Today John Edwards announced his candidacy for President. My posting about it certainly shouldn’t be news to you. As one might expect, it’s been on every major news outlet starting with the morning shows. However, one thing that I did find interesting is Edward’s reaching out to internet culture. Long before the morning shows aired [...]

Not really a proper show, more of a post-Christmas update. With taking care of Kim and traveling most of the state of California in the last few days, I just didn’t have the time (or energy) to prep a [...]

Kim and I are heading out in about an hour for a jaunt to San Francisco. We will be spending the holidays with her family up north in the bay area, so we thought we’d build in a couple of nights in the city to shop and relax. Unfortunately we both have colds, but we’re [...]

This is my once-a-year-Christmas-cheer episode. Full of hope and kindness, and holiday greetings from people like you. I hope you have a wonderful holiday(s) and I’ll be back to my usual sarcastic self next week.

On a technical note, I [...]

Listen to Episode #77, then listen to Jason’s complete letter to the CEO of DirecTV. Share This

A few months ago I was approached by a company called SpotDJ to record some “DJ breaks” for their new product. It is an app that works with iTunes and while you’re listening to your music library will insert prerecorded segments between songs about the artist or song you are listening to. It is a [...]

On last week’s show I asked you all to call in to the voicemail and leave your holiday well-wishes and greetings to whomever you please. So far, the response has been underwhelming. I realize that we’re all busy finishing up our holiday shopping, wrapping gifts, and maybe even traveling great distances for the holidays. Seriously [...]

Kim and I have been churning through the holiday machine this week – the shopping, the wrapping, and the endless lines at the Post Office. Despite the madness, here I am:

Average Joe vs. Dell

I’m in much better spirits this week. Mia is doing 100% better – now we just wait and have her blood re-checked next week to see if the treatment wiped out her liver disease. Thanks to all of you [...]
