Leo Laporte back on TV in the USA.

Several weeks ago, G4 TV started airing episodes of the Canadian version of Leo Laporte's old Tech TV show Call For Help. It's quite good. It's not exactly like the old show, but it has it's own charms and it's DEFINITELY good to see Leo back on TV. I love the tech talk, but I mostly miss Leo. He's kind of like an old friend.

Leo can also be heard on his (and other former Screen Savers) weekly podcast This Week In Tech. You can find out all about it at www.twit.tv.

Revenge of the Screen Savers

A couple of weeks ago, I ran into something WONDERFUL on the web... www.thisweekintech.com. It's the gang from the TV show "The Screen Savers" (from the former TechTV. They get together every Sunday via various audio means and just discuss tech stuff for around an hour. It's wonderful.

I was devastated when TechTV ousted Leo Laporte from his shows, "The Screen Savers" and "Call for Help". Well, the gang is back. While it's not quite as good as the TV show in some regards, it's better in others. At least here, they can do whatever the h**l they want and they don't have any corporate nincompoops telling them what to do!

If you remember "The Screen Savers" or you're just curious now, please check them out.

My Seniors

I'm currently having a club meeting.

I'm here!

My name is Mike aka Monad or the AtomicDwarf. I'm not really a dwarf, but I thought of the names Monad and AtomicDwarf over 20 years ago when I was regularly playing Dungeons & Dragons. I had a dwarven fighter character who I named Monad. Like me, he was typical of his people. While most dwarves were interested in mines, gold and other treasure, Monad was interested in things like magic and space travel. He was a dwarf ahead og his time!

Antway, I figured I'd try this blogging thing to get some of my ideas and opinions recorded. Anyway, I'm glad you decided to join me. I don't know where we're going, but I hope we have fun getting there!
