Is it my imagination or is Amanda’s hair getting straighter and straighter with each passing day?
Speaking of hair…here’s The King of Hair

Lots of stuff today.
Wow, in addition to watching today’s news packed progrum and having Amanda swing around and me in this swivel chair, I became quite dizzy. So, I looked up this Latin based word in the wikipedia. Know what I found?
Find out below and listen to two new podcasts I posted with fresh pop music and a world weather report.
Thanks for all the news (did you have to show the baby, I have been avoiding that yikes!)

Hehe that lightning story is really something. I guess the big guy upstairs has really done his PR well. I mean somewhere on this planet there’s a football match just finished and the winning team praises the lord where as the losing team will just blame themselves.
Amanda …could you please move the map about a foot to (our) left (where it used to be - or slide your desk to the viewer’s right) so you are centered in the Atlantic …that would frame you better.
Is that keyboard that Amanda is always punching away @ really hooked up to anything, or is it just a prop?
Can’t blog this!
Airbags on scooters. Talk about getting blown.
Don’t be fooled! The Gay Marriage amendment hooey is just to take your focus off the horrible job they’re doing in D.C.!
Good one. Manda time…can’t touch dis.
Although Rocketboom may be avaialble in the UAE (not sure if it is?), I have just been informed by someone who lives there that when they go to the flickr site they get: This sight (sic) is blocked by UAE because it is “against the religious and moral priniciples of the UAE.”
That is a Texas Instruments 99-4A computer on Amanda’s desktop. Circa 1984.
It is a prop at this point.
I’m saying that snake on the plane is just a publicity stunt for the new movie…
SNAKES ON A PLANE!
I just want to know how Mentos make Diet Coke shoot 20 ft in the air. That’s awesome.
Finally - the answer I was looking for: where’s Cheney opinion been throughout the gay-marriage psuedo-brouhaha? Still wondering: why hasn’t he said anything?
Thanks RB!
Hey, kids! What time is it?? It’s “AMANDA TIME!”
Also time to call your state senators and tell them to vote no to the bogus gay marriage ban amendment. Ticked it off my my “to do” list already.
i don’t get the darwin award reference.
Loved the Rapid Fire News (aka Rocket News, da Boom). Could you make it reoccurring segment?
It may be a great way to summarize an evolving issue; just read a few of the past headlines in chronological order and as if they’re one paragraph. Here’s a summary of recent Iran / US relations via actual headlines.
Iran part of ‘Axis of Evil,’ says Bush.
Iran’s New President: “The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire worldâ€Â.
Cheney says Iran nuclear situation ‘dangerous’.
Iran Letter to Bush Criticizes U.S.
Rice Downplays Letter from Iran’s President.
Russia lauds US offer of talks with Iran.
Iran warns US on oil shipments.
Rocketboom’s Dubai bureau to host US / Iranian talks.
Looks like the Delorean for sale mentioned on May 31, 2006 was probably dropped due to it being re-listed. Looks like it went for $55,000.
Gotta get back to the future. Keep up the good vlog, Amanda.

I’m pleasantly surprised that the laptop burning story made RocketBoom with the Pro-Apple attitude it normally has. But, then again, you did fail to mention that it was an Apple.. baby steps Amanda.
P.S. You should wear your glasses every now and then :-)
Whoa Billl is fulll of hot air aint he? Yoiks….
Someone needs to get those mentos/soda guys in touch with the Insane Clown Posse
That might be a match made in heaven.
Great Show today. Eh bien
you’re priceless!

Well, rooty tooty, bill, there already are (and have been for a spell) gay books in the library and gays ARE a normal part of society (have you always only been aware of only those who are just like you?). Tolerance of differences is a good thing, nu? And how do you “brainwash” anyone if man&woman is the obvious choice?
There, you’ve got your expected reaction, and from a married straight female, at that.
missed the csi cameo, is it gonna be up on youtube or somesuch?
The teenager trying to stop the train probably felt a bit run down afterward - must have had a one track mind.
Diet Coke demo- must be something to do with America’s pop culture? I was amazed the story didn’t just fizzle out and go flat at the end.
Burning laptop’s - somehow I thought the story was going to be about the potential liability associated with being an exotic dancer.
Woman struck by lightning - How Shocking!
Matchstick Titanic - wonder how much was sunk into that project?
Mouse-in -burrito - Some places charge extra for that.
bacteria electrical excrement - So that’s why I get a charge out of candy bars… dang!
Deodorant demolition - After tragedies of this nature, one must simply roll-on.
Snake in cockpit - some places charge extra…
I have more… but I won’t….
Good news…Rocketboom t-shirt contest extended to May 12th!
http://www.rocketboom.com/t
Sweet!
Laughs…”hotter!” Now this is the kind of show that forces me to tell folks about RB!
Maybe that link started off the whole Mentos and Coke thing? The first half are still shots, the second half is live video. Wow.
I love Rocketboom, but where have they been with that Dubai story and photo???
I posted about that exact frame three months ago:
http://www.bossplot.com/blog/2006/6/6/rocketboom-wakes-up-to-dubai.html
Better late than never. I’m glad they dug and found that’s it not all oil but real growth in Dubai.
Does anybody else hate that RB redirects you to the archives page now? Is that just because the June 6 show isn’t available yet?
It just sucks that I go to the show and eighteen thousand thumbnails start downloading. Not needed. Unnecessario.
duuude Amanda it just so happens my coworker sent around the mentos-diet coke thing this morning. amazing. simply…amazing.
No RB on Tuesday?

OMG! First Tom C and his Merry Band of Scientologists, and now . . .
El Diablo!
AMANDA IS THE COOLEST NEWS LADY IN THE WORLD. I’M A HUGE FAN.

GEEZE LERON, I JUST PLAYED THAT VIDEO. GROSS….AND COOL
