I do love the interview segment but I'd have to be honest and wish they were a little shorter. I love everything else though. :-D

After the December 30th show, we'll be going back to much shorter shows - 4-5 mins or so. We're working on how that's going to all fit together.

Hmmm, usually the theme of the show is finding what's cool, inspirational, educational, entertaining and irreverent while surfing the technological wave. Given that I am something of an NGO, non-profit, progressive nut, I'd suggest covering some of the orgs devoted to making the world a better place and how they utilize technology. Sites such as Kiva.org, and Ashoka.org, or tree-nation.org are really good at showing this. There is also an organization called "Good" in LA devoted to such things and they have a magazine that they devote to social change. I just found out about them at their event this weekend as found here: http://www.good.is/?p=14299 Where I met some really cool people. Other than that, I'll have to scramble my noggin to find something.

I've been aware of Machinima for a while, and very recently have started to get into the Red VS Blue series .


I'm about 40 episodes in and I think it is Piss funny :D I think a future fu should go to rooster teeth for making a successful show out of what is essentially Multiplayer videogame footage :P
