Okay, so I know it's been at least a week since I have returned from the great state that is Texas, but I only just saw this video today, thanks to Google Alerts.

At any rate, if you saw only the first Qik video Neal and Cali did from outside of Fry's you never got the end part, basically my reaction afterwords.

Special Thanks to Dave Curlee of RealcookN.tv, Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell of Geekbrief.tv, and Nick McKinney of thisweekinpodcast.com for letting me have a fun time.

So here is the video for you. Enjoy!

That's right the not so jolly green giant is back on the big screen, hopefully to HULK SMASH the previous boring version to smithereens.

It's been a while since Black Shadow has finished it's run here at SSdN (That's short for http://stevesaylor.net), but for some of you, roughly about 524 of you have been left in the dark as to the final moments of Black Shadows fate. Does he die? Does he defeat the Demons from taking over the world?

It's been a rough ride for our beloved blind technologically advanced hero, and it's an even rougher ride for those who are listening.

Suffice it to say that is my fault and then it wasn't.

Let me explain, I released Episode 14 of Black Shadow about a month ago and it's been hard letting this story go. I have lived and breathed this story for over a year now and updating the Podiobooks.com version of the book is literally the last part left in this year long journey. As soon as the final episode goes live, that's it. The book is finally finished. Part of me doesn't want this to finish, and yet I know it must.

So I am here to tell you all that the final episode of the Podiobooks version of Black Shadow has been sent to the great team at podiobooks.com and soon (hopefully before mid-week)you shall hear the final chapters of my very first book.

Thank you all for being patient, thank you all for listening, and as always I remain obediently yours!

For those who are from the US and are reading this, you don't know how lucky you have been for the past two years, and why we Canadians have been jealous and secretly hating you all. You have had access to the iTunes Movie store for the past two years and it's only now you decided to share.

That's right iTunes Movies have come to Canada (and the UK), and I'm here to give my official review of the Movie Store, and commentate on something new that you Americans don't get that we do. Ha!

Sorry....

I have been waiting anxiously to be able to review this for you guys and gals for the past week or so. This is by far the coolest thing I have ever received to review for you my friends. Thanks to Miranda for getting this to me.

Good news is, if you are in Canada, today is the official launch of The Flip Video Family to the Great White North! You can buy the Flip Video's at WalMart's now and in Futureshop stores in mid June!

First of all, a Summary of the Flip Video. I did this as a Geek Gadgets Review for This Week in Geek. This was recorded on the Flip Video Ultra, as well as edited using the built in Software.

Throw the idol, and I'll throw you the whip, it's that time again folks, time to put back on our fedoras and our leather jacket and take a wild ride that is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

For those who have been following me on Twitter(and if you're not why aren't you?!), you may have noticed I was doing the snoopy dance last week. Reason why was because I had gotten word from my co-host Mike that he was able to arrange an interview with Wil Wheaton!

Problem was though, for him, he was up north and couldn't do the interview, and if I wanted to, I could do it. So I immediately jumped at the chance, because for those who know me, know that I have been insipired by Wil for a long time. You ever have one of those people in your life that you would love to meet someday and you have been following what they do for several years? Well for me one of those people is Wil.

So last week I went over to the TWiG Studios and sat down for almost an hour long chat with Wil. To be honest, I sounded a lot more nervous than I was. Oh don't get me wrong, I was really nervous, but when I got into the interview, I thought I was perfectly fine. It wasn't until I hear it now that I realize how nervous I actually sounded.

Either way, the interview is now live at http://thisweekingeek.net/node/131 So if you want to check it out and see how nervous I was as Wil and I talked geek, then by all means give it a download. Let me know what you think in the comments too, and please, be gentle.

Oh, here's a link directly to the mp3 if you can't be bothered to go to the link directly.
