My G4 finally gave up the ghost, so I have to rewire everything. And seeing all everyone's gonna do next week is eat and talk about the iPhone, I'm taking a few days off. So, there'll be no Sandbox. But I will have in place a cooking show for you next week. So, have a great week and I'll see you in Friday, July 13th. Oh, that can't be good.

I don't remember, I don't recall. I have no memory of anything at all. Was that Peter Gabriel or Alberto Gonzalez? Personally, I'm leaning toward Gonzalez. This week, Burt Reynolds drops in to bring us up to speed. And Lindsay Lohen brings us up to Ecstacy. Plus there's The Human Condition which deals with persistence. ShoutThing has a new edition - viewer email! Finishing up with Dennis and Podsafe music. And, of course, random videos. So download, double click, drop out.

The WWDC has come and gone. Developers are mixed in their feelings. You can write apps for the iPhone, but they have to run on Web 2.0. Consumers were disappointed because nothing shiny was released. In a frenzy, consumers tipped over Phil Schiller and set him ablaze. Geez, I wonder why no shiny things? Could it be that it was a conference for DEVELOPERS!?! They want under the hood announcements, not shiny toys! Consumer releases are saved for Macworlds and Apple Special Events. So, if you're bemoaning the lack of hardware announcements, stop whining will ya, I'm trying to get a bit of kip! All this begs the question - Why are most people looking for more powerful machines? The average Bill Gates has more power in an entry level MacBook than they'll ever use. Just how fast do you need TextEdit to open a new window? Only pros who work in fields like media, engineering, science, etc., have the need for more speed. So, give it a rest. The iPhone is almost here and as good as sold out. Macworld Paris is coming up soon. They'll probably have some new goodies in the toy chest there. If you're good little geeks. End of rant. This week's Sandbox is free and roughly 21 minutes long. It's green in color and is citrus scented. Highlights feature me playing one-on-one with LeBron James, communicating with the deceased wife of former President Howard Taft from the grating beyond and giving you step by step instructions on how to create an origami likeness of Phil Schiller. There's also The Human Condition, a piece by Will Farrel (can't be bad), Dennis' Op-Ed and more music from the Podsafe Music Network. And if you're really good, free coupons for Cascade Laundry Detergent. YOWZA!

What an emotional roller coaster of a week. First, Paris Hilton goes to "jail" several days early. Then she is released to fulfill her sentence under "house arrest." Have you ever seen her house? It was Randy Newman who wrote the song it's "Money That Matters." Somehow you know that they're going to break ground on the Lindsay Lohan Wing of the prison within two months. Am I angry? No. I'm bitter. I want to be that rich and spoiled. Maybe next time. This week, in The Sandbox, we gloss over the headlines, there's The Human Condition, Dennis' Op-Edd, a Jill Sobule video and the usual handful of non sequiturs. And get this - IT'S FREE!

Woody Allen was going to call one of his film's this but changed his mind. Not me. I have no mind. Ergo, no change. Just been one of those weeks. But nothing stands in the way of our Video Sandbox, my loyal Boxheads. And this week is no different. Except it's not last week. Or the week before. But, I digress. This week we have The Human Condition, several DCLugi pieces, Dennis' Op-Edd and Bob Saget. We're also giving you nothing. No prezies, no toys, no gifts. No luxury yachts, no lifetime supply of Fig Newtons. Just twenty minutes of your life sucked into the great abyss. Have a nice day.
