Apple Phone Show

So I'm really jones'in for the ole' iPhone...hopefully my remaining connections in the Apple retail universe (I was opening staff at the SoHo store after all!;) can come through with one for me on opening day. I'm about to do some recon at the Queens Blvd AT&T store as well (all ATT stores are rumored to get 20 phones).

I'm linking to the 'Apple Phone Show' blog and podcast in the hopes that I'll win another one in their contest. [and you really should check out the TWIT family if you haven't already]

Actually, since I know some people out there are podcast impaired, here is my rotation:
This Week In Tech
This Week In Science
Talking Metal
Diggnation
The Totally Rad Show
MacBreak Weekly
This Week In Media
The Apple Phone Show
Muldower in the Morning
KFI Tech Guy

Datsun 280-Z "TURBO DRIVEN!!!11!!"

Shop Boyz

For whatever reason, this song is totally retARTed, yet extremely catchy. Bass hit for the summer if'n you ask me...and they get extra points for the GTO in the video. Ryan and I heard this back to back on multiple stations in bmore over the last weekend.

Vans 'RAD' pack

Not sure what color to get, the 'Team RAD' or 'Mongoose'.

Do the right thing: Sesame Street Edition

Ultimate 'Yacht Rock' 2007 Playlist

I dunno what has come over me, but Y and I made a CD of some classic soft rock that is hittin' for the summer! She was an invaluable help with track selection, because she's always had a soft spot for a good ballad. Nate and I took a trip to 'Dubs on the Lake' in western MD last weekend and it was in heavy rotation the whole time. I used to actively hate some of this stuff (and the whole genre actually), but something about these smooth, yet rockin', grooves, achieves the right balance of cheese, overblown 70's production and hairstyles.

Here is the current playlist, don't front:

Dubs on the Lake

McHenry, MD - basically as far as you can go in Maryland before you hit W Virginia. It's a nice location for a car show, but because of the scenery and lack of a central 'cruising' strip, the whole thing is a bit chill. The best parts were driving the backroads, and staying dead even to a fairly high speed with a modded Grand National on the way home.


Baby birds in the mens room.

A bunch of PA dubbers flagged us down while we were bombing around the lakefront backroads, they gave Nate some beers and we talked some VW's. They had a 1987 16v Mk2 Gti, and a 1989 'Helios' Jetta that were bone stock and in great shape. If only I had a bigger garage...and a spare 3k.



The car of the show: a 1979 diesel Rabbit restored into a 1976 Euro Gti. This car was PERFECT, and it had an amazing 16v motor on carbs to boot. The owner built the entire thing in his garage.

Copper with urine patina. It's been done before, but the car looked cool.
