Episode 1094

Streaming Live Events on TWiT
The success of TWiTLive’s coverage of CES and SXSW has spurred Leo on to stream more live events.  TWiT is going to lease the LiveU (Episode 1052), which gives them 30 hours of live-streamed programming every month.  Coming up will be:

E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo for gaming) in Los Angeles in June.

In July Leo hopes to cover the Maker Faire in Detroit and the Ford plant.

In September there will be the sci-fi/comic strip Dragon Con in Atlanta (with Tom Merritt and Brian Brushwood).

For October, if things work out, Dick and Leo might do Episode 1200 somewhere together.

In December Leo will be off to Paris for the European tech conference LeWeb.

Digital Tea Dunker
Marion McGrath heard in Episode 1076 about the Breville One Touch Tea Maker which dunks the tea into the water, and lifts it up, for you.  Marion has a simpler, and cheaper, solution.  She makes a smart playlist on iTunes with songs that last between 3 minutes and 3 minutes and 20 seconds.  Any song on the list will act as a timer for her tea making.

Gift List
Marion also thanks Dick and Leo for giving her gift ideas: the GizWizBiz Cap for her pilot brother, and the Pill Grinder (Episode 1074) for her dysphagic father.  She can’t wait to get the Rock Guitar T-Shirt (Episode 986) for her teenage nephew.  Last but not least, she got herself a new Ford Focus.  She hopes one day soon, they’ll give her a gift idea for her technophobic husband.  Dick suggests the Card Keyfinder from yesterday (Episode 1093).
