The Geek House is open and we had quite a party on Friday, August 1. We live streamed all the events of the evening for over five hours! If you weren’t able to catch it live, we’ve got it for you here, in a slightly trimmed down form.
We had some amazing guests, live and on Skype, including Patrick Norton, Leo Laporte, Alex Lindsay, Dan Pidgeon, Phil Nickinson, Jeff Dwelle, Todd Abrams, Chris Pirillo, and Tom Merritt. Sending their best wishes along in recorded messages were Jason Carne, Trey Ratcliff, Jeffrey Hayzlett, and Jeffrey Powers.
After the show we we treated to awesome musical performances from Philip Nelson, Daria Musk, and Steve Thompson.

Just got done watching the clip with Patrick Norton. Cali, i heard you commenting on that he has been on tv a long time. He sure has, i remember watching him and Leo Laporte on TechTv’s The ScreenSavers back when TechTv was a part of ZDnet. When G4 bought TechTv, they destroyed everything.
Great job! I wish I was there too party with you guys!
Thanks for all you do for us!
Good Luck
Dan
