The show keeps getting better and better. We changed the intro music and I think it really fits our attitude and how the show works better than REM. It took a long time to settle on a format and a general theme but it's rolling along nicely now and I don't get very nervous before the show anymore. The biggest thing to announce about this show is that I had two callers and an IM'er who were not my family. Not my dad, my father-in-law or my uncle nor even any of my friends or my wife. Two complete strangers called in to talk about the war in Iraq. I think it's funny that PC Live has about 5 segments in it covering politics, the environment and other assorted pieces of news and the thing that tends to provoke people to call me is the Iraq war. But I'm not complaining, at least they called. I hope that more will call next week though I don't think we'll be talking about Iraq again.

Here's the rundown of the show:
