ATP: Weekend of March 24-25th

Gee, can you tell I got my Apple TV?

ATP
1. Smodcast 1-3: For anyone that likes Kevin Smith, this is the podcast for you! I'll be doing a full review soon.

2. Ask a Ninja: Special SXSW. Looks like the ninja put a little something together for SXSW.

3. Ask a Ninja 38. Cool ninja tips for college survival. Best line, "trade your box of Ramon for a cougar".

4. CommandN: Amber, Jeff, Will, and (gasp) Mike in the same place? This is a sign that the world is going to end...nah. Cool look at some neat stuff for you Facebook junkies out there (feel better Jeff).

5. Cranky Geeks 53. In perhaps the next sign of the end of the world, Adam Curry joins the cranks, and does a bang up job. My respect for the "podfather" grows. With the way the show is shot, does anyone get the feeling these people aren't in the same room? Don't even get me started with Dvorak's hair. It seems to have a mind of its own.

6. Diggnation 85. When Diggnation runs under 30 minutes, I get pissed. It usually takes me 30 minutes to get into the grove. This time the boys are LIVE at Park Chalet. Good show, my only gripe? Those hideous mics they use on location look like they are setting up for some serious online gaming after the show.

7. DL.TV 147: I must say I skipped a few of these to catch up (sorry). Roger Chang joins Patrick Norton this time. Dan Rather gets interviewed (looking like the evil Don Johnson) and I almost fell asleep, much like I did when he was doing the news. Near the end of the show we have a touching "Dear Abby" moment where a former tech junkie is given suggestions for getting back in the game.

8. Doctor Who Podshock: Aftershock. Short 5 minute podcast by Lewis reminding everyone of the live taping at ICON TODAY!!! Probably too late (sorry).

9. Geek Brief 139: Cali does another prerecorded segment from her appearance on "Call for Help". Basically we end up seeing very creative holiday uses for "Splinter Cell".

10. Geek Brief 140: Cali got a Wii -- at Sam's Club? This is probably one of the best Wii demos I have seen so far and probably pushed me over the edge to actually purchase one. Way to go Cali. I'm rating this my MUST WATCH, if only for Cali's questionable video game driving skills.

11. Geek Brief 141: After 140, I don't even recall 141...hmmm...nope, still thinkn' about a Wii.

12. Indigital 13: Before I start PLEASE REVISION 3, I HAVE AN APPLE TV NOW, I WANT LARGE FREEKIN' QUICKTIME FILES TO PLAY ON MY TV. Anyway, the best thing about Indigital is that they give away products on the show. That rocks! Keeps me coming back for more. This time it's a Guitar Hero bundle. In other happenings, Hahn makes some dubious reviews (and gets ridiculed), Will drops the F bomb, and Jessica is going to Ecuador. Now to the nitty gritty. Rev 3, these people need a set. They are obviously in a conference room. This show is awesome, please more regular episodes and a FREEKIN SET!

13. Strong Bad: Teen Girl Squad #12: Nuf said.

14. Textra Ep 2. The show gets a bit better. Don't want to say to much about it before I watch a few more episodes.
