The Global Geek Podcast #029
Welcome to the one less than 30 show! We had the privilege of a special guest on the show today, Jason Van.

Guys! Bah, I *know* how to connect my PC to my XBOX, that wasn’t the question! I want to connect my *iPod* to the XBOX. The PC is several floors away from the room the XBOX is in and I don’t want ethernet cables running through the house. Thanks for trying though! Yeah Knightwise, I’m lazy.
Great show!
cheers
