There's a lot to talk about this week, from the celebrity death toll, to more tech updates. This week we were saddened by the loss of Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett and surprised (though not necessarily shocked) by the death of Michael Jackson. We talk about how the Internet could barely handle the MJ coverage, and Google thought the mega searching was an attack. From there it's good bye to Extreme Tech as we know it and it looks like Microsoft is finally getting into the anti-virus market.
This past week, the truth about Steve Jobs' medical condition was revealed, Google Voice was getting a lot of buzz and of course in politics you can't ignore the mess in South Carolina. All this and more in our first segment.
Our major segment is an all out cigar orgy. We share our thoughts about the special CAO LX2 eLements Tour sample pack. If you ever wondered what each tobacco in a cigar blend would be like by itself you'll have to listen to hear how the three individual puros stacked up to the wonderful CAO LX2.
Due to the major segment being all about this special cigar experiment, we forego our nomal cigar and libation pairing.

This week on the show we once again thank our listeners sharing some more feedback. From there both Mike and Jim share some new job updates (polar oposites as they are). BBQ Season is starting up and Easter was just the excuse Jim needed to break out a Turducken.
In tech news, Windows Live email's recent outage caused quite a stir, the founders of the Pirate Bay website were convicted in a Sweedish Court and Microsoft is claiming 96% of the netbook market. Ebay is spinning out Skype and Blackberry launces their AppStore (with some problems which Jim has found a fix for).
In other news, South Park's creators received a strange gift, Somali Pirates took a US ship over and paid the price, the President relaxes Cuban travel restrictions, and Tax Day saw hundreds of protests nation wide and CNN's coverage was suspect.
In this week's main segment, Jim completes his series on Digital Media, focusing on Video.

This week on the show Mike and Jim share some great listener feedback and once again put a call out for followers on twitter (show: @mindofmen; Jim: @mindofmenjim; Mike: @mikevilla) and wonder if anyone in the greater New England area would be up for a Mind of Men Herf. With all we hear about the downturn in the economy, Jim points out a positive side - the value of the dollar and suggests now is the time to buy Whisky overseas.
Next, Mike has long been a fan of the Blackberry, but Jim just made the leap and shares his thoughts. In a few other tech stories we hear about how there are to be no Apple products in the Bill Gates family, a great free tool for recording your Windows desktop, and a number of security and privacy stories round out the mix. In our final two stories, Mike talks about a proposal he read about for merging the Pacific with the Mountain time zones, and Jim finds an article about why Rush Limbaugh is actually bad for the Republicans.
In this week's main segment, Jim completes his two-part series on Home Theater.

We lead off with some housekeeping, thanking our first donor to the show who wished to remain anonymous. We talk about our experiment broadcasting the show using Stickcam. It went well, so we will probably look to do that more in the future. We also talk about some of the changes taking place on our Mind of Men Facebook group and invite everyone to drop by as well as to subscribe to our Twitter feeds (Mike's is mindofmen, Jim's is mindofmenjim). Mike showed off his new Blackberry Storm, we laughed about the Arod situation, and Mike told us about his 5 minutes of fame on an evening talk radio call-in. We talked about a couple of funny videos we'd seen and wrapped up wit a discussion on the stimulus bill.
In our second segment, we are joined by Carrie Oliver of the Oliver Ranch. Carrie has embarked on a mission to create a more educated steak lover. In the past, unless you lived on a ranch, there is a good chance you don't know much about the last steak you had. Carrie's company provides steaks with pedigrees - you know where the beef came from, how it was raised, and what it was fed. Just as the environment can impact the flavor of a good wine, it can have a similar impact on the flavor and texture of the beef you eat.
In the back half of the segment, Carrie takes us through a guided tasting in which Mike and I have four pieces of meat with only a color coded stick to tell them apart. We try each one, share our thoughts and then Carrie tells us what each one was.
It was a lot of fun and we definitely encourage you to order your own taster's pack and give it a try.
One note - we were doing this via Skype and Jim has not gotten all of the Skype bugs out of his laptop, so apologies for the background noise during the interview. It is not a huge problem, but it is definitely not up to our usual audio standards.

This week provided some special challenges as Mike and I had to do this show remotely. Since we moved back to a bi-weekly format we have not had to do this so it's clear we had forgotten all we learned. Jim was in the studio but Mike was on a headset, so while the audio quality is fine, we were not both on the same type of microphone, so you can certainly tell the difference. We opened the first segment talking about the Superbowl and its attendant commercials, discussed Google's glitch, and the new Amazon Kindle. We then touched the Politics realm again talking about Obama's pronouncement of capping executive salaries for companies that take bailout money and the financial community's reaction as well as some other political tidbits. In our second segment, Jim presented part one on Home Theater and discussed the genesis of Surround Sound as well as covered things you need to know when purchasing speakers for your new surround sound setup. We also provided some product recommendations across the price spectrum. We'll be back later with part 2 where we will cover the rest of the components you need for a great home theater setup.

