Brand New Monday Jingle
It's a brand new week and a brand new day and a brand new Monday Jingle, from Dan Lueders again, which has incorporated Leo's Monday ditty, their occasional slogan "The worse your life is, the better we sound" and even the Gravy Slogan.
Rock My Teeth
Patrick Warn from Georgia, Vermont writes about Rock My Teeth - a musical tooth-whitening system. Attach the whitening kit to your iPod and the music, Professor Bocelli claims, helps line up the peroxide molecules to make it easier for them to penetrate through the enamel into the dentin to whiten the teeth. Watch the video here. Dick thinks the HydraBrush (Episodes 226, 480) - though Dick thinks it's called Turbo Brush - makes a lot more sense.
Cotati Accordion Festival
Dick is joing Leo at TWiTLive on Friday 20 June 2008, and Dick has had difficulty getting a room at the local hotels, because that weekend is the Cotati Accordion Festival. Dick manages to book himself a 2-night package at the Metro Cafe and Hotel, one of Leo's favourites. Kim from Wild Planet is going to demonstrate their Christmas toys and she'll come dressed as an elf.

A DGW Episode Looker-Upper-Listener
James Hatsis from Oconee Air Service has written in to heap praise on Collins, a 14-year-old listener who has created a DGW episode looker-upper-listener (Episode 306). Collins has enhanced it. Now you don't have to enter the zeros in front of the episode number. Just enter the episode number and you can listen to DGW.

Gnip Gnop
Patrick from Atlanta, Georgia explains the name of the previous listener Gnip Gnop (Episode 184). Over 30 years old, Gnip Gnop is a board game, with "Ping Pong" spelt backwards, even though it has little to do with Ping Pong.
Mad Minute
Leo must have run out of Mad Minutes.
The mStation Orb
Speaker System for iPod
Link: mStation
The mStation Orb is a mere 8" in diameter and a 2.1 stereo system with docking station for the iPod. The iPod sits on top. The mid and high speakers face forward, while the subwoofer faces backward. The remote control duplicates the controls on the iPod itself, with additonal controls for bass and treble. It comes with 6 inserts for all iPods, and a cable for connecting the Shuffle or other MP3 players. Operates on AC only. Very decent sound.

Mad Genius
Gaines always said the genius of Mad was the artists and writers. He just provided the environment in which they could thrive.
