   How about like a race car driving school, or motorcycle school? Hang Gliding? Drifting? Some ideas…

2. Zac Garrett February 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am 2

   Keep it on the geeky side! Maybe do something ala Jay Walking from the tonight show, but asking really geeky questions to random people. Tiger or Leopard, Emacs or Vi, digg or reddit. These types of geeky questions should at least be good for a laugh.

3. Jason W. February 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am 3

   MYTHBUSTERS!!!

4. dillweed February 6th, 2008 at 11:53 am 4

   how about “hippy” topics like organic lifestyle or recycling basics.

   …. then come immediately back to gadgets. your audience mostly followed you here from that world.

5. Steve Feldon February 6th, 2008 at 11:57 am 5

   yeah, eps where you _do_ things are always very cool–your skydiving and surfing episodes stick out. Pretty much if you do gadgets, you’re competing directly with Cali Lewis, but you have done so many things she’d never touch. . . .

   Bungee jumping? Try out for American Gladiators? Interview aficionados of weird extreme sports, like extreme ironing? Or even trying them? Interview weird local bands, like Daikaiju? Man on the street interviews about new Apple hardware? (And here I’m getting more and more back into geekiness. *sigh*)

6. Macedonia February 6th, 2008 at 12:01 pm 6

   More computer stuff would be nice. Like “Essential Mac tips” “Organizing your photos” or “Flash in five minutes”.. Or you can make another episode of grilled turkey – WOW version

7. Glen February 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pm 7

   Have a series on roller coasters! Would love to see you scream and holler. bet you’d have fun too

8. Anders February 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pm 8

   Some kind of cooking …

9. Anthony February 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pm 9

   There are all sorts of topics at the San Francisco Zoo that could be covered! Let me know if you guys are interested.

10. Spooky February 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pm 10

    How about something music related. Maybe an up and coming band or something. When the music festivals (e.g. SXSW, Bonaroo) kick off, you could do something related to them.

11. Wes February 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pm 11

    I vote for “behind the scene” type of stuff that you may have better access to than the rest of us unwashed masses, whether that would be geeky type of material, like interviews, product/gadget first looks, company or studio tours, how stuff is made, etc. or more hip or conventional type of material.

    Also, if it’s fun for you to cover, it will often be fun for us to watch and enjoy!

12. mike February 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pm 12

    Drifting would be awesome! There’s a Formula Drift event on the Long Beach Grand Prix course on April 12th. Ride alongs are amazing and I’m sure you could get one. Hit me up if you need some contacts…

13. Vinny February 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pm 13

    Veronica, you HAVE to check this place out…

    The woman thought ghosts were after her so she kept adding extensions to the house and making staircases that lead nowhere, etc. The house is a masterpiece of strangeness.

14. Paul Parkinson February 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pm 14

    How about comparing the audio quality of a an iPod playing hi quality MP3 to an uber hi end turntable?

    How about a “snowboarding 101″?

    How about changing a spare tyre/tire on a car?

    How about painting a door like the pro’s?

    How about focussing on “lost arts” such as woodcraft, blacksmithing,

    How about cutting a tree down – safely – combined with safe use of a chainsaw

    Loads more where that came from…

    Parkylondon

15. Steve February 6th, 2008 at 12:37 pm 15

    Since you’ve dabbled into artistic endeavors, you might look at Pageant of the Masters, a tad south of LA, but if you’re looking for artsy things it might be worthy.

16. plusrich February 6th, 2008 at 12:43 pm 16

    Mahalo TV Cribs featuring Jonathan Coulton.

17. Tim February 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pm 17

    A bit of disclosure. I am a wanna be geek and love all the tech podcasts that are produced. I think Mahalo Daily brings a different perspective to the tech community, and that I love. Keep finding the obscure.

18. Danny February 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pm 18

    Geek dating tips…or “How to score a lady like Veronica Belmont”…I’d really love to know how to do that!!!

    Yo V, see what you can find out about these:

20. Radiationman February 6th, 2008 at 12:56 pm 20

    I second Mythbusters, that would be way cool… Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs also lives in the Bay Area.

