Hi there, whoever’s on the show this week, three words: butt, backpack, pink. This is both “what the hell,” “pinkwatch,” “tooltime,” and “kill me,” all rolled into one…

Wow. (Also, sorry about any trademark violations re: my e-mail address… I just had to get it while it was still available… 
Sincerely,

Greetings, Gadgettes
I’m writing in reference to the iRoticNet service that you mentioned in episode 98. I don’t quite understand who the target demographic is. Sure, I enjoy adult material just as much as the next guy, but I’m sure that most would agree that its best viewed in a private setting on a full size monitor, which would make putting it on a portable device rather pointless. I’m just not sure who would need porn to go and, quite frankly, I don’t think I want to know.
Love the show, but just as a friend

That subwoofer that you guys talked about on the show sounds pretty cool. But instead of just making the ground rumble or blasting out some loud bass guitar, I thought of a better use for it:
Just sneak up to you neighbor’s house (the neighbor you don’t like) and hit the house with a hammer. Record its resonance with a high quality portable recorder, and then play that through the subwoofer.
