From our feedback it seems that the Podcast Expo Live show was the one that most of you wanted us to repeat…so here you go. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Stormtroopers and Ewoks coming to the 2007 Rose Parade via Digg
Come Jan. 1, you will be part of a 30th-anniversary Star Wars blowout in the streets of Pasadena, California. There’ll be an Ewoks float. There’ll be a planet Naboo float. There’ll be a 175-piece college marching band
Ladies and gentlemen, we want to hear from you! It’s time to start finding out what you like and what you know. Let’s start out simple…
A full grown Tiger with a litter of baby piglets, say it ain’t so via Digg
It’s not exactly what it sounds like. The tigress lost her kittens and became depressed so the zookeepers introduced a set of piglets wrapped in tiger skin as a surrogate litter. But still, shouldn’t a big cat like that still smell the pigs as food?
Foiled! via Digg
A great office prank and pretty cheap to pull off too.
‘Hibernating’ man survives for 3 weeks via Digg
A man who went missing in western Japan survived in near-freezing weather without food and water for over three weeks by falling into a state similar to hibernation, doctors said.

Forget the Cardboard Box Fort; Plans on making a Whole Cardboard Castle via Digg
This is just the thing to protect you and your imaginary kingdom from the evil cardboard armies. Be careful if you decide to go hard core and install a moat.
Oddly enough, cardboard bridges can be constructed to hold the weight of real people, so it’s not totally ridiculous to scale up the cardboard castle to life size proportions.
Pac-Man hits the road via Reddit
Wocka wocka wocka…gulp. 100 pts.
Silent Star Wars via Digg
Did you ever wonder how Star Wars would be if it was shot in black and white and edited as a silent movie? Me neither, but now you can do more than imagine it.

Over at digg they started promoting podcasts. Which is a good thing considering the traffic that digg gets and podcasts is one of 4 main choices at the top of the site. So (and a thanks to Rob at Podcast411 for pointing this out) that is sure to give podcasting a lot of exposure. So … if you feel so inclined give Technorama a leg up! You can digg for the Show in General and the individual episodes.
Here is the link to our Digg feed.
Undersea Spies: Turning Sharks into Robotic Sentries via /.
Hey! Where are the laser beams? Is it too much to ask for sharks with fricking laser beams on their foreheads?
Top 5 Strangest Laptop Mods via Digg
Check out the pedal powered laptop. No hand-cranking needed for this puppy. Youtube Link
Brains can recover from alcoholic damage via Digg
… but patients should stop drinking as soon as possible. 6-7 weeks of sobriety = 2% increase in brain volume. Well, if you only use something like 10% anyway, maybe 2% of the unused 90% is significant. Perhaps there is hope for Mennegasia after all.

A fish that swims in “volcanoes” via Clipmarks
A species of flatfish have been found living and thriving in deep waters near sulphur pools where the temperature is around 355 deg. F. and pH of around 2 (like sulfuric acid oddly enough).
100 things we didn’t know this time last year via Digg
35. The name Lego came from two Danish words “leg godt”, meaning “play well”. It also means “I put together” in Latin
45. C3PO and R2D2 do not speak to each other off-camera because the actors don’t get on.
65. Actor James Doohan, who played Scotty, had a hand in creating the Klingon language that was used in the movies, and which Shakespeare plays were subsequently translated into.