    The Coast Guard is getting a new high tech cutter that will be based in Alameda later this year, and the Coast Guard base in Petaluma is doing the tech training for the new ships – all kinds of radar and ship simulators… I know the Public Affiars guy up there…

    All the NASA stuff at Moffet would be pretty cool too… Wind tunnels and flight simulators, oh boy!

21. Bill February 6th, 2008 at 1:00 pm 21

    My vote goes to Mythbusters and another one with Doc Pop, possibly about his craft site.

22. Adam February 6th, 2008 at 1:12 pm 22

    Expand beyond the tech side of things and look at the rest of the Web. Some cool sites out there I’d like to know more about – Threadless, Hype Machine, RCRD LBL even.

23. Max February 6th, 2008 at 1:40 pm 23

    I agree with Mythbusters. That would be really awesome!

24. Eric February 6th, 2008 at 1:42 pm 24

    You guys should do a show about up and coming websites. Small sites that are awesome but maybe haven’t been discovered yet. Like my site, http://www.nintendogalaxy.com

25. Brian February 6th, 2008 at 1:43 pm 25

    Skiing! I’m not sure what the closest resort is, but you could always drive to Tahoe for a weekend and go skiing! And I’m sure at least one resort will give you free tickets just for including them in the video. Big resorts like Heavenly or North Star might even pay for your whole trip..

26. Ben February 6th, 2008 at 1:48 pm 26

    On a previous MacBreak Weekly (http://www.twit.tv/mbw74) they talked about a private, more in depth tour that one of the panel participants was taken on. That would be a really interesting Mahalo Daily for someone like me out on the East coast.

27. William February 6th, 2008 at 1:55 pm 27

    I think a lot of the stuff about start-ups and “Web 2.0″ companies is good. More episodes about different applications/websites would be good as a lot of that stuff is represented only by dull-mundane websites which look pretty but aren’t nearly as good as seeing actual people.

28. ChrisJF February 6th, 2008 at 1:56 pm 28

    Hey V,

    Currently, I think you have about the right balance between geeky and non-geeky.

    I really did like the sky diving/surfing/funkalicious episodes. But I also liked the rocket parts episode.

    Just keep doing what you’re doing and show us stuff we’ve never seen before or can’t easily experience it ourselves.

    -Chris

29. Alex February 6th, 2008 at 2:01 pm 29

    How about a tour of LA’s best tacos!

30. Anjuan February 6th, 2008 at 2:26 pm 30

    I would like to see you cover futurists like Ray Kurzweil. I don’t know if Kurzweil lives near the Bay Area, but I would guess that there are plenty of other people and organizations that try to determine the future of the human race; a future that in a large part will be determined by technology.

31. Andrew Wardlaw February 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm 31

    How about an interview with Thomas Hawk of zooomr fame and an item on amateur photography? Something like that maybe.

32. Todd February 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm 32

    Invoke the “Man in the Street” ( err…woman in the street ) and just start straight up asking people what their last text message was. I’ve been doing it as part of a social experiment lately, so fun. Once you ensure people you don’t any actual phone numbers, and you don’t want their name or the name of the person who sent the message, you’d be amazed at people’s willingness to read them aloud. Funny and interesting, plus you can tie it into a Mahalo search…I think.

    Special prize for finding Twitter messages.

33. Ricardo February 6th, 2008 at 3:19 pm 33

    I just like Mahalo Daily as it is, but all the ideas left here above seem to be fine to keep, as mentioned by Chris JF, that geeky/non-geeky balance.
    I totally support the idea of Mythbusters meet Mahalo, and the lost arts episode.
    Would like to see something about food/cooking/restaurants (since in the bay and LA are great summaries of cultures).
    Also it would be nice some “DIY around your house” episodes.
    Or visiting some of the not.known start-ups in Silicon Valley, cool companies like IDEO and cool university/college projects, researchs, contests, etc…
    But let’s not leave behind the geeky sci-fi episodes.

