===You hurt my feelings===
Hey BOL dudes, 
You hurt my feelings when you called me a smack talker while I was listening to your podcast over a 100 Megabit fiber connection, so I have decided to send you proof that your 
American DSL is really really slow. Go to 
http://www.dslreports.com/archive?c=us 
and look at the fastest connections as stated by dsl reports, and then look at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Broadband_Network 
and prepare to be AMAZED (I meant, jealous) by our whopper of an internet connection speed.

Hell-o JoToMo, 
How's is it go-ing? Writing in response to ep 708 (which btw is "tob" in leet speek. So if BOL=708=TOB... BOL=TOB 
at any rate... 
Your story about using stem cells reminded me of this story from CBS that I found on Digg in march.

To sum up the article they take a powder made from pigs blatter and sprinkle it on a severed limb and it grows back... they interview a man who grew back a finger inc bone, skin, muscle (meat), and the nail !
I don't wanna geek out but when this stuff hits the market I hope they call it Bacta. 
thx for buzzing my ears 5 days a week,
looking forward to your live show in Monterey.

===Playstation Home===
Hi BUZZ crew,
In episode 708 you talked about Home for the PS3 being delayed & Molly said she couldn't really figure out what it is used for.
Well I'm in the closed beta & it is more than Mii's on parade!
Yea there is a bunch of second life stuff, you can customize your avatar, it's clothes, your apartment & etc but for me the big draw is going to be private games.
You will be able to invite people to join you in a private game session & to be able to have several people join me for some Gran Turismo 5 Prologue so we won't have to deal with all the kids driving the wrong way on the racetrack is a great feature.
There is more things it can be used for I'm sure but the private game rooms is a biggie for me.
Later,
Dave in Broken Arrow, OK
