Ok, in the blooper section when you were messing with your mic and checking your makeup, I saw, what I believe to be, one of the most serious faces I’ve ever seen on you. The only other times were when James Kim died and during “The Critic.” (Aargh. I hate to bring that up again) :)
I must agree. There was a serious face on you if I have ever seen one. It wasn’t bad mind you, it just is worth noting.
Plus your TV is just, well, yummy.
Wow, that Fring thing is seriously cool! Finally a way to use Google Talk on my mobile via Wi-Fi. Simply awesome, although it’s still in beta.
i love the segment shows you putting on your mic and make up, all serous looking, makes me laugh out loud, that was cute, again, great show, and just out of curiosity, do you ever read these comments, cali? (i don’t care if neal reads these or not)
thank you, we love you!!
@BPhelmet: yep, I read every one. I have to admit, I’m not as good as I used to be at responding, but I try. :)
The wii charging stations are neat, but if you don’t have room for the bases (or just don’t want it), I would look at sanyo eneloop NiMH’s. They are the new long lasting ones… as in, will hold up to 85% of their charge even after a year of sitting there.
While that is an advertising claim, they have seemed to fair well after a month sitting, and then being put into the wiimote. Better than some NiMH’s I’ve used before. And I’ll plug thomas distributing for where to get em :)
I think there are other’s out there, not just sanyo, but they were white and blue, matched well w/ the wii :)
Why Would you even Mention Borat?
Please dont tell me you liked it
IMO He is insulting Everyone Intelligence
and its very Disgusting too
I was wondering why your myspace photos were gone.
You need to put at least one back ’cause there’s a grey placeholder in my top 8 now :(
Commodore 64….ahh
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Anyone else have any issues with the itunes feed (for iPod)
I’m getting an exclamation mark for #141 :(
Itunes doesn’t seem to be seeing any new episode ;)
I’m also having trouble with the itunes feed. even when it sees a new ep, it downloads it, then deletes it claiming it can’t be played on my ipod.
Glad I am not the only one then…
I ended up going to the store, searching for the podcast and clicked on the “Get Episode” button to get #141. An unsubscribe, and resubscribe didn’t work, nor did a normal refresh :(
Let’s get a Wii feed instead. :) (Actually, that wasn’t even funny)
Everyone who’s having trouble with the iPod feed - Did you upgrade to the newest version of iTunes that was just released?
Is anyone having trouble with other feeds, like the Large Format feed?
Okay - I’ve released a repost. Please tell me if it comes through in iTunes or not.
I’m sure this has to do with the update, btw - it happens every time. :)
I have NOT updated yet. (learned my lesson last time). I got 141 fine, but this morning, I’m getting the errors.
I have downloaded the latest ITunes [ver 7.1.0.59] and was unable to download your latest show. The last show I have is “A Wii Little Brief” 3.5.2007.
Cali, Love the pig tails!!!!!
iTunes is still showing up with a bang (!).
For the Nyko wii remote stations, do the remotes fit with the lanyards still on them? Or do you have to take the lanyards off every time you put the remotes on the charger?
–Joe
Its not showing up still and I did update to the latest version on the mac.
Cali it not a problem that you are sucking down the SPLENDA flavours as long as you are not sucking them straigh from the package with a straw.
downloaded it yesterday but refreshing I’m getting:
Not a valid podcast URL
Neil you don’t like video games? Were you raised in the wild by armadillos?
Itunes feed not working here either :(
Okay, things should be working now. If not, of course, let me know!!
Sorry to hear about your myspace, I just checked my top eight and your photo is gone but I clicked on your name and your still there. Never really heard of anything like that before. Loved the way you did your hair today Cali, super cute. :-)
For the longest time the iPod feed was working on my PSP. Then it wasn’t. Then for a week or so it worked again. Today it is having problems. :( Quit toying with my emotions Geekbrief. There was nothing better than setting the PSP to download automatically and having geekbrief waiting for me.
My issue was before and after the update.
I tried it before, and it didn’t work, then updated and tried it again after. Still didn’t work.
It works if you did what I did in the end, but that isn’t really an auto subscribed checking.
I’m sure it will be fixed for the next issue. Thanks for all the great work Neal, Cali!!
Thanks for the link to the Wii recharger station. I have been waiting for them to be released since I got my Wii last year. They where supposed to be out in January, a little late - but only had to buy a few sets of batteries. :)
You’ve been wearing some fun shirts lately - thanks for the link!
What I got a kick out of during the checking-makeup sequence was that the little onscreen characters seemed to be getting more and more impatient with you.
Fring!!! I checked out Fring after I saw the episode, and I must say I have become OBSESSED with figuring out if it is possible to (or how well it might work) to only use skype for all of my calling from a cell phone. Since it is my only phone I am going to do a bunch of testing, but the possibility of cutting my phone bill in half and using even more of my smart phones potential is exciting. Thanks for giving us new and exciting things to think about during our work days.
[...] I was watching Geek Brief TV yesterday and Cali talked about a service called Fring. Basiclly what it does is allows you to access your Skype account (as well as Google Talk and MSN Messenger) through any cell phone that has an wi-fi or data connection. I pay 19.99 a month for an unlimited data plan, and I have a phone that is compatible! [...]
Great work Cali, Have yourself another splenda packet.
