ASK A GADGETTE
Hi Gadgeteers,
I am 15 years of age and starting to get interested in films and videography.
I want to get started making my own clips and footage but I don't know what High Definition Camera I can start with?

I want something cheap, high quality, compact and easy to use.
Can you guys help?

Thanks so much.
Your listener,
Phil.

Hi Gadgettes!

Just wanted to say that I love your show. It's unique in that you tell
us about gadgets we could use in our lives as well as the completely
pointless. I love the banter and chemistry between you three. Keep it
up!

I wanted to share a bit of "1st world malaise" that afflicted me this
weekend. It went something like this:
"WAHHH! There's no wi-fi at my huge and beautiful Cape Cod beach
house! Now I cannot download my podcasts for my 1/4 mile walk to the
beach!!!!!! Now I am going to have to listen to waves!" Just so you
know, I am not a bratty teenager. I am a successful mid 20's tech geek.

Love you guys.

You guys asked what kind of woman would own a Juicy branded keyboards and binged toasters? Well, I know her. A friend of mine married the 27 year old daughter of a Chicago politician. She has never worked a day in her life and has an eight foot tall Andy Warhol style portrait of HERSELF hanging in their condo that SHE commissioned. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea.

I know you guys make fun of tools all the time, and I admit this is pretty tooly. BUT IT IS AWESOME and I WANT! It is the "Prestige Edition" of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The kit includes the collectors edition of the game (yawn), an art-book of developer sketches (snore), something about downloading another CoD game for free (out cold), and an amazing pair of NIGHT VISION GOGGLES! They actually work. No word on pricing. I'm guessing in the $150-200 range. Love the show!
