Hey folks, hope everybody has been enjoying their month as much as I have. Time off is a fun thing indeed. Anywho, I happened upon this little gem a few days back, and figured it would be absolutely perfect to release as the first ever Geekspeak Video Special Edition. This is a recording of the Anime Manga Influence on American Society Panel I conducted along with Kris N. at Anime Next 2006. There are some small portions of the panel that were not recorded so certain transitions are a bit iffy, but pretty much the entire panel is right here in this video. Audio quality is not bad at all, and the video conversion is to my liking, so I certainly hope you guys feel the same way about it.

The file is in mp4 format, although I do have an avi of the file I can release if the demand is high enough. As always, you can e-mail Geekspeak at speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, and please vote for Geekspeak on Podcast Alley. I’ll be back quite soon with a regular old fashioned audio episode of the show. Until then, thanks for listening, thanks for watching, and thanks as always for downloading.

Finally, it’s Episode 42 of Geekspeak. This one was recorded in my old stomping grounds, the Brooklyn College Radio Studio on Sunday, August 6th after the Brooklyn Cyclones game. Hooray for nobody else at the radio station when you feel like recording! Topics discussed include:

• Is E3 a goner?
• The hillarious struggle betwen Netscape and Digg. Gosh, I wonder who will win this one? My money’s on Kevin.
• Microsoft’s Zune Player has already hit a snag. Zune no Video!
• Kazaa goes legit. I know what you’re thinking…Kazaa didn’t die yet?
• Top 10 Gaming Achievements: A Gamefaq list that actually is pretty awesome.
• USB 2.0 draining your laptop? Time to patch things up.
• Movie Review: Clerks II
• Paul Dini is back on Batman. The good old days are back again!
• The Wind Up: The trade deadline brings great joy to the Yankees, and Bobby Abreu too!

As stated inside the podcast, Geekspeak will continue to come out during the month of August, but updates will still occur. You can e-mail Geekspeak at speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, and don’t forget to vote over at Podcast Alley.

Thanks for hanging in there folks, and thanks as always for downloading!

Hey folks!  Well, after a week out of town for a wedding which ended in the breakup of my grilfriend and I (still friends, no worries), and the rest of that week split between Cyclones games and sleeping, I’m almost ready to go back to work here.  I’ll be at an Ozma concert tomorrow night, so I might very well record when I get home tomorrow.  If not, then Saturday it is.  But yeah, just wanted to let everybody know I’m alive and well, and that next episode will have my review of Clerks II, and a whole lot more.

SNOOCH TO THE NOOCH!
