Enjoyed #126. Amber, really liked the http://beta.booklamp.org/ link. Will try it out on my next read. Jeff, you're a saint for doing this sick! Does Amazon.com also give away any freebies? Will & Amber, the web picks, as always, are excellent. Thanks! To Amber & Will, come on, there are so many beautiful places in Toronto. The alley (while a bit windproof) is just ugly! And that doesn't mean find a new alley!

Big props to Brian and Jeff - both commandN'ers were really sick this week and came out to do the show (in T.dot and Hali, respectively).

Love you guys!

@Brian & Jeff, really feeling your cold, I picked one up last Saturday and still trying to get rid of it.

@Amber & Will, Wow, CommonCraft is really getting a lot of great publicity lately, Cali on GeekBrief has been talking/interviewing them too this week, or maybe it was last week?

@Will, Sorry the sun was in your eyes but its better then having snow in your face. So are you must be a fan of the Totally Rad Show?

@Amber, don't forget to post those pictures of your new studio setup today, you said you would. Would it help if I said 'Pretty Please'? OK then Pretty Please.

@Jeff, Just tried to download the free track for this week, but Apple still wants me to sign up for an account before I can download a free track, why is that?, I know its not your fault Jeff, but WHY??, Oh and is it just me or has the iTunes directory just started using CoverFlow, saw it on the Podcast section on iTunes UK.

Question to you all, So how long do you think it will be before Amazon buys Booklamp.org

@Amber Thanks for uploading an photo of your cool looking office/studio

How all we need is the new AmberMac.Com site to go live and you're be all set for world domination

@Amber & Jeff, Wishing You, Jeff and the rest of the MGImedia team all the best for the future.

Kudos for getting the show out despite the lurgy - get well soon guys!

Any idea what happened with the iTunes version from last week?

[Amber Mac]

@Nev - not sure about last week re: iTunes, will check with Brian! THX :).

Hi, I have a small request: Could you please talk about, "lifestreams" (not necessarily microblogs) and similar services that let users put all their different feeds into one? I'm aware of Jaiku and Tumblr, but from what I understand, there are no privacy controls over them, they either lack search or comments, and have no way to update multiple services at once (such as twitter +pownce + jaiku + facebook stats).

It's frustrating to have so many things going on online and having to subscribe to so many "web 2.0" services and then manually checking/updating each one separately when they all offer similar functionality.

Thanks, keep up the good work :)

Hi Amber, Will, Jeff, and Brian -- just watched episode #126 (another excellent job well done by all!) and it was nice to see the sun on your faces.

I was wondering if, once it has really warmed up over there, you could shoot some eps around some of Toronto's well-known landmarks, by the lake, CN Tower, etc. I know commandN isn't a travelogue but I for one would like to see some of my favourite podcasters in such lovely settings.

Best regards,

Moochie (suffering withdrawal since The Lab went off the air :( )

Get well Jeff.

Hey Will, Amber, and Jeff.
Great episode. I enjoyed the sillyness. Jeff I hope you feel better. Amber I hope you are enjoying San Fran.

Guys what was the object that flashed in the background around 9:20ish It appeared to be a jedi lightsaber battle?!

-Thanks and keep up the great work!

Please forgive the previous post. It was in fact a bird.

[Jeff MacArthur]

Thanks for all the well-wishes - I am indeed getting better as we speak. This coming week's ep is a little gruff but I think definitely not as bad as last week :-) .

Thanks for watching!

Jeff
