hmm first?
Is the WMV file going to be complete soon? It cuts out during the sausage eating.
It’s not Thursday August 8 on my calendar ;-)
Great show I liked the stories today!
Val Tone’
good show in bad quality and her hair was weird
Why use a map as a background? Isn’t Joanne’s voice indicative of the world savy nature of RB 2.0? Why not have art images be the background?
Golf-course have grass? All I’ve played on is sand.
you, you and you need a map to find your new map, be carefull when you leave your comment today joanne, don’t say nothing porn to drew or your comment will be deleted.
what? you guys don’t have anything better to do in NYC except sit around and watch the grass bend? looks like someone’s been telling me tall tales about that place!
Good stuff today. I knew that grass was not to be trusted…wait…that’s not…aaaanyway. Good luck with the map hunt over the weekend. Boom-yea.
is “coment” the British spelling of “comment”. (Joanne first coment).
Interesting you tube quality video.
OK - enough - still love the show.
What’s up with the lame “I’m still looking for a map”. The whole map thing is getting really tired.
Sorry to say that, but I really miss Amanda in Rocketboom!
she was performing a little better than Joanne.
Good show, nice quirkly stories and fun to watch JC as usual. Did seem a bit darker in terms of picture quality today and I miss JC’s funny chair send-off at the end…that should be a staple of the show!
I like JC better she is easier to watch. Amanda was like a Blue LED - pretty but hard to focus on and very bright. JC is more like the host of a tv show. Thanks JC for making each episode interesting and fun to watch.
You have to admit it’s getting better.
Better all the time.
JC your fab.
Another good show in my opinion. Light fun and entertaining! And Joanne is very very cute. Even my wife says so! Just enjoyable to watch and listen to. You do a good job Joanne and your team does as well! Thanks for another good show guys!
Genetically modified grass is responsible for crop circles!
TOP SECRET: oooh FBI at door, must run, must get (bang, bang) a-waaaaay.
I’ve been shot, shit.
must dial 9-1-1
bang, bang
Must scribble note before I expire:
…crop circles gov’t secret grass project!
(OK Hollywood, send me the contract, this will be a blockbuster summer hit 2007)
That was my etheric body thinking out loud…white tunnel…maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“Nothing comes from nothing” is from King Lear. (Act I, Scene 1, line 92, “Nothing can come of nothing: speak again.”)
Lear disinherits his daughter Cordelia because she doesn’t flatter him in the manner of his other daughters. The irony is that she is his only sincerely loving child.
Joanne’s use of it here seems to be a clue to some kind of puzzle, but heck if I know what it’s pointing to.
I’ve got an idea for the map:
Switch to a green screen and use Google map satelite images of various locales. The spot of the day could be chosen based on relevance to one of the stories or could be used as a kind of “Where in the world is Joanne Colan?” thing. Granted, this would take more work and might be difficult on a daily basis, but would offer an added point of interest.
Keep up the good work.
What makes Kobiashi so amazing is that he appears to be incredibly fit, not an ounce of fat on him.
So I guess you chose to go with a map…again? Alrighty…it’s your show. Anyhoo, good show…bad hair. You are so pretty Joanne, but your hair needs a bit of a fix up…as does mine. I am going to get on it…
Don’t know about any of you others but I’m shooting for Joanne to reply to *MY* post…
…So I’m looking to help her solve her MAP problem
How about this for a replacement?

Love you’s guys’s work ;-)
Hi Joanne
You look adorable with your hair like that.
Bratwurst eating contest? Sen. Liberman? These are stories I expect from my local news show (and which I got last nigth) not from a cutting edge, quirky online video blog. It’s becoming less quirky and cutting edge every day. There’s barely enough for me to keep cheking back, but in the hope that it returns, I’ll still watch. Good luck!
Sweet as a nut!
Joanne, easy on the eye makeup kiddo.
Easy on the blush.
