TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Reboot edition
Well, after last week's technical issues with the show, I believe that everything will work perfectly today. Why? Well, based on Doc Rock's input, I have a new WiFi router that should handle the streaming traffic with no problem. I have changed the settings for the upload to reduce the bandwidth requirements a bit. And most importantly, Bionic Barb is not working from home this week and clogging our precious bandwidth with VPN traffic. My good buddy Randy Nelson won't be able to join me this week, so if he's the "bad luck Brian" who has been causing my Ustream woes, that should be another check mark in the plus column. (Just kidding, Randy, I love having you on the show!) As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EST (2 PM PST / 10 PM GMT) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate. If you're unable to join us for the show, remember that you can always subscribe to the video podcast and watch the show at your leisure in iTunes or any other favorite podcatching app. The past shows are also available on the TUAW YouTube channel.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Flying solo
After a bunch of TUAW TV Live episodes featuring various buddies Skyped into my machine, I've decided to do a solo gig this week. I'm not sure if Skype is what has been causing some of the issues that have occurred recently, but this might be a good way to do a little bit of troubleshooting while having a whole lot of fun. Believe it or not, I have some unboxing to do, so you'll get to see some new toys. There are a few new favorite apps I want to show off as well, so be prepared for demo time! And as always, I will be responding to the insanity of the chat room.

TUAW TV Live: Broken resolutions, broken hardware
The last few days at the Sande household have been hectic, what with Bionic Barb getting hit with a stomach virus, our Internet service providing dial-up modem speeds for several days, what appeared to be a faulty AirPort Extreme Base Station and some other hardware that's apparently gone bad. It's also that time of year when a lot of people start thinking about changing their lives for the better, so on today's TUAW TV Live we'll chat about resolutions and how quickly they are usually broken -- and how some apps can help you keep improving your life.

TUAW TV Live: Blogging in LA
Yeah, so I'm in LA right now. That doesn't mean that I'm hitting the beaches, cruising the freeways, or surfing. No, I'm here with Bionic Barb (she's attending a conference), and basically I'm working on my TUAW writing and doing some edits on a book.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Live from LA
This week, I'm in Los Angeles, Calif. While I can't guarantee that today's show will come from poolside (the hotel I'm staying at is really close to LAX and the airplane noise might be a bit loud), I can assure you that we'll have a chance to chat about our favorite fruit-flavored consumer electronics company today. And there's a lot to talk about!
