Hi Scott, enjoyed the show today.

I picked up a Wii here in the states, it was interesting to hear about the Japanese waiting for theirs. It always surprises me when a Japanese game company releases their new products here first. As the Japanese seem very nationalistic (I think this is a big reason Microsoft's Xbox360 sells so poorly there), I've always thought they would take this as a slap in the face. Do you think anyone views it this way, or am I looking too far into things?

Also, I have been meaning to ask you something, I think of it everytime I listen to one of your podcasts - but by the time I get back to a computer I completely forget. In your earlier episodes, you were talking about a satellite radio receiver that you were going to demo and explain on the show. You seemed pretty excited about it. Maybe I missed the episode, but I don't think that ever came together. What's the story behind the device? Whatever came of it?

Keep the shows coming, I like the longer formats over the shorter ones.

Hiya Scott,

I am thinking of putting together some kind of podcast type thing and so will flick you an audio file, perhaps! I really am feeling the pressure now.

Like Mark, I prefer the longer podcasts.. ;o)

Scott,
Thanks for the link and the mention. You're too kind.
It seems you're back on form - I like it when you're a little more topical (but then I would, wouldn't I?)
Some of your listeners might be interested in an Op/Ed podcast/ post we did about a month ago on bullying.
Bullying has actually taken up more of our time than we ever expected of late, which is, as you say, something we'd really rather not be talking about.
Oh! Have you heard about the Japan Probe guy getting contacted by the Hokkaido board of education, who accused him of violating students' rights? If not, check this out.
