What's on the radio today includes:

    - Kirstie Alley has been removed by Jenny Craig, um, cause, she's um, well, let's just say she's now planning to market her own weight loss program.

    - Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell are coming to Vancouver to finish Heath Ledger's last film.

    - The Oscars go this weekend. If No Country for Old Men wins, it will set a record. If you need to catch up on your viewing before the show, check out the film listings.

    - I like blogging. I blog lots.  Maybe too much.  Gotta be careful, as CNN has just fired a producer for commnets made on their personal blog.

    - In the drama that is US politics, Barack Obama is getting hammered for, once again, lifting his speech text from someone else's speech.

    - The BC Budget came down today.  Get ready to pay more for gas.

Unboxing is a favourite geek pasttime. Some might even call it geek porn.

Get something new? Take a picture. Every.step.of.the.way.

I received a new pair of Creative Aurvana Live yesterday, and I thought I’d try my first unboxing.

Sure, it’s not as cool as the Apple IIc unbox, or a MacBook Air unbox, but this is my unbox. Here it is

I’m looking forward to test hearing them this afternoon on the air, I’ll post a review then.

Leo Laporte is the host of many podcasts, tv and radio shows about technology. His TWiT Network is one of the most listened to online, and he comes up to Vancouver 1 week a month to work on The Lab With Leo.

He loves his gear. He’s usually on the bleeding edge for buying the latest and greatest, sitting on waiting lists until something new is released.

But every now and again Leo waits and buys something a little further down the line, and when he does, it means the item is about to be discontinued.

He’ll buy the HD DVD player the day before the battle is lost to Blu Ray, he’ll buy a new iPod the day before the memory is doubled and the size is shrunk.

It’s called getting Leo’d, and it just happened to me.

I finally received my iPod Shuffle that I scooped on the Future Shop Boxing Day Sale for $59.99. A GREAT deal I thought. Nope.

Today Apple announced the price of the shuffle has dropped to $55, and a new 2 gig model is being introduced for $75.

Grrr.
