This is one of those shows where we end up looking at a bunch of stuff starting with a follow-up to the story we talked about in the last show regarding the creepy Googler (now ex).

We also take a bit of a trip down memory lane as we wonder about the future of Novell now that VMware has taken an interest in its Linux services, and SUSE.

YA! Twitter got a new home page. Let’s all go out and party like it is 2007 and get all warm and fuzzy. In other words for the millions of people using non-Twitter clients nothing has changed but for those developing for Twitter services it is yet another lesson that maybe you should all go back to writing email clients or “Hello World”.

Then’s there’s Google ….

Things were going so well tonight as Sean and I talked about a whole bunch of cool stuff before his Venus Flytrap voice and memories got the better of him and he disappeared into the night leaving me to attempt closing out the show.

Oh we also took a few minutes to talk about the great and fantastic changes that Google brought to the web today.

After missing two night Sean and I are back to disprove the rumors of our demise even though one of us is sick as a dog.

This is kind of a mish-mash show given that it should be our night of cool stuff we tossed a few items of news just to balance things out after missing a couple of days.
