- Just watched the Amazing Race premiere. I haven't watched the show in years, but this is a good season. They did some great casting! #
- Wow, amazing multi-track, A Cappella videos. Some are, meh, but some, like François Macré's vid, are worth your time! http://bit.ly/bncllN #
- I am embrassed to live heer in Amerika: http://j.mp/cxrnLE #

- Where Icarus Flies Episode 9 has been posted! http://bit.ly/ammZ4a #
- Miss me? This week's podcast is done, it just needs some post production work. It will be posted later tonight. #
- Another reboot? Judge Dredd? Do people not remember that it was a crappy comic? Of course a remake will be bad! http://bit.ly/aEVKV4 #
- Adobe Flash or HTML5? Why doe we have to choose? Why not have both? C'mon Apple, support Flash on "i" devices! http://bit.ly/abPwl8 #
- T-Pain and Jamie Fox… Meh… I think they can sing, but with all of the electronic crap, how can you tell? Wow, Slash too? LOL! #Grammys #
- I only like less than 1/2 of what the Black Eyed Peas put out. I think they are talented, but my ears just don't connect with them much. #

#Grammys #

- Not that the Dems are innocent angels, but the GOP really blew this one. Deception or incompetence? Likely both. http://bit.ly/9XdjDR #
- Has anyone seen vpike.com? I don't get it. It is just Google Maps & Street View. What does it add? User photos? Okay, then use Google Earth. #
- Bottom line: Forget tech companies, is there another company in any market that makes you feel as excited and giddy as Apple? #
- Well, enough Apple watching. Time to get on with the day.
# - I can't believe the iPad is missing a camera! I'd like to see a front and back cameras or one you can flip. Video iChat/Skype would rock! #
- Without video and audio out, why bother having Keynote on the iPad? I assume there will be an accessory dongle you can purchase. #
- iPad is NOT an eReader, but SOOOOO much more. At first blush, it is slick. #
- As an eReader, don't forget the Kindle was designed to be readable in direct sunlight and has network access built in with no extra cost. #
- I would subscribe to a newspaper with an iPad. What about magazines and comic books? #
- CNN is webcasting the Apple event. It looks like they are behind ~20 minutes or so, but the quality is good. http://bit.ly/b03LtT #
- The live feeds for the iPad, Apple coverage, suck! #
- Have they mentioned Adobe Flash on the iPad? Price point will be huge… $999? More? Less? I am guessing $799. (I'd like $499) #
- iPad, is lame. I think it is time for Apple to drop the "i" from its names. iT has run iTs course… #
- How does Apple not have a live broadcast of its own? #
- "You maniacs! You are going to reboot it again? Damn you! God damn you all to hell!" FOX reboots Planet of the Apes: http://bit.ly/9nQNBh #

- I restored my Mac via my Time Machine backup. Worked like a charm! The podcast will be back up and running this week. #
- Jimmy Fallon's tribute song to Conan was great! #
- Just watched the final Tonight show of the Conan era. Epic! NBC will be burned by his departure. He is a class act and a great talent. #
- About to see Legion. My hopes aren't high, but I'm going to watch it anyway. Angels attacking humans with machine guns and rocket launchers! #
- This is great for Conan. A small setback in his career. The way he was treated, screw NBC! He will come back big! Will he return to NYC? #
- Might not have a podcast this week. A couple of power outages messed up my computer. I am working on it, but I may need to reinstall my OS. #
- A rough night for the Dems. What happened in Massachusetts? The fact is that voters have short term memories. #

- The Book of Eli was a HUGE disappointment. Holy boring movie, Batman. The "twist" at the end was LAME. This will not make Denzel's top 10. #
- I really like Denzel, so I am going to check out The Book of Eli today. It looks good, but the reviews are mixed. #
- I see "Stranger than Fiction" on loads of Best of the Decade lists. I thought it got panned? I haven't seen it, is it worth watching? #

- "Pants on the Ground" as sung by Neil Young. http://bit.ly/5N1xAo Fallon has talent! #

- Another iPhone Killer down the drain… http://bit.ly/4EfFFH #
- A guy from another table interjected, "You mean Avatar." One of the guys arguing responded with, "No, that is the one with Clooney." OMG! #
- Two guys here at Carl's are arguing over if James Cameron directed the animated film "Up in the Air" or not… #
- Gotta say… I like Conan's statement. http://j.mp/85OvWU (via @kevincrossman) Great statement! Can The Peacock get any worse? #
- Today is Western Bacon and The Whopper. Tomorrow In-n-out and Wendy's. Two burgers a day for a week or so, I'll need to carry an AED! #
- I have decided to push out my burger discussion to next week. I am going to resample. Yesterday was the Quarter Pounder and Angus Burger. #
- Is anyone really crying over no Tobey Maguire in he next Spider-Man? I liked him, but losing him and Sam Raimi will not kill the franchise. #
- I think I'll do a best burgers segment on this week's podcast. I'd love to hear what your top 5 (non-homemade) burgers are. #
- I really like Conan O'Brien, but they never should have given him The Tonight Show. What a mess… #
