On this week's show we talked about how to make your own kick-ass web show, and one of the bits we covered was Johnny Chung Lee's $14 steadycam project.

We've known Bre Pettis for years now, and I have to say that no one epitomizes the web DIY ethic more than him. In the course of his varied career, he has been a puppeteer, a teacher, a videoblogger, a web show producer, and a television host, not to mention a founder of NYC Resistor. Phil Torrone of Make Magazine said in The Wall Street Journal that Bre was like Mr. Rogers, Mr. Wizard and Bill Nye "The Science Guy" rolled into one. That's a cool description, but I think eventually Bre will be a brand all his own.
The Large Hadron Collider a.k.a the Atom Smasher a.k.a. Sh*t That Will Get You Killed was compromised by a team of hackers calling themselves Group 2600 of the Greek Security Team.
"We're pulling your pants down because we don't want to see you running around naked looking to hide yourselves when the panic comes..."They signed off:
"We are 2600 - don't mess with us."