This episodes starts with the guys announcing their Donation Link on the Mind of Men website. From there Jim talks about how he is starting to work on my facebook account, and invites listeners to follow him (and Mike) on Twitter. Jim's Dell D430 died so say "hello" to his new Dell 1318. Of course any change of systems can result in oops and Microsoft's move of My Music to its own folder bit Jim in the butt this week.
From there the stories just keep coming as this super-sized first segment covers food, tech, news, opinion and politics.
From the end of the first segment it's right into the cigar and libation and a mini-episode can be expected next week on Home Theater.

Welcome to another of our "mini episodes" during one of our off weeks. With the Presidential Election this week, Jim figured that since we had planned to do this topic in one of our shows and were rapidly running out of time, we would do an off-week mini episode - turned out when Jim was done recording it was not so mini.
Jim had to fly solo on this one with the exception of the cigar and libation segment at the end which had been previously recorded.
Jim starts by talking about some of the positive things this past week in the stock market, touches on the Windows 7 news released this week, discusses some suggestions for dealing with the Police when stopped, and briefly editorilizes on the latest crop of Mac switcher ads.
In the politics segment, Jim talks about Ted Steven's conviction and decision to continue to pursue re-election in spite of it and shares a story about a local Boston politician who is in a similar situation. Jim also discusses a story about how most major newspapers have endorsed one candidate or the other and wonders if this is really an appropriate thing for a news organziation to be doing.
In the second segment, Jim presents some final thoughts that you might want to consider as you go to the election booth this coming week. Jim thinks that he stayed relatively non-partisan, but you can be the judge of that.
Finally, we sample a gimmick cigar and libation pairing for this week.

Welcome to our first episode "in the raw" which means that we put this episode out the way we recorded it with no editing. We are anxious to hear your feedback on how we did and if you liked (or disliked this new approach). We hope you like it as it cuts way down on the editing time and paves the way for us to start doing these as live episodes down the road.
We start by lamenting the elimination of the Red Sox in the ALCS. We then discuss one of the recent stories about how a majority of Americans do not approve of the Federal bailout . The Move Over Law is another topic as it is being considered as legislation here in Massachusetts.
Do you remember the old DAK gadget catalog from the late 80's and early 90's? We do and its back in an online format.
The anti-smoking lobby has scored another victory as the Dalmore Cigar Malt Scotch becomes the latest victim.
In our tech gadget segment, we talk about the wonderful VMCNetflix software for streaming your NetFlix watch now movies to your Xbox 360 for free and the debut of OpenOffice 3.0.
In our politics segment, we talk about the latest article showing that T. Boone Pickens' energy plan is somewhat more self serving than he lets on. We also talk about how theft and defacement of campaign signs is on the rise this year, Joe the Plumber's contribution to the election discourse and cover the endorsement of Barak Obama by Colin Powell.
Finally, we offer a great cigar and libation pairing this week (according to Mike - Jim is still on the fence on this one).

From there on to tech, Jim points out how XP won't die, and Mike points out a post about Windows top 10 historic security flaws, and RealDVD's problems.
We skipped a break and plowed right into our politics segement where Jim talked about some of the historical background that voters should consider in the upcoming election. No, we don't tell you how to vote, but we do offer you some non-partisan food for thought as you go into the voting booth.
Finally, we offer the first of what we hope will be many classic cigar and libation pairings. We've tried a lot of cigars and beverages in the past, but this combination blew us away.

This week launches our first mini-episode where Jim flys solo. In this episode he talks about a few headline issues for the week and then dives into a look at the ongoing political discussion over Oil - where we get it and how we use it.
This is the first of our election year issues where we do our best to set aside partisan politics and try to take a factual view of a topic that is likely to be in the forefront of the upcoming U.S. Presidential election. This week we examine some of the topics of debate around oil and try to get an understanding of the facts behind the hype.
We look at the issues surrounding offshore drilling, where we get our oil, the issues around environmental impacts and the question around conservation.

[OK. So I was way off on my statements on the national petroleum reserve levels. It's currently at 700 million barrels, and is authorized for up to 1 billion - which would translate to about 50 day supply at current levels. Sorry for the misinformation, but as I mentioned it was on the radio and I hadn't had a chance to doulble check. See the Department of Energy Website link in the show notes for more info. -- Mike]
