Recently, I’ve been getting into Revision3 shows. It started when a friend showed me an episode of Tekzilla. I hadn’t realized how much I had missed Patrick Norton. He seems a little haggard now. But I will still remember the younger, happier version, back in the old TechTV days.
After I had seen a couple episodes of Tekzilla, I moved onto Scam School. Scam School features Brian Brushwood, a man with impossible hair and awesome talent. In his show, he demonstrates crafty tricks to impress your friends, girls, random people, or whatever. They are pretty bitchin’. Though quite a few feature the use of a cigarette, something I don’t normally carry on my person. Still, the show is cool and the episodes are short (about 5 min). Perfect for those who want to learn a neat trick and pass time until their next class.
I’m getting to the point, so bare with me. After I had finished with Scam School, I decided I should try downloading the HD content they offer for most (maybe all?) of their shows. But I needed another show! So, looking through the list, who do I see? None other than Kevin Rose, hosting a show called DiggNation. The show is co-hosted by Alex Albrecht, who grew on me faster than I care to admit. DiggNation is ostensibly a show about “top digg.com social bookmarking news stories.” However, the resulting show is more a window into the lives of the two hosts than anything. Even so, it makes for a compelling show.
Ok, the point. DiggNation is holding a contest, though I say it’s a sweepstakes, where they will host the show in one lucky winner’s home. I want to win. Allow me to enumerate a list for you (in no perticular order):
- I’ve never won a contest/sweepstakes before.
- I think it would be badass to meet Keven, Alex, “Hippy Glen”, and the rest of the crew.
- See if my girlfriend will make good on her promise to punch Alex if uses the word ‘Epic’ again.
Anyway, I’m not going to buy a domin from GoDaddy just to get more chances, but I would like my name to be drawn.
That’s all I have to say about that. Good night!
