Episode 50 (Golden Anniversary Episode) of the Cast of Geeks is a guys only journey into the latest geek junk, as the resident voice of reason, Lisa Picarille, was unable to make it.

We rambled on about everything from Google Latitude to Disqus spam to Clickbank to Sam Harrelson’s mysterious sale of Cost Per News to TweetLater and a whole mess of other stuff.

GeekCast 41: My 2 Year Old Son Has an iPhone

Shawn Collins — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 05:34:25 +0000

We had a couple false starts on this GeekCast show (darn Skype!) but finally got it all together for the full cast of Jim Kukral, Lisa Picarille, Sam Harrelson and Shawn Collins to chat it up about the latest geekonics.

There is a bunch of Google Android, iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, ASUS, Disqus, RackSpace, Jason Calacanis, Tumblr and more.

Prepare for a treat at just 3:25 into the show. Shortly after, Lisa was so overwhelmed that she jumped off the show and never returned.

Show notes:

T-Mobile delivers the G1 (aka Android) phone
Should a 2 year old have an iPhone?
Time for an iPod Touch
Taking the ASUS (pronounced a-seuss) to bed and getting a crappy AT&T signal
IntenseDebate and WordPress, Disqus (pronounced discuss) out?
Jason Calacanis is upfront about tough times at Mahalo
Rackspace Acquires Jungle Disk
Jim joins the IZEA Advisory Board
Britney Spears on Twitter
Ryan Adams on Tumblr (no more? http://dradamsfilms.com/ is dead)

Affiliate Thing Podcast – April 24, 2008

Shawn Collins — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:45:22 +0000

The April 24, 2008 episode of Affiliate Thing was a solo turn for me, as Lisa Picarille was busy at the Web 2.0 conference.

I covered all of the nuts and bolts involved in launching a new affiliate video blog, including the costs, resources, vendors and services I used to launch the site in a day.

The site is a video blog called AskTheMama.com where my wife is answering questions and talking about products related to pregnancy, babies, nursing, etc.
