Holy Jumping Monkeys Batman!

Posted: Jul 10, 10:50 AM

Oh man, the past couple of weeks have been hectic. So hectic in fact, I haven't been able to post anything interesting or fun, minus my triumph in the iPhone search world... which died a few hours later :)

So I was catching up on some of my favorite podcasts today, all of which reside on the TWiT Netcast Network and low and behold, they mentioned me and this blog! The podcast in question was Megan Marrone and Leo Laporte's Jumping Monkeys episode number 5, somewhere around 6:30 into the show.

Sure it was a brief mention about Glubble (Glubble To The Rescue!), but Megan and Leo have been heroes of mine since way back when so I'm sitting her like a school girl who just walked past Leonardo Dicaprio. The whole reason I use to subscribe to Comcast's Digital Cable service was so I could watch them and the rest of the old TechTV crew... then G4 destroyed my hopes and dreams.

All is not lost. I still get a huge dose of Leo every week via the TWiT Netcast Network and now that Leo and Megan are doing a podcast, I'm in digital daddy heaven. If you haven't checked out the podcasts on TWiT, I advise you to go do so. Go!

    WooHoo! Congrats. I was also a big fan of TechTV back in the good old days. In the glory days, that was the only tech show worth watching.

    Hey Megan & Leo, if you’re still hanging out here, I’m availalbe to come on your podcast and chat about Windows Mobile. :)

    You know, I have no idea why us Smartphone Thoughts guys don’t have a podcast. We should get on that! :)
