I just LOVED seeing the new 3-D ultrasound in action!
It is so amazing.
Since you’ve posted it, I am assuming you have the video on DVD.
Ahh! I should have had the childrens 10 yrs later!
Congrats to you and the Mom-to-be.
I always VOTE 1st of the month but maybe you SHOULD offer a direct link to voting to make it easier for others.
Still finding your content innovating .. you have been one step ahead of RocketBoom and Digg several times.
Keep it up.
I will overlook the short absences.
Speaking of which THANKS for the RSS!
Hey Lucian…I love the show and I look for a new one several times a day. Lately there has been a popup that asks me to allow active X. I don’t know what that is, but it is a hassle. Now, when I want to check to see if there is a new show, I am shown an opening page then I click on the “Watch Current Episode” button, then I get the active X inquiry, I have to click to OK it then I can see if there is a new show or not. Phew, what a hassle! Can you put the current shows date on the opening page so I don’t have to go thru that clicking ceremony. Thanks for your great show.
Hey Myles,
Don’t worry, you’re not an idiot. Just go to (http://vote.planettvshow.com) and you should be able to fill out the blanks and vote. If that link is not working you can go to the Planet TV show home page (www.planettvshow.com). There is a link for voting there also. Thanks for voting and watching

Hey Lucian
It was great to see you talking about issues such as climate change. I’m an 18 year old in the UK and I’m too scared to think about what might happen to the climate within my lifetime! Despite things like the Kyoto Protocol, we’re still pumping way too much CO2 into our atmosphere. We need to stop burning fossil fuels invest more in renewable energy sources.
Check out the following link – it’s an experiment run by Oxford University in conjunction with the BBC to calculate the effects of climate change.