34. Uilleam February 6th, 2008 at 3:21 pm 34

    Here’s some ideas:

    1. Wine Country
    2. Charitable Organizations and what they do, their impact.
    3. Interview internet celebs and introduce their podcasts.
    4. Spotlight musicians who are online.
    5. Go behind the scenes of G4TV, Revision3, etc.
    6. Historical sites around your area.
    7. National parks, or historical buildings.
    8. Local museum exhibits, aquariums, observatories, etc.
    9. Behind the scenes of DisneyLand, if they’ll let you.
    10. What so cool about California anyway? Culture? People?

    Bonus answer: Doesn’t Mahalo have this large “How-To” section? Where’s the video on all those topics? D’uh.

    Bonus answer #2: Not knowing how timely your shows can be, but doing shows that breakdown the biggest news on the web, one story at a time. Digging to the kernal of the story.

    Does that help? I like the geek stuff, especially from you, but don’t get bogged down in it. Diversity is great, and why I keep coming back. You’re the best, later.

35. djbrocker February 6th, 2008 at 3:33 pm 35

    Have you checked out Lucky Ju Ju in Alameda, CA?

    “Lucky Ju Ju is a place where Magic, Karma, Zeitgeist and Skill are infused into a collection of Vintage Pinball Machines for all to enjoy. If you are interested in Pinball, this is the place.”

    http://www.ujuju.com/

    I didn’t know this place existed until a few months ago, and I
    had a blast when I went there recently.

    You could ask the Curator about how pinball tech has changed
    throughout the years.

38. Cndmovn February 6th, 2008 at 5:37 pm 38

    How about interviewing some of the entrants in the various X-prise competitions?

39. Lazlo February 6th, 2008 at 5:41 pm 39

    V.,
    Loving the geeky stuff this past couple of weeks – it’s always great when your fangirl comes out!
    Some thoughts:
    -Interview Joss Whedon, all about Firefly, Buffy and Angel, maybe the writers strike (he’s just sitting in line anyway)
    -Interview bloggers – the smaller stories, random blogs about quilting or Spam. I talked to a ten year old who claims to have a blog about her dolls.
    -How to order books and everything else from the Library ONLINE. I love the online Library system (One of my favorite things in all the interweb), most cities/communities have this in place.
    -How to get involved teaching ESL
    -How to eat pie at your local favorite pie shop.
    -How to kick Ryan’s ass at Guitar Hero
    -How to get to level 70 on WoW (O.K., so maybe you’ll need to recruit someone who’s already been there)
    - Biking. Interview some local commuter bike riders. Do that whole “why biking is good for you and for the environment” thing. Ride around Golden state park and up into Marin county.
    -Interview the Woz – get one of his business cards.
    -Interview this dude. He’s on youtube – http://ronaldjenkees.com/
    -Interview James O’shea about his take on the future of Newspapers and the new media http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/21/business/media/22papertext.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&sq=LA%20Times%20editor&st=nyt&scp=1

    Keep up the great work! later gator!

40. Rick C February 6th, 2008 at 7:29 pm 40

    Most of the ideas you have gotten already are good, but I would caution you about being TOO LA-SF centric. You need to appeal to a worldwide crowd. That is why I like the how to segments so much. Also we could get the untold story of how you got to lvl70 inWOW.

41. merry gremlin February 6th, 2008 at 8:03 pm 41

    How about a show on kites? I don’t know what about kites specifically, but it seems like theres a lot you could do with that. Maybe theres a kite festival nearby? A really cool kite store? Maybe you could do a how-to on making a kite and getting the most out of flying one. I don’t know, seems really fun and easy. They might even have some tech kites that have come out since I flew my last one years ago. Sorry for the randomness.

    I thought mahalo daily was going to feature more productive how-to’s like from cnet? Maybe you could do “how to get involved and get the most out of an online community” or “how to set up a nice pod/vidcasting rig?”

    much love, merry gremlin

42. John B. February 6th, 2008 at 8:09 pm 42

    Three words: Wil Wheaton Interview.

