Pandora has an AIR app that give you the option to see what’s playing, pause and radio station buttons.

Finally, Starbucks is offering free WiFi for two hours. I think it’s about time.

A new study tells us the PS3 and Plasma TVs use more power than a refrigerator over the course of a year.

Canned Bacon. Uh…okay.

Small Worlds is a new site in beta. What do you think?

I’m on the skeptical side of the Remote Control Finder.

and now everyone in Tennessee thinks there is a company who makes underwear for geeks!

We released our first GeekBrief.TV episode December 23rd. We didn’t know what we were doing and didn’t figure an audience would come along until we got all the bugs worked out. The audience came fast and we had to learn fast. We still have tons to learn, but that’s not what this is about.

The Brief exceeded its bandwidth and was shut down by our hosting company, so we appealed to PodShow for help. They came to our rescue and we were back up and running within about a week. We also had a Plan B. We purchased some inexpensive bandwidth that would have gotten us back up for a little longer without PodShow’s help. When PodShow stepped in, we still had all that extra bandwidth.

Brian Hardin who produces The Daily Audio Bible Podcast (believe it or not, it’s very cool) was running into some bandwidth struggles of his own. Instead of being shut down, he was being charged more. He was on his way to a monthly bill of about $1000, so we donated our Plan B bandwidth to his show.

Brian was interviewed for a story in The Tennessean about the whole Godcasting phenomenon. The story made the front page and Brian mentioned GeekBrief.TV. Here’s how the paper reported it…

“But, he said, as his site’s popularity has grown, so have its expenses — he has to buy more and more Internet capacity to handle the crowd. Recently, a listener affiliated with Geek Briefs in Chicago contributed extra capacity so the service could continue.”

It’s now becoming increasingly clear that we have to go into the underwear business!

This podcast was one of the things that really compelled us to want to be a part of the PodShow Podcast Delivery Network. Adam Curry and Ron Bloom have been criticized so much, but we really believe in what they’re doing. This is what sold us…

BTW, we posted this here because Adam’s archive is down. You can find it a couple of other places on the Web, but since it was such an influential factor in our decision we wanted it posted here too.
