Geek A Week Challenge #13: Tom Merritt
One of my favorite artists and friends, Len Peralta is doing a podcast and set of online trading cards called Geek a Week. The idea is he has a half hour conversation with someone which becomes the podcast and then he draws a trading card of them based on the conversation. So far he’s done 12 amazing cards including such geek luminaries as Jonathan Coulton, the RiffTrax crew, Veronica Belmont and Morgan Webb among several other amazing geeks.
I’m a little embarrassed to be counted among the stars, but Len saw fit to draw me up for his lucky 13th card. Len says he had a hard time drawing me, but he did an amazing job. It’s a very flattering and handsome depiction. Oh. I see what he means. It looks nothing like me. IN any case, it’s well worth a look and supporting the project if you feel like it.
You can find the card here and the writeup here.
Phileas #25 – Eurovision Love
I love The Phileas Club podcast. Patrick Beja from France and Turki from Saudi Arabia gather people from all parts of the world to discuss the news from their unique perspectives. It’s an excellent way to check your prejudices and get exposed to viewpoints you won’t find anywhere else.
This episode was extra-special for me because I got to be on with my old BOL co-host MOlly Wood. It’s our first podcast appearance since I left CNET. And it was a blast. We talked about the issues with the Euro, the Eurovision singing contest, the World Cup and what it means to South Africa, and more.

East Meets West 209 – Hangover vs. Hot Tub Time Machine
The inimitable OhDoctah returns to East Meets West to complete the Hangover-Hot Tub Time Machine challenge, with interesting results. Plus we talk over the Eurovision singing contest and the literary value of television.
