Pretty basic monday, catchup on weekend podcasts.

America's Got Talent - Episode 5 - This show is best when viewed recorded so you can skip everything that isn't a performance and even skip some of the performances.  I really liked the Yodeller, All That and the Harmonica kid.

America's Got Talent - Episode 6 - Shocker, I was right, that three that I called were the final three with the harmonica kid being the judges choice and the yodeller beating out All-That for America's choice.  Actually, I say shocker because if you're reading this there is no way that you could know if i'm lying, but I really did call the top 3, and Lace was there to prove it.

Criss Angel: Mindfreak - Celebrity Minds - Criss apparently reads some people minds including Ice Cube and Vince Neil.  Then he put a restaurant of people under hypnosis.  It wasn't the best of episodes.

Mythbusters - Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1 - The guys attempt to bust or prove some Hollywood caper myths including using magnets or suction cups to climb an air duct and how to defeat laser systems and using gum to keep down a preassure sensor.  It was pretty funny, at times, but not one of the best I've ever seen.  Of course Hollywood makes the movies ridiculous, that's the point.  Oh, watching Adam try to climb the side of a 23 story building was kinda neat.

Blade - Descent - I'm really enjoying this show.  It's has a bunch of plotlines but one major plot that they're trying to "solve."  Good action and I just like vampires.

Diggnation - Eipsode 54 - Yet again the guys start OFF the show drunk.  It's kinda neat.  Some guys stole my idea and sent in some hombrew for Kevin and Alex :)  They're pretty drunk and the show gets off topic pretty quickly but there was some good news in there too.  It's an okay episode.  Kevin thinks it is just as expensive to live in San Fransisco as New York.  I think he's smokin' something, although I know that Cali prices are out of control.

Inside the Net - Episode 28 - I didn't quite finsih this but listened to most of it.  It was pretty good, an interview with the creator of typepad, one of the first bloging software out there (and what Wil Wheaton is currently using.)

dl.tv - Episode 77 - The guys are still trying to figure out what's causing the problems with Limelight and some ISPs.  They're guessing that it's a problem with some ISPs basically blocking or slowing down Limelight's stuff since they also serve YouTube's data.  An Intel rep said that the Cell processor (what's going to power the PS3) is only getting 10-20% yields, which is really really terrible, and I'm not sure, if this is correct, how the PS3 is going to ever be built even for the $600 price tag they're saying.  Some interesting theories about what's going on with distributing HD movies, some people think that we'll be buying Hard Drive with HD content on it.  Also some more Net Neutrality talk, Robert and Patrick were called shills of the content industry, which I disagree.  There was a video game review, which always brings the show down and I usually skip it and did this time too. 

Crankygeeks - Episode 18 - Cell phones and driving is the first crank subject.  It's a wierd thing because just about everyone I know hates it when other people are on the cell phone while driving, yet will still use their own because it's convenient.  I've used a Hands Free device for just about as long as I've had a cell phone, and I highly recommend them, but I know they're not for everyone.  Some talk about how Microsoft is too big of a company to create a real "iPod killer" which I actually agree with.

Twit - Episode 62: Lazy Sunday - Interesting discussion in the beginning about the TV networks having their lowest week ever in TV Viewership.  But what's really interesting is that these guys think it's great because more people are watching and listening to podcasts and vidcasts instead of traditional media.  The RIAA is shutting down lyrics sites.  Figured out why ... Gracenote just signed a big fat deal with the RIAA to offer lyrics on the web for a fee.  Assholes going to monitize one more thing.

Command-N - Episode 53 - I think I have figured out what the problem with this show is.  It's a scripted show that they try to make look like it's off the cuff.  It's not, it's scripted.  Diggnation, dl.tv, etc have "scripts" as in we're going to talk about this at this time, but they're still pretty much live and real.  But this one I think isn't or at least doesn't feel like it.  Pretty nice primer on photo/print/web based imaging and pixels etc.  I loved the bus at the end of the show, I think doing the show outside is kinda lame.  Then again, I don't have my own or pay for studio time, etc, so I'd probably do it the same way.

Geekdrome - Episode 34 - There is a special guest and it is Kyle Cease, a standup comic.  Jon encourages the guests to go political to piss of the fanbase :)  Dan thinks the movie was boring, but he also thought the first one was pretty boring.  Both Dan and Jon thought it was way too long.  I disagree, I thought it was pretty good, cept I hated the ending.  The show was kinda okay, but as funny as Kyle was, I thought he brought the show down because he didn't really know about anything that was going on.  Unlike the Kevin Smith episode where he knew as much ore more than the hosts.
