TWiT is the biggest part of how I keep up on tech news. Now you know my secret. Okay, so it wasn't such a secret. It's easy to listen to TWiT at work, in the car, on my phone...now if I could just pipe it into the shower... (you only think I'm kidding). Today's LA Times Technology Blog features a profile of TWiT's helmsman Leo Laporte:

Felicia Day on TWiT!
If you've read this blog at all, you know I'm a fan of Felicia Day and a big fan of TWiT.tv. This past week was like Christmas because Felicia Day was on not one, but two, TWiT shows!

New lows of geekiness...but I like it
I spent a good chunk of Monday keeping an eye on the streaming video of TWiT.tv's studio revamp as they set up a new lighting grid. Riveting, I know. Yes, I'm kind of pathetic. You can now watch the entire process in the much faster time-lapse version.
If you're not familiar with TWiT (named for This Week in Tech, their original show), they're kind of like CNN For Geeks, complete with live coverage of geeky events. I discovered TWiT just a few months ago, when I had a bout of nostalgia about TechTV and started poking around in Google. I found that TechTV didn't really die, it just changed forms! There was Leo Laporte! There was Patrick Norton! There was John C. Dvorak (gosh, I used to read his PC Magazine column in high school)! And the longer I watch, the more TechTV alums keep showing up. It's geek heaven.
TWiT has a lot of shows, but I think my favorite is This Week in Google - you should check it out.
Maybe I think I need to look into getting one of those things...what do you call them?...you know....oh yeah, a life!
Nah....I'm off to watch TWiT live!

The Making of a Super Bowl Commercial
Somehow I missed this commercial during the Super Bowl. I'm sure it has nothing to do with me being a big nerd who was madly tapping away on the netbook in the middle of a sports bar filled with people. Apparently, even though I'm generally such a distracte-bunny, if you put me in a distracting enough environment, I come swinging round the other side and can really focus. I got more work done on my work in progress during a few hours in the midst of Super Bowl revelry than I have since NaNoWriMo. Who knew? (and I'm sure it had NOTHING to do with the fact that the bar's wifi was locked down so I couldn't get on the internet)
Anyway, today I came across Leo Laporte on TWiT, interviewing the guys behind "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like." I was fascinated by the work that that went into this commercial. Watch the video to find out if it was one long shot or CGI trickery, while I go clean the drool off my keyboard
