Seconded. That's what the twit.tv guys use, and they're pretty directional, so not only is the quality very good, you miss background noise, etc.

Argh! I want this to NOT be an April Fools joke. Good show Ross, this is the first April 1 gag that has actually made me laugh in a while.

Poland is because of his Polish girlfriend, that is, me Well, that is a pretty good reason. I'm thrilled to see the response for this (granted, I can't be as thrilled as you guys are, but as a fan of the videos it's nice to give back). Oh and: Ross, you are placing no burden on the fans by doing this. You asked for help and we're giving it freely. And you even produced a fun and informative video to do it. You hand out content, we're happy to hand back some cash.

I dropped some in the tip jar as well, thanks for FM! And why Poland? I wouldn't worry about SSD write limits. I once did the calculation that if you wrote each sector on an SSD once per second you'd have several thousand years of writes available. (Of course, depends on the drive quality, etc.)