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Joanne just made my day, week, month and year!! She decided to check the blog just *after* ‘lil ‘ol me was posting - DOINK

I suspect the comment at 1:32 PM was not really from Drew of RB. As I mentioned yesterday, I suggest moving useless comments to another list so everyone else does not need to wade through them, but curious people can still see what was censored.
Joanne,
You are prettier, smarter and funnier than the other host. What’s her name? You have more info too. It’s a daily must-see.
I think you should beware of spelling mistakes… In the pulldown menu, it says “Joanne fist coment” :)
As for he King Lear quote - here is my spin. Leiberman has been loyal to his party. The bone of contention has been his support of the war effort. Thus the Demoratic party has dissed him. Interesting how Hillary gets to stick around though. This is a shame because he has been a moderating voice in a very divided and divisive political climate. He will be running as an independent. This will be interesting to watch.
love the show but a lil boring today…
Just for the record: The barrette look works.
Joanne, you’re both beautiful and sexy! is my bias showing? maybe I should pull my pants back up. (just kidding about the pants.) However, you do make my sphincter tingle. great show today, you looked like an angel!
This episode needs a deinterlacing filter.
Enough of the kid who ate too many hot dogs.
Drink more Pimms
I only delete the negative comments and then right a few of the positive ones.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Great show! WTG downing Leiberman’s site! LOL
A couple of the things wrong with deleting “negative” comments.
1) It causes the tone of the comments section to ring false. Like a bald man with a comb-over, you mainly kid only yourself.
2) It makes it look as if you can’t take a punch.
Great show. But what’s with the makeup today?
Kobayashi..wasn’t he the lawyer in The Usual Suspects. No wait it was a dish manufacture.
Kobayaski, dish manufacture or eating champ?
Coincidence?
I think not!
Great show today! On the backgrouds…how about simply cycling through images that are topical for each story…minimize joanne in a PIP window as appropriate instead of panning back and forth…in other words minimize/maximize joanne.
Just shave your head!
I can’t find a post that says what happened to Amanda. What is she doing now, does she still do video?
Can you please hush about the map, it’s getting old and i’m still trying to move on with you.
Inspecting the grass must have been an “outstanding” accomplishment!
Looks like Libeman will need an entirely new “gig”.
Calls to the future seem to have their “hang-ups”. I probably shouldn’t take that “tone”.
Beard contest? Sounds Grew-some.
I don’t think I could stomach all those bratwurst.
Just remember, if you’re nose runs and your feet smell, you’re probably put together backwards.
Thanks Jack!
notes on new rocketboom
1) Joanne is a huge improvement
2) she actually appears constrained by the current format, behind a desk sitting down. she seemed much more natural, accessable and more relaxed outside during the fast-walking segment on Fri. she seems to be better when able to move around more
3) suggest a format like standing up or on a barstool-type chair without the desk, with topic-based background.
or simply sitting on top of the desk….
4) if she is not reading from the papers she is holding then they are a distraction for everyone involved.
5) regarding content - I believe viewers are looking forward to more personal comments on the sites being featured. the interesting part is rocketboom’s, and thus joanne’s take on what these sites mean in the larger life context. This site seems like it should be about your perspective, which is attractive to viewers to the extent that we somehow resonate with it.
6) one perhaps fun idea might be to show sites that have a subtle commonality that only becomes obvious at the end of the segment, something that viewers have to look for…
that’s all for now
oh yeah - one more suggestion
stop all of your public/internet talk about Amanda, business issues, legal issues, rocketboom future plans, etc. this stuff is a distraction from the message. I believe that most folks no longer care about the transition, and you are actually doing more harm by bringing it up…
Why not turn the map upsidedown. Who said the earth is that way up :) Joanne I think your really good, will you be my wife :)
Great show! I am glad you finally drop that keyboard prop.
For the back drop.. Why not project images on the back wall?
Image the possibilities of images that can be projected.
Cheers
Getting better and better. I liked this one a lot.
