Episode 1058

Jackie Mason and Me
Leo has the same dilemma as a lot of famous people, like Jackie Mason.  They want to be recognised and want to be left alone at the same time.

Frozen Sausage and SawStop
The story of someone using a frozen sausage (see Episode 1041) to control the iPhone’s capacitive touch screen has triggered a letter from Jeffrey Vento. The body transmits electric currents, and it’s the same idea behind the SawStop.  See how it works.

Free iPads
Leo has to buy quite a few iPads, which he will cover soon on TTTT.  He needs to send one to lisatickledpink, one of her followers, and Houdini7 who’s made the TWiT iPhone app (and an iPad app is coming).

Broken Brogan
Daryl Holmquist wonders if Leo meant the brogan maintenance process when he talked about the military manual in Episode 1050.

Nosy Egg Separator
Steve L has been reminded by the Up Chuck (Episode 1032) of a similar device introduced by Martin Sargent on TechTV – with the egg white flowing out of the figure’s nostrils.

Soundboard
Leo has a new launching pad for all his jingles – Ambrosia Software’s Soundboard.

This Is Not It
Bill Kenny, who listens to the show only just about every day, writes in to correct Leo’s misconception that Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” was shot with an ordinary camera.  No, it was not.  It was shot with the RED camera.  Developed by the man who gave us the Oakley Thump Sunglasses (Episodes 8 and 99), the camera has 4 times the resolution of Full HD.

Episode 1055

MouseRugs and WristRugs
Even though the demand for mouse pads must be dwindling with the advent of laser mice, this company is still making their MouseRugs, including WristRugs  for your notebooks.  Dick thinks Leo should start a mouse rug vacuum cleaner business.  Sounds like a winner.

WristRugs
The Frame-O-Matic and the Frame and Fame
Dick and Leo talked about Leo’s little-known (in fact never-neard-before) Frame-o-matic camera which Dick saw on the Wine Train, in Episode 1045.  This reminds Cory K of the Kodak Frame and Fame camera, which tops Leo’s. Not only does the photo comes out in its own frame, but a runner shows up to take the framed photo to the nearest museum – complete with an astounding selection of shooting modes.

Conan O’Brien Buys Out Revision 3?
While watching Leo crowd surfing at SXSW, John Mayo wants to know if it’s true that Conan O’Brien is joining, or even buying, Revision 3.  No, says Leo, it’s a hoax by Brian Brushwood with the help of the audience worthy of another world record.
