Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you get in touch with technology? With
Speaker 1: tech stuff from how stuff works dot com. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast. My name is Chris Polett. I'm
Speaker 1: an editor at how Stuff Works. And sitting next to me,
Speaker 1: as usual, is senior writer Jonathan Strickland Claws. Hey, Chris,
Speaker 1: have you been a good boy this year? As far
Speaker 1: as you know, it works for me. So today we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit about our ultimate Christmas wish list.
Speaker 1: And this is just stuff that Chris and I would
Speaker 1: love to have as Christmas presents. If the sky was
Speaker 1: the limit, we could ask for anything we wanted. Um,
Speaker 1: and you know price was not an issue. So ho
Speaker 1: ho ho exactly do you want to get started? You
Speaker 1: want me to go? All right, I'm gonna do. This
Speaker 1: is what I may actually get. I'm gonna start off
Speaker 1: with one that I might actually get this Christmas, the
Speaker 1: HTC e G one phone running the Android platform. Because
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I am a devoted Google disciple. I've
Speaker 1: noticed that. Yeah, well the hats a little much, but
Speaker 1: I you know, you know they're watching you, Chris, just
Speaker 1: like Santa clause, they're watching you. So yes, HTC G
Speaker 1: one phone. Uh, this phone's got an accelerometer, GPS three
Speaker 1: G and WiFi capability. It's got a touch screen, a
Speaker 1: full Corty keyboard, runs on T Mobile. I happen to
Speaker 1: be a T Mobile customer, so that that works out
Speaker 1: great for me. Um, I want the smartphone, all right,
Speaker 1: that's my first one. All right. Shoot, So what I
Speaker 1: was thinking is when we went to c S last year,
Speaker 1: I found out that my camera is just very ill
Speaker 1: prepared to handle the rigors of life as a traveling
Speaker 1: journalist and really anything else. For that man, it's kind
Speaker 1: of old. So what I was thinking is it would
Speaker 1: be really cool if I could pick up a Nikon
Speaker 1: D three. Now I realized we're talking top of the
Speaker 1: line here, but it does have the advantage of being
Speaker 1: able to use every Nikon lens ever invented, or at
Speaker 1: least pretty much all of them. I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's only uh you know, so for just under
Speaker 1: and I mean just under five thousand dollars. I mean,
Speaker 1: how could you go wrong? Okay, well, if we're on cameras,
Speaker 1: I'd kind of like the Casio eat X Dash f
Speaker 1: H twenty digital camera. Would I'd like to know why.
Speaker 1: All Right, the Casio. It can take forty high res
Speaker 1: photographs in one second. It can also shoot video at
Speaker 1: one thousand frames per second, so you can get that
Speaker 1: great slow motion video. And it has a twenty times
Speaker 1: maximum zoom, so you know, when I'm stalking Alison Hannigan,
Speaker 1: she doesn't have to know about it can be like
Speaker 1: three blocks away. Um, yeah, that that's a It retails
Speaker 1: for around six hundred bucks, so it's definitely a little
Speaker 1: on the prices side for my camera usage. I am
Speaker 1: not a shutter bug. I am not. I am definitely
Speaker 1: on the amateur side of photography. I'm the guy who
Speaker 1: always has the thumb somewhere in the photograph. Um, I
Speaker 1: was wondering who that was. It's hard to tell. Usually
Speaker 1: my thumb, though occasionally it's some other guy's thumb that
Speaker 1: I just have to be carrying around. But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not a very good photographer, but this camera really
Speaker 1: does appeal to me. You know, the creepy stuff was
Speaker 1: the Halloween podcast. I just want to point that out.
