A podcast about Macs done by a Mac geek for Mac geeks. Show 55. The Tiger Release Special, sort of. Sorry gang, but technical issues made this show not what I had originally intended. I give you the full scoop including a play by play of the event.No live interviews, because my iRiver decided not to cooperate. I plan a kind of make up, so don’t be too mad please. Thanks.

Note: My boss saw the site today and requested that I not run the cam while at work. I am still trying to figure out a compromise so the cam maybe offline for a while. Talk about crappy timing.

I like LEGO and I have metioned it before on the show. Well it turns out there is a MacCast listener who does his own LEGO podcaast. Here is a snippet of the email he sent me:

I noticed during the last podcast that you were a fan of LEGO. Just
wanted to let you know that I have started a new LEGO podcast. On the
show we discuss LEGO fandom for the adult fan of LEGO (AFOLs) and
whatever items I think might be of interest to LEGO fans (I sneak a
MAC plug in every chance I get). Time permitted (and I know your time
is precious!), check out my podcast at:

If your into LEGO you may want to check it out.

If you don’t have an iPod yet you may want to give this a spin. It is a really cool virtual ipod with several Podcasts, including the MacCast, preloaded. It works just like the real thing. Too cool.