    Maybe also:

    - Good organizing tips for home and office
    - a show on Getting Things Done (maybe with Merlin or David Allen)
    - Any show on cooking (the ones so far have been cool – fried turkey, grilled cheese)
    - If you ever come back to the East Coast and do a show, visiting the rich history of diners (in CT, NY, NJ – home of the “real diners”).

    Eh, probably lame, but they’re ideas!

43. Tim February 6th, 2008 at 8:13 pm 43

    1) A visit / interview with the Make magazine folks
    2) Mythbusters that is mentioned a bunch of times.
    3) A San Fran tour where the geek tourist should visit.

44. Derek February 6th, 2008 at 10:09 pm 44

    I’d like so see something about the recent trend of online university legitimacy. Universities putting courses into podcast form, distance learning, and that sort of thing.

45. Paul February 6th, 2008 at 10:18 pm 45

    how about a show on In-N-out burger in California and why its so popular!

46. Miiitch February 6th, 2008 at 10:24 pm 46

    1) Mythbusters of course!
    2) Interview of Rodney Lough the photographer of Pier 39. This photograph is really great
    3) The cable car museum: it’s a must see

    I agree with Rich C to not to be too SF centric. Come to Paris, there is a lot of subjects here:)

47. Robert Finlayson February 6th, 2008 at 11:22 pm 47

    Geocaching would be a cool example of using GPS for entertainment.

    Try and seek some caches in your area (use geocaching.com) and then (this is the best part), hide a “Mahalo” cache (report the new cache to geocaching.com).

    Robert.

48. Dom February 7th, 2008 at 12:30 am 48

    VB in Zero G.
    ’nuff said.

49. Peter The Dane February 7th, 2008 at 4:01 am 49

    Mythbuster would be way cool (and I know you’re also a fan)

    I actually like the diversity of the things you cover, sometimes it’s not interesting for me, but other times I hear about stuff I never knew anything about – so that’s cool.

    I vote for 70% geeky/tech stuff and 30% “other”

50. NeuroMan42 February 7th, 2008 at 6:29 am 50

    Tabula Rasa, Sci-Fi shows, Torchwood, Dr. Who, Mythbusters, Wil Wheaton, hell… interview me.

51. Alberto Lung February 7th, 2008 at 6:39 am 51

    i think you should go to the youtube gatherimg that will be happening on san francisco

52. Dan February 7th, 2008 at 6:58 am 52

    1/ Will Wheaton “chat”
    2/ MYTHBUSTERS!!!

    Love MD though, refreshing break from the de facto EVERYTHING TECH podcasts etc.

54. Jerk Face February 7th, 2008 at 7:51 am 54

    Actually, I think you guys have done a great job so far. It’s a cool mix of tech and random internet cool stuff that just works.

    Oh, and seeing you mention an upcoming bit on particle accelerators filled me with unrelenting joy.

    Keep up the great work!

55. eric f. February 7th, 2008 at 7:52 am 55

    @ Steve, ” if you do gadgets, you’re competing directly with Cali Lewis” … how can you compare the two? I’m at a loss for words. they aren’t even in the same league.

    @ Danny, I’ve already suggested the more specific “how to find a girlfriend that plays video games”. where is it , V?

    @ Alex , it’s all about the burritos, baby.

    How about an expose uncovering the underground gremlin trade?

56. BerBar February 7th, 2008 at 8:24 am 56

    I think you can do a lot of episodes about the many cultures that converge in San Francisco.

    Also, San Joaquin Valley may not be a very nice place, but, there is a lot of oil production in there. I suppose it would be interesting for people to understand how oil and gas are produced. Not the greenest thing, but sure it is needed.

57. Joe February 7th, 2008 at 9:02 am 57

    I think you should go to the Armory , home of Kink.com and do a behind the scenes look at the technological innovation they are using to deliver content.

58. ockraz February 7th, 2008 at 9:09 am 58

    -open source (diy) 3D printers
    -high performance electric cars (the Tesla & any research)
    -brainscan (fMRI etc) lie detectors

    I think these would be geektastic.