Speaker 1: My bad Right, Um, while we're on the Santa dropping
Speaker 1: stuff off, I realized I just got a sixteen gigabyte
Speaker 1: iPod Touch right that you can't stop talking about. Hey,
Speaker 1: but I would like it's beautiful by the way, I
Speaker 1: covet your iPod Touch, and that explains why it goes
Speaker 1: missing something, but that in the drool on it. But
Speaker 1: I would like to to get the the thirty two
Speaker 1: gigabyte iPod Touch, which wasn't the same as you know,
Speaker 1: the one that was out when I bought mine. I
Speaker 1: bought mine right as usual before the announcement for the
Speaker 1: new ones, and in addition to being larger, it also
Speaker 1: has the hardware slider. Mine has the touchscreen slider for
Speaker 1: volume control. So if something else comes on and it's
Speaker 1: louder than I expected it to be, I have to
Speaker 1: unlock it, you know, slide to unlock and find the
Speaker 1: volume control and slide it back instead of using the
Speaker 1: little knob. Meanwhile, you're slowly going deaf. What yeah, nice um,
Speaker 1: You're a percussionist. You should be used to it. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go switch over to TVs now. And I
Speaker 1: have a I have a kind of uh an advantage
Speaker 1: here because I recently wrote an article about the top
Speaker 1: ten televisions and it was really about TVs that I
Speaker 1: thought were top of the line. Not necessarily was that
Speaker 1: the average use or could could afford, but sort of
Speaker 1: the best of the best. It's out there. And uh,
Speaker 1: and one particularly caught my attention. And I could get
Speaker 1: bitten for this because it's sort of a new technology.
Speaker 1: But it's the Mitsubishi Laser View sixty five inch television
Speaker 1: laser that's a big TV. Sixty five inch television. Really,
Speaker 1: you're not going to go for the hundred and five
Speaker 1: inch there's d and fifty inch mythic. Yes, well we
Speaker 1: saw it. I saw it. I don't think you got
Speaker 1: You didn't go to that press conference also at yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but you don't see them at your local electronics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't fit through the door. So yeah, because that's
Speaker 1: eight ft by eleven feet, that's a little big. No,
Speaker 1: the Mitsubishi sixty inches plenty large enough. That's much larger
Speaker 1: than my current TV. And uh, it's really nice to
Speaker 1: ten eight high deaf resolution, hundred twenty hurts refresh rate.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's optimized for three D viewing. It's got
Speaker 1: hd m I inputs component and then but you know
Speaker 1: the whole shebang um cost about seven grand. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a seventy three inch model out soon.
Speaker 1: Actually I should have checked. The seat may might even
Speaker 1: be out by now. Yeah. And and this one maybe,
Speaker 1: uh it may have lowered the price. Oh sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: because because you know. Yeah, well actually I was just saying,
Speaker 1: if the new ones, I'll go for the sky's lemon. Right.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, that's right, I dude, Okay, so yeah
Speaker 1: that's my that's the TV that I covet all right. Well, um,
Speaker 1: the article that that Jonathan is referring to is an
Speaker 1: article that we updated because it had uh t vs
Speaker 1: from a couple of years ago, so we wanted it
Speaker 1: to refresh that and do some really cutting edge stuff. Well. Um,
Speaker 1: our other tech writer, who is not with us at
Speaker 1: the moment, John Fuller, updated the home theater systems article,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna throw in for for a combo. Um.
Speaker 1: John wrote about the the six million dollar theater that
Speaker 1: music producer Jeremy Kickness created. Boy you aim, big Pete. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's uh, it's got an ultra high definition TV,
Speaker 1: the Sony s r x R one ten, which is
Speaker 1: a digital cinema projector TV. Um. Well, and it also
Speaker 1: has eight point eight channels around sound, six eighteen in
Speaker 1: sub woffers, Uh, you know PS three Blu ray H
Speaker 1: D DVD would okay, I'll stamp on that. I was
Speaker 1: about to say, regular DVD, VHS and laser disc. Wow.
Speaker 1: So you know where this is. This is a custom
Speaker 1: built high end, ultra end theater and it has t
Speaker 1: high definition. You can't even find anything that plays that
Speaker 1: right now, can you? Well, apparently this can. But you know,
Speaker 1: for six million dollars, it really ought to here. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just I can't think of any content you would
Speaker 1: find that actually is ultra high definition, is what I
Speaker 1: was saying the U. I guess if you were to
Speaker 1: get it straight from the movie studio, and if you're
Speaker 1: gonna spend six million on your home entertainment system, then
Speaker 1: you might as well go ahead, go all out, you know, Spielberg.
Speaker 1: But I would buy more chairs the one. There are
Speaker 1: only three seats for this particular theater. That just means
Speaker 1: you have to battle it out to be one of
Speaker 1: the top two. Friends that that's kind of that's kind
Speaker 1: of cruel, that's true, but it appeals to me. Um
Speaker 1: all right, Well, but I didn't mention this, but I
Speaker 1: would have to add the large Logitech Harmony one remote.
