One day before Episode 18 hits, and the Episode 17 recap is going up!  Talk about time management, folks!

Episode 17 was over 3 hours (we had a lot of time to make up from missing the previous week!), and it was a lot of fun.  We had a lot to talk about.  We discussed potentially moving the show from UStream.TV to Justin.TV because of the number of users being so much larger on Justin.TV.  Please send us your feedback on that issue.

We doubled up our “of the week” items to make up for the missing week:

Damn the Man!  Fight the power!  Vive la Resistance!

Wait…am I allowed to say that now?  For the last eight years, I was part of that group of people who could say stuff like that.  I was the revolution.  I was the oppressed masses.  I was the righteous anger.

Now I’m the man; I’m the power.  I can’t say “Damn the Man!” anymore.  Why would I damn myself?  I can’t “fight the power”, because I’m not in second grade anymore, so why would I be hitting myself?  The roles have been reversed.  The Man is the Revolution, and the Revolution is the Man.

On the one hand, it sucks, because there’s a certain sense of pride and importance in being the resistance, and it is very hard to quickly change a mindset eight years in the making.  On the other hand, as the Man, things should start going my way, right?  Well, that’s the plan, at least.

Fingers crossed, eh?
