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!

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

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…

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.

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.

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.

Wow, so many responses.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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