The CrapMonkey Podcast Episode #125
January 20, 2008 8:57 pm
It’s 2008 and I’m starting the new year off with new toys. In addition to upgrading to the released version of Windows Home Server and adding an Xbox into the mix, I’ve also updated my mobile phone to a Tilt. As such, I thought I’d share my favorite mobile applications (Shozu, Windows Live Search Mobile, NewsgatorGo). Also, my favorite blog aggregator, Feeddemon, is now free – so download your copy today.
A new bar is opening in Ballard this week that you are going to want to check out. It’s called Ocho and is on the corner of 24th and Market (also worth mentioning, it will be opening with Diamond Knot IPA on tap). Another cool location in the Ballard area is a new sake bar on 65th called TigerTail. Don’t worry if you aren’t into sake because they also have an excellent beer selection (including Rogue’s Chocolate Stout on draft). I welcomed TigerTail into town the only way I know how, with a CrapMonkey Restroom Review.
The Song of the day is “Beautiful Lie” by Beth Thornley. The website of the day is The Beer Connoisseur multi-media beer school put out by HeresToBeer.com. The show closes on a song called “Happy New Year” by Wind is Mindblowing. Thanks for listening and Happy New Year.

Hey Travis,
Great to receive a new CrapMonkey Podcast! And, thanks for the shout-out to Shozu — I have a much earlier HTC phone (the t-mobile MDA) — I’m not a raving fan of it, but it was a very early version, so I’m hoping you have a much better experience. Also, since you’re fully microsoft-enabled, I’m sure it’s pretty seemless for you (I’m using a lot of Google Aps for Domain and Apple stuff, so not as perfect on the integration front).
Hope to catch up soon!

Hey Travis!
Congrats on getting an Xbox. I love how we can watch videos and pictures on our living room TV. We just got an Xbox and an Xbox 360. Those are cool for networking and we have a Wii which lets us watch YouTube and basically access the internet on the TV. I am enjoying the games on the Wii, but I think I may have to get Tron on the Xbox. I haven’t really looked into the games available, but that was one of my favorite games when I used to hang out in the arcades as a teen. Yes, I was that much of a nerd even WAY back then! I did get Super Mario Bros 3 for the Wii and I play that with my daughter. She rules at stomping goombas.
I’ve never used any reader other than Googles RSS reader, so I’m going to check out FeedDemon on your recommendation because that sounds very cool.
And finally, I dig the new icon/logo. Lookin’ good! I’m happy to hear you putting out a show!
Take care!
Travis,
What is your Xbox 360 profile Username? I’ll add you to my Friends list.
