Hi All,

Tech TV did another segment today at my place. This one is about the Pioneer DVD/TiVo combo unit. I KNOW that my empeg inside mlord's dock is in a lot of the shots. It will start airing on November 24th. Show is called Tech TVs top 20 holiday gifts or something. Check it out.

Geez, they sure do like you. Maybe you should become a host, or at least get on their payroll as a "regular guest."

I'd like to check it out, but since COMCAST SUCKS A FAT ONE, I can't get TechTV. Sure, I could switch to Dish Network or DirecTV, except then I can't get my local sports station that carries all the local teams. All because Comcast can skirt FCC rules because Comcast's TV signals are terrestrial. Bastards. So I have to choose between my love of geeky programming and my love of sports... Or pay for both, which would be ridiculous. Grrrrrrrr.

Cooooooooool. Even got the little blue light blinking (or catching some light from your camera's flash.)

Andrew Hawn was the guy that originally reviewed the empeg on Tech TV and he immediately recognized it. I told him that I was pissed at him when he gave his review. He said it was overpriced...

Laughing out loud at pic of the host messing with the fly on his pants. Nothing better than knowing a TV star "puts on his pants one leg at a time like everyone else".

He seems like a really great guy on the TV show, I'm sure he's just as cool in person. You're a lucky guy, Jon.

He is very cool in person. I don't think that guy stops smiling!

How do you get so many connections to the station, Jon?

Haha. Well, first of all, the Segway has gotten me a few segments, plus, they film right around the corner on the same block as my place. I've also made friends with the reporter, so that helps too...

Oh goodie!

SWMBO is pleased to see her handiwork sitting there.. (she did the final assembly on nearly all of the docks).

Cheers!

Overpriced, bah. If you had to choose which to live without, your empeg or your segway, which would you choose?

My favorite "gadgets" are in this order:

1) empeg
2) TiVo
3) Segway
4) Treo 600
5) Audrey
6) Plasma
7) Digital camera

Think I'm outta gadgets...

- Jon

Thanx Tony - fixed the list...
