A dozen and a half episodes knocked out. Whee! This week we're experimenting again... using Apple's iChat and the latest release of Garageband - aptly named Garageband 3. It's killer for podcasting now!

So this week we're live via web chat. You'll probably notice that the audio quality is slightly less than what we typically spew out. Still, we discuss the following:

• The last week of 2005 broke the records for music downloads... someone call Guinness!
• Steven Spielberg's BAFTA SNAFU - who knew England wasn't DVD Region 1, anybody?!?
• Levi's iPod Jeans, @ $200 per pair, these babies probably WON'T be turned into Daisy Dukes
• Nikon is discontinuing their film cameras, unless you're a dyed-in-the-wool pro
• Microsoft quietly killed their support for Windows Media Player in the Macintosh world
• Xbox 360 only supports HD-DVD, unless Blu-Ray is better
• My new Akai 20" LCD TV/DVD Combo, hung nicely on my bedroom wall
• Our movie this week is Crash, available at your local rental shop
  

We'll see about recording live, in person, again next week... unless one of us is feeling lazy again.

I'm a scientist. No.
