Cigar Box Guitar!

Lately I was searching for a diy project for some Cigar Boxes I had laying around. I found Cigar Box Nation during that search. At first, I thought, WTF? But, those guys really wail on those things. If you are bored this weekend or need a project for the kids. make a guitar.

[Review] No Agenda Show

When I was but a wee child there was a great new invention called MTV, that really changed Television. It was one of the first big specialty stations on cable. One of the VJ's was Adam Curry, you just wanted to kill him with his big gel'd up hair and the shiny jackets, ugh. Somehow he ended up with John C. Dvorak, a cranky, old tech writer and wine connoisseur, I first saw him on ZDTV & Tech TV. These guys have nurtured me in differant ways throughout life. They both work for Mevio now, started these conversations amongst themselves and decided to share them with us. Funny, they should end up together in a conspiracy theory podcast named No Agenda. Curry is known as "The Podfather" and after hearing Leo Laporte refer to him fairly often, I decided to give him a listen. He was doing The Daily Source Code and I really liked listening to it and stumbled upon the No Agenda Show he was doing with Dvorak, in the morning.

I haven't listened to all of them, but most. Pretty much it's their twist on the News , seemingly, in no particular order. They both have pet peeves which are recurring and sometimes quite funny, when you're in the know. I laugh out loud each show and I need that. There's fun little jingles that I end up singing all day, such as: "In The Morning!" or "It's the Swine Flu Minute!". It's nice to get different perspectives on the world front. Main Stream Media blows, and we all know it. Not that these guys nail it every time, it's the way that the information is given to us. They purport to have "No Agenda", but each show is pretty similar to the last, so . . . . So, I love it. I listen to every one, Thursday and Sunday.

 My only beef with the show is how the collect revenue, instead of commercials, they beg. If you donate, you get a credit in the show notes and are permitted to put it on your resume. I'm going to donate, just for that fact. I think it'd be funny. Oh, and sometimes the show isn't real transparent, mistakes are made on air and they just keep going. It is a podcast after all.

Give them a listen, you might like them, too. Or not.
