You know it’s going to be an interesting show when the first thing Sean and I do is break into a Cheech and Chong routine; but it doesn’t get any better than talking about the trademarking of the word ‘Face’ and the interesting implications if that happens.

While we don’t cover a lot of topics tonight the one’s that we do cover are all mind-boggling, each in their own silly way. I mean what can you say when the high points of a Facebook press conference is the banging of a gong and the public punking of what was once a competitor.

Not to mention the fact that as much as I really, really, dislike McAfee products I sure wish I had been a shareholder because today was Christmas.

No we’re not twins but Sean and I do share the same birth date so today’s show is in celebration of our mutual birthdays (Of course Sean is the younger less cranky of the two but don’t tell him I said that).

To help along with the celebration of us both heading into yet another cranky year of goodness we have a fine line-up of topics to talk about.
