Here’s a direct MP3 download of MBW 81.

Very fun episode this week if I do say so. Andy and I nerded out a lot, there was much jollity, we worked blue a few times, and my (repeat) pick o’ the week is SafariStand – specifically for the amazing “Copy Link as Markdown” and “Copy Link HTML Tag” functionality. Dammit: go pimp your Safari!

Next Week: Patrick Wilson from Weezer

Oh, man. How did I forget this? Next week, MacBreak Weekly’s special guest will be Pat Wilson, the drummer from Weezer and The Rentals and the multi-instrumental leader of That Special Goodness. Yeah, I know; I can’t believe it, either, but he actually asked Leo if he could be on the show. Weird. I wonder if he sent email to the wrong place and actually thinks we’re Grammar Girl or something.

Anyhow, it’s on, and I’m thrilled, because I go way back with Weezer. After the jump’s a live video of an old Weezer favorite (which, according to WikiPee, Pat co-wrote), “My Name is Jonas.”
