Boston, ScobleShow, Lost, etc.
Ah, been a bit out of the game, so here it is! Kinda bummed that my first ever trip to Boston — a place I’ve always wanted to visit — was so brief and packed with work and work-related activities, but it was a interesting, enlightening week spent. The Mobius conference was, as always, a fun and enlightening chance to catch up with industry pals and peep the next generation of WinMo stuff (but not before arousing the ire of at least one industry exec). The reader meetup was explosive, tons of fun; afterward Pete, Jill, and I some time afterward with V’s college pal Josh.
Last night the inimitable Robert Scoble swung by to shoot an ep of ScobleShow Cribs; he caught me running at the mouth the good (and not so good) gadgets kicking around my place right now. For forty five freaking minutes. I hope he’s got some good editors.
Also, the commercial contest, which I’ve been working on for the past week? Total success — tons of fun. And finally, the new ep of Lost… majorly disappointing. The first 3 minutes are outstanding, the rest is just prisoner plotline, being locked up and feeling claustrophobic. I also got a shocking reminder of why live television sucks: five commercial breaks in one hour. No wonder DVD editions of TV shows sell so well. And don’t even get me started on DVRs.

Totally agreed on Lost – yes, yes, they’ve got each of them trapped in their own little psychological experiment. Now get to the interesting stuff, like who did/didn’t survive the catastrophic event of the last season finale. And the big reveal at the end of the episode, that “Henry”‘s name is actually Ben? Holy shit! I know I didn’t see that one coming, how about you?
[...] I filmed a fun segment for the ScobleShow (won’t be up until at least October 11th cause of a “frieNDA”) with Ryan Block at his house last night. He’s been writing for Engadget for, it seems, ever. Anyway, that dude is one serious gadget freak. I’m jealous. Although my HDTV is bigger (and I think sharper) than his. Neener neener neener! [...]
yeah i thought wednesday’s EP of Lost was a little dissapointing…seemed like nothing but a torture episode. but then again, all seasons have to start with some filler before getting to the things we all wanted to know for some time now (the hatch, eko/locke, the fate of the prisoners, penny, yada-yada-yada…)
[...] That episode of ScobleShow where I gave the Scobleizer a peep of the place? Well, it’s up, all 40-some-odd minutes of it! I have to tell you, the man knows how to make people feel comfortable in front of a camera. Go check it out over at PodTech if you’ve ever wondered what kind of kit I’ve got laying around right now (or where we’re storing all those Engadget relaunch giveaways prizes).