Speaker 1: That's that was one of mine too. Oh, this is
Speaker 1: what I want, But that's okay, that's okay, we both
Speaker 1: want it. It's that tells her that it's definitely one
Speaker 1: to look out for. You have the Logitech Harmony one
Speaker 1: Universal Remote has an LCD touch screen as well as
Speaker 1: button control. Um it's web programmable, so you can go
Speaker 1: online and program all the information of your home entertainment
Speaker 1: system onto this remote and give it special names. So
Speaker 1: that way it makes it very easy for you to
Speaker 1: switch between components. Uh, it's looks really really nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just sort of. It's got a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Speaker 1: So this is a serious remote. No double as for
Speaker 1: this thing. Yeah, until the you know, thermal runaway, right
Speaker 1: until it explodes in your hand, but you know, actually
Speaker 1: watching like you know, I don't know, Armageddon, you won't care.
Speaker 1: It'll just seem like it just seemed like really immersive. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I should add to that the Kalid Escape, which is
Speaker 1: a box that I read about in PC World in
Speaker 1: their most Expensive Gadgets article, which is pretty pretty amusing,
Speaker 1: most of which really didn't apply to this particular podcast.
Speaker 1: But this Kalid Escape is a peripheral that you can
Speaker 1: add to your home theater and it will store all
Speaker 1: of your your DVDs on it like you can. Basically,
Speaker 1: it's like a giant hard drive e thing. But of
Speaker 1: course it made the most expensive Gadgets article, so it's
Speaker 1: ten dollars you know for this thing. But it's pretty
Speaker 1: use that I have an enormous DVD election to the
Speaker 1: point now where I don't have shelf space for the DVDs.
Speaker 1: I have a bin of DVDs in my living room
Speaker 1: right now because I have nowhere else to put it.
Speaker 1: My wife wanted us to buy a a filing system
Speaker 1: of drawer system from Ikea. They get a free plug Ikea,
Speaker 1: and it was so far. Yeah, it was a really neat,
Speaker 1: neat drawing that may be one of the things on
Speaker 1: my list. The only problems I don't really have any
Speaker 1: floor space for it. So yeah, I gotta figure out
Speaker 1: something um overhead compartments, right, yeah, something that you know,
Speaker 1: right up there with the oxygen masks just in case
Speaker 1: the living room loses pressure. Um, so another component of
Speaker 1: my home theater system. Because I didn't look at the
Speaker 1: six million dollar one I didn't think about that is
Speaker 1: the yeah you beat me there, pullet is the s
Speaker 1: Sony s t R D A five three zero zero
Speaker 1: E s hike. Yeah. I love these names where it's
Speaker 1: all digits and letters. But it's a it's an a
Speaker 1: V receiver, okay. Um, it's got six h d M
Speaker 1: I inputs, three component video inputs, five S video. A
Speaker 1: v in puts three coaxial inputs, and it up converts
Speaker 1: analog signals so that they are better. When you're you know,
Speaker 1: like you're listening to a Vinyl album, it suddenly sounds
Speaker 1: better than it would have normally because it's up converting
Speaker 1: that signal. Um. It's kind of interesting. And uh, it's
Speaker 1: also x M and serious ready, I know you're a
Speaker 1: big serious x M fan. Uh. It has automatic speaker calibration.
Speaker 1: You can have up to nine high definition video sources
Speaker 1: going into this thing. It's crazy. It's seventeen hundred dollars. Um.
Speaker 1: It's actually sort of affordable for that precious. Then, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna watch regular TV, I would recommend the
Speaker 1: tvo h d x L, which was is there extra
Speaker 1: large hard drive all of their HD DVR and you know,
Speaker 1: I just like the tvo interface. Yeah, I would recommend that,
Speaker 1: but that's that's one of those that consistently gets very
Speaker 1: good reviews, the TVO. I mean, out of all the DVRs,
Speaker 1: TiVo's interface they really nailed that the user interface really well. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: so are you ready for It's probably not my biggest
Speaker 1: big ticket item, but it's it's it's the one that
Speaker 1: I'm I kind of built this whole list around. You ready, Well,
Speaker 1: you know I shot my yeah, the six million dollar
Speaker 1: so the Alien War a l x X Dash five
Speaker 1: eight gaming computer, and I'm talking about the fully tricked
Speaker 1: out one, which, by the way, I went ahead and
Speaker 1: went on Alien wear site. It's a it's a it's
Speaker 1: a gaming pc. Um. They build really good PCs for
Speaker 1: playing computer games, you know, very high end graphics cards
Speaker 1: and processors, uh and cooling systems. I mean like they
Speaker 1: just trick it out so that you can play the
Speaker 1: most advanced games in the highest settings with no hiccups whatsoever. Right, So,
Speaker 1: fully tricked out this thing costs almost ten thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: it's ninety seven actually, um, and that was without any extras.
