Refrax and AndyMP:
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 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!
