Tonight I joined Tom Merritt and Roger Chang on East Meets West, their hilarious (and random) podcast. Basically, it was us making fun of people on the Oscars (Crash?? Dude, Ang Lee is totally pissed right now).
You can check out Tom’s SubBrilliant Blog for updates on the show, or you can listen to it here. Hopefully they’ll let me come back and make more snarky comments to Roger.
Speaking of podcasting news, Molly was featured on the TWiT podcast on Friday night over at the Apple Store in San Francisco! Ryan and Eric were there too, and complained about not being included in the conversation. That’s what you get for not being related to TechTV in any way, I guess. None of my pictures came out very well, but I found a set on flickr that were basically what I was trying to get at. She did awesome, and we also got to meet some Buzz Out Loud fans there. Good times.
I finally got the one thing I’ve been wanting FOREVER…a TiVo. Do you know what this means?
1. No more missed Project Runway (shut up), Dirty Jobs or Best Week Ever (although.. it is now on podcast form).
2. A “real” excuse to stay in on a Friday/Saturday night, because WoW doesn’t cut it with my friends anymore (”Sorry, gotta stay in, I’ve saved up a a season of “So You Think You Can Dance?”)
3. I can record sporting events and fast-forward through said “event” to the good commercials.
4. I can finally watch the CNET VOD content that we work on.
So this is the special that I got: 40 Hour TiVo Series 2 for free, with 12-month pre-pay subscription. Not bad! Naturally, the second I announced on the podcast that I bought a TiVo, here is the response:
“Now that Veronica bought a TiVo, the Apple DVR will be out tomorrow!”
Of course. Luckily for me, there was an article posted on TUAW today that said I don’t have anything to worry about. *phew* It would be just my luck, wouldn’t it?

Another one from the vaults of the Buzz Out Loud flickr group! Listener Foofy made this up, and I must say… this is a book I would put some money down for. Bacon and fry sauce recipies?? What more could a girl want?
