You asked for it and we delivered! The official commandN YouTube Channel is  now live (and we already have many great clips from the commandN library uploaded).

So if you just want to see Leo Laporte talking about Podcasting (back in 2005!), Amber’s favorite web design sites, Jeff’s Drobo review, or Brian’s recommendations for filmmakers - then this is where you need to go! You can also watch the infamous blooper episode, Will’s top Facebook apps, and Jeff’s tips on better Google searching.

We are uploading new content daily and will be breaking down each new episode starting this week (we may also be producing YouTube only content in the future so stay tubed).

It’s a holiday here in Ontario today.  Brian just arrived home from Florida.  I just got off a plane from Charlottetown.  Jeff just got back home to Halifax.  And Mike has been holding fort in Toronto, waiting for news from the Apple WWDC 2006.  Fortunately Jeff did a thorough review of what was announced at the conference today, so check here for the latest and greatest Apple news.

We’ll also be chatting about the conference news on this week’s ep of commandN, so thanks for your patience as we work to get this week’s show out in the next day or so with segments from Charlottetown, Halifax, and T.dot.   

First of all, Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads out there!

In case any of you (not just Dads) are trying to access specific shows/links and are noticing an error message, we wanted to let you know that we’re working to move some of our files around (FYI - SMUnique is still one of our hosting companies and we love them, really).  Our traffic is growing rapidly (one year strong!), as are our storage needs, and so we are outgrowing an existing hosting situation with one of our smaller-sized hosting companies/sponsors (Vizaweb). 

Our weekly episode (#50) will be posted tomorrow, as usual; some past episode links and .torrent files will be offline for a couple of days.  The Audioblog version is still available, as always.

Thank you for your patience and continued support!

We are going to be doing some maintenance to the commandN servers over the weekend that may result in dead links on our site and our RSS feeds going offline.

All should be done by Monday for the release of Episode 43!

For those folks who are just starting a long weekend, hope you all enjoy it!  We won’t be posting a new show Easter Monday (April 17th), but we are back with a new show April 25th.  Good luck egg hunting ;-).

We wanted to thank the folks at DC Comics (specifically Karl) for featuring a commandN "character" (along with TWiT and Hak5) in the current issue of Adventures of Superman (#648).  See scan below.  So cool!

And make sure to check out Karl’s (and friends’) podcast about comics and the creative process.  Get it here.

We’re working on editing our holiday special - Episode #27 - as we write this, so expect to see this release tomorrow.   We hope you’ll all enjoy it!  In the meantime, check out some pics from the TechTV Holiday Meet-up. 

As promised, we’re releasing the HD version of the interview (approx. 5 minutes/355MB) we did with Mike from Mozilla.  He talks to Amber about the latest version of Firefox and the Firefox Extensions contest.   

Check out the press release  (PDF file) and download the files below.  Enjoy!

Frappr is yet another cool use of Google Maps.   Michel from the Netherlands just sent me a link to a commandN fan map he created (very cool!).  If you’re a fan of the show, post on our map so we have a chance to figure out who’s watching/from where!

"It’s an online tool that lets you map out the zip code where you live, work, vacation, or anything else! You can then share your unique URL with friends and find out where the rest of them live and work in relation to everyone else."

As we mentioned in episode #17, we’re off this holiday Monday (AKA Turkey Day).  We want to wish everyone celebrating a wonderful day and dinner. 

More commandN
We’ll be back on track next week with another episode (and we’re happy to say that Brian will also be back next week from his Cali wedding tour).  In episode #18 we’ll be announcing our Sweet 16 Contest winners (Seagull 3 reg codes for the best web apps) and we’ll show you what turned up in our in-boxes when we asked you how Mikey should style his hair.
