This Monday I appeared on Hey! with Dane Golden. I met Dane in 2008 at Macworld, and then again when he came up to help with a “Lab with Leo Laporte” shoot. Dane went on to help Leo form TWIT, and worked as president of the TWIT Network until this year.

Dane’s now concentrating on HEY!, his new interview show. Usually it consists of both video and audio, but technical difficulties meant my wordsmithing will have to be listened to and not witnessed in the full audiovisual glory that is the Tokyo Hacker Space. Anyway, give it a listen and feel free to comment below or at Hey.com.

New Macbook Airs? OS X 10.7? John Sculley taps out? EA in Tokyo? Yes!

BTW, we planned to do this episode on video as well as audio, but technology conspired against us. Next week for (maybe) sure!

AKB48 is a super popular group in Japan of young girls who croon at otakus, who then swoon at the attention from real live females. The group’s creator decided that this formula is successful enough to take it in a bold new direction, and so he’s created OJS48, the world’s first supergroup composed of old retired Japanese detectives. Pure genius. 

And then we ate him.

Bacon yum yums!

Sumo mullet!

A typical Saturday afternoon. And sumos. 

Tax dodging bums, eat elsewhere.