Speaker 1: It was just like the top end stuff. But just
Speaker 1: to give you an idea of some of the specs.
Speaker 1: UH and Intel I seven Extreme CPU, which is a
Speaker 1: three point to giga hurts speed. It's got also three
Speaker 1: channels of d d R three memory. That's not Dance
Speaker 1: Dance Revolution, by the way, that would be double data
Speaker 1: rate three UM. It has a twelve gigabytes of RAM.
Speaker 1: Twelve gigs of RAM. Can you imagine? UH runs Windows Vistas,
Speaker 1: so that's the downside it's got. Actually, at this point,
Speaker 1: Vista is not as bad as everyone made it out
Speaker 1: to be. UM, but it also has UH. You can
Speaker 1: get it with dual to gigabyte a t I radio
Speaker 1: on HD graphics cards, so you're running two major graphics
Speaker 1: cards in this thing, plus a physics processing card UH
Speaker 1: to one terabyte storage hard drive, so you have two
Speaker 1: terabytes of storage. It's insane. Four times speed, dual layer
Speaker 1: blue ray DVD B Chris Santa, if you're listening, I
Speaker 1: will take one. I like it black with the red highlights.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you want to give me silver
Speaker 1: with you know, purple, I'll take it. Right. It's ah, this,
Speaker 1: it's it's drool worthy. Now this does not we should
Speaker 1: add come with the extra circuit you're going to need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what power supply? Twelve hund what's of power? Yeah? Not
Speaker 1: the greenest machine. Now, my carbon footprint would get much
Speaker 1: larger just from owning this machine. Yeah, I would suggest
Speaker 1: you switch to solar panels. Yeah, maybe an extra bank right, um? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Welly for my computer, I actually went to non surprisingly
Speaker 1: towards the Mac end um. I was thinking of the
Speaker 1: seventeen inch MacBook Pro, you know, which which I I've
Speaker 1: coveted for some time. But I would add to it
Speaker 1: the new one right that was just announced. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're pretty with a glass tracking pad, and those are
Speaker 1: very pretty pretty machine. They're pretty machines. And I would
Speaker 1: also add to that, you know, for those sedentary moments,
Speaker 1: the thirty in Apple Cinema HD display nice, you know,
Speaker 1: and uh, I was shopping around on Apple's site and
Speaker 1: found uh a nice set of banging all of us
Speaker 1: and bail ab uh you know, four speakers set. It's
Speaker 1: only nine dollars for the speakers alone. Well, the monitors
Speaker 1: about seventeen and computer three dollars, so you're getting up there,
Speaker 1: not quite ten grand, but for the whole package. But
Speaker 1: you know, I prefer the Mac. Yeah, of course. You know,
Speaker 1: I have that anti Mac bias that I'm working on,
Speaker 1: so you know, for the record, he uses a Mac
Speaker 1: at home, people, I do, so I do use a
Speaker 1: Mac at home. But okay, Amazon Kindle, that was on
Speaker 1: my list. Well, I just figured we can both talk
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, it's real, it's a it's an
Speaker 1: e book reader uses the inc you know, we talked
Speaker 1: about it in a a few times before, and highly convenient. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that I'm ready to buy
Speaker 1: a three fifty dollar e book reader. It's a gift,
Speaker 1: but a gift, Yeah, totally. I'll totally take it as
Speaker 1: a gift. Yeah, absolutely, So that was on my list. Um, oh,
Speaker 1: I've got one other big one home automated living system
Speaker 1: or how because home automation, I mean, that's another thing
Speaker 1: that's been around for you know a while. It's been
Speaker 1: getting more and more advanced. While the HELL system, one
Speaker 1: of the things you can do is you can put
Speaker 1: in microphones and speakers throughout your house and make it
Speaker 1: voice activated. Can it open the pod bay doors? Possibly,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it wants to do that day. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know it just plays also sproatstra forever on
Speaker 1: a loop. You know. Um, but you can say things
Speaker 1: like you can you could create uh, you have to
Speaker 1: create a code word that activates the system. Otherwise, if
Speaker 1: you were just in the middle of a conversation, you know,
Speaker 1: everything could be going bonkers, like your microwaves going off
Speaker 1: and your refrigerators opening up or whatever. Um, but you've
Speaker 1: come up with a couple of a code word that
Speaker 1: activates the system, and then you tell what you wanted
Speaker 1: to do, Like, you know, you want to play music,
Speaker 1: and if you have an iPod hooked up to the
Speaker 1: automation system, it could totally pull music from your iPod,
Speaker 1: play it throughout your house, and you can adjust volume
Speaker 1: everything vocally if you wanted to. There are other interfaces
Speaker 1: besides voice commands. But it just made me think, I
Speaker 1: don't know, have you ever seen the show Eureka? Yes?
