Great video. Btw my microphone sucks. so wich one do you use?

[shmalignant]

I use a cheap old external mic which I have had for about 15 years. The brand is quickshot. You can probably find a good mic at a thrift store for super cheap.

What was the theme etc that you loaded to get your ubuntu looking that cool.

I want one too!

The Gtk2 theme is Dust which comes with Ubuntu 9.10. The icon theme is Humanity which also comes with Ubuntu 9.10. The orange color of this theme contrasts well the green fern wallpaper. There's a link to the wallpaper in the description. The ciaro dock theme is "Chrome-Round".
