Show Notes for Episode 5 recorded Sunday, August 10, 2008 Apologies for last week’s show. We were supposed to have YT Cracker on as a guest host but because of Shawn's recent move he was without an internet connection and it also coincided with James’ birthday weekend to which he felt he needed some time with his family. We are working to reschedule him soon. Shawn moved into his house and is finally playing his Wii. His Wii number is 3421 7992 8389 1955. To send him yours email him at shawnstruck*at*gmail*dot*com or you can send him a tweet at twitter.com/shawnstruck James discusses a recent twitter experience he had with Robert Scoble. James discusses his re-addiction to Bawls energy drink and gives the new G33k B33r a try right on the air.

(Correction: On the show we attributed some other knitting to Cassie. Cassie posted a blog containing links to other Nintendo knit projects like the chain chomp hat and the Mike Tyson Punch-Out scarf. James apologizes since it was a last minute decision and he only skimmed through the story.) You'd sell your what?!
