Yes, you read the title correctly. I’m actually doing production notes. Been a while eh? Yes, I did just write eh. I blame our special guest this episode. So far everything is running smoothly. I’m very happy with the way this episode is coming out. We have some really solid segments either in the can or on the deck, and our sketch shoot tomorrow is going to be so much fun. We’re also happy to be harboring a Canadian in studio. Yes, the clever Jenn Cutter of OpenAlpha is joining us for some Hak.5 and OA fun, and she brought Guitar Hero. Wess has been practicing his micro to no end, it’s amazing he’s available to direct a segment at all .

I love the image quality of Jenn’s Canon XL2, but the green lens flare has got to go!

Can’t wait ’till the 5th!

Just for fun. Hope you get it, if not go watch Pure Pwnage.

Friday night I was on the Computer America show to talk about Hak.5. Unfortunately the show was plagued with technical difficulties throughout the night. Half hour in the board operator could not get me on as the phone network was down in their area. Finally, co-host Carey Holzman calls me from his cell phone, puts it on speaker, and holds it next to the mic. It works slightly better than tin cans and string.

Download the train wreck here: Hour 1 MP3, Hour 2 MP3.

We’ve been invited on again and I’m sure next time it won’t sound so horrible.

Hak.5 will be on the Computer America radio show with Craig Crossman and Carey Holzman for at 10pm EST (-5 GMT)/ 7pm PST. Computer America is “America’s longest-running nationally syndicated radio talk show about computers”. You can tune into the radio broadcast if it’s carried in your area or listen to the Internet stream.

I’ll make the MP3 available here tomorrow. This is a live call in show so feel free to join in!
