For those wondering if the woman who possess the sexy voice behind the "standby for installation" voiceover was as easy on the eyes as she is on the ears, here's a photo she made on a recent model shoot. Her career is taking off. She's also my wife ... something I keep trying to say with modesty, but always comes out with beaming pride.

US VS. THEM WEEK

*** DIRECT LINK TO SHOW ***

Plans for a tiered Internet — shouldn't all our pipe dreams go through the same pipe? How to use the Net to avoid the DMV (short quiz). Podsafe music: Kaimoku with "Honolulu Shuffle." The age of the beep ... pagers, cell phones, garbage truck in reverse. Background noise is fridge ... not turning it off b/c I'll forget to turn it back on, and my marriage is but one melted leftover smoothie away from the dust heap of history.

Sorry for skipping a week ... making up for it by hijacking the "Cotolo Chronicles," veteran jack-of-all-media Frank Cotolo's live 2-hour weekly Internet radio show, which features me for the last 90 minutes.

I know, I know, but he gives everyone persmission to do this with the first words out of his mouth every week — so put your lawyers back in their holsters.

We talk about everything from the future of podcasting and live radio shows to Tom Selleck's sexuality and how much Hawaii marks up Macaroni and Cheese.

Meanwhile, my wife and I both celebrate our birthdays this week (she's 28, I'm 38) ... she's so pretty everyone thinks she married me for my money ... it really sucks when the one thing people think you've got going for you, you also DON'T HAVE!

Having a party tonight ... maybe we'll post some pictures if I can crop any of them into PG-13 dimensions.

Aloha,
Curt
