Talk Without Pants: Recent Episodes
T. Hesser
Guests: Ken Ray, Jeff Gamet, and Cameron Stiehl. We start by explaining what ergonomics is and learn that standing can burn off extra calories. We then talk at length about the Nike Air Mags that are being auctioned to benefit the Micheal J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research. Tom uses the word "thing" too much and we discuss whether intelligence should ever be labeled as "artificial". Jeff also demands that I steal a lightsaber from Lucasfilm and Cami wants a gold bikini.
Coming soon: Dress me for the week of Macworld.
Also, my apologies for the occasional sound drop-outs...which is really Skype's fault. Thanks Microsoft.

If you're in the Bay Area, go to the Dark Room to see the show Way to Eden which is a comical look at a classic Star Trek episode.

NOTE: My apologies, but the group performing at The Dark Room is NOT the same group as Improvised Star Trek group. Sorry guys.

Shorter, interim episode due to the holiday. I talk about the Blu-ray release of the Star Wars movies that Lucasfilm horked up. Ok, I rant about who shots first and other changes.
