Hey everyone.  I know that I’m taking a week off at the worst time…Post WWDC 2009, but trust me. I really need the week off.  So, instead of the usual show I will be streaming ALL DAY past episodes starting with Episode #58.  That is the first show we did with Rachel.  Hope you enjoy it.  Please feel free to use the live chat as well. Just head on over to the SMACKDOWN LIVE button up at the top.

Live stream will start roughly 7:00 a.m. central June 10th, and will run all day.

I will still post to the blog but I will be back next week relaxed and refreshed.  (And hopefull with a new netbook…cross fingers )

Hi all.  I’ve been a bit sick this week and instead of pushing out a sub par show I think it would be best to take the week off.  However, one fun thing we will be doing is starting Wednesday morning I will be streaming on the SMACKDOWN LIVE page (hit the button on top) ALL of our back episodes starting at the very first episode.  Hope you enjoy as we kick back and relax this week.  See you all next week with another fun filled episode of smacking around.  Cal

We have a whopper of a show lined up.  Rachel Baker, Richard Hay from WindowsObserver.com, Brian Hertizger from Escape Windows Open Apple podcast and yours truly discuss the next round of Microsoft commercials and what may be on the horzizon with Snow Leopard vs. Windows 7.

Hi all.  We are thinking of doing a live stream of the show complete with a live chat room.  We do the show every Thursday night at 8:30 central time.  However, there is a lot of stuff that would have to happen behind the scenes so if there is not a certain amount of interest we wont invest the time and money.  BUT, I personally think it would add a lot to the show if there were some live interaction with you all during the episode.

The live stream would include a pre show ramble, the recorded show, plus some discussion afterward.  Vote below weather or not you would like to participate in a live version of the show.  Thanks in advance for all of your input.

Well, if you have been following us on twitter, (and really if you’re not, give it a try.  Click on the twitter link above) you have heard the announcement that we are going to try the “listen to the show as it happens live” via talk shoe next week.

This will be episode 52 and INVITE ONLY.  We’ll do it this way just to work out the kinks of the system.  Plus, I really want to see how many people are interested in hearing the show live as we do it.

There really will be a few perks to listening to the show live:

1) There is a lot of funny stuff that happens that gets edited out.

2) Beau and David tend to say somecool stuff before I hit record.

3) It tends to be…um…shall we say uncensored.

4) IF THIS WORKS WE WILL TURN IT INTO A LIVE TALK SHOW WHERE YOU CAN TALK BACK TO US.

So, if you would like the invite, email me at cal@pcmacsmackdown.com and let me know you want in.  I will send all that sign up the invite a few days before the show.

To listen to the show after the invite you will dial into the number either on your phone or skype.  There is also a VOIP option with an ip address.

Stay tuned.
