we should be showing more. Portable defribulators. That might be reminiscent of the classic lie detector episode. People still talk about that guy. What about a lookalike contest? Who looks like me? Do you look like me? Do you want to admit you look like me? Would you go into plastic surgery to look like me? What about to NOT look like me? Sorry. Didn't mean to scare ya.
