Cali, I too admire the professional nature that both Hulu and Boxee displayed through this sad event, but I feel it deserves a lot more time than it has gotten here and elsewhere. Its definitely a lose-lose for both parties and a sad situation.

BTW, great belch! Keep up the good work with the podcast. You and Neal both do a great job.

Gotta say that was a little disappointing (‘cept for the outtake)…

I assume “old media” refers to anybody spending more than $1.50 on production costs and is desperately trying to find a way to pay for it in the current environment. The idea that “old media” hates “new media” is ridiculously simplistic. Somebody in a decision-making position just needs to be convinced that there’s no monetary downside in continuing the Hulu/Boxee connection.

And the ring-in-ring of flashlights actually bothered you? We gotta find you some more important things to be bothered by.

My kids replayed “the burp” at least 25 times. I think it’s their favorite geek brief moment ever.

Regarding flashlights, you should also check out any of the Surefire flashlights. They are typically designed for tactical/LE/military use, but they are very bright, and very not typical flashlights.

I so want the Omnia HD. I have the omnia on verizon and it’s a great phone. With SPB 3.0 that’s coming out soon it will be uber sweet, but the screen on the Omnia HD makes me drool.

BTW, love your podcast, I’ve subscribed since the early days.

Hey Cali,

For the swag contest, I can not see any more comments after February 18th, 2009 at 5:45 pm. I submitted my entry after that time and it’s not showing up.

Ooops…just saw on twitter your update about your friend. Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

2. Son’s school (attends pre-K) is having an auction to raise money would like to use your bag of stuff as an item they can use in Online Auction
3. If deemed not worthy, How about Cali autographed photo for the school auction (and one for my son – LOL)

Thanks again for the help with Visual Hub

OMG, Cali the outtake at the end was hilarious, thanks for the laugh.

Seriously finally a flashlight that works, how did we ever put up with the double ring problem all these years. Was the double ring problem a technological barrier or something for the past 6 decades?

Sorry to hear about your friend.