61. C-Tate February 7th, 2008 at 11:41 am 61

    I have thought a show that covered the “Tech of”. Technology is everywhere. The various sporting events use all kinds of technology. Auto racing, Baseball, Basketball, Football etc.. Even the Australian Open Tennis was amazing to watch the players challenge a call, but to only see a digital reproduction of the play. Stadiums have WiFi for their fans. SF is wireless now? Every where you turn, technology is used. Technology in Manufacturing? Theme parks? And on and on. Boating is big in the Bay Area. Tech has come a long way for boaters. Get a tour during a boat show and check out all the cool gadgets. RV’ing is more techie too. Campgrounds with WiFi, now that’s cool

62. KimW February 7th, 2008 at 12:03 pm 62

    How about (as suggested by Zac Garrett) asking random people on the street techie questions, not always easy stuff like Mac vs Windows, FaceBook or Myspace but some harder stuff like thoughts on net neutrality (not an issue here in SA, we have non lol ), or about Microsoft trying to take over Yahoo.

    Keep the goodies coming, I stream mostly, but the ones I want I download. Thanks V

64. Chris February 7th, 2008 at 1:22 pm 64

    Anything related to Mythbusters.

65. pianoplayer88key February 7th, 2008 at 3:26 pm 65

    Ok.. so this isn’t exactly electronic/tech/computer related, but it IS music related…

    David Rubenstein (in El Segundo, CA, near LAX airport) has built a 12′2″ grand piano, and is working on an 8′ piano. I have played the 12′ piano and have to say it’s quite nice. His website is http://www.rubensteinpianos.com – note though that I have no affiliation with him. (Also there’s a few clips of the piano up on youtube – search for Rubenstein R-371)

    It might be interesting to check that out. I don’t know when / if the Video Game Pianist (Martin Leung) would be in the area, but it’d be interesting to have him (or someone else who’s as good of a pianist as he is) play a few Mario tunes on it in a Mahalo show.

66. Bort February 7th, 2008 at 4:03 pm 66

    Lose the background music. If I want to listen to music I have my own to listen to thankyouverymuch. Crappy music playing over and drowning out a mediocre interview doesn’t make it better. It makes me want to stab my AppleTV.

    And you can’t go wrong finding and interviewing a zombie holocaust survival expert.

77. Jeremiah McCoy February 9th, 2008 at 7:49 am 77

    as far as geeky subjects

    LARPing, geeky way to spend the weekend outdoors.

    An intro to MMO’s how to get into them for those dont know much about them

    Comic collecting.

    Popular podcasted fiction authors like Scot Sigler, J.C. Huitchins, or Seth Harwood.

    An intro to dungeons and dragons(what?…I bet you know geeks who play now)

    How to make a podcast?

    Tour of the science fiction museum.

    Interview Neil Gaiman.

    those would all be good geek subjects.

    I like the kite idea. There are some great tech kites out there from nylon fighter kite designs, to tetrahedron kites like the ones Alexander Graham Bell wanted to use for his airplane. The latest stunt kites and stunting competitions are great as well as kite surfing. I even know one parachute designer who creates scale model kites of his upcoming parachute designs. Robert X Cringely has even written about power kites to generate electricity instead of windmills.

    You should go to Google, take a tour of their campus… see if they really have a five star chef!

    I watch malaho daily from Japan every day.
    To stretch a point, i’d like to see more interesting goods that ordinary people cannot get.

    Topic is irrelavent – I only watch to get my dose of “Veronica Daily”.

    I would love to see behind the scenes at digidesign. Their products are where most our what most of our favorite albums have been recorded on, and they haven’t upgraded their PCI cards in a while. Maybe you’ll get a scope on the next big product in audio recording
    They are in California.

    I would also second MythBusters and add spelunking, zip-lining and Blue Angels. This show doesn’t have what it takes unless breaks the sound barrier! (j/k) Pretty much anything that endangers Ms. Belmont. HAHA!

