Never thought I'd say this, but I need as many people as possible to pray to their God of choice (atheists and agnostics...positive energy will do) for the Philadelphia Eagles. Thank you.

i posted this over at our sister site, podguide.tv, a week ago, but since then, I've been unable to get this chick out of my head or off my iPod so I thought I'd share it with you all here. Cali Lewis is the host of a new video podcast called GeekBrief. Unlike the legion of no-nonsense, tech girls who host Rocketboom, CommandN and the rest, Cali brings a certain “girl-next-door” sexiness to the realm of gadgets, in a world where pink iPod cases rule, and running out of battery power “really, really sucks”. But don't be fooled by the 'Valley Girl“ act - Cali knows what she's talking about, with just the right amount of information amongst all the flirting. Here's hoping we one day see her sporting a YBNBY camisole on one of the broadcasts :)

(*aside from my wife, that is).

As the old saying goes, what you're doing at midnight on New Year's is what you'll be doing all year.

If that holds true, all year I'll be praying Dick Clark extricates himself from the next Rockin' Eve.

Reminded me of the uncomfortable feeling that surrounded my great-grandmother's nursing home in Bloomington, Illinois. That can't be a formula for ratings success.
