Hey it’s Sunday again (…boy was that quick). Now I have to begin my reconditioning for Monday. It’s all a psych game but I’ve become real good at it. One day I may even convince myself it’s real.

Anyway, today I want to talk about a situation that happened recently that deals with Leo Laporte of Leoville and This Week in Tech. Yesterday Leo and Feedburner (a service that many use to put their RSS through to generate stats) had somewhat of a misunderstanding. I will not go through the whole deal on this site but you can read the post for more detailed information. What I do want to address, is the way some pod-listeners are responding to the way Leo handled himself. Some, i believe only a few, felt he may have hurt Feedburner because of his decision to remove the RSS and use his own service, even after he realized the misunderstanding may have been on his part. This also is explained more on the post.

Leo I commend you on how you handled yourself. If anyone knows anything about Leo, as far as how he has conducted himself in the past on shows such as Call for Help and The Screen Savers, many would realize Leo has always owned up to a misquote or misunderstanding. And not only that, but he does it as soon as he is aware of it or if it’s mention again.

I personally do not know Leo (I missed the Toronto meetup) but I have read many articles, seen many interviews, listened to many radio shows, and now podcasts, and it’s a rare occasion when someone in the spotlight, small or big, apologizes, let alone admit when he or she is wrong. So Leo I applaud you. It is actions like this that will keep many a TWiT fans coming back for more. Not just for you Leo but also the TWiT team.

By the way for those who may not know (which may be only a few), Call for Help is back on in the States as of August 29th (Yahooooo!). You can catch it, can you believe it, on G4 weekdays at 11a Eastern/8a Pacific and weekends at 6 and 7a Eastern. We may even get to see some Kevin Rose.

Now from the artist in me, here’s something you may not have known. For those who are looking for a way to distribute there films, Amazon with CustomFlix’s has a program named Amazon CustomFlix (duh duh).

If you have a film you would like distributed, this may be an easy way. I”M willing to try it. Because I know, it would bring tears to my eyes to see something of mine shown to an audience. Even if it’s just a handful of people like your family, Give it a try.
