We recently found ourselves in Las Vegas for the ginormous annual Consumer Electronics Show. Spanning several massive floors in several massive buildings, this is the event for all things gadgets, geek and just plain wtf? You've already heard about the 100"+ HD plasma displays, the Blu-Ray disc players, the portable 1TB disk drives. So rather than waste your time rehashing all that, we thought we'd have Irina take you on a tour of some of the more obscure finds at CES. Episode links: CES2007, Veronica Belmont, Jimmy Rooney

Dr. Tiki and Johnny Johnny of the intoxicatingly refreshing online video show Tiki Bar TV happened to be in our neck of the woods recently. Irina cornered the good doctor and witty mixologist on a San Francisco rooftop and got the scoop on behind the scenes drinking, snakes that are all shaft and no balls, show production, Russian mail order brides and the future of Tiki Bar TV and the Internet. Much knowledge being spewed, you really don't want to miss this. Episode links: Tiki Bar TV

What is all this Yelping about? Why do Yelpers throw such great parties? What makes Yelpers such a passionate bunch? What the hell is Yelp anyway? All legitimate questions. GETV invades a recent Yelp holiday party at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco in a vain attempt at getting to the bottom of these thorny questions. OK, so the open bar helped to grease the wheels, but the free booze didn't make the night's interactions any less interesting. Irina brings you the scoop with interviews of several passionate Yelpers. Episode links: Yelp, California Academy of Sciences, Jeremy Stoppelman

After seeing Justin Timberlake's brilliant gift idea on SNL last week, MC Slutsky didn't want to leave the fella's out in the cold. So, despite a horrific tone deafness, here is her rendition of this very special Christmas song. The track was laid down by Drown Radio aka Doc, a San Francisco electronic music artist and Nerdcore MC, who also directed the video for MC Slutsky's musical debut. Look out for more collaborations from these two, a la Timbaland/Missy. Additional presents provided by Molly Ditmore. And all the fancy gadgets are belong to Ryan Block. Big ups to Jay Dedman for the camera & editing work on this one.

Ze Frank has a posse. That posse is known as Sports Racers. One Sports Racer by the name of RunningFool, or Luke as his parents might call him, is in the midst of tossing himself off from Sports Racer to Sports Racer in an attempt to travel across the United States. Completely organized from the forum of Ze Frank's website, RunningFool is traveling like a human baton with the help of 300 fellow Sports Racers. Irina catches up with RunningFool as he passes through the San Francisco Bay area. Several other Sports Racers show up and demand to be counted.

Today, all ninja fans worldwide are able to pre-order the hot-of-the-press Ask A Ninja DVD compilation. In honor of the DVD release, the International Day of the Ninja on Dec. 5 and --- most importantly --- the fact that this episode of GETV will be featured on the historic DVD (as far as we can tell, this is the first online video show that has put out a compilation), we've decided to rebroadcast our interview with Kent Nichols and Doug Sarine, the guys behind the Ninja. Or next to the Ninja, sometimes they stand in front of him as well -- anything to avoid getting killed. For everyone in the LA/Hollywood crew, Irina will be co-hosting the Ask A Ninja party on Dec. 5, so please come by around 7pm to Cinespace at 6356 Hollywood Boulevard and say hello. Though be forewarned as the floor may be covered in human pizza. Episode links: Ask A Ninja, International Day of Ninja, Pre-Order Ninja DVD, DVD Release Party
