A day late and a dollar short… In this week’s Tech Top Three, Carl and I discuss Yahoo gobbling up Del.icio.us, Apple and NBC’s deal to serve up a whole bunch of TV shows on iTunes, and Wikipedia is coming under lots of fire. On The Gaming Table, we take a look at Call of Duty 2 for the Xbox 360, and we take a first look at Spycraft 2.0. Our Boston in Brief segment makes its triumphant return, and we disucss the upcoming VeriCon at Harvard University.

Hi, guys.
Just wanted to confirm that I do indeed live in New Hamster. Looking forward to VeriCon and meeting you rascals. Thanks for the shoutout and for producing an excellent show. Listeners interested in other indie games and game designers should check out my website’s links page. A bunch of us are planning to party up and raid VeriCon in search of blue and purple drops.

BTW: Aside from gaming-related podcasts like “Sons of Kryos” and “Have Games, Will Travel,” I also listen to “CineCast,” “Diggnation,” “Dawn and Drew” and “Distorted View.” Oh, and the “Eber and Roeper” podcast but that doesn’t count, does it? So yeah, you’re in good (albeit weird and twisted) company.
For some reason, I always confuse Maine and New Hampshire (as far as remembering where people live). I think it has to do with the fact that I equate both with log cabins, moose, and pickup trucks. Sad thing is, my sister lives in Portland, Maine and I have friends in Nashua, NH. Neither fit the image that is burned in my brain.
Anyway, we will definitely seek you out at VeriCon. I am really looking forward to it as I haven’t attended a Con before (do I have to turn in my geek credentials now?). It should be a good, and also quite interesting, time.
Great podcast, this is my second show and I love the Boston connection. I used to live in Sommerville, then in Cambridge…so it’s a nice connect. Hope to be at Vericon.

Sorry, no running commentary on this episode. I just won me a shiny new moto ROKR (thanks Mr. Zander!) and listened to this one in my car on the drive in.
But seriously, what was up with the 17th century french chamber music as the boston lead-in? I’m sending you a copy of “For Boston” by the dropkicks on itunes in a sec, I expect to hear it on the next boston segment.