Speaker 1: Do you remember Sarah as the self actuated residential automated habitat?
Speaker 1: You know what it stands for, you? You know how
Speaker 1: I know? I called my wife just before this podcast.
Speaker 1: She's she she got me hooked up over over the
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving break that we had not too long ago. She
Speaker 1: got me hooked on Eureka, and I called her up
Speaker 1: and like, what's the name of the house, And she said,
Speaker 1: why do you need to know them? Like, that's not important,
Speaker 1: just tell me the name and so yeah, and she she,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much popped right out with that answer.
Speaker 1: So but yeah, it turns your house into that. Man.
Speaker 1: How awesome is that? The password is octopus? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I just have one more and uh, Sadly
Speaker 1: it is uh sort of a moot point. Um. And
Speaker 1: this is another that was written about by our other
Speaker 1: tech writer, John Fuller. It's the Dash Express, something that
Speaker 1: I saw at CS and I thought was the coolest
Speaker 1: thing ever. It's a GPS that's Internet enabled, so it's
Speaker 1: able to not only tell you where you are and
Speaker 1: where you're going, but it also can find out where
Speaker 1: the traffic is and let you know and you know,
Speaker 1: if you're craving that that cup of coffee, you can
Speaker 1: find out where the coffee shop is. Unfortunately, it's a
Speaker 1: collector's odem. Now, well, it's sort of a collector's outem there.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there probably aren't many of them left. Um. Sadly,
Speaker 1: just as John turned the article into me, Dash announced
Speaker 1: that it would no longer be making the hardware for
Speaker 1: this particular products in the software. But they're in the
Speaker 1: software is and they're going to be licensing the software
Speaker 1: to different GPS manufacturers. So I I just don't have
Speaker 1: the next product the so and so three x l
Speaker 1: M I right, that has the DASH software loaded on it.
Speaker 1: But it's really cool. Keep an eye out. There will
Speaker 1: be something probably before terribly long maybe for next Christmas
Speaker 1: list that has the DASH soft. It really was a
Speaker 1: really really neat I remember Jason Calicanas was going with walkers.
Speaker 1: Well I've got I've got three stocking stuffers, so real
Speaker 1: quick toes um, Well that would be for normal stocking stuffer.
Speaker 1: This is Christmas stockings, all right, right? Right? So the
Speaker 1: personal Soundtrack shirt, Oh yes, it was an April Fool's
Speaker 1: joke from Think Geek and now it really exists. It's
Speaker 1: a shirt that has a speaker in it and a
Speaker 1: little remote control. You can have up to twenty sounds
Speaker 1: programmed into this thing. It's got some pre programmed in it,
Speaker 1: but it also has an SD slot so that you
Speaker 1: can put in new sounds if you don't like the
Speaker 1: ones that it came with. And it also has a
Speaker 1: jack where you can jack plug it into your iPod
Speaker 1: and you can play music from your iPod through your shirt,
Speaker 1: so you have a personal sound soundtrack wherever you go. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you listeners are are like you know,
Speaker 1: my own humble self really excited. I've always wanted to
Speaker 1: be able to enter a room dramatically with the right
Speaker 1: you know music. You know, I'm a big I'm a
Speaker 1: big pro wrestling fan, and so you know, you gotta
Speaker 1: have like that song that really just it strikes up
Speaker 1: when you enter the room. I just haven't figured out
Speaker 1: what mine would be. Probably you know Imperial March from
Speaker 1: The Empress Strikes Back. I mean that's the go to,
Speaker 1: that's everyone goes to. That one. That would be right there.
