I'm listening to it right now, you know, since I might have forgotten what I said. The part where Skype killed me and I trail off into "yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah..." is pretty amazing.

Few things we discussed:

- Bet I lost with Shawn about Justin's laptop
- xTrain: Online video training
- Cinemanix: Motion capture studio in Pittsburgh
- Mac UK ads
- The 90s and flannel
- Meebo: Web-based chatting
- Guest Brian from Alive in Baghdad and Alive in Mexico
- .. and more!


Remeber, we record live every Sunday typically at 10pm directly after net@nite. To listen, talk and chat... head on over to TalkShoe.com

Big deal.
Just change the name Steve.

For all I care, call it the PoopSnack Mobile by Apple Computer, Inc.

My only real complaint is Cingular only.. Granted, my ABC quote said otherwise, I'd really love to be able to choose my own service provider. Having Sprint and Verizon already, I'm not exactly too keen on adding on a third.

I've heard and read a million different possibilities/rumors as far as when the iPhone (or, as I'll now refer to it, the PoopSnack Mobile by Apple Computer, Inc) is open to other providers.

The price point I feel is pretty fair. The Treo 700p originally retailed at $619!!!!! As I said previously, the iPhone is currently priced at $599 for the 8GB model and $499 for the 4GB model. That's all well and good, but what about a new user agreement? With a 2 year plan, the Treo 700p's price was significantly knocked down to $399.

Come on Steve.. You're already forcing Cingular upon us! Perhaps you could at least pay for our early termination fees? Just a thought, my friend.. Just a thought.

Still in New York and I only get cell reception randomly throughout the ski lodge. There's a small section of the kitchen table that I'll actually be able to send photos without an error. Its so warm here that skiing was never even an option. Its basically 60 degrees and raining. Mud fest dot com.

We're coming back Sunday and then Monday I'll be flying out to San Fran to attend Mac World. I've wanted to go since I came out of my mom, so this is pretty exciting.

In other news, I was really worried that I lost my wallet but Desiree informed me that it was in a dark corner under a pile of clothes in my room. That would have caused some issues at the airport. Considering I think that I also lost my birth certificate.. lol

Ah, oh well... I'm going to bed!
