Good show. I'd like to see more of that video conferencing.

The video conferencing software we used was oovoo - Scott works from a home office in Portland so he has evaluated many different video conferencing packages and has gravitated towards this one. I have to say that after playing with it for just a few calls I already agree with him - it's a really nice interface, seems to be very efficient with bandwidth, and offers some pretty nice capabilities (some of them cost $$ but the basic teleconferencing we did was completely free).

I'd love to have some Niners on soon using this technology. Email me if you have any proposals for what you'd like to talk about. We film on Thursday afternoons Pacific Standard Time so you would need to be available to film then.

The only other show that did that for me recently was Prison Break. The item about the Belgians who created the peeing game was great (awesome jokes BTW, pee-2-pee, streaming video, hillarious). They have been on television over here: they entered their "invention" in the TV contest "De Bedenkers" (The Inventors) where regular (and less regular) people show and promote their inventions. Keep up the good work!


Thanks for the kind words, Tommy! When Dan and I started the show I never dreamed we would be compared to Prison Break. Kind of funny and flattering. Smiley

The Inventors sounds like a cool show - is there a URL I could check out?

regarding that 'A place to pee', that's the craziest ideas i've seen in years, how much time does the average person spend in a urinal? plus, don't you need your hands to pee anyway? what would you use to play games?

Think about it for a few seconds. Yes, exactly.
