Rebuilding TechTV?

pirillo

Chris Pirillo [ http://chris.pirillo.com/ ] posted an interesting idea on his blog, and a call to arms for all TechTV fans and fanatics: “Let’s Rebuild TechTV!”

Pirillo believes that any future incarnation of TechTV would have to be sourced by the fan community that would love and nuture it and insulate it from the kidns of interests that spelled doom for TechTV; and he’s looking for fans and technology enthusiasts to help put together a website or portal where the content developers, people like himself and the TWiT folks(namely Leo) and the folks at DL.TV and Revision3 and CommandN could all get together to publish their content together, upload flash video and such. From his blog:

I’m thinking we could do something a bit more permanent (at least, online). I believe the community can bring the idea of “TechTV” back to life. What we’ll need, of course, is YOUR HELP.

TechTV Forever would be more than happy to contribute resources to the project! And it looks like we’re not the only ones; lots of webmasters and hosts have replied to the post stating their willingness to get involved and get serious about a project like this. Here’s hoping soon we’ll have a new TechTV, in whatever incarnation it might be.

Becky Worley herself steps in on this one and helps Tanya pick the right TV and gear to geek out her place, but also how to use the parental controls on the XBox, for example, to keep her kids not just entertained and help them have a good time, but healthy and well-adjusted at the same time!

On this week’s episode of Lab Rats, Andy, Sean, Biff, and Boo take us through the Windows registry; you know, that deep dark place that few venture bravely and angels fear to tread. Seriously, they show us that while the registry is important and you should back it up prior to making any changes, it’s definitely nothing to fear and a lot of good can be done with some registry tweaks and changes.
