Reunited

Amber MacArthur and I will be making a personal appearance this week in Vancouver, BC on behalf of Future Shop. We'll be debating LCD vs Plasma and the Future of Television this Thursday, 27 September, from 11:30a-12:30p at the Futureshop store, 1740 West Broadway in Vancouver. The CBC's Tod Maffin will be moderating (and keeping us from throwing any punches). There's very limited seating at the store - it's first come, first serve - but you can also watch online at FutureShop.ca. Free registration required - limited to the first 1000 registrants. If this goes well we may be doing events like this all across Canada.

Upcoming Radio Stuff

I'll be on the Murray Wood Show, on NewsTalk 980 CJME in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan today from 1-2p Central Mountain time talking tech and taking calls. I also recorded an interview with Kai Ryssdal on APR's Marketplace yesterday. We talked about Google competitors like Powerset and Maholo. It should air on your local public radio station today or tomorrow. MP3s are available from the web site.

Leo The Explorer

I just got the Explorer Jacket from Scott E-Vest. It's my new favorite - and I have pretty much everything Scott does. It's a 3/4 length jacket in a very suede-like microfiber with a lightweight quilted lining and more pockets than ever. And it just looks and feels so good. Thanks, Scott! We don't have a TWiT version of this jacket, but we do have SeV TWiT hoodies, fleeces, and hats. You can get them from the great folks at ThinkGeek. Profits from the TWiT SeV merchandise help support the show, and you'll feel good announcing that you're a TWiT to the world! And don't forget to use the TWIT coupon code when you order anything from SeV for 20% off! We now return you to Bioshock, already in progress.
