It hasn’t even been a year since we first started streaming live, and we’ve already produced over 700 short-form videos – most of ‘em posted to our YouTube channel (but available just about anywhere and everywhere).

We’ve covered just about every area of technology for the casual consumer, but I’m sure there are plenty more of your tech questions to answer. We will certainly continue to create a “show” for the Internet, but I think I’m officially ready to hire a couple of my regular co-stars.

Doesn’t matter what I do; Wicket and Pixie always steal the show. I think this is the “Cute Overload” factor at play. So, expect to see more of them every day – hopefully, with some kind of offbeat tech angle to keep them firmly rooted in geekery.

The secret to a successful Internet video venture is… dogs:

My dogs are, admittedly, spoiled. They’ve grown up surrounded by high definition televisions and high speed Internet access. I’ve done my best to shield them from the horrors of dial-up and CRTs – just like any adopted parent might do. Last week, I tried to bring home one of those new DLP screens, but Wicket had a hissy fit. He seriously hated that sucker! We took ‘er back to the store and decided to stick with our current range of plasmas. He seems happy, and I hope the next generation of HD screens fares better with his attention.

I’ve been teaching Pixie chat room netiquette, although she’s been already been banned from #HawtDoggies on irc.poochiepals.com. Not quite sure how to explain to her that you can’t use ALL CAPS and bad words (like “cat” or “meow”) when talking to puppies. Got any ideas on how to iTrain these dogs?

They’ve officially disowned us.
