I've been a frequent guest on this show since July 1998. Originally hosted by Bobby Rivers, of "Good Day New York" morning show (and VH-1 v-jay) fame, it is now hosted by Scott Rigby, founder and president of Thoughtbubble.

A chronicle of the people and events in technology, internet and media since 1997, mixed in with snapshots of musings and observations.
