Okay, so my Flip Video camera arrived today along with a lighting kit for the podcast. I’m officially obsessed. Here’s a quickie I shot about securing your bike to what I call “wheel racks.”

We’ve still got the “Get a Job” series in our heads and we can’t get it out. Our friend Gary Vaynerchuk of WineLibraryTV talked about personal branding and fantasy baseball on his blog yesterday, garyvaynerchuk.com. I’m convinced he’s a genius.
