TWiT 295 Video — Magical Hand Gesture

It feels like just yesterday I got to join the panel on TWiT, but we're almost due for yet another episode. If you haven't yet caught Magical Hand Gesture, get to it, it was weird and wonderful. Yes, we (Leo Laporte, Brian Brushwood, Becky Worley, Robert Scoble, and I) discussed Color's privacy issue, Amazon's cloud player, Google's +1, and Apple's new commercial. But as you'll see when you come along with us, the week's tech news took a back seat to something I can't really describe...magical? You tell me. All I know is it was so fun I was late to a lobster feed.



TWiT 261 Video — Abandon All HPOA

It was fun and a huge honor to be on TWiT yesterday with Jeff Jarvis (whose forthcoming book will be fascinating), Jake Jarvis (who is simply amazing, I get all Jewish Mother just thinking about him), and of course the unparalleled Leo Laporte. Topics included Google's and Verizon's net neutrality policy statement, Oracle's new lawsuit against Google and its open source licensing implications, a fun discussion about privacy expectations and mug shots, quitting your job in a very public way via the Internet (or pretending to), and more as described here and here.  If I watched it I'm sure it would too thoroughly destroy my illusion we were just shooting the breeze in Leo's living room — so please do so in my stead.
