I found this post on the Twit.tv website to be amsuing.
Here’s a (ahem) taste:
DRINK A SHOT EVERY TIME…
IN GENERAL
* dvorak.org/blog URL is mentioned.
* They mention the “good old days” of The Screen Savers.
* David Prager makes a comment.
* IPTV or Podcasting is mentioned as the way of the future.
* A feature is mentioned that will be removed from Windows Vista.
* Steve Jobs is mentioned as a mad man.
* The “box of crap” is mentioned.
* Someone mentions that they are #1 on iTunes.
* A Google Maps hack is mentioned.
* A teenager is said to have “hacked” something at their school.
* Someone says “nice” in response to a comment.
anyone who listens to the podcast will think this is quite funny.
It goes on and on in great detail actually deconstructing the Twit Podcast. Anyone who dares to contemplate playing this “drinking game” should note that it would kill you from alcohol poisoning.
Twit might be popular in Cali, but I can tell you that not a single soul in Texas knows who Leo is OR Twit for that matter. Yet, these same individuals were probably watching screensavers when it was on tv. Odd, eh ? Nah. Just marketing.
Nobody cares how smart women are ! Are you kidding me ? On TV, or any visual medium, a cue card will make any woman smarter than her counterpart. ‘Tis all perception.
John. Leo needs to do something about the lag in his podcast. I found that when I focused on technology on my graphic editorial (www.thesocialdeviant.com),technology just got too damn boring to cover all the time. When everything is said and done, you just become a voice of the industrial military complex. I’m sorry you guys are stuck with the whole AOL bit. I’d like to hear some cuss words or some talk against “The Man…”
P.S. Screw web 2.0.
HAHAHAHAHAHA That is great. TWIT wouldnt be what it is without you guys (well…of course that’s true). But that big mish mash of personalties is great…and you have John C. “Dvorak Dot Org Slash Blog” to straighten them out when they get to roudy or when leo gets Woz Stricken. This probably sounds retarded and it isn’t something you haven’t heard before but you guys do a great job. Keep up the great work ya twits.
John, looks like the only thing afoot is the eventual shutdown of TWIT. I’m getting the impression even Leo is tiring of it. Too bad if so, it’s a whole lot better than reading Gartner.
BTW, I’d have changed the drinking flag to read “Everytime someone laughs when dvorak.org/blog is mentioned”. I never quite understood why that happened (or still happens). Plugging websites is half the point of these programs, right?
classic TWiT moment: during one show Leo let Wozniak go on and on about something and Dvorak went off to straighten out his office.
From what I can tell Leo is not tiring of Twit in any way. The summer is slow for tech news.
And I’m living proof that those blog plugs work!
Surprised there was no “I get no spam” rule…
Well, I guess I’ll have to stop listening to twit at work.
Don’t start the “TWiT is on it’s last legs” rumour – I need the TWiT!
Ok the last but one show was lousy (for lots of reasons, well two reasons really – two guests who wouldn’t shut the hell up, had irritating voices, and had nothing useful to contribute!)
You know how difficult it is to find decent podcasts – I must have trial 10 or more shows under a particular theme to find one that I actually enjoy listening to… that process is not fun. And the TWiT is *the* weekly tech podcast as far as I’m concerned (ok I do watch the “cranky geeks” on occassion… but that’s a vidcast or whatever you call it lol)
I was listening to TWiT before John joined as a regular. I have to say, that I do like having John there. I may not always agree with him, but he will make people think.
Keep up the TWiT work.
We used to want to drink every time Patrick said, “Let’s take a step back,” on TSS. I like the guy, but that annoyed the crap out of me!
I’m a great fan of Pat’s and I know John’s got a man-crush on him ( “he’s incredibly photogenic” ) but …
I dare you to take a swig every time Patrick says “basically” (a crutch word) or “it’s interesting”. What the hell is so interesting and why don’t I believe you are truly interested !
Great podcasts John, keep ‘em comin’.
God John if I played this game I be legless for the whole weekend as you have turn it into one big ad for this site
