That means I didn't understand anything I heard or read. But I did notice that Ben did a hell of a lot more talking than you. I wonder what the significance of that is. Just trying to stir up a little controversy, that's all. I just read this entire post while listening to you on the podcast with Toby and Ben Relles.

You have a supernatural ability to crank out content 2. You have cloned yourself (at least twice) 3. You don't sleep How do you do it man? That being said, your 2008 insights give me hope, but also make me nervous. Since Link and I have basically committed to this online video thing full-time, it's comforting to think that some of the competition will thin out, but it's a bit daunting to think how we're going to keep our heads above water throughout this year. Ah, sweet, sweet insecurity. Thanks for always speaking wisdom in to these issues that are close to my heart. Nalts, I’m beginning to think that either:

I have been pondering these same things. I wonder how long it is gonna be before the computer and the TV are one single machine. I'm calling 5 years (tops), before complete melding. Nalts,

I have high hopes for the Android phone OS and the opening up of the phone networks. Verizon wants $5/month per phone for unlimited texting! What a rip-off!
