Shooting at Bubbles

Here we go folks another of the fine podcasts from The Cynical Bastards where we tear apart the goodie goodie two shoes self-absorbed greatness we call the tech blogosphere.

Right off the bat we give a big thumb up to Jeremiah Owyang’s good natured acceptance of being our very first dickwad. We voted about getting a nice big blow-up of a battleship and put it on a t-shirt with all our signatures on it (our FF post on it http://ff.im/3DJOW -  Jeremiah’s FF post on it http://ff.im/3DJOW – and of course the original show where he got roasted http://tinyurl.com/p5kzh7).

So a big high five to you Jeremiah.

Of course we couldn’t let the whole Laporte and Arrington dustup and where we came up with the term regarding Leo – “Leo Laporte is the Mr. Rogers of the Blogosphere”

This was also the period where we announced the beginning of our weekly Dickwad of Week Award – to which you to can add your pick of a dickwad from that week to be considered http://ff.im/3S9Kw (Friendfeed page for the CobWEBs podcast)

Additionally we also talked about the growing boycott for Left 4 Dead 2 by gamers over on the Steam community page (Gamers pissed at Valve, boycotting Left 4 Dead 2)

Web 2.0 becomes and official new word in the dictionary so we decided to start a petition to get dickwad added next year.

There was some other stuff talked about but I’m not going to ruin all your fun so click on the big green button below and have some fun.
