I saw that!

That would be cool if it was a regular podcast. The Giz Wiz is cool. He's got lots of cool gadgets to play with. I saw him a few times on Call For Help before frackin' G4/TechTV pulled the plug on their show.

Thank goodness for the Radio Leo podcast. If he didn't have that, I'd lose track of just how many podcasts/vidcasts he does.

I think it is...

Going to be regular, they said they are going to do one every day. SO, we shall see if it holds true!

Just a little bit of Leo, every day, keeps the _____ (?) away. (RIAA? lol)

Unfortunately

Where I live we can't get cable. Can get satellite, but, can't afford it at the moment.

Since I only get like 5 channels (that actually come in) (7 on a clear day), I don't watch tv. Too many good pod/vid casts to watch/listen to.

Yeah, I know ...

Guess I'll just have to find a bitTorrent of his shows somewhere.

Just listened to the first episode ...

... and am listening to the second episode now. I don't really like the theme music. I guess they were going for the circus-type theme. Other than that, I'm definitely digging the gadgets the Giz Wiz is reviewing. But this should definitely be a vidcast. It's hard to imagine the products by just listening.

The theme music made me want to kick puppies.

Music like that makes me hate happiness.


Also, "Giz Wiz" is such a terrible name.


I always read it as "The **** Wizz ****!"


I mean really.

LOL!!

The theme reminds me of Ringling Bros. Makes me think unicorns, elephants, and clowns (sorry for the 'c' word for those of you who don't like them). Doesn't make me think about gadgets one iota.