Speaker 1: So that's one of the stocking stuffers. The stocking stuffer.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, I was just gonna add that. They also
Speaker 1: have two other really cool shirts here. One is the
Speaker 1: WiFi Finder shirt, which actually has the lights and it
Speaker 1: lights up when you're around a WiFi hotspot. Then in
Speaker 1: me at drummer shirt and me being a percussionist, I
Speaker 1: love that, but it actually has a drum drum kit
Speaker 1: into the shirt chest. Yeah, I was not going to
Speaker 1: use the word cool for that, but yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: appropriate for your stuff. Okay, So the R two Fish
Speaker 1: training school kit. You can train a goldfish to do
Speaker 1: tricks like knock a soccer ball into a sucker net
Speaker 1: Um with this gift, I would need one additional gift,
Speaker 1: a goldfish because I don't have one, and a bolt.
Speaker 1: Well you know, yeah something plus kit, right, goldfish plus kit.
Speaker 1: Uh and then the third This is not really a
Speaker 1: stocking stuffer because it wouldn't fit in one, but it
Speaker 1: would be completely appropriate like where we were, Like the
Speaker 1: goldfish bowls gonna fit in your stock. Okay, well, you know,
Speaker 1: be technical. The nerve Vulcan e b F heavy automatic blaster.
Speaker 1: It shoots three darts per second. It's belt fed, it
Speaker 1: takes six D batteries. This thing is a monster people.
Speaker 1: It's got it's got its own tripod and target site
Speaker 1: starts that stick to school is exactly you shouldn't have
Speaker 1: shot me with the nerve Vulcan eb F, Johnny. My
Speaker 1: mother shot me with the nerve Vulcan EBF once once.
Speaker 1: So um, you know I do have one that could
Speaker 1: qualify as a stocking stuffer because I didn't check these off,
Speaker 1: and I do have a last one, um, and that
Speaker 1: was the Denon ah D five thousand reference headphones because
Speaker 1: my old headphones broke. Yeah, I remember, that was a
Speaker 1: sad day. It was a sad day for all of us.
Speaker 1: So we don't I gotta listen to my show the
Speaker 1: day the private music died. And now that I have
Speaker 1: my you know x M blasting through my little speakers
Speaker 1: on my desk, and everybody has to deal with listening
Speaker 1: to the Zeppelin channel or the commercial jingles. That's right channel,
Speaker 1: that's your chance, exactly. It the problem. Anyway, I feel
Speaker 1: better now that we got all this out, especially since
Speaker 1: I'll probably only see one of these, if any, this year.
Speaker 1: But uh I don't know. Actually, my parents might give
Speaker 1: me that soundtrack shirt because they are amused when I
Speaker 1: get geeky things and annoy all of my friends. They
Speaker 1: find it very entertaining. Uh So, But I guess that
Speaker 1: wraps up our discussion about our ultimate Christmas wish list.
Speaker 1: So before we go, I thought i'd give a little
Speaker 1: shout out to a new podcast that has recently started
Speaker 1: with Under the House Stuff Works Umbrella, and that is
Speaker 1: called High Speed Stuff, which has our wonderful hosts, Ben
Speaker 1: Bolan and Scott Benjamin and they're uh, they're great. They
Speaker 1: have they cover all things automotive. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: a kind of a you know, a step sister podcast
Speaker 1: to our own, and you guys should definitely go check
Speaker 1: that out and subscribe to that on iTunes. And as
Speaker 1: for our wish list, lots of these things can be
Speaker 1: found on how stuff works right sure, well, digital photography
Speaker 1: of course, around sound, the iPod, the laser view, it's
Speaker 1: on that television. Yeah, we need to do an article
Speaker 1: about that nerf gun. No, yeah, we definitely need that
Speaker 1: nerf gun. But most of these topics can be found
Speaker 1: in one form or another at how stuff works dot
Speaker 1: com right now, and we'll talk to you again really soon,
