Episode 44 of the GeekCast show was sans Jim Kukral and Lisa Picarille, so Sam Harrelson and Shawn Collins did the only logical thing – they rambled on for about two hours.
Plenty of things were covered, including blog themes for WordPress, getting e-mail on a Blackberry while flying, Jim Kukral rebranded, and Cisco Systems geeking up the new Yankee Stadium.
Also, some talk on Diggnation audio vs. video podcasts, Flickr as a venue for affiliate links, giddiness over the Amazon Stripe, and the fake Bluetooth infomercial thing.
Show notes:
- Jim Kukral: Blend This Book | JimKukral.com | The Biz Web Coach
- Unique Blog Designs
- Cisco to provide video gear to new Yankees Stadium
- Diggnation
- Using Flickr as an Affiliate
- As Seen on TV
- Loud ‘N Clear Personal Sound Amplifier
- PubCon 2008 Recap

I tried Unique Blog Designs when they first started out, and I knew nothing about wordpress. I had a really bad experience in both customer service and guidance, and ended up scrapping the whole theme. I wouldn’t go back. I think I spent 800 bucks for what I now realize is an easily modified free theme.

I just had a call with them today and should have a new look by the end of the year.
I think this Listen Up is what you were searching for on AsSeenOnTV and I totally know the creepy ass commercials you're talking about.

Or, this one looks just like a bluetooth, so maybe it was this one?

It might be the Stealth one, but I thought it was a different name.
I've been watching daytime TV since we did the show in the hope I'd see it again.
No luck so far – just a ton of Billy Mays.
I've only seen commercials for the Listen Up one, and just found the Stealth one when I searched for the Listen Up. Maybe they only show that commercial on the East Coast?
I finally saw the commercial again – it's called Loud 'N Clear – http://www.getloudandclear.com/
Some reasons why we should all order now…
<ul>
<li>Never miss another word at lectures, movies, shows, or even church
<li>Turn up the volume on what people around you are saying
<li>Listen at the level you want without disturbing others
<li>Hear a pin drop from across the room
<li>Turns ordinary hearing into extraordinary hearing
</ul>
Not only that, but it employs micro technology used by private investigators.
Thanks for sharing youtube videos.
