June is going to be one of my busiest months ever (and here I thought March was… silly me!). Here’s a rundown:

2nd Annual Denver New Media Summit:
Tomorrow I’ll be on a panel with Brad Feld of the Foundry Group, Phil Weiser of CU Law School, and J.B. Holston of Newsgator. Should be an interesting discussion on the future of media! Also, it’s my first time in Denver (other than the airport, that is).

Pixelodeon:
This is going to be a really fun event down in LA! I’m curating a selection of technology videos with Bre Pettis of MAKE, and edited by Eric Rey. Our section is called “D.I.Y. with a Side of Robots.”

Utah New Media Conference:
Ryan and I will both be speaking at this event, with a keynote address by Robert Scoble. I don’t know too much about this one, but it sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun!

Phew! I better start collecting some frequent flier miles soon!

Crave this past week was a ton of fun to make. I’m trying to change the format of the show from what it used to be (a few gadgets, white background, etc) to be more about using the gadgets that we talk about on Crave in a fun way. Let me know if you like this kind of episode better (see also: The raver T-shirt experiment) than how we used to do them.

We’ve launched the CNET TV blog, finally! It’s where you go to find out what new projects we’re working on, give suggestions, hear about the weird stuff that happens around here all the time, and even discover fascinating new trivia facts about the hosts (did you know Tom Merritt likes corn chips? I didn’t). We’ve only got a few posts up there for far, but it’ll be growing quickly!

UPDATE: Blarg. Comments on that blog are in the works. If you have an idea for my post here, feel free to comment!

G4 was really fun yesterday! Everyone was really nice, and I think it was a good show. Yes, there was a little flub in the prompter as some of you noted (hence the awkward pause… ugh, that hurt) but I think we recovered it ok. Dude, getting hair, makeup and wardrobe done frakin’ ROCKS! I wish we could get someone at CNET to do that, but maybe I should just learn to do my makeup better myself… they have classes for that kind of stuff, right? Anyhow, I’m looking forward to going back next Friday too. I just hope my flight doesn’t get delayed like last night and leave me sitting at LAX until 11:40 PM. That was a little annoying.

But anyway, we finally got Guitar Hero 2 at the house, and so we’ve done nothing but play since I’ve been back. Ryan has had more time to practice, so he’s doing a little better. I would think with my mad air guitar skills that I’d be better, but give me some time! The game is amazing though, it’s a ton of fun.

I swear we’re going to podcast today - but not until I get some food in me. More later!
