In this economy, states (and by extension, cities) will do whatever it takes to make money. Especially deficit-prone California, whose financial woes trickle down to San Francisco. This week, Dong discusses his own recent woe with the city and its newest parking-ticket scam.

Things go from bad to worse when Dong learns he can't play a game he's been waiting 10 years for...yet. The Starcraft 2 beta is out, and Dong doesn't have a key! Anyone have a key for little Mr. Ngo? Actually, one of my joys in life is seeing him suffer. Don't … Read more

So Southwest airlines had a good old, fun time with director Kevin Smith this week. Hilarity ensued to be certain, but Eric feels the need to step onto his very worn soapbox about something that, at the end of the day, isn't really important. Entertaining though!

Then, an epic battle ensues between Dong's left and right brains. No matter who wins, we lose.

Finally, hackers get banned. Dong blames Apple and I sit back, relax, and rake in the cash. Just another day for Mr. B Natural.

This week we get all Politico.com as we discuss the impact of a politician who writes notes on the palm of her hand. Not an inherently bad thing, but very, very easy (and fun) to make jokes about.

Also, just to let you know, I did survive my sparring session! Listen to the episode to find out what I'm talking about. Lastly, Dong gets pulverized by a girl. Seriously, she makes him bleed and probably cry.

This week, Dong waxes on the preference differences of women from countries other than the US. Supposedly women in other countries actually like nerds. Hmmm...we'll have to delve deeper.

Also, as for my adventures in snowboarding: yes, I hurt. I'm old--what did you expect?

Finally, Steve Jobs thinks Adobe is lazy. He also thinks its product is buggy. I guess this is his excuse for not implementing Flash in the iPad. Also, my true feelings on the iPad.

Dong feels compelled to fight the powers that be in the Bay Area. The Bay Bridge's toll is being raised and he ain't happy about. Business as usual for the common man, I guess. Although, Dong ain't all that common.

Then, we get through a 10-minute segment about the iPad without making even one feminine hygiene joke. Crazy, I know.

More backup horror stories. This time, the warning is not to back up your files, but to back up your files the right way. If it's not one thing, it's another right?

Today we whittle down my focus on the recently passed Detroit auto show earlier this month. We started this examination with an overview video featuring the many highlights of this auto industry's annual event, and then focused the view onto the BMW product that was unveiled there. Today we're gonna take a close look at a very specific BMW concept vehicle that was "the talk of the town" at this year's party: the BMW ActiveE.

The ActiveE is a landmark in BMW history as its very first electric automobile, and though it is still simply … Read more

There was a lot of automotive eye candy and information to take in at the recent 2010 North American International Auto Show at Cobo Arena in Detroit, and yesterday's highlight reel clip from Inside Line barely scratched the surface on covering all the exciting new automobiles potentially on the make both domestic and international. Today, I bring you another quality video from Inside Line, but this time we focus on BMW's stand from this year's Detroit auto show and a few of the more interesting cars that the German luxury vehicle manufacturer brought stateside for this big … Read more

Normally I don't do things this way in this blog, but I figured what the heck--let's change horses midstream and take a look at some of the vehicles presented at the 2010 North American International Auto Show. With that in mind, I present you with today's Web video blog post--a short but sweet look at some of the noteworthy cars presented for knowledge and viewing pleasure at this year's event in Detroit.

What we have here today is another brief but informative video produced by the good folks at Inside Line that gives viewers a snapshot … Read more

Dong is perched on a very familiar place once again, his soapbox. This time, discussing the effect American media has on the rest of the world and their impressions of Americans.

Then, we discuss the prospects of robot housemaids and how they brings us that much closer to the "Stepford Wife" reality we are clearly headed toward.

Lastly, we take way too much time answering only a few e-mails. Oh well, a longer show means more distraction from your everyday miserable lives.