    I kinda liked your knockout comparison stuff you did for CNET. But that could change a little with explanations of why you’d look for certain things. And what certain things mean. Like S-Video, Component, Composite, and HDMI.

    Behind the scenes with the people who restore movies for DVD. Lowry Digital Images. Seems like ti would make for a fun/interesting episode.

88. TDude February 11th, 2008 at 9:21 pm 88

    Big fan! How about:
    Stalking William Shatner.
    TOS Fanboy!
    LLAP
    P.S. I enjoy geeky with some unusuality on the side:-) Behind the scenes is also good!

    WineLibrary TV would be a good show if you can catch him when he’s in California again visiting Kevin Rose.

90. Bryan Lee February 12th, 2008 at 3:49 pm 90

    There is a ton of Web2.0 companies in Cali. You can interview one of them. Check out http://www.go2web20.net/ for a list of them.

    Being out of Denver, I’d love to see a tour of Scharffen Berger or Sierra Nevada or Anchor Brewing Company. Also, I know this is super touristy but what about doing a perfect irish coffee at the Buena Vista or the fortune cookie factory in Chinatown.

    How about something a bit spacey? check out a few giant telescopes or something like that? or something like SETI maybe.. keep up the great work! )

93. Andrew Mager February 13th, 2008 at 1:29 pm 93

    Wow, so many responses.

    I would like to see you do an episode about cable cars

94. faddah yuetsu February 15th, 2008 at 11:10 am 94

    still equally geeky, but i reiterate — how about a “how to survive a ZOMBIE ATTACK episode? you could feature that huge $600,000 RV again as the ultimate vehicle to make your get-away in, fend off and wait out the coming ZOMBIE NATION.

    Summer Roadtrip! You can visit some of the geek highlights around the country. Here are a couple ideas to get started:

    http://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/dsn/
    Deep Space Network is how we communicate with some of the probes sent into our Solar System and Beyond.

    http://www.meteorcrater.com/index.php
    Meteor Crater in Arizona is an example of outer space coming to meet us. It is an impressive display of what a small meteor can do when it makes it past our atmosphere.

    http://www.norad.mil/
    Fans of War Games, one of the best geek movies, will be interested in knowing where NORAD is. If that is before your time, the entrance to SG Headquarters in Stargate SG1 is filmed at the entrance to the NORAD facility. I think they stopped public tours of NORAD after 9/11, but across town is Peterson AFB (http://www.peterson.af.mil/) which has a museum (http://www.petemuseum.org/) that includes a missile launch command center display similar to the one used at the beginning of War Games.

    http://www.nps.gov/deto/
    There is always the classic Devil’s Tower, used as the centerpiece to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is actually quite a tourist destination with tons of things to see in the vicinity from nuclear missile silos to Mt. Rushmore to Wall Drug.

    These are just a couple examples I could find quickly. I’m sure with some planning you can find lots of geek stops for a very interesting roadtrip this summer.

    Hi Veronica

    How about a feature on container vegetable gardening?

    For a small investment of about $25 and a moderately sunny location you can grow enough carrots and radish or any small vegetables or fruit for week or two per container.

    Needed an 18 and 24 gallon Rubbermaid or similar container cost under $10.00.
    A drill to drill holes in the bottom and sides. Container must have drainage.
    Two cubic feet of GOOD! dirt or Potting Soil.
    Seeds.

    Great fun and tasty.

    Shorten the intro music and graphics…to something like 2 seconds; otherwise, you are doing great. Do a segment on what people are doing at the Apple store…kind of like a quickie documentary…

98. Kato February 25th, 2008 at 9:11 am 98

    How about catching up with Ze Frank to see what he’s been up to since the end of “The Show” last March?

99. Jonathan Allen February 26th, 2008 at 7:10 am 99

    As the 100th poster I think I should be interviewed on Mahalo Daily. I totally find myself really interest! Anyway, just wanted to say love the show and as an Austinite I hope to catch your panel at SXSW. Keep up the good work!
