Gadgettes, the blog

This week's episode is inspired by Natali's incredibly appropriate (if not unintended) comment from last week's episode. Really, if you haven't heard it, check it out. Then listen to today's show where we discuss a wide array of chairs on which to sit. That's right, chairs are the "it". Why, what were you thinking?

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.

Hey Kelly, Molly, and Jason,

There is no better “jingle” for Tool Time than the iPhone song (you know, the one played every commercial). This is the most obvious and only logical choice .

Love the show!

Hey gadgettes,

I just finished listening to Episode 85. I doubt this would be possible, but I would be completely willing to pay extra for an uncensored version of the podcast each week. Seriously, that would be the greatest thing on the virtual air, and CNET would be foolish to ignore this potential revenue stream.

If there’s a petition I need to sign to get the MF’n ball rollin’ on this MF’er, won’t you be so kind as to let a MF’er know. That would be MF’n sweet, ‘nah mean?
