Wow Will, your nearly one year old. Congrats on being able to cope with Amber for that long, even though she does keep swearing at you.
Hope you all have a Great Holiday Season and a Fantastic New Year

I have to wonder... Chris Campbell... should we know who he is? friend of the show? developer? internet personality? both?

The store you guys were sitting in front of has incredibly clean windows. Perfectly clear reflection of Brian behind the camera during the web picks. :)
Happy holidays commandNers!

First - great show again ... as always (I'm a long time watcher but first time poster).
Second - a "happy holidays" from the old world to the team and all other viewers!
but what really makes me comment this time, was one of the techtips in this show: the kidizoom camera.
I got really interessted in that little toy when I saw it on your show. My daughter loves to run around with my own digicam (*please dont drop it, honey*) - so I thought that would be the perfect present.
But when I found out about the tech specs (640x480) and saw the sample pics on the vtech site ... omg. Yes, it's a toy and it does so much more (photo-editing, games ...) but "it is a Camera" first hand - and therefore I'd rather classify this toy as cr*p. Every cheesy mobile these days has a better camera built in ... I wouldn't recommend that toy to anyone imho. sorry for the long post, but I had to get that off my chest.
that's it folks
have a nice christmas and a good start into 2008

The word of the year as defined by the New Oxford American Dictionary is apparently "Locavore" but that was announced last month. Old news?

Happy Holidays Amber, Will, Jeff and Brian.
Oh and Amber saying east cost represent, thats pretty funny right there. With that said, it doesnt get much better than the east coast (Newfie heritage here).

Merry Christmas.

Happy holidays to the entire commandN crew! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skills and humor with us. Be safe, see you next year!

BRIAN: Yeah, Chris Campbell is a friend of the show and has helped me with shooting work for my segments in Halifax in the past. He teaches video production at a college here and runs the http://bitdepth.org/ blog.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Happy Holidays, Guys I love watching the show. I also download the mp3 and listen to the show in the car. I was wondering if I am just missing it, or is there no rss feed for the mp3.

Wow, I can't believe I haven't found your site! Great stuff! Sorry about the late post, but Happy Holidays to everyone and Have a good and safe new year!

Hey guys. Was just doing a bit of catchup on my ncasts and have to comment on something that was said in episode 115. On the 10th anniversary of blogging, it was mentioned that there are "good" blogs and "bad" blogs...and we need to take the good with the bad.
I think that the fact that ANYONE with a computer and 'net connection can easily have a global voice is an amazing thing and there is no such thing as a bad blog. This is micro-democracy at it's finest and while we may not always agree or be interested in what someone has to say, that does not make it a bad blog.
Anyways, keep up the great work, love the show and have a great New Years!

I think Amber really sucks as a brunette and should be made blond again for the sake of the show, she also does not answer her emails.
