This week’s Weezy and the Swish is punctuated with an exceptionally creepy photograph, but also there is discussion of Martin Sargent and his new site, [ http://www.sargeworld.com/ ] as well as apparent broken blogging promises to Laura, and much more. Pretty straight forward from where I sit. Head on over and download it:

This week’s Diggnation comes to us a bit early, but it’s no dissapointment. Topics this week include the riot down in Virginia for 50-dollar iBooks, research being done into Crocodile immunity to HIV and what it could mean to humans, the triumphant return of Call for Help to the United States and Kevin Rose’s subsequent twice-a-week appearances on the show, the end of DVD-shrink, and DiggNation T-shirts, among much more. The video isn’t up yet, but last week’s is already available. Enjoy!

This week’s Command-N is the big one! We see the winner of the “Your video for a shuffle” contest, and much much more, including the web picks and the new “thumbs-up/thumbs-down” rating approach that Amber and Mikey are taking to some new web content. It looks like Command-N is really coming into its own and this is definitely a good thing. This week’s topics look like a new Command-N store, blogger templates, and flickr-licious! I haven’t had a chance to watch this one yet, but no doubt it’s a good one. Head on over and check it out:

Another Weezy and the Swish in the can-this week is a momentous occasion; another one of our beloved podcast/net shows that has reached the 10 episode mark, and are still going strong! This week’s promises to be no dissapointer (and much better for those of you who were turned off by the political bent of last week’s guest), and the lovely ladies cover topics like emasculation, a DJ who was beaten for playing too much “gay music,” and much much more. Check it out:

Another lovely episode of DiggNation is up and ready to go! This week’s topics include the infamous TPS reports, Pirates of Silicon Valley being released on DVD, Google getting into the IM business, sex tips for geeks, the passing of Peter Jennings, MS giving up on the whole Genuine Advantage program, and more. Looks like a good good show, so don’t hesitate to download it now.

I realized that since I do the podcast roundup on Mondays, I post the direct download link for the DiggNation mp3s, but later in the week they manage to post the link and torrent for the videos, so I’ll go ahead and start linking the media download page, so those of you who come back later in the week can click on the same link and grab the video. I usually wind up downloading the podcast early in the week, and come back for the video later. Sound good?

10 episodes and going strong! This week’s Command-N marks the 10 episode mark, and personally I think Amber and Mikey have come a long way in the past 10 episodes and are delivering some real solid (but still entertaining) technology content and news. Definitely good stuff. Apparently shot during the big TechTV meetup in Toronto, this week’s video is full of hilarity and at least one notable cameo appearance, so it should definitely be good watching. Use the mirrors, bu the way, they’re getting slammed right now.

My bad! I’m late on this one. The most recent Weezy and the Swish was actually posted on Monday, but since I didn’t see it right away, I figured I’d wait and totally missed it. I apologize!

Anyway, the newest episode is up and definitely a good one. This week features Bob Cowsill, of The Cowsills fame [ http://www.robinrecords.com/cowsills/ ] which has ignited quite the political controversy over at the Weezy and the Swish site. Regardless of how you feel, head on over, download the podcast, and enjoy!

Weezy and The Swish Episode 9 // August 8, 2005 – [ episode notes | download ]

This week’s Command-N is up and ready to download, and while this week is no blooper reel, it’s definitely amusing. This week Amber and Mikey have an exclusive interview with Ray S. from iPodderX [ http://www.ipodderx.com/ ], tips on how to put linux on your iPod, the weekly web picks, chat about Yahoo’s acquisition of Konfabulator and subsequent free release, and Apple’s release of the Mighty Mouse. As always, the video is a treat to watch, and Amber and Mikey have the most interesting dynamic to watch. Head on over and watch:

They were a little late last week, but I didn’t mean to completely forget the release of their most recent podcast! Looks like they’re a little behind now, but that’s okay-I’m glad to get my hands on the hilarity at all. Episode 8 is up and ready to download; this week the discussion centers around why the podcast was late, everyone’s weekly activities, and all the usual tidbits that you’re all but accustomed to. I haven’t listened to it yet so I don’t have any more details, but as usual I’m sure you won’t be dissapointed.

A brand new DiggNation is up and ready to go, and it looks promising! This week’s DiggNation lists off the best 5 torrent sites, the ugliness that is the new AOL Instant Messanger Beta (which apparently has ads all over the place), Harrison Ford is going to go ahead and be Indiana Jones in the new movie (awesome), Apple’s Mighty Mouse [ http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/ ], and much, much more. It’s looking awesome, and I can’t wait. Check it out:

DiggNation Episode 6 // August 5, 2005 – [ episode notes | download ]

This week’s episode of Command-N looks like a blooper reel of the previous episodes. Not sure how much content is involved, especially since I myself haven’t had a change to watch it yet (the early week blitz of podcasts and video is amazing!) but it look promising and good for a few if not many laughs. Should prove to be a good hilarious beginning to the work week, and don’t forget the Command-N “Your Video for a Shuffle” contest [ Your Video For a Shuffle ] going on right now, for all of you amateur and not-so-amateur cinematographers out there!

Anyway, check out the most recent Command-N!

Command-N Episode 8 // August 1, 2005 – [ episode notes and download links ]

Finally! A new Systm to help the hours pass by. Systm is always good stuff, and this one is no exception. This episode is all about cables, and reveals a professional production secret; that pros dont buy those expensive monster cables and whatnot that you see in Radio Shack and Best Buy at ridiculous prices-they make their own! This epsiode of Systm aims to show you how to make your own high quality AV cables, organize them, and get professional quality sound and video out of homemade cabling, and make it pretty while you’re at it. Looks good, and as always a how-to from Kevin and Dan is more than welcome. Check it out:

This week’s DiggNation has been moved, so it looks like Kevin Rose and company are finally really starting the campaign to get all of their franchises and programs under the same banner-that banner being Revision3. [ http://www.revision3.com/ ] Don’t worry, the old DiggNation.com url will take you right where you need to go though, so no worries there.

Regardless, this week’s DiggNation is up and ready to download, and includes commentary and review on stories like Yahoo’s aquisition and subsequent free release of Konfabulator, the release of Microsoft Windows Vista beta 1, Firefox hitting the 75 million download mark, and much much more. Check it out:
