MacbreakMBW 81: Throbbers, excess moisture, Johnson Rods, and Male Answer SyndromeMerlin Mann | Mar 20 2008MacBreak Weekly 81: Click the Throbber
Here's a direct MP3 download of MBW 81. Very fun episode this week if I do say so. Andy and I nerded out a lot, there was much jollity, we worked blue a few times, and my (repeat) pick o' the week is SafariStand -- specifically for the amazing "Copy Link as Markdown" and "Copy Link HTML Tag" functionality. Dammit: go pimp your Safari!
Update, 2008-03-20 16:29:45 Next Week: Patrick Wilson from Weezer
Oh, man. How did I forget this? Next week, MacBreak Weekly's special guest will be Pat Wilson, the drummer from Weezer and The Rentals and the multi-instrumental leader of That Special Goodness. Yeah, I know; I can't believe it, either, but he actually asked Leo if he could be on the show. Weird. I wonder if he sent email to the wrong place and actually thinks we're Grammar Girl or something. Anyhow, it's on, and I'm thrilled, because I go way back with Weezer. After the jump's a live video of an old Weezer favorite (which, according to WikiPee, Pat co-wrote), "My Name is Jonas." read more »6 Comments

MacBreak 74: Hot Lips and HawkeyeMerlin Mann | Jan 22 2008MacBreak Weekly 74: Hot Lips and Hawkeye
> Hosts: Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Andy Ihnatko, and Rich Siegel > A look back at Macworld, Office spreads out, MacHeist, .Mac future bright and cloudy, certain gestures and more. Here's a direct MP3 download of MBW 74. I think this might be one of my favorite episodes of MacBreak Weekly. Say what you will about the podcast medium, it's amazing to be able to pull an articulate person like Rich Siegel into your conversation midway -- (~00:38:15) -- just via IM and a phone number. Very cool. So. That said. I really want the promoters and developer-fans of MacHeist to have their opportunity to respond to what Rich (and we) had to say. Clearly we all think a lot of the Mac indie community, so it'd be valuable to continue the conversation in a way that's fair and civil for everybody. Directions on how to get your voice heard appear around (~00:57:11) of this episode. update 2008-01-25 08:21:01

Macworld Expo '08: Merlin visits with Panic, Agile Web Solutions, and James from New JerseyMerlin Mann | Jan 20 2008Macworld Expo wouldn't be the same for me if I didn't have the chance to hit the floor and talk to the kids for MacBreak. This year, I returned to Tiny Town to talk to my new internet boyfriends, Cabel and Steven, at Panic, Dave Teare from my beloved 1Password, as well as the charming James from New Jersey who says he doesn't want to punch Steve Jobs, no matter what.

MBW 58; Pick of the week is AcornMerlin Mann | Sep 24 2007MacBreak Weekly 58: Repeal the Nerd Tax
> Hosts: Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Alex Lindsay, and Chris Breen > Chris reviews the new iPods, screen issues with the Touch, and the trouble with ringtones... Here's a direct MP3 download of MBW 58. Oh, brother, I was totally high on cold medicine when we did this episode. But, not so high that I couldn't recommend Flying Meat's amazing new Acorn, a stripped-down, and very inexpensive graphics app. It's one my favorite Mac programs of the year. read more »POSTED IN:

Saft for Safari on MacBreak MinuteMerlin Mann | Aug 2 2007In the latest episode of MacBreak Minute (subscribe), I talked about a Safari plug-in I like a lot called Saft.
Although my short demo only covers bookmarking a set of tabs, Saft does way more. To quote the lovely and talented Jon Hicks:
Saft for Tiger is $12.00 and can be ordered online. POSTED IN:
