I'm pretty psyched, but not the least bit surprised, that my wife Jenny and friend Nicole have started a podcast (about knitting) that has been out about 5 days and is already climbing the iTunes charts, listened to and beloved by more people than read all my own blogs and blogging projects put together, and basically just kicks all kinds of ass. They are so great at all aspects of it -- from the planning, the recording, the editing, the show notes, to just being the kind of people you enjoy listening to for a half hour. If you are into knitting (or even if you're not), I highly (and biasedly) recommend it.

(And, oh yeah, all of these blogs are on TypePad. Jenny and Nic have taken baby steps on Vox, but they're pretty dedicated to TypePad. We may have to cajole them to post over here more often.)

It's a good week for comedy. The San Francisco Sketchfest is in full swing and Kasper Hauser are taking the stage tonight and Friday and doing a sketch-writing workshop on Saturday. (And, cooler still, I got the troupe to start a Vox page. Look for more over there soon.) But, friends, that's not why I'm writing. No, the reason I'm here is to tell you to watch the Comedy Central debut of The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show later tonight.

I originally saw their act at Sketchfest a few years ago and was blown away. It's a lot of great things: surprising, endearing, musical, and, of course, like all good comedy, horribly horribly offensive. No, I kid. Actually, it's really sweet stuff. Fans of Dave Koechner (SNL, Anchorman) and Dave "Gruber" Allen (Mr. Rosso of Freaks and Geeks!) have good reason to tune in, alert the TiVo, and just generally rejoice. Tonight at 10:30 (or thereabouts) on Comedy Central.
