70- A Chat with Leo Laporte

The title says it all. We drove all the way up to Petaluma, CA to deliver the gadget station to the one and only, Leo Laporte. We had the pleasure of hanging out in the TWiT Cottage where Leo records all of his shows, and streams them live at TwitLive.tv. And the coolest part is that the gadget station seems to have found a permanent home on the shelf behind Leo’s desk. Nicole and I were quite ecstatic to meet Leo. Mission accomplished!
Gadget Station is Internet Famous
Last week we finally had a chance to deliver the Gadget Station to Leo Laporte. We actually had a chance to be on his show TWiTLive.tv and Leo was incredibly grateful. You can hear him discuss the gadget station on a recent GizWiz show: Giz Wiz #682. As an added bonus, I had the good fortune of meeting Cali Lewis from one of my favorite podcasts, GeekBrief.tv. Cali and Neal were very cool and lucky for us, they decided to mention the gadget station on a recent show as well: GeekBrief #450. Enjoy!

Time to embark on our next project: a Gadget Station. Most people have tons of gadgets laying around the house these days, and they all need to be charged. So my goal is to create a wall hanging cabinet that houses the electronics in a safe and organized fashion. An interesting point of interest with this project is that the recipient is the one and only, Leo Laporte (The Tech Guy).
Now here’s another great thing about this project. Since many of you could also use something like this in your own homes, I am inviting you to build a gadget station of your own design, right along with me! There are so many ways you can take this project that it should be incredibly fun and educational to see where you folks take the design. As discussed in the video, here are the challenges we need to tackle: 1- Heat, 2- Cord Management, 3- Organization, and 4- Aesthetics. If we get enough people interested in building a Gadget Station, I will set up live meetup nights where we can discuss our progress and compare ideas. Just an FYI, the wood hasn’t even arrived yet so the next video will not be out for a little while. But don’t let that stop you from starting yours. Thanks!
