Congratulations to all involved with PDC2008. Amazing event. Thank you!!!

The Recaps are this developer's little guilty pleasure. I watch all the recaps before any PDC videos!
Jennifer & Mike bring such great energy into 10 little minutes.

Can we continue the Jen & Mike (or Mike & Jen) 10-minute shows after the PDC?

Topic # 1
Global warming. Is it real?

Topic # 2
Why a hybrid Escalade is good?

(just throwing controversial topics out there)

They need a new timer. They set it for 10 minutes and it only lasted 9!

Thanks, everyone, for attending PDC2008! Jennifer and I enjoyed recording these 10- (or 9-) minute weekly updates for you, and the feedback has been fantastic. As you may have heard, Jennifer and I are going to continue the series for our MIX09 event in March (after we take a short break). We loved meeting face-to-face with those of you who were able to attend the event. Thanks for coming up and giving us your comments and suggestions. See you next time!

It was a blast filming these at PDC. Thanks Mike and Ritzi for letting me ask some questions!

Looking forward to seeing the Mix09 Countdowns.
