TechTV Reunion? - LOL: The Life of Leo

A TechTV reunion show of some sort? Is it possible, maybe. Would it air on TV, I don't think so. It wouldn't surprise me if G4 did anything they could to keep it from happening. I could be wrong.

I don't want to be a tease, but there's some interest in putting together a TechTV reunion show for the net. Many of the TechTV hosts have said they'd participate, including Kate Botello. Kris Kosach, Chris Pirillo, and Jim Louderback. Martin Sargent has offered to host it. I know we could get all the TWiTs involved.

Can you hear ultrasonics ringtones?

Students find ring tone adults can't hear


Find out just how far your ears can hear into the range of ultrasonic ringtones. Pretty much everyone should be able to hear the lowest tone (8kHz). Many people should be able to hear up to around 14.1kHz, from around 17kHz upwards we get into the range that only the under 20's can hear!

Yeah!!! I'm just slightly above average.

You are in your twenties

You can still hear reasonably well and you can play this without my old fart colleagues hearing it which makes you feel kinda good. The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 15.8kHz
