Well, the video interview that I mentioned back in October from TECHcocktail 2 is now out. It is a good thing that we don't do a video podcast!
Thanks to Ed and Benjamin for coming down to Chicago from Technology Evangelist for coming down from The Twin Cities to shoot video and put a few away with us.
I get completely nerdy and invoke every nerd vocal affect and even throw in some raised eyebrows . . . which are much more noticeable when you have not a hair on your head.
You'll notice the launching forward when I speak, that is due to the noise in the bar and I wasn't sure that Ed was was two feet in fron of me would be able to hear me speak. It was loud! I could barely hear myself speaking. Benjamin did a great job picking up my voice or it was the mic but either way it sounds better than it did in the bar.

I stumbled across an mpg version of Beck's Saturday Night Live gig right before the Thanksgiving. Before I could link up to it I thought that I would hit Beck's site . . . and sure enough the video from both performances was there for viewing. And . . . the mpg that I had seen was a screen capture from the site.
So instead of linking of to a lower quality version of an already low quality encoding of the video here are the directions:
a. go to www.beck.com
b. get your mouse to top left and drop down boom box and stop audio
c. go back left and get the menu to slide open
d. click the "video" button
d. click the "SNL Oct 2006" button
e. choose your speed

Dragging Betsy to see The Black Keys last night was pretty satisfying. Not in the sense that it was going to be torture for her or that the Black Keys are on my short list for bands to see live, but for the simple reason that she loves me.
After she got out of her seat without a word and came back with a t-shirt I knew that I really had her. You would think that 14 years of hanging out together and 10 years of marriage would have opened my eyes to this fact.
The show was great and I would recommend that any Black Keys fan check them out on this tour. If you don't have the time NPR is offering a download of their D.C. show at 1 hour and 9 minutes, but it doesn't do justice to watching Patrick beat the shit out of the drums.

Now that Betsy is big time with her Christian Science Monitor interview about Elmo TMX's on ResaleQueen.com out I will prepare for her eventual Rosanne launch to fame. Heh! I kid baby, I kid.
The title of the piece is, "10 years later, a new ticklish Elmo tops the 'hot toy' list" written by Cristian Lupsa. Thanks to Christian for writing what is pretty much a quintessential Betsy piece.
Betsy and I have been joking for the last hour about how when her jokes are out of context or by not having a personal relationship with her how her humor comes off. We'll let you know what kind of feedback, if any we receive from anyone new.
Way to go Booba!

This is for those of you catching up on shows. We're heading out of town tomorrow and won't be around to record a new show. Instead of doing a cheesy "What is your worst Thanksgiving moment Betsy?" show we're going to rerun the vacation series.
Maybe you can distract your family with our misery and laughter from our trip to Denver.
And from us to you . . . have as good a Thanksgiving Holiday as you can.

On Monday's show I said that we'd talk about my trip out to PodCampWest during Wednesday's show. I forgot and thought that instead I would modify a post that I put up at kristophermsith.com (a neglected space).
I am back home thanks to a red eye flight at 11:30 pm.m out of San Francisco. I had a great time and the lack of sleep from coming out Saturday morning and then leaving that night was worth it. Unfortunately, I'm missed out on Sunday's conversations.
It was great seeing some familiar faces, talking with friends and meeting many of new people who are both interested in podcasting or have jumped in with both feet writing code and podcasting. I was fortunate enough to be on the keynote panel discussing "The Future of New Media" and followed that with a "Getting Started" panel. There were a lot of good questions but the best seemed to be saved for the hallways.
Steve Rhodes has some images up.
Behind me the most bad ass chair I have ever put mine in.
